Can you paint with automotive paint using this wagner model 770?

In theory you could, however the nozzle is not set up for the requirements of a metered amount of paint at a consistant pressure regulated to 40 psi. The paint for autos is expensive and must be applied in a very thin coat to avoid runs with the molecules being broke up specific to 40 to 50 psi regulated. The moisture also must be filtered out with an aut0 paint setup which the wagner does not have The job would not be as smooth and too much paint would be wasted. A typical latex paint has a complete different consistancy than an automotive paint. You can use oil base enamel, but again you must control pressure and be carefull of the nozzle clogging up, and be ready with a reducer fluid to clean the canister and nozzle promptly.

I wouldn't unless you made some serious modifications to the unit. It is too unreliable. If you redesign the output valve you might be able to get away with it. I redesigned the one I have and it works very well now.

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

No I haven't use my compressor for blasting parts before painting..I use my compressor mainly to inflate tires and remove the wheels....

Yes. I think M26, is one of the best around. But just like any other top coat, the paint surface needs to be exceptionally clean and sealed. Otherwise, even the best of top coats can appear dull and lack durability.

Yes you can, I use acrylics all the time for painting models and other things =) I just thin them with water *depending on brand* to get the right consistency so paint will flow out with out spattering.

To answer your question "Yes", this is not a snap together model. You might be able to do without paint but that would be up to how much work you want to put into it. If you are looking for a real nice out come there are after market items such as photo-etch and decals you can buy.

Yes it is. I have had good luck with Wooster paint brushes, although I bought and have used my brush to apply Daddy Van's Wax.

I don't think so, I just use mine for nail guns. Painting takes quite a bit of compressor use, as does an impact gun, etc.

I didn't paint mine but don't see why you can't. Use a semi gloss, it wears better.

Yes. Just make sure that you do not polish the metal. Wrie brush it or a coarse sand paper to take off the surface rust. You will need 2 coats. Pour the first one down and it will appear dull. The second coat will look the color you need. Make sure to wear the gloves and to put something down where you will be painting. This paint will leave it's mark. Good luck.

I guess you can but it comes with a nice polished finish. You would have to sand it all down. But I'm no painter so ask a professional lol It is very nice tho

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

Yes you can, but if the hydroban is applied roughly the paint will show it.

Hello, I use to build model cars (amt) many years ago and I think that it will work.Last year I purchased a large Frog decal from Amazon that the paint could not be in contact with any type of moisture.Well the decal was for the bathroom and would have been in contact with moisture every day.I purchased this lacquer...gave the decal a few lite coats and the Frog remains in perfect condition,paint remains perfect and intact.This spray dries very quickly,just spray the model evenly (as you already know),let it dry,apply 2nd coat.There is a good possibility it may not require a 2nd coat! I Hope that this helps You.

Yes, you can take it to a professional but the cost may be more than $100. I didn't think I could paint it to a high quality finish. I decided using it as is. My car is dark grey and the OEM finish is black.
