Check out the "Garage Noise" YT channel. He has several videos covering the LVLP R500 spray gun and its many variants (Eastwood LT100, SPRAYIT 33000, and several others). It uses <6CFM and has some parts interchangeably with the W400 Bellaria. Vevor sells a version that comes with 1.3, 1.4, and 1.8 needle/nozzle/air cap sets and a 32 oz aluminum cup. I bought the Vevor one but have not used it yet. I took it apart to clean it and it had very little grease in it. It is a gasketless design so there are very few parts to go bad and needle/nozzle/air cap sets are available in 1.5, 1.7, and 2.0 as well. The needles. nozzles, and caps are all non-ferous so you can use them with water-based paints as well. here is an Amazon link to the one I bought:
VEVOR LVLP Auto Paint Spray Gun
I know it's not a name brand, but it works with small com[ressors and has favorable reviews.

For a small compressor you need a "conventional" gun, not a HVLP which
uses a lot of air. I used a foreign Binks 7 copy when I started out with a
1 hp compressor. Astro makes a good gun for under $100.00.

walcom used to have one called a slim s. its around 6-7cfm i believe. i used to have one when barry was giving them away with a case of primer. lol, has anyone been using spi here long enough to remember that, lol? that has to be 20+ years ago. no idea if they still make the gun or not. i gave mine to my dad and he still has it today.
