Your first link didn't work.

Go to a local jobber and they will talk you through it or buy a name brand PPG, OMNI, Kirker, SPI, etc. You want a HVLP gun. Spend some time reading on here or any of the other paint forums. You will have more and better questions once you do so.

Agree with Tinydb84... read up on different forums, that gun on harbor freight might be good for small parts, but not spraying a large area, perhaps a very experienced painter might make it work, but its just not worth the loss of paint, and or potential problems that comes with such a cheap gun, you might be better off getting on Amazon and finding a HVLP gravity gun (paint hopper on top) they offer multi gun kits with different size tips, Youtube can be your friend, search it several ways, example+ painting cars for beginners, youtube can show even the best painters new tricks, not really sure of your paint skills, but its just a thought,
