in the description says that it´s pre-thinned, that means that is ready to spray? just pour it in the gun and I´m ready to paint?

If it's got the words 'Spray' on the can, then yep. No thinning necessary, but maybe a good stir.

Yes. All you do is place it into your hopper and go to town. I used it on my 240sx. It came out very clean

Needs to be totally dry, time depends on the temperature and exposure to sunlight. If in doubt, let it dry longer so primer and paint adhere properly.

I just used it with Duracoat over the weekend. It worked fine except being my first time using one of these guns, I sprayed on too thin of material/too much air, so the paint dried before hitting the surface. I was trying to be a little careful, but I might need to redo the Duracoat now. Lesson learned, get the right air/material mixture.

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, I was able to spray latex paint straight from the can with no thinning. A light touch of the trigger is required, or you will wind up with too much paint on the object being painted.

It should take off enough clearcoat and paint to be able to lightly sand in preparation for paint. This is strong stuff and should only be used with the proper PPE.

Yes it will spray primer. I did not have to thin it at all. I did not use Kilz, I used Zinser 123 with the fine mist application jar. I used 2 coats, but that is just me, I wanted every thing to be covered. Then I used latex paint. I did not need to thin it out but I added Flotrol so the paint would take longer to dry, which makes for a very even application. I used it on a vanity, draws, and doors. I am planning on painting my kitchen cabinets next. It is an extremely good sprayer and I tried several.

This spray comes ready to use. It will always be in the "on" position. This one has a sort of "tap" above the button to release spray, meaning when your ready to use it, in an emergency, you need to just put your finger beneath the "tap lever" and on top of the spray mechanism. It's easy to use after you familiarize yourself with it. Be sure to test it out in an area outside and away from where anyone or any pets will be for awhile. Please keep that in mind, as it would be terrible if someone walking their dog went in that area 30-40 min after you test it. Since this one comes out like "silly string", it remains on object for awhile. Just like any weapon, test before you may have to use it, it's a good idea to know how to hold, use, & aim. Always try to be downwind (I know that's not always possible in an emergency). But again, the types that are like silly string, will have less of a chance of emitting spray where unintended. I have had a very cheap one before I got this one, & I tell you- it didn't work when I needed it! This one seems good. But you'll need to try to be steady when spraying. The upside to this one is that there shouldn't be any "blowback" some cheaper ones have. (blowback being unintended spray going back on you, or in your area). I shook mine before I sprayed, but only by habit. So I don't think you don't need to shake it at all. I carry mine with me all the time, and it hasn't leaked (also what cheap ones do often-which is really bad). This one I like alot. It's bigger than the cheaper ones, about 5" long, 2 1/2" diameter.

before using you are supposed to follow the instructions and keep it out for 2 days to come to its full form. And if you are asking about its recovery after you have been using it for a while.. It wont. It will start thinning with time

you must thin it to get it to spray correctly. Use the recommended thinner and be sure to strain it into the sprayer.

There is overspray with any airless sprayer. How much preparation and shielding will depend on your experience with a sprayer. I've been using airless spray guns for 25 years. I haven't purchased one of these yet, but I'm sure it has a different feel than a regular spray gun since you'll be holding a much bulkier unit in your hand. Drop cloths, painter's plastic, cardboard and spray shields are always a painter's friend. I can use an airless sprayer and shooting ceilings and only get 1/2" to 1" of overspray around the top of the walls - but that's because I can hold my gun at an angle that allows me better aim - this unit I'm sure would create a much larger spray pattern in ceiling-wall corners.

It's closer to drywall. If you are planning to paint it should be primed for best results. Overall I was happy with the end result and would use it again. It was also very easy to work with.

I will tell you one thing. do no skimp on prep time. If you can, san all of the old paint off first. It is not easy, but this is the only way to get a factory finish. might i suggest a wire wheel on a drill, then after that , smooth out the metal o it is realatively smooth. When you now paint it, make sure you do noy let the nozzle get to close to prevent runs, if ny type of imperfections were to happen, then wait for the taint to dry, then sand the imperfevt area, then put on at leaaaat two thinne coats rather than one Robert thicke coat

If you have an air brush that is all you need. Just remember once you add the hardener be ready to use it. It only lasts so long. If you don't have an air brush get a Preval sprayer make sure it has the bottle with it. Other than that it is great stuff.

I stained mine a Gunstock color from minwax and put a clear poly coat on top. Like a previous poster mentioned, it soaked up the coating pretty well.

POR 15 Glisten in my experience with the product is as heat resistant as most other automotive grade paints. In other words, it is not affected by heat up to and including engine bay temperatures. I use in on gun barrels and receivers and it is not affected by the heat of firing cartridges. It is pretty much imperivous to gasoline, as toluene or xyelene is required as a thinning agent. I agree with the first answer in that prep of surface is paramount. Area to be painted needs to be sanded and clean and wiped down with degreaser immediately prior to application. Hope this helps?

Paint sprayed through any small gun should always be filtered (easier than stopping to clean the gun). The gun is easy to use and it doesn't take long to get use to the fluid, pattern, and air controls. Plus, the gun is easy to clean and maintain. It is easier to spray if you have 4 to 5 c.f.m. of clean air. Have fun, paint your world bright colors.
