can I use on enamel paints w/ laquer thinner?

Absolutely, I almost use nothing but enamel paints. I strongly recommend the use of a respirator as well since you will be atomizing it.

Yes, you would just use less of the white colored mineral. There are 3 different colored mineral paints, you can use more or less of one of the colors. I was going for a grey color as well and was happy with the results.

I don't see why not as long as it's an oil base enamel. But I would always try on a scrape peice first when mixing products.

I don't know if paint would go through the nozzle, as it is set up for thinner liguids.

Funny you asked today. I used one of these for lacquer thinner and it was always full when stored. It worked well for like 2 months and literally quit today.

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

Yes, I was able to spray latex paint straight from the can with no thinning. A light touch of the trigger is required, or you will wind up with too much paint on the object being painted.

I used it with water based enamel paint. I cleaned the brush in warm water until rinse water ran clean.

The metallics take a bit longer than the flat and gloss finishes in my experience. You can thin it for better results, but using thinner coats of it straight from the bottle may work for you as well, depending on your painting technique (hand painted Vs. airbrush, etc.) Try thinner coats applied to the plastic model and doing multiple coats where applicable, first. If that doesn't/already isn't working, then try thinning it out progressively. You can practice on plastic spoons/knives to get your method down without running any potential risk with your model pieces.

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.

No, regular paint is too thick and will drip while drying. Visit a hobby or craft store, or buy paint off amazon. Testors is name brand for models

I used a small amount of lacquer thinner...working without it being thinned a bit was like brushing honey on! Thinning it a little made it wonderful to work with, and the finish is awesome! Did a wood top for making a bathroom vanity out of an antique buffet. Wonderful product!

You did not answer the question. Is this Lacquer or Enamel? they are completely different kinds of paint.

yes it i have used it for lacquer, enamel, and water based paint works great.

Yes, you can use ultimate compound, if necesssary. Sometimes a less abrasive compound or polish is enough, depending on the condition of your paint.

I have not tried it. But, the term "enamel paint" used to only refer to an oil based material which generally has a very hard surface and is shiny. Lately. there have been latex or water based paints that refer to themselves as "enamel" too, so you may want to find out what type of enamel you are trying to cover with this product. If you can't tell, you could test it in a small spot and see how it covers. Generally, I keep water-based products away from oil-based. But, I haven't been adventurous and maybe it's time to rethink it.

Yes, however it must be thinned with mineral spirits regarding oil paints. Have used it several times with oil and latex paints. Works ok but I wish I had gone with the more expensive model from rockler.
