The more light, the better. When you do not have enough light then you can not see the paint lay down, which can easily lead to runs and orange peel. | The more light, the better.

HVLP guns need air. The 1/4" quick couplers do not flow air well. The 3/8" couplers flow twice the air. The problem with the smaller coupler is that you start out with higher pressure and since the couplers can not flow the air you get a drop off of pressure. You have to change your rate of movement to compensate and that is not easy to figure out when you are just starting out. | HVLP guns need air. The 1/4" quick couplers do not flow air well.
