Will this spray oil based paint or lacquer?

Yes, it will. The lacquer I haven't tried but the manual claims it can. As for the oil based paint, I sprayed two coats of a brilliant oil in Tuscan red on our front door and it turned out AWESOME (the second time). It is very sensitive to density or viscosity (thinning) but, once you have it right, it looks like powder coat. I'm very pleased with it. Good luck!

I built kitchen cabinets, book cases and various other furniture, and I had used this sprayer straightly to satin and varnish those furniture. I only use oil base paint with this sprayer and for water base paint, I use my Graco paint sprayer. I set the spray volume to close to minimum to avoid over spray. One additional note, for oil base satin, always wipe out excess satin or even wipe off the entire surface to make the spray even.

Yes, however it must be thinned with mineral spirits regarding oil paints. Have used it several times with oil and latex paints. Works ok but I wish I had gone with the more expensive model from rockler.

I've never used lacquer with mine. I've sprayed a lot of oil based polyurethane and latex paint. Poly is the easiest. The trick is getting your material to the correct viscosity. A little trial and error and test sprays, this gun is easy to use.

I am not sure what type of paint Duracoat is, however I used acrylic lacquer, it worked fine

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

It will and does a good job. However, you have to "thin" the paint with water (almost double the amount recommended for an airless) and use a paint conditioner such as Floetrol. Additionally, you'll have to purchase the M-aircap Set #6 to spray latex.

There is a bit of over spray but you get a better finish with less. I primarily use it for painting furniture but I would highly recommend this sprayer.

I Would have to say No. The sprayer itself is plastic. This item is a POS. Tried many thing to get it to work to no avail. Paint just comes out in any pattern it feels like.

Spray Max 2K can be used over lacquers, enamels and urethane coatings. I have used this product with great success over all types of finishes.

You can spray fine lacquer, be sure and get the proper nozzle and check your pressure setting.

As I use lots of water to clean the machine with I'm siding with the other people that have answered the question to stay away from non water based paint. If you're thinking of thin lacquers or varnishes a regular spray gun would be better suited for that work.

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

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.

Try some clear spray lacquer, there are many aerosol products available. Lacquer is often used to coat metals and such.

Yes as long as it is dry and cured. I've used it on plastics, acrylics, urethanes, oil based varnishes and nitrocellulose lacquer as long as the material is fully dry and cured there is no problem.

We use oil base stain and it works fine. There is a good size hole on the tip.

Hard to say - this stuff is not real lacquer. Real lacquer has the property of blending new coats because of the vehicle (lacquer thinner).Call the mfgr.

NO, this is a one quart sprayer designed for light bodied finishes like lacquer. I use mine to spray cellulose nitrate lacquer to refinish antique radios. It isn't designed for heavy bodied latex paints.
