We’ve used it. The stuff we bought could be sprayed right out of the can, just mix, strain, spray.

Use a 1.8 or 2.0 tip.

most, if not all, modern spray guns are HVLP design. The biggest difference is they require a more robust compressor. Full sized HVLP guns typically require anywhere from 8-15 cfm’s where conventional guns are around 7. Modern primers and paints are designed for HVLP guns...as such you will receive better results using less material.
Or are you talking about an airless paint sprayer?

Talking about a H VLP turbine system , not a shop air compressor.
I’m some sort of heretic who rejects the a ir compressor and all its accessories to dry/filter/regulate/undry/unregulate/unfilter and all the hoes, I use electric tools. So multi- stage turbine it will be ...

I have no experience with them . I’ve never been given any information suggesting doing anything differently with the material was necessary for this method of application, but ask the supplier if there is anything you should do differently from conventional application. I don’t think there will be.

Not yet. I’m doing the research on the HVLP and the guns. Gives me things to think about while I’m spending a zillion hours removing the old paint...

The Finex guns (Sharpe brand maybe?) are a fantastic value, especially if you’re only going to use it for primer. I’ve got two of them and like them better than the DeVilbiss I used to have. I don’t paint much anymore, but I can turn out a better job than a lot of body shops using my Finex guns. You’ll want a 1.8 or 2.0 tip for that primer. You may need to clean the tip periodically while spraying depending on how big the job is, it can build up and then spatter your work surface.
