Can this sprayer spray oil paints?

Yes, But you have to use Thinner with the Oil paint for it to spray properly

Not designed for paint... matter of fact, the manual expressly advises to avoid using paint in system as it will clog the pump and nozzle. Buy a real paint sprayer.

Yes. For all sprayers you need to thin paint. I used this sprayer to do a fence in solid stain and that had to be thinned. It worked great once I got the right viscosity which was easy to accomplish with the provided measurement bucket and viscosity cup. Also, check the paint manufacturer's ratio for thinning which should be on the can.

For home use and light hobby work, yes. I've used mine to paint trim work (baseboards, window trim etc.) with thinned enamel paint and to apply stain & poly finish on wood furniture I have made (T.V. cabinet, Medicine cabinet, ect.) If you plan to use your sprayer in a commercial setting (Multiple users, tossed in a job box at the end of a shift, etc.) you may want to try a turbine unit. For single users like myself I believe it is the best bang for your buck.

Sorry to say, I have no idea. My best guess is, it ought to be able to spray some kinds of paints if it's thinned way down. But area coverage, tank and sprayer cleanup may not be worth it.

Yes. But you MUST follow the directions for cleaning afterwards. LOTS of water thru the unit, use the solution that comes with it and remove and clean every part that is removable and clean those as well. This sprayer is a great time saver and will last and last if cared for properly. Any paint left will dry up, become impossible to clean and you will have ruined it. We have even used deck stain. Can't say it enough - clean clean clean.And as another person said - proper tip. Also very powerful sprayer so use caution as it can literally slice through skin.

As long as you didn't use the screw on cup and put the hose directly into the paint can. It sprays in any direction. Use a drop cloth though.

You can spray oil based products but I have never done it. Check out Graco's instruction videos on Youtube.

I believe the sprayer only works with most liquid chemicals. The instructions tell you to pump the sprayer 30 times for maximum spraying.

No. It is only for doing texture finishes like popcorn,orange peel etc...Wagner does have paint sprayers that are excellent though.

no this does not require a texture sprayer. This works with any standard compressor that can provide 30-40 PSI of pressure.

i wouldn't use it for spray painting unless spraying a small area its only 2.8 cfm sprayers use more than that... I use it for nail guns wouldn't use it for high cfm tools like angle grinders, sand blasters, air snips, hvlp or chisels. its a great compressor but still has limitations

Yes, just about any paint that you can think of can be put through this sprayer. The real real question is "should it be used for house painting." The answer is no and the reason is simple. Tp paint a house, you need a thicker coat of paint and a much larger reservoir than the single quart that this unit offers. This unit is excellent for jobs such as painting patio furniture, a child's wagon, etc. For a house you should look into an airless paint sprayer which pumps a thicker coat of paint through the paint nozzle (and with a wider spray pattern). Check out the following Amazon web page for various examples:

Hi Taher, yes it can. It's just harder to clean when oil paint is used-you made need to add paint thinner before use.

Yes, but you must clean out the sprayer nozzles. I use this sprayer for many applications, but you must clean out the nozzles otherwise you will have to replace parts due to chemical interactions with the polymers. I live this sprayer, but like everything else, you have to maintain it.

It probably could be but my concern would be clean up of the sprayer unit. I would suggest you consult the manufacturer on the use of solvents and any potential damage they might cause to the pump and rubber components

nope not at all.. this model allows you to attach a garden hose to it and flush it out or you can do the old fashion way of cleaning with a clean bucket of water and allowing the sprayer to pump the clean water, to flush the paint out
