Ignorant spray gun noob

And by ignorant, I mean REALLY ignorant. I have almost zero knowledge base. However, we were just donated three HVLP spray guns from Anest Iwata (http://anestiwata.com/product/az3-hvlp-s-impact/). But I don't know what to do next. Obviously, I need a compressor, or some sort of airless unit. But I don't know what to look for. We have a compressor, but it is a cheap one from ALDI, and just use it with our nailer and to blow out machinery.

If anyone is aware of a general overview so I have some context, that be great. Or, if you just know of the right equipment for this gun, that is helpful.

I saw this: http://www.jnequipment.com/show_detail.php?item=253958S%26D_-_Graco_390_Stand_Airless_Sprayer_%28Floor_Model%29. Is this appropriate at all?

Also, sorry, as I'm sure this has happened countless times on this board.

Iwata makes a really nice gun, as long as you supply enough CFM it should work really well for you. Also make sure and get the larger ID air hose (5/8" instead of 1/4") The larger diameter supplies more air volume and makes the gun atomize better ( HVLP = High VOLUME of air, Low pressure) So according to the spec sheet for your gun you will need a compressor that will put out 13CFM at 35 PSI
