Can this model handle very thick latex paint, such as mixed combination primer and paint?

NO, you will have difficulty if not being fully prevented from gettin much paint to spray, then it will certainly have fits and starts to compromise your nice smooth finish, although you can try to thin it and experiment...

I've never had any problem using Latex paint, and it's vinyl, so I don't see how that could be a concern.

Yes, I used latex paint with the sprayer. You will need to thin the paint, and spray multiple coats.

I would suggest lightly sanding the black with 150- 220 grit paper so new paint will grip well. If you can prime with something other than Latex, be better off on metal, perhaps rustoleum. I f you can get the paint in oil , would be best, but unlikely. Use gloss at any rate as harder finish I believe. The last option...Move ! Kidding Mark

Ken, We think so but it will depend on how thick the latex paint is. Also we are not sure if it will dry in the tubing or not. Let us know how it works out. Regards. Grey Beard.

It just depends how thick the Plasti Dip is. This unit will spray uncut latex paint, which is pretty thick, using a large tip. I think I use about a 19... I don't know how large a tip this unit can use, so look that up, and use the largest tip possible. And use the shortest hose length possible, as the longer the hose the thinner the paint must be. Hope this helps,JK

yeah, but not 100% without some care and help with priming. i sprayed some heavy ceiling paint but it took as long as using a roller.... so if that's all you are considering using the machine for, i might pass. it is really designed for "regular" paints

Yes, this is a excellent model! Take your time, follow the directions and make sure you have the right glue (polystyrene glue) I think that's the correct name, but you will see that in the directions! Painting is optional personal preference and Testors makes excellent model paints!

The same type you would use for latex paint - just be sure to feather out the edges, etc. Good Luck

the only paint i have used that was thick was asphalt aluminum non fibered paint and it worked fine. the only complaint that I have with the sprayer is that i think it was a store display model, it was new but it didn't come with instructions or the original box.

Yes. Use the fine finish adapter for this and remember to clean it out with paint thinner.

Yes, but the amount of stiffness is in direct relationship with the thickness of the paint. The more layers of paint, the stiffer the fabric under it becomes.

I spray high build primer with this gun. U should have no problem with latex

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.

Hello. I've used it over dry painted acrylic surfaces for art, but not on latex.

Am not sure. I haven't used it for latex paint. Try rubbing alcohol and some baking soda or borax! Good luck!

I think you can use latex paint, though I haven't. I use automobile paint which sometimes is thick like latex and I have no problems with it.
