can you use this for spraying decking paint

I used it for fence stain, so I never had it pointed down but I assume with the right consistency of stain it will do a good job.

I did large deck, fence, and gazebo around my pool. Almost 20 gallons of semi-transparent stain with a rather thick consistency. Worked fine. Easy to fill also. Must clean it well between applications. You do use more stain sprayng that brushing but much faster.

As long as it is not too thick, test viscosity as instructed in the manual. It is pretty easy to paint a deck with a roller on a long handle also.

Paint or stain? Paint, yes... But it should be thinned a little bit. Stain, yes... But, again, it should be thinned if you are talking about a solid color stain. Using a semi-transparent or translucent oil-base product you could probably shoot it without thinning. Either way you go, you will probably still want. Whizz type of roller to back roll the sprayed portions so there are not any runs.

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.

According to the instructions u can use a paint spray but I know that I didn't use a spray. I did the old fashion paint roller and the layers of paint was the same as if the additives wasn't in the paint

It depends on what you spraying. If you use natural diatomaceous earth, then yes.

I used this product on a deck made of composite material with similar properties as wood. It's well-suited for the job because it provides a very even pressure so you won't damage the surface.

You can, but it is much better for spraying solvents. If you are looking for a reusable cheap spray gun,then the Preval line, http://store.preval.com/ is much better suited to the task.

Yes, this sprayer can handle light or heavy solids material. Deck stain would be no problem. I have had mine for about one year with no problems.

Yes. Make sure the copper paint is dry. Then use a clear polymer spray sealant that is waterproof and permanent. Spray several coats making sure they dry completely before spraying another coat. Let dry well before handling.

it can spray multiple types of paint but i have never tried to use it to paint cakes/faces. I would think i would work

Yes the sprayer can use any paint that will pass through the testing cup as specified in the instruction notes. I have used a latex house paint and primer with no problem and a deck stain again no prob;em.

Yes, I recommend that you use the widest fan spray setting to start & adjust from there. I've used it on redwood fence boards & it does a great job. I'd guess your deck wood is harder than the redwood. I suggest minimizing the narrow stream nozzle setting from up close as it may damage the wood. You'll have to do some trial & error to figureout ehat works & what doesn't.

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

Yes it will, but this machine is for small jobs, you may want to consider renting an airless sprayer that handles 5 gal buckets for a deck project. The cup is small and would be a big hassle for a medium to large deck.

Yes. But you MUST follow the directions for cleaning afterwards. LOTS of water thru the unit, use the solution that comes with it and remove and clean every part that is removable and clean those as well. This sprayer is a great time saver and will last and last if cared for properly. Any paint left will dry up, become impossible to clean and you will have ruined it. We have even used deck stain. Can't say it enough - clean clean clean. And as another person said - proper tip. Also very powerful sprayer so use caution as it can literally slice through skin.

Don't see why not. For small projects/hobby-painting or limited duration I think it would be great! Again, for industrial/commercial apps, or heavy-duty use on a daily basis, I (personally) would go with more muscle. Never tried it though as I have, and use electric power sprayers for the type of work I do (homeowner-decks, fence, yard ornaments.) A sweet compressor though...that should be effective for limited duty.

You can use any brush made for water based paints. I sprayed it on, with a garden sprayer and then brushed it out to make it more even. It goes on very watery; almost like applying water to the wood. It soaks in well but don't be surprised if there's some runoff. I suggest treating boards before building your project so you can cover all sides. I did mine on plastic so any runoff was reusable for other pieces. This is a great product!

Yes, just about any paint that you can think of can be put through this sprayer. The real real question is "should it be used for house painting." The answer is no and the reason is simple. Tp paint a house, you need a thicker coat of paint and a much larger reservoir than the single quart that this unit offers. This unit is excellent for jobs such as painting patio furniture, a child's wagon, etc. For a house you should look into an airless paint sprayer which pumps a thicker coat of paint through the paint nozzle (and with a wider spray pattern).
