can you use latex paint with the sprayer ?

generally,no.Latex does not atomize.It just sort of spits out.There are water clean up products called water born alkyds that do spray very well.These would be used for woodwork,cabinets,furniture.Not walls.

This spray gun will not spray latex paint as sold. You would need to purchase lager needle and tip to do so. You will need to purchase a 1.7 or 2.0 tip and slightly thin the paint to spray it. With that said this is not the right spray gun to paint walls. You can also send me an email for more information.DaveFurniture.fixer@snet.net

Yes, mix as directions and use it thru sprayer. It will go bad on you if you make too much and do not use it all up sooner rather than later. Love it though as does my friend too.

Unfortunately, I am unable to comment as I only work with latex paint. It works well with acrylic paint (I use Cabinet Coat slightly thinned) producing great results as it does with latex paints.

I just used water to mix it to the consistency that I needed. Using Latex paint depends on what you're using the paint for.

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)

Yes you can. However, the single action of the brush will only allow you to change air pressure and the amount of paint being shot out. Using a double action brush will allow you to change line variance and spray pattern during the process of painting.

I use this gun almost exclusively for oil based polyurethane. I tried using it with latex paint and was not impressed. The paint has to be thinned down so much that multiple coats have to be applied. I also had a problem with the paint gumming up at the atomizer. I've seen where others have used this gun with latex, but my experience was negative. Good luck to you.

Hello. I've used it over dry painted acrylic surfaces for art, but not on latex.

Yes latex paint will work fine. The color as delivered is an antique white. Sincerely, Mark - Battic Door Energy

No you use latex paint as is. try using FLOETROL paint conditioner. It helps to keep the nozzle from clogging.

Yes, it works fine with latex paint. I used it to paint several doors and it did a good job. I also tried to spray the woodwork, base boards, etc. but found that there was too much over-spray and it used way too much material for the narrow boards to be painted. It's good for medium jobs like doors but if you wanted to paint walls or an entire room you will be constantly refilling the canister. I recommend the larger Grayco Magnum for larger jobs like ceilings and walls.

Although I haven't personally tried it, the general rule is oil-with-oil. So it's a bad idea since latex is water-based.

Absolutely. This sprayer can spray latex paint which is much harder to spray than poly. No worries. - Gleem Paint

NO, this is a one quart sprayer designed for light bodied finishes like lacquer. I use mine to spray cellulose nitrate lacquer to refinish antique radios. It isn't designed for heavy bodied latex paints.

Its all about how you clean it after you do the job. Latex paints are easier to work with because they are water based.

Yeah, im sure you could. It is about the same consistency as standard latex paint, just slighty thicker.
