What type of paint are you thinking. As far as latex water base and oil paints, its no problem. It can shoot anything a regular airless can spray. It has up too 2,000 psi ....Berh paint is pertty thick and it does it with ease, just buy the proper spray tip to your liking. Also as a heads up, Graco sells only 4 tips for the gun but are very expensive. You can remove the plastic guard on the factory nozzle on the gun and cut some of the plastic around the tip. You should be able to pull it out and use different sizes from regular spray guns.

Yes it can. My first project required one gallon each: Kilz Oil Base, Kilz latex, and Valspar prime and topcoat. Be sure to use the plastic liners. CAUTION WITH KILZ OIL. Atomization releases the VOCs. I only had a vapor mask and got dangerously close to overcome. In fact, I don't remember coming out of the room being painted or about the next hour!

I Would have to say No. The sprayer itself is plastic. This item is a POS. Tried many thing to get it to work to no avail. Paint just comes out in any pattern it feels like.

I would guess not. You need to check the continuous air requirements of the sprayer and compare to the compressor. This is great for nail guns which need small bursts of air, and even for that it needs to cycle more often.

I would not use it for this. The area it sprays is about the size of a quarter.

I used the sprayer to paint kitchen cabinet doors with glossy acrylic paint. The sprayer worked very well. Keep the spray head moving quickly to prevent drips. Use multiple coats to build up spray surface.

yes. we used it for all those things. Even our kitchen cupboard door! The only thing you have to be aware of is that changing from different paint brands can affect the thickness it will spray on. so always be sure to test and practice each time you change color or brand. We used it in our entire house when we built last year. no problems. but some sherwin williams paints spray on thicker so we had to do a lot of sanding. obviously your primer will go on thinner. ect..

Hello, I don't see any reason why you couldn't. I have read that sometimes the paint can be a little thick which can cause problems but I had no problems whatsoever. This device worked as advertised and saved a lot of time.

Yes. Dont let the paint get too low. And clean out very good. The spray tip that comes with it may be to wide for some of yourjobs. I would buy a smaller spray tip.

Not really. The nozzles are not meant for that type of precise work and the pressure would be too high and vary so much as to make control tough. An airbrush is the way to go for you.

I can't personally attest that it can, but because it has a variety of spray tips, I think that you might be able to. From what I read on the Paintinfo web page says that you don't want to spray, because you can't put on a thick enough coat, even if you do two coats. It seems that the optimum layer of elastomeric is in the range of 27 to 32 mils, and a sprayer is only going to give you in the range of 2-3 mils per coat. The info states that even with brush or roller application, you will probably need more than two coats to get your desired thickness. I hope this helps.

It's awfully thick so I don't think it can be sprayed. It took 2 coats to cover my cabinets but they look great. I cleaned them first with window cleaner and the paint rolled right on. It looks great in my kitchen. I did buy a better thick roller that worked well too

I think it may be a bit thick for plastic and won't work. You are probably much better off with a specialty spray like Rustoleum plastic or Kylon Fusion. Those are made for plastic specifically. Also, just being a bit handy, I would rough up the Nerf gun with some fine sandpaper before spraying this way you have a better surface to stick to. Here's a link to the plastic paint: http://www.amazon.com/Rust-Oleum-211338-Paint-Plastic-12-Ounce/dp/B0002YPHFC/ref=sr_1_1?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1374670105&sr=1-1&keywords=plastic+paint

I would think it would work just fine, but don't really know. When spraying you have to be very careful of runs and building un-even application. several thin applicaions might work fine.

Yes and yes. Remember that the product does not adhere to the wall so you'll have to be careful about allowing the paint to run underneath. If you are able to do so, spread the paint from the stencil area to the wall and not vise versa as the paint will surely run underneath the stencil.

This is not the right spray gun to paint walls. I use it for small projects and touch up jobs (only oil paint) Bedside table or chairs etc. Cheers George.

Yes, I used latex paint with the sprayer. You will need to thin the paint, and spray multiple coats.

I would not waste my time with this Paint Sprayer. I found the paint or stain has to be so thin it becomes all most useless.
