can this sprayer be used with textured paint?

no. It can't. It is the wing set up. You can not you this for textured paint at all.

That is a question for your paint store. They should know their product line and help you gather information to make informed decisions.

no this does not require a texture sprayer. This works with any standard compressor that can provide 30-40 PSI of pressure.

I have never tried heavy texture paint but my guess is the filters would clog and make it difficult to keep painting without frequent cleaning of the gun & pick up filters. Also, the pickup filter that goes in the paint can would likely not allow the texture to get to the pump or the gun.

The texture can be adjusted some by increasing the psi but a smooth finish might not be feasible. Much like spraying drywall texture out of a hopper, higher pressure, finer particles, lower pressure, more "blobby" texture. I recently applied it to my Vw van along the lower 16" and it is working out very well. Surprisingly it cleans very easily due to the slick finish as well. Great product.

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.

The answers is yes BUT. I bought this sprayer to paint the vertical walls of a garage and what ever mistakes I made did not show up. I did not paint the ceiling with this sprayer, but I could have. The areas I sprayed did well. The tube inside the container has to be in a position to use up the paint or it is many trips up & down the ladder. It depends on the size of your project. I am satisfied the with this sprayer for the size of my project. I would have bought a better sprayer for a bigger project.

Yes. I've used it with non delta acrylic paint as well as latex wall paint. Good luck with your project!

This hopper is only for spraying thinned out joint compound "mud" on walls and ceilings for the purpose of adding texture before painting. It would not work for spraying paint or sealer of any kind.

no. A textured paint can not work because the paint is forced inside the roller which then is forced thru the roller to the outside-texture would plug the system up.

All I know is what the company offers as a description..."good for free flowing paints and stains". I do know that it comes with a list of types of paints and how much you need to dilute it to flow freely through the sprayer, but it doesn't say anything specifically about deck paints being okay or not, just deck stain. Not recommended for textured paint. Water based or latex...may require thinning. Oil based primers, varnishes, polyurethane....no thinning required. Hope this helps.

Yes, you can. I had good luck spraying chalk paint. You have to thin the paint. So far I haven't found anything I can't spray with it including primer and polycrylic.

you could, but the spray pattern is not desirable from any of the nozzles supplied. I would use an air brush or some other made for spray painting method. Glen

Yes, it would - for paint. That's all I can attest to. Just use a cardboard or something similar to work out how much spray is coming out before you start so you're happy with the spray pattern.

Yes. For all sprayers you need to thin paint. I used this sprayer to do a fence in solid stain and that had to be thinned. It worked great once I got the right viscosity which was easy to accomplish with the provided measurement bucket and viscosity cup. Also, check the paint manufacturer's ratio for thinning which should be on the can.

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.

As long as the paint reservoir tube can suck paint. Youll have to turn the paint reservoir in a way that gravity wont affect the way paint is sucked up into the sprayer. So if u do this it should work.

Probably not the right tool for what you need. But is a very good spray texture gun.
