Will this spray un-thinned rustoleum (like you'd buy in a quart or gallon can)? I have a regular high pressure spray gun that does it but thought the cleanup would be easier with a gravity feed gun.

I would say no, unless you bought a ticket to to go with it. . It had a difficult time spraying primer for me right out of the box.

For details yes if your doing large flat areas or single color get an HVLP spray gun. But this gun does work really well.

Yes, the sprayer works very well, and I like the option of using 5 gallon containers for big areas. It is a little harder to clean up after using oil base paints then water base as you have disassemble the spray gun to clean.

Hi, we used this product on a concrete slab but were unsuccessful due to the texture of the slab being rough and not smooth. It did lift the paint but not all, which left lots to chisel off painstakingly. I gave up. I would not recommend the Soy Gel product for this kind of job. When we built on our screen porch we had a stamped concrete company do a design on it and they used a pressure washer to remove the old paint. That worked very well. I'm saving the Soy Gel for smooth surfaces.

Use rare earth magnets. DO NOT use the rustoleum brand use the magna magic, check the ratings. I have used both and the Rustoleum kind STINKS!!! Not joking the Rustoleum brand stinks to high heaven and it does not work. After you get your paint sand sand sand your area that you are going to paint. Then sand it again, smooth as a babies ass. Then get a roller and your paint stirrer ready. Litterally stir you paint every 3 mins maybe more. Stir it with half a coat hanger on cordless drill but be carefull!! Poor a small amount (as much as you use in 2 mins) in a paint tray and roll it out on to the wall. Stirr your paint, pour out a little, roll it out on your wall and repeat. It's mandatory to stir the paint because the metal particles fall to the bottom fast. So you have to get them susspended in to the paint.

I think you have to use Rust-Oleum brand cans as the spray head is designed to fit in the cart. The good news is there is virtually no wasted paint. We sprayed a grid and used 20-25 cans. They were completely empty.

I have not had good luck with any rustoleum products. No matter what I do.....great prep work...evrything....the rust comes back. I would be very skeptical. I just tired this stuff....hasn't been long enough to determine if it works. It is clear. I think the intent is to seal the rust in so oxygen can't get to it.

Yes. The hopper gun will handle about any fluid you put into it. I sprayed orange peel and knockdown and it worked great and cleanup was very easy. Good as any gun I have rented.

It doesn't spray. Its just an over sized can of "great stuff". It just comes with a steel straw meant for filling holes. I even tried putting a sprayer tip on it and still didn't work. Hope this helps cuz I was looking for same thing

I sprayed from the provided metal container. I had issues with it the whole time though. If i wasn't angling the sprayer up then it would just blow air. That makes it impossible to spray anything less than a foot and half or so off the ground. I wouldn't bother buying this sprayer. Spend the extra money and get something of real quality with plenty of positive reviews. If you're cool with throwing away $60 just send it to me and I'll find something to waste it on.

From the brief search I did on those substances, I'd say no. I've sprayed a rust proof primer and it came out kind of clumpy with the larger tip. I have shot tractor and implement enamels, with a little bit of thinning they can come out nicely. If you have to time to do multiple light coats, it might work.Also, and unrelated, I've been using a brake cleaner to clean this gun the last few times. It's reduced cleanup time by 2/3 and so far has shown no ill effects.

Your best bet is to email rustolem and ask them your question. I had some concerns about their products last summer,and i emailed them. They answered all my questions in a very timely manner and were very helpful. I wish you luck!!

Depends on how heavy. By removing the gun filter and thinning, I was able to spray a heavy product, Home Depot's deck Rrestore. Had to buy the large nozzle. Took a little fiddling but worked

Hi, Sorry to hear that, Yes, my experience was horrible with that product too. I tried getting rid of it just on one area (stairs) and I simply used a very hard-bristle metal brush. I don't really know if there are solvents or something better, I would ask @ home depot. Sorry.Hope you asked for a refund, I sent Rust-Oleum a dissatisfaction email and they refunded the product price. Not a complete consolation since the time & effort is more expensive, but it's something.

I used it to paint a large shed and it made short work of it. I tried to roll it but had difficulty because of the sidings textured surface. After getting the sprayer the job was finished much faster and consumed much less paint.Ceilings may be difficult because of the position of the draw from the reservoir. Pointing the sprayer up to spray the eaves required frequent topping of the reservoir.

I only used this product at 1st. I changed to "Transport Mikron" for things closer to me and "Demand" for the cracks I didn't touch. Both must dry before touching them. Transport is more effective. Go to http://www.domyownpestcontrol.com and read about products and other reviews. Transport was actually suggested by an exterminator (it is what they use). You will need to buy a 2 gallon pump sprayer from a farm supply store also

I read instructions on the can, nothing mention about using brush to paintI was used with air sprayer .This liquid very thin ( like.... water, solvent)
