That compressor is only good for mini guns.
Since you plan to do a whole car, you should get a 5 HP, something around 12-15cfm.

Assuming HF doesn’t exaggerate the CFM ratings:

Try to get something more than 80 gallon.

According to devilbss your gun uses about 10 cfm.
I’d get 80 gallon so the compressor doesn’t run out of air often.
If you decided to get that compressor, get a good filter setup.

ps: can you finda decent used compressor, maybe in craigslist?

horse power is as important as tank size, with HVLP ull need at least 5 hp, but 7.5 works better. sounds kind of backwards but the best guns and materials need lots of air to do the job rite and look good
