One of the reviewers (C. Andre) gave it a 5 star review and said they sprayed it first with a couple of coats of Rust-Oleum 1906830 Lacquer Spray, Clear, 11-Ounce from Amazon. With that tip, I bought it (just received today) and plan to do the same before using. I've found nothing else with these design features, and am hoping to improve on my previous InterDesign Forma tray, InterDesign Forma Kitchen Countertop Sink Organizer for Sponges, Scrubbers, Soap

Having used a lot of diffrent spraye painters before I can say they all have some residual spray but I think this one would work well indoors, just as good as the more expensive models. I used mine to paint my deck and was impressed by how easy it was to use and how easy it was to clean up, I used a water based paint so all I hav to do was run water through it and it was clean. I had more expensive sprayers before which I returned because of poor performance but this unit worked well -Better than expected.

I have had good luck,especially on flatter surfaces. On curves you have to learn how to hold the nozzle so it won't spray all over.

No, the kettle does not have a lacquer coating...it is a beautiful natural copper!

Close as I can tell with a smooth rather than burly grain and medium stain with a light lacquer rather than a high polish finish

Funny you asked today. I used one of these for lacquer thinner and it was always full when stored. It worked well for like 2 months and literally quit today.

hello, even though the name says chemical guys, i would not trust lacquer thinner in this plastic sprayer. lacquer thinner needs to stay hidden inside of its own metal can. it needs to be sealed tightly and placed in a dark area with plenty of ventilation, just in case. not in a plastic bottle...

This is an open ended question. Is the Graco Magnum capable of spraying fine lacquer finishes? Yes. Can it do so at a job site? Depends. The most important thing to have when spraying fine lacquers is a clean room environment, complete with appropriate breathing apparatus. If you have such a 'clean room' at your job site, you are good to go.

NO, this is a one quart sprayer designed for light bodied finishes like lacquer. I use mine to spray cellulose nitrate lacquer to refinish antique radios. It isn't designed for heavy bodied latex paints.

It works great especially for the newer paints. To test it after buying it, I sprayed epoxy primer (1.8mm tip), base color (1.5mm tip), and urethane clear (1.3mm tip). The gun performed flawlessly. I would suggest you keep a cheap gun for the primer and use this for color/clear, so you don't have cross-contamination from the primer. I use a Husky HVLP (about $50) that works great. I would buy this gun again. I use it on classic Corvettes....

I use this product,I have not found a brass lacquer that is rated for exterior use. I have however, used it for exterior purposes. It slows tarnishing though not the ultimate solution for outdoor, it is better than having to re-polish frequently. It does however work quite well for internal use.

yes, I own devilbiss finish line gun and I spray everything. It depends on the tip and the viscosity of the fluid being sprayed for it to lay down nice for a fine finish.

This is an excellent sprayer for home tasks and will do the job well. Some helpful tips: Read the instructions until very familiar with the machine. Remember to remove the sticker on underside of machine, it helps airflow and this is not clearly stated in the instructions. Definitely strain the paint just before application, and definitely use a product like "Floetrol", both will help prevent annoying clogs. Make sure that the ceiling height is sufficient for the 'dryfall' paint overspray to dry...some say 8' clearance while other brands suggest more than 10'. The machine is not designed for extension hoses, and 25' is not enough line sometimes...a wagon or cart to move the machine with you as you apply the paint will save a lot of time that would be wasted on repositioning the machine. And it is better to apply lots of thin coats rather than a solid single coat because the paint will run. (No paint ever covers in a simple single coat). Finally have some buckets of water handy to clean the machine after use...paint will dry really fast an make cleaning difficult if you wait.

It sprays a nice mist. Most others I have tried are gloppy and not uniform. Great product. I have been using it to mount large photos for years.

It is great for close and relatively narrow spraying, which is fine by me. I probably got a good spray for about 6 feet away but that's about it. It lasts for that narrow of a spraying about 200 feet or so. It is so nice that it is continuous without doing any pumping. It is not for the heavy duty spraying but it certainly works great for the small areas.
