I have an old 12 gallon Sears Paint Sprayer Air Compressor. The specs are 8.1 SCFM displacement with delivery of 6.4 SCFM@40 PSI and 5.4 SCFM@90PSI. This unit has a regulator but I have no idea what the SCFM will be at other PSI settings.
Questions - How closely do the paint sprayer and compressor specs need to match? Does the 6.4@40 psi mean any sprayer that requires 6.4@40 psi OR LESS will work? What about sprayers that require 4.5@30 psi?
Looking to understand what sprayer specs will work with my compressor. Choice NOT limited to the list below but have included some examples of paint sprayers I think will work based on SCFM@a given PSI.
Have included product links if interested.

Milwaukee ZRM491020 Airless/Fine Finish Paint Sprayer from Amazon
http://www.amazon.com/Factory-Reconditioned-Milwaukee-ZRM491020-Airless-Sprayer/dp/B003WJK10A
Works as airless sprayer or an HVLP fine finish sprayer. Can easily switch between airless and HVLP fine finish applications. Base is compatible with containers up to 5 gallons in size.
I will be painting a 16 foot aluminium Jon Boat that only sees fresh water. Plan to use self etching primer and Rust-Oleum paint. Marine paint is way too pricey for me.
Thanks
