what would happen if I added it to an oil based paint?

I think you would just end up with bumpy paint because of the enamel in the oil base and it would not give you the easy to sand off finish. Adding this product would be like adding sand to your paint.

Yes. This is a dry lubricant that will need to be removed prior to painting.

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

I'm guessing, because I wouldn't want to try it, but I would say no. Unless the paint were as thin as water. It has a check ball that causes the siphoning action by "bouncing" up and down. My thinking would be that the paint would cause a sticky situation there and the paint would be heavy as well. I think you would have a hard time siphoning paint even the traditional way.

If it is an oil based paint you need to use paint thinner, available in the paint aisle. If it is water based paint you will use water to thin. Start with small amounts until you reach the desired consistency.

Easily probably no, it almost feels like a soapy stain at the beginning. Not sure if a paint would hold or just flake off without a lot of prep work to remove.

No, I used it with regular latex paint that I purchased locally. I've never tried it with any oil based paint.

sometimes the oils can harden in small bits, but if you rub it for a few seconds it should become like pure oil. If not, return it.

I would think, not. You would not be able to maintain a constant pressure so spray pattern would be varying. Cleanup would also be a consideration. I know the NAPA store I once worked at could fill aerosol paint cans with your paint code....a bit pricy, but a MUCH simpler solution.

I suppose you could, but depending on the paint it could affect the rubber surface and/or the adhesive. That would be a question for the manufacturer.

No u can use oilbased, but it'll take way to much mineral spirits to clean the machine. I don't use oilbased paints in mine.

I would not suggest it since it is water based. Paint may chip or flake off over time. I would use an enamel for metal, or silver rustoleum spray paint.

I wouldn't think so. I have not done any spray painting so a Iam by no means an expert. I would think the key to even application of paint is constant pressure. This compressor cycles frequently to keep pressure in the tank. Note I am using for airing up automobile tires. Spray painting may draw less volume down and thus the compressor maybe fine depending on the air requirement of the paint spray gun.Good Luck

I think that depends on the thickness, heaviness of the oil used. you might need to dilute it.

I have not thought about painting it the texture of it is smooth and kinda rough i do not know if the paint will absorb maybe you should give the company a call ask them they may can answer your question..just a thought on calling the company...Good Luck let me know if you can i might like to change the color of mine..... :)

I wouldn't recommend it, the paint is alcohol based and need a rubbing alcohol to remove. Plus it would be very sticky. If you can find a water based paint to use in this system you might have better luck.

That would depend on paint viscosity, air pressure, fluid tip size, and air and fluid control knob adjustments.
