I want to ain't kitchen cabinets. 2 coats of primer, 2 coats of paint and a poly top coat. Is this sprayer OK for my project? Is an air pressure required?

It will probably do fine. My problem with this unit was that it didn't last very long. No air compressor is required. I don't know why you would need 2 coats of primer. I generally get by with 1 coat of primer and 1 coat of paint unless you get cheap paint. The Poly top coat may require a different nozzle size than the paint and primer. It is generally quite a bit thinner. Good luck!

Yes this product is fine for that. No additional equipment is required. So no air pressure needed.

I had this sprayer and had nothing but problems with it. It wouldn't last more than a half hour before having to replace the of rings and seats. I wouldn't recommend the sprayer at all. I finally through mine away. I would go with a another brand all together. I have had several of their products and wasn't impressed with any of them.

The sprayer is advertised to do the project that you describe, but my experience was similar to that of other respondents. It will likely be more pain than gain to set up the sprayer for each stage of your work and then flush it and prepare it for the next. I too gave my sprayer away for free. You don't need an air compressor to.use the sprayer. However, if you do have a compressor, you can get a genuinely useful spray attachment and you won't need to have anything to do with Wagner's sorry product.

I ordered this paint sprayer to paint by kitchen cabinets. I have never used a spray gun and was a little unsure to try my first time on something as important as my kitchen cupboards. My son in law offered to do the painting for me. I was very pleased with the result. He said the gun worked well and he was spraying oil base enamel paint, that had been thinned about 20%.

I would not put this product through a sprayer as it is like a two part epoxy and will solidify in your machine. Apply with a hand tool, and only mix up what you can work with. This is an awesome product, which I had much success with, but read and follow the directions.

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.

I checked the manufacturer's web site for specifications. They claim that it can be used as a primer for other paints, so I painted over the Hydro Seal 75 that I had applied with a vapor-barrier type paint. The combination seems to work really well. I'm not ready to sell my basement dehumidifier yet, but it hasn't been used since I painted the walls about seven months ago.

The Product is corrosive and a the SPRAYER NO 50P POLY (4770-0) should be used, however if it is for a one time application and you wash the sprayer thoroughly after use, you should be fine. please confirm that the plastic on the sprayer is durable and not susceptible to corrosive elements.

I built kitchen cabinets, book cases and various other furniture, and I had used this sprayer straightly to satin and varnish those furniture. I only use oil base paint with this sprayer and for water base paint, I use my Graco paint sprayer. I set the spray volume to close to minimum to avoid over spray. One additional note, for oil base satin, always wipe out excess satin or even wipe off the entire surface to make the spray even.

Yes nailer and mini sprayer hvlp guns things that don't need a lot of cfm to run. I mostly use an airbrush and mini sprayer. But nothing that need over 4-5 cfm

It is NOT an airless paint sprayer. The fact it does not use a compressor has nothing to do with the contents of the spray pattern. This unit has air and paint mixed into the spray pattern, resulting in more overspray. An Airless paint sprayer does not have any air mix into the spray pattern, resulting in little or no overspray.

It totally depends on what you're covering and how many coats you spray, and how thick you apply it. I bought one can to paint an exposed metal support post in my basement, about 5 in diameter and 8 ft tall. I sprayed very light coats, allowing a few minutes tack time for eack, and went over the whole post 5 times. I used the whole can.

It's all about CFM (cubic feet a minute) not pressure, this spray gun requires quite a lot of CFM and if your compressor cannot supply enough of it than you will have to wait while the compressor can fill your very small tank

I live in Texas and was working at around 85-90 degrees F. I had trouble with fast drying paints drying in/on and clogging up the sprayer. You might want to try clearing most of the poly by spraying water/detergent solution through the sprayer with the second cup. Then, put the spray tip in water/detergent solution and place a damp rag on the open spray head--not the entire sprayer--while you wait. Certainly, the poly can stay in the cup if it is capped.

Hi Sue, I used it to paint a ceiling and walls. As with any sprayer there is a lot of over-spray so mask and cover floors and any area you don't want "misted". Be sure to wear goggles and respirators for your safety. I started by testing my sprayer by starting painting into a large empty box to be sure it was working properly . After working all of the plastic coverings and rags and whatever went into the box and out with the trash.

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)

That all depends on the spray gun your using. This compressor puts out 3.8 cfm at 40 psi, guns today can require 3 times that amount of cfm. HVLP guns require higher volumes of air. Older style siphon feed guns, especially a small touch up gun, may be able to be used depending on the tip and air cap configuration. A small airbrush you could use easily. This compressor builds air quickly at its stated rating, but the storage capacity is just not adequate for paint spraying. Hope that helps.

I've never had a problem with this painter. I had to get under a cabinet I'm refinishing and was pointing the sprayer up, it didn't leak or have an issue with residual paint going in different places. I would say however, if you are painting eaves just do it on a day that doesn't have any wind. You know how that can get :)

I would have to say yes. The sprayer has adjustable volumes for the paint. You may need to adjust the angle to get all of the nooks and crannys. Also overspray will probably be brutal due to gravity. Falling on you and the floor... Hope this helps
