When you say you have a 'desktop' compressor does it have a tank ? If it's designed for airbrushing and the tank is anything under 12.5 or really 25ltr you will kill it with a gun.

Especially an HVLP one. You'll pull the the trigger, all the air will flood out and you'll be waiting.

You need a minimum of 25ltr tank on your compressor and that will struggle to keep up. You can buy them in Machine mart and cheap places for about 50 quid, you can probably get a basic primer type gun with it for a deal price and that will be more than adequate to put the mask on with.
