Default Spray Paint Guns, what pressures to use ?

For home use, only want to paint the garden fence, so the odd run wouldn’t matter What air pressure should I set the compressor to with air spray/paint guns? Compressor is set at 90 psi atm fa air tools, but is that to high for painting?
Sorry but never used one of these spray guns b4, does it show
