Im looking to buy a spraygun and im not familiar with HVLP. Can I run a HVLP gun off a regular air compressor? or should i just stick with a regular spray gun??

It depends on the gun you choose and your compressor.
Most of the "conversion" guns (compressor operated) are real pigs for air.  If your compressor can handle the cfm requirement,  I'd say go for it.

I switched to HVLP about 7 years ago and I ain't looking back.
