Is this good for painting eaves? I wonder how it performs when pointing up. Thanks

I have used it spray finishes on wood pieces. Black and Decker does not recommend using it on heavy based paints, if tried to thin based on their recommendation. then try on a small area. I have not used it poimting up. Good luck

I've never had a problem with this painter. I had to get under a cabinet I'm refinishing and was pointing the sprayer up, it didn't leak or have an issue with residual paint going in different places. I would say however, if you are painting eaves just do it on a day that doesn't have any wind. You know how that can get :)

As long as you keep the bucket full it seems to spray fine at different angles. Its just if you try it while the paint is low the syphon tube doesn't draw correctly.

Good compressor for painting, you can adjust the pressure for different paints. I used mine to prime and paint all the exposed rafters in a catheral ceiling before I put them up. Might need a water separatot to paint cars.

We applied it to a vertical drywall surface and it worked great. We primed the wall first and that was it. We slapped on two thin skim coats of Ardex and called it good.

it's a pretty powerful tool so i would use a fine grade to work on more delicate or precise work. One thing i had a problem with is that the longer pointed attachment oscillates more widely than i thought, so that when you place into a corner, it can easily hit adjoining surfaces. hope that helps

I doubt you'd like the results! The sprayer puts out a rather uneven (for painting) spray and has a limited range of spray patterns which are are simply controlled by the nozzle. I'd recommend an inexpensive paint sprayer. It's also designed to work with a very thin liquid.

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.

yes. i used it to paint stucco walls. it worked good. I had a few spots that I had to use a brush on to get in the grooves of the stucco but overall it did a fine job

Hi Sue, I used it to paint a ceiling and walls. As with any sprayer there is a lot of over-spray so mask and cover floors and any area you don't want "misted". Be sure to wear goggles and respirators for your safety. I started by testing my sprayer by starting painting into a large empty box to be sure it was working properly . After working all of the plastic coverings and rags and whatever went into the box and out with the trash.

This will not work for paint. Paint requires a large amount of air. To do continuous painting you will probably need to go to a gas powered compressor and if it is a one time job I would consider renting one instead of buying a large compressor. Aside from the extra money a large compressor takes more room to store and is louder when it runs this small compressor is great for finish work and small projects stores easily and is easy to lift and move around.

I have one and have used it on many projects around the house with no issues, I have not used it professionally or commercially, but so far it has handled all my home projects with no problem, I am very happy with it!

I used Starbright on a large canvas awning - after power washing the awning and letting it dry - application was with a Wagner Airless spray gun. One gallon treated about 200sf - I soaked the canvas - worked great!

I would think it would be safe to use but it really depends where you're going to have it pointed. As I said in my earlier review it probably isn't strong enough to do what you want anyway but I'm just guessing because of my experience with it and I don't know your plans with it. Just take my advise though and get something more powerful.

I used it on a picture window looking out to the ocean from my living room and it worked fine. Takes some elbow grease but anything that works will do that.

That is why I bought it. It works great especially on "popcorn" ceilings that are impossible to paint with brush or roller. Cleanup is a bother so try to mask off and paint all the ceilings you are going to do at once.

I didn't use it for outdoors. For outdoors I prefer Patio Paint. I really recommend "Patio Paint" for outdoors or Martha Stewart paints.

I used it to paint fence, but the over spray was minimal it may do ceilings.

Definately, that's the only type paint I've used it for so far. I used the gloss finish and it turned out like a fine grand piano finish! I was in a hurry to get it done so I didn't take the time to do much adjustment to the amount of paint it was spraying, just tested it on a large piece of cardboard and it was O.K. but a bit heavy. I went ahead and used it that way and it worked fine but I used a lot of paint, in fact I ran out of the quart I had bought for my small chain link fence project and bought another quart. I now have a grand piano finish on a chain link fence, kind of overkill for the first project with this paint sprayer. I will attempt to paint a house next so I will definately try to adjust the paint volume I spray for that and not overdo it and be wasteful.
