The Pro is supposed to be good for furniture. How does this one do? I would like to paint chairs, bookshelves, cabinets, etc.

there is too much over spray from this gun even at its lowest pressure setting it would not be a good choisce

I think this would do great for just about any small to medium sized painting project. I'm no expert and I had great results spraying un-thinned latex paint on my furniture project. It made painting quick and easy.

I've only used mine a few times to do my fence and deck, it really works wonders. A bit messy, but I see no reason why this would no work on furniture. I plan to do my cabinets this coming spring with my graco.

only used to paint walls and ceilings - but if I had to I think it would be very easy. No downside to what this little painter can do. Actually would be easier to paint furniture than ceilings and walls because of the repeat filling of the canister.

If you are going to do all your upholstered pieces of furniture, I would get a machine with more capacity. This machine is excellent in what it does, but with the attachment size and the tank capacity, it is geared to smaller jobs. To do a large area, you would be empting the tank with dirty water and refilling the tank with solution and water way too frequently. Remember also that the quality of the cleaning solution you're using is a major factor in your results.

It works much better than I expected it to on furniture. In fact, I didn't even try using it on furniture for a bit because I expected it to be a mess. I was afraid of the furniture getting wet and the attachment not being able to suck enough of the water back out but it did real well.

No, it's smooth, but you do have to let the paint spray out for a few seconds first to get a smooth finish. I used it to spray furniture too and it was very smooth and even coverage. I used paint that had the primer build right in and it worked GREAT!

I picked up an ep121 at fry's in concord last week, I have a CINTIQ 21UX, and I'm employed as a character artist. The cintiq pen and intuos pens won't work on it as people have already said. The pressure sensitivity is not working in photoshop, i think there's a driver fix for this but i haven't bothered with it. Photoshop works best with a keyboard/keypad anyways. Alias sketchbook pro will be your friend. The brushes work great and the program is stroke based. 256 levels of pressure sensitivity, it depends on the artist. It's fine for me, I don't know that my arm has 256 levels of pressure. The line quality is good and it's responsive while drawing. Awesome device for drawing on the go, or sitting on the couch. Any serious work you'll probably want to use a standard computer, but no reason you shouldn't be able to do great things on the ep121. Battery life i get around 3-4.5 hours depending on use. I hope they start shipping these things out to you all soon, I'm loving mine! ps. This thing also runs zbrush pretty well. although it's pointless to try to use zbrush with a resolution os 1200x800, the menu's are too filling. But, it CAN handle a million polygons without much problem. I didn't try maya on it yet. If anyone's interested i can give it a shot.

Hi. I have been working with paints all my life. Working forDuPont and Val-Spar. I have used vinyl finishes a few time on my own stuff and works well. I have had no problems with cracks or peeling (due to a flex additive) but for everyday use I feel it will wear through after everyday sliding back and forth as this is a thin material being sprayed and will take a few coats for decent coverage. The articles Ive sprayed in the past were chairs that did not get much use but looks good. But for the price it can't hurt to try. At worst just touch it up from time to time. Hope this helps a little anyway. Thanks.

I have not used it to clean upholstered furniture but I think that would be a good idea. Sorry I was not more help.

I used it on 1/4 thick birch plywood. It provides a nice white (the longer you let it set or the more coats you give it, the whiter and brighter). I have not used it for furniture but for wood burnings I've done where I want to emphasize the waves or lightning. I like the job it does as it lets the wood grain show through. It is not as transparent as non-water based stains, but it does work well.

I've used it many times over varnished wood, and had very good results. Most people, these days, seem to skip the middle steps of sanding and wiping down, and are pleased enough with the results. I prefer to do it old school and reap the benefits. Even 1-2-3 will adhere better if you break the gloss, first. Your end results are only as good as your preparation. If the chair is old, it may be shellac and not actually varnish. Zinsser also makes a shellac-based product called B-I-N. Both work really well.

In the western world no one has used more of this paint than me...you will be fine if don't make the mistake of using the "Universal" formula which is meant for plastics..buy an extra can or two..it is very useful...cheapest at Walmart. I've done desks, chairs, mirrors, lamps and two refrigerators...good luck

Yes absolutely! Home Strip Paint and Varnish Remover is the ideal product to refinish furniture. Not only is it safe and easy to use Home Strip is very effective to remove Oil Based Paints with proper set times.

Microsoft's Fresh Paint was the best performing app in my experience. The brush works quite well and realistically, like oil painting. It is fun. Good luck.

I painted an unfurnished large bonus room with a little over two gallons of good paint and I was painting over very bright colors. We also painted a metal futon frame with good results. It did a heck of a job. For the price paid and the backache saved it was well worth it!

I only used it for painting the underside of my truck and exhaust. I no longer have the can. Sorry. I would read to see if it can be used on indoor furniture, for instance, to determine if it is indoor friendly.I think other types of spray paint would be more appropriate.

Not really sure, but I'd imagine if you had the right kind of paint, you probably could...seems like you can paint anything these days. Seems like the crafty websites love to use spray paint for a lot of old furniture, but I don't know if you need a primer (this is assuming you're looking to paint the entire unit). Maybe Better Homes and Gardens, or some other DIY site may have some insight on painting particle board furniture. If you're actually only looking to paint designs on the piece, you might consider painting a little spot on the inside of the unit, or some other inconspicuous spot, to test it out first before committing.

I have only used it on furniture. You would need a lot of product to do a floor. I would leave that for a professional. Floors usually are sanded to remove varnish.

I think this would be a perfect machine. I got it because it has the stronger motor and should last longer. My old one was pretty but through constant use it only lasted about a year and my neighbor is having the same problem. That's why this time I went with the Pro.
