can you paint a car with this ?

Since you are running 20-40 psi for painting, you could EASILY PAINT A CAR!

Yes, we have used it to paint our privacy fence and deck, don't see any reason it wouldn't handle painting a car.

Probably....... I used my last one to paint my fence. The Spec on the Compressor Reads: SCFM at 40 PSI of 4.8 cu and a Standard Paint Gun Operating Pressure found on Amazon is found to be 29 to 51 PSI Avg. Air Consumption: 4.2 to 7.1 CFM. I found another that read "Requires 43-58 PSI inlet pressure for proper operation" but doesn't reference how many cubic feet per minute.

Yes, but it is not the best option. I have painted large areas because I had no other option and it worked O.K. I have 8-9 of these and they are best for craft projects, say a wagon, small table, or wall sign. The paint needs to be strained and clean or it will stop up the siphon tip.

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

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:

I don't think this is possible. It dries pretty fast, and acts just like regular paint. I am not 100% sure, but I think it might only work if you erase it right away, but even then, it might leave a smudge.

I didn't paint mine but don't see why you can't. Use a semi gloss, it wears better.

Yes you can but I would return it if I were you. I purchased this product and it performed well when I first mixed it but could not go back and used the mixed paint later....it had turn almost solid and no amount of water softened it up.

I am sure you can paint any thing if you have the right primer and paint for the surface. Ask the paint store for the right products.

Absolutely not. This paint will never dry on vinyl and will remain tacky forever. Paint vinyl with vinyl paint from any auto parts store.

Yes, The car does have to be painted. We used spray paint which made it alot easier.

Yes you can however make sure to sand and clean the frame first..... And spray approximately no closer than 6 inches away to prevent the paint from running. This spray paint is one o the best I have used.... Great for stuff around the house and other stuff. I will upload some photos in the next couple of days.

It is paintable, although I think it would be overkill to repair a crack in the dash. It expands quite a bit when it activates and the amount to fill a crack would be very small.

Absolutely ! I used it to repaint the jeep logos on my car and it's amazing . Looks great, like new. Stays put with numerous washes too!

Whats different about your new car? Is it using some crazy new kind of paint? Does the owners manual specify that you have to use some crazy cleaning product or something? If not, then yes, you can certainly use this on your new car, and your old car, and just about anything else you want to be shiny and clean. I even use it on my motorcycle helmets.

I believe it should work fine. I have a friend who paints cars and uses one of these and has used it for many years.

Yes it can. You may have to use an extra coat of paint for complete coverage though.

From what I can tell no. I was going to paint mine but haven't yet. I would recommend cleaning the surface with a paper towel and some water or an alcohol cloth just to make sure there is no dust or grease on it. But auto paint can be very thin. May want to consider getting some cheap gray primer sprayed on it before painting. Good luck
