Your answer is on the can and as answered previously, it can be thinned with mineral spirits.

you must thin it to get it to spray correctly. Use the recommended thinner and be sure to strain it into the sprayer.

You can use a Big Box exterior primer. Roll on with small roller where it will contact.

it would be recommended to sand the rusted areas so you have a clean surface/ roof to ensure seal. However, primer is not absolutely necessary due to nature of the rubberized sealant. KST makes a primer that is meant to take a topcoat though another similar primer could be substituted.

I spray automotive bases and clears using a 1.5mm tip, 2 mm or larger spraying 2K primers since they are quite a bit thicker to allow for high build. Mix up your paint according to manufacturers specs and judge the thickness. If it thicker in consistency then base or clear mixes then I would suggest using the larger 2mm tip. You can lower your air pressure and narrow the spray pattern to help reduce overspray. You can also reduce your spray distance just make sure to apply light coats and allow ample time between coats or you may end up with paint problems such as extended cure time or blushing. There are a host of other problems which may occur to numerous to go into. Also pay close attention to preperation which one of the most important aspects of auto refinishing. The better the prep work the better the final finish. Hope this helps

I would only use as primer on rusty metal surface. I would still use this on the auto dent to get any possible remaining rust. It turns rust in to a hard protective surface, then just paint over. It goes on milky green but turns dark brown when dried.

Rustoleum suggests using there etch system for the system. I choose the seal krete etch and clean at 1:1 ratio. Worked pefectly... just follow directions but change the ratios......and clean clean clean....

I sanded down the old RustOleum paint and used IdeaPaint. IdeaPaint works as designed. I've had it for about 18 months now and it still works great.

I've been using the Can-Gun with cans of Plasti-Dip, which have a larger spray tip than your average spray paint can (the tip is slightly wider than my index finger, whereas most spray cans have tips so small it starts to hurt the tip of your finger). I think the Can-Gun will work for the Rust-Oleum Painter's Touch can just fine.

The paint is really thick. You could test it to see if it works, but I wouldn't recommend thinning it out. The thickness helps cover any flaws on cabinets.

Bring it to any paint store that carries Rust-Oleum, such as Home Depot. That's where I took it. You pick one of the the 'light' color, and they should be able to tint it for a very small fee, if not free. Good luck.

You may have to thin the paint more. This is why I don't recommend this unit. Takes forever to cover most projects.I did my large ceiling with it and between the fumes and the cloud of paint, I'm lucky to have survived it! Not to mention the waste!

If using an oil based paint such as Rustoleum topside paint, oil based Marine Primer for metal would be best. If for some reason you are using Latex paint then Latex primer would be good. You will not get the gloss of topside paint with a Latex though.

I'm compulsive, so I would probably at least sand the edges of the paint. When I used the product, I followed the directions on the can faithfully, and so far the stuff seems amazing. It turned the rust black and I could not tell that rust had been there before.

Ospho will convert surface rust to black. You still need to sand and prime and paint

If you are going to use a very thin product like a stain, it should work fine. However, this sprayer does not handle thicker products well at all. You would have to dilute paint quite a bit to make it function. This sprayer is better suited to a smaller project than a deck. I would invest more money in a better quality sprayer to use it on something of that size. I ultimately returned mine because it did not work well at all, plus the contatiner was cracked so it leaked everywhere.

Easily. Just sand lightly and spray a fog of primer (dark) prior to spraying black. Be careful at the recesses not to let the paint gob up or miss a complete coat. You could even use different pull hardware; perhaps silver. And if you want pulls in a different location, fill in the 2 existing holes with pegs & putty, or just putty with adequate drying time, prior to priming.
