can you paint a house with this? if not, why?

You can paint almost anything with this. But painting a house would take a very long time (an average size house) considering it only has a one quart cup, it won't be the most efficient way to go ( unless you have loads of time and patience, and it's YOUR house). This unit is made for small to medium jobs. They're 2-5 gallon capacity airless paint sprayers available if you want to paint a house

I painted my bonus room with half the paint and time. Don't see why you couldn't paint an outside.

You could paint your house with this. I wouldn't, but you could. For a few reasons... First, the paint container it comes with is so small you would have to refill it several times. (but they do have a backpack tank you can purchase seperately.) Second, is you have to thin the paint quite a bit to spray, and I don't mind this on interior projects, but I like a nice thick coat of paint on the outside of a house. You would definitely have to do multiple coats. (as in 3-4 coats) I really like the sprayer, but I don't think it's practical for spraying an entire house, more for small projects.

I don't know never tried it. I paint many pieces of furniture with it. I know with the spayer it only takes about ten minutes to paint each piece. The gun works really well. I think you could paint a house Bernie

Small sized homes, those under 1200 square feet on the exterior should be accessible. Interiors on a wall per wall basis should be attainable. However when doing a complete home consider the source of your paint. This system only holds one quart. You will have to thin your consecutive quarts exactly...which can be impossible even if you have the correct ratios. Personally I would use a sprayer with larger paint capacity.This machine is durable but will shine best on medium to small jobs.

I painted over this with Benjamin Moore enamel paint since I was refinishing a piece of furniture, but I can't see why you couldn't paint over it with acrylic paint...

I guess you can, if you're careful about it. I wouldn't know what type of paint to use. I just used crayons on mine.

I wouldn't. It is beautify as is. However anything made of wood can traditionally be painted.

Yes! you can paint the gun on the outside. NOT the inside. if you do in the inside it can gunk up parts and break your gun! and one more DONT. Never paint the orange (fake gun identification) thing on the tip. And thanks for asking!

Yes, if you find the proper tip you can paint anything. I was very impressed with how quick I was able to paint my house

Hi, As far as I know you can paint any clean surface with this paint. My son uses it for all his models plastic, metal, and wood. But always make sure first, try a spot inside or on the bottom before you start any project. Linda

I never painted mine, but I was told it could be painted. I would ask at a hardware store or call a professional painter.

I don't know but I would think you could. The elements might be hard on the finish, but you could always spray paint it if need be.

I sprayed mine with polyurethane to cover up some mess ups.. worked out real well... so I assume you could paint it as well..

I did not try, but I think it is a good idea. It should work, since the paint will probably not disturb/change, e.g. the thickness of the material. Good luck!

you can't use it at all, it's wood. It's pretty messy with the paint though. They could have done a better job with the paint.

Yes, you could paint it. I thought of painting it myself if I didn't like the color. The louvered doors in the front are solid so the painting would be easy.

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 think yes you could paint it. But a strong advice think twice. Like " kireviewer " said, please contact Polk before you do it. If not the end finish with your job will not give you a good result. Good luck to to you.

It is made from PVC material, but it has a very smooth surface. So yes, I would think you could paint it but be deliberate about it. If it were me, I would use an oil based primer and a high quality outdoor paint. Benjamin Moore has a waterborne alkyd paint called "Advance" that I think would be good, if they can provide it in a color you like. Anyway, when I say good quality paint I'm not talking about stuff you can buy at Home Depot. All this might be overkill, but I think it is worth being deliberate on surfaces like this outdoors.

My opinion is that you can paint anything. Having said that, some things take more effort than others. This would be one of those. Since the surfaces are laminate smooth, I think you would need to start with a good coat of primer and then go from there.
