I didnt see this mentioned, a conventional and HVLP are two totally different animals. A conventional gun works by air pressure, a HVLP works by air VOLUME a huge and suffient difference.
If your air compressor can not meet or handle the air VOLUME requirement of your gun no matter of adjustment is gonna correct anything.
I didnt see you say what brand of gun you bought. Horror Fright purple guns are Sata knock off guns and are air hogs, they consume huge amounts of air. All Sata's run in the 14-15 CFM range and so do most Sata knock offs.
If your compressor simply can not meet the CFM rating of the gun, you are wasting time, period. Then you need to switch to a conventional gun which operates through air pressure and not air volume.
HVLP guns do not spray paint as fast as conventional guns so you need to slow the speed down. Also, only pay attention to the paint hitting the panel, adjust the speed as the paint lays flat. Paying attention to where you are gonna go is NOT as important as the where you just currently went...Eric
