Knowing tip pressure is nice. But, few of the guns we will be buying to paint our FFPW's have a way of measuring tip pressure. Your work and skill level is above that of the average FFPW owner.
The trouble with painting a truck yourself is that by the time you have purchased the right equipment and worked out the process, the job is already done.

"In addition, manufacturer-suggested pressures often don’t specify whether they are measured at the compressor’s regulator, the gun’s inlet or at the air cap.
In order to adjust the pressure at the inlet or air cap, you need an air gauge that attaches to these locations. For example, if the suggested pressure is measured at the air cap (where the HVLP requirement of 10 psi or less is measured), you require a special cap with an attached gauge — for an extra couple hundred dollars."
