Would this be a good choice to power a "light duty" paint sprayer (for painting the occasional cabinet/cabinet doors, furniture, etc) ?

For occasional and light duty work I would say yes. The compressor is very quiet and yet has quick recovery and holds good pressure. I would not agree to professional or prolonged use with a spray gun or any high cfm consumption tools. This handles my nail guns and airs an occasional tire with ease.

The tank on this unit is only 2.5 gallons, so it would be recharging constantly. I would go with a bigger unit.

It works just fine for a paint sprayer. The DWFP5513 has the power and capacity needed........

Yeah, it should work great! I usued this machine inside and outdoor with no problem. Make sure you that you clean it well and the paint should not be thick.

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%.

This is a great air compressor for carrying around and will run 2 trim nail guns @ a time or a flooring nailer, but you won't be able to run any kind of larger air tools than that (ratchets, grinders, impact guns, etc.).Probably not enough air volume for even a small paint sprayer to run for more than just a very short 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.

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.

Average wood screws into 2x4s yes it has plenty of power for that. If you are looking to drive the 2 1/2" into deck planes or securing windows into the framing them you are looking for something more in the line of an 18Volt impact driver.

I would only recommend for very light duty. Looks cool and is light in weight but also light in functionality as well.

I suppose it depends on what you use it for. It still operates but it is only good for very thin material, such as stains. It won't spray anything too heavy like most paints, so it doesn't work very hard.

Yeah I would recommend this unit for hobby type use. I can only give that recommendation because I don't use it on a consistent basis, but it works great for my weekend projects!

nI do not use this to paint your ceiling too much over spray.I would use a roller tried to use a power painter on the ceiling once took me two days to clean the woodwork.

I doubt it would run a HVLP gun. It would be O.K. for an Air-Brush, but not and full-on spray gun. The tank is too small to keep up with the demand of an HVLP gun. This compressor works great for small hobbyist type project. It's not good for constant demand usage. I'm a cabinet maker by trade and I know what it takes to run spray guns and nail guns. This is not made for heavy use.It works fine for what I use it for. I was tired of spending money on those compressed air cans like "Dust-Off", they use for blowing out computers and keyboards. I use mine to blow out small parts that I have cleaned with solvents and the like on pistols and rifles as well as my reloading bench.I hope this helps. I doubt it would run a HVLP gun.

I think it would be. I used this last summer on my sidewalks and a large concrete deck underneath my wooden deck and have to say I was impressed with its power. It's great for its size and cost. That being said because it's small it took me longer than a larger unit. I don't use a pressure washer often enough to justify a more expensive one. Also I had tried one from Walmart and returned it....no power at all. This was 100 times better! Hope this helps

Side of the box says 35+ gallon for "continuous use", 7-34 gallon for "intermittent use", 1-6 gallon "do not use", and 40psi min to 70psi max. Beyond that, and like most continuous run pneumatic tools, the requirements vary by performance expectations. If you have low requirements and realistic expectations, such as very small paint jobs and/or using thin paints at lower pressure, then it'll probably work. If you want to paint a house, buy/borrow a larger compressor. If it helps, here's my last project with this, painting a 14x26ft cinderblock outbuilding: On my 12 gallon (4hp, ~20 year old, mediocre worn-out condition), using heavy extra-durable exterior-grade latex + primer (not thinned) at ~60psi, it can cover about 40 sq. ft (~5x8ft) of wall before the pressure drops off noticeably, then another ~10ft with decreasing spray quality (narrower thicker spatter-y pattern) before needing to wait a few minutes for recharge. Not sure about the line pressures over that cycle, rough guesstimate maybe ~40-60psi for regular spray pattern, then ~30-40psi diminishing returns, and not usable below ~30psi. You can probably guesstimate performance by timing how long your compressor can maintain those line pressures. Final note on durability, the body is a fragile cast iron, it can last for decades or split in half on the first ~2ft drop on concrete. Hope that helps...

it isn't sufficient for a spray gun. it runs continuisly and it cannot provide consistant pressure that is required. only had for 2 weeks but would like more capacity

I have never used this unit for spray painting but it runs all of my nail guns sanders etc....

Since it is a Roller not a sprayer, you might not get the result you are hoping for. If you are painting a relatively flat even surface you should be pleased.
