Would this be a good sprayer for trim? Is the tip fine enough for a smooth finish?

If I was doing trim, get the right size spray nozzle for the project. With a little practice you will find it lays down a smooth coat with no sags.

Yes, but you have to buy the fine tip separately. The one that comes with it is to wide.

Yes, it would - for paint. That's all I can attest to. Just use a cardboard or something similar to work out how much spray is coming out before you start so you're happy with the spray pattern.

Yes I own a paint company and use this on small projects like trim..it is a good little machine

you must paper and tape off surronding areas just as you would as if you used a regular sprayer but it works ell with the fine tip

I don't think this will work for you. The end is threaded. Not a spray tip. It's meant to be piped to a keg.

yes, the high pressure and high volume capability is great. You will need yo go up on the gun flow tip. the one that comes with it is for smaller jobs. Check the paint you are buying and buy the largest tip available

I haven't used the sprayer for this purpose,but I don't see why you can't.Lump free and smooth mix should let you spray.I am considering spraying my block house with a stucco type mix and knocking it down for a stucco finish look.I will try it out first.Good Luck

Not really. The nozzles are not meant for that type of precise work and the pressure would be too high and vary so much as to make control tough. An airbrush is the way to go for you.

This gun is not good for large jobs. It is more for touch up work. That being said, it will handle the paint okay. You will have to thin it and spray many coats to get good coverage. Practice on a piece of old wood or cardboard until you get the spray adjusted and it will do a good job on small projects.

Yes, it should work very well with light oils if you want a spray and not a stream.

Probably not the right tool for what you need. But is a very good spray texture gun.

Definitely not for fine trim sanding-will not reach into small areas and you do not have great control. It also makes a great deal of dust. Best use is for relatively accessible, flat areas. You would want to watch out for grooving caused by holding the sander at too much of an angle or in one place for too long or using too much pressure.

I built kitchen cabinets, book cases and various other furniture, and I had used this sprayer straightly to satin and varnish those furniture. I only use oil base paint with this sprayer and for water base paint, I use my Graco paint sprayer. I set the spray volume to close to minimum to avoid over spray. One additional note, for oil base satin, always wipe out excess satin or even wipe off the entire surface to make the spray even.

That's a complicated question, and I,m going to give a seasoned answerer. It can, but to avoid excessive thinning I have enlarged the nozzle/tip size to approximately 5/64s of an inch using a drill bit. I thin 10% and go from there. Depending it can take as much as 30% thinning for a smooth flow, but over thinning can affect/effect gloss or lack of and coverage. In reality if you are spraying a large area...an airless is advised. I use this gun for small projects, and with proper thinning it works well.Good luck.

I cannot recommend the sprayer, based on my frustrating experiences, for interior or furniture application where a smooth final finish is desired. That said, it should spray lacquer. Will you be happy with the result, however? There are only two ways to regulate the spray output--the spray tip and the green plastic inlet restrictor. Rent or borrow one for a trial period before you spend a dime on this sprayer. Rose Ann Loop

I used the sprayer to paint kitchen cabinet doors with glossy acrylic paint. The sprayer worked very well. Keep the spray head moving quickly to prevent drips. Use multiple coats to build up spray surface.

this is a high pressure sprayer and with any sprayer it is possible to over spray you will have to mask off areas to get crisp lines just like with any other sprayer my unit arrived in good condition with new hoses and spray gun and tip and worked as well as any other sprayer I have used. I have only used this unit indoors so wind was not an issue but it was very controllable and quick. it is as good as any other sprayer on the market

I do use it to scotchgard rugs, it has a pretty fine spray, it is not as adjustable as some but it does the trick quite well for that and for spraying flowers with insect spray.

Yes. It will work with some practice in thinning and spaying (to manufacturer's specs) Most automotive finishes (both 1 & 2 part) are pretty thin when sprayed, and this gun works great for fine finishing. I've sprayed high end lacquer-based paints with it...Even though it's NOT recommended for oil or lacquer-based paints because of the thinners... They melt the seals after a point. And I've just replaced the nozzle portion. But like TiGor also said, automotive finishes (especially 2 part) are the worst for your health, and should be sprayed in controlled environments with air-supplied respirators and suits. So really read the warnings on the paints! Yes.
