Is this sprayer good enough to give a smooth finish on furniture and wood doors? What is the best paint to use that doesn't need to be thinned?

You asked two very good questions. First, is it good enough to give a smooth finish on furniture and wood doors? Absolutely - you can use this with some good surface prep to achieve a flawless finish. What paint to use that doesn't need to be thinned? For a perfect finish, you definitely want to use an oil-based paint of some sort. You WILL need to thin it properly to get a great finish. But don't let that deter you - thinning is very quick and easy using the included paint thinning cup to help measure viscosity. I was nervous about it at first, but found that it's so easy that's is an unremarkable step n the painting process.

I did not keep it long enough to test it on wood doors. I would rent a pro sprayer on jobs that are critical.

For fine furniture I would probably say no although I have never tried it with high quality paint. It may work fine. It works well for furniture like shabby-chic.

Yes it will spray primer. I did not have to thin it at all. I did not use Kilz, I used Zinser 123 with the fine mist application jar. I used 2 coats, but that is just me, I wanted every thing to be covered. Then I used latex paint. I did not need to thin it out but I added Flotrol so the paint would take longer to dry, which makes for a very even application. I used it on a vanity, draws, and doors. I am planning on painting my kitchen cabinets next. It is an extremely good sprayer and I tried several.

It would take at least a pint to get it up to spray nozzle . It has a 25 foot hose. Use the smaller hand held Wagner for your furniture. I painted half my house with the small one.

Yes. Very easy to paint as is real wood, not plastic shlock. Put a couple coats of white paint on mine to match wall and door. Could have left it unpainted as looks very nice the way that it arrives. Kind of a light maple color.

Yes. For all sprayers you need to thin paint. I used this sprayer to do a fence in solid stain and that had to be thinned. It worked great once I got the right viscosity which was easy to accomplish with the provided measurement bucket and viscosity cup. Also, check the paint manufacturer's ratio for thinning which should be on the can.

I have used this on leather furniture and painted door jambs without residue or stickiness.

Yes, it will. The lacquer I haven't tried but the manual claims it can. As for the oil based paint, I sprayed two coats of a brilliant oil in Tuscan red on our front door and it turned out AWESOME (the second time). It is very sensitive to density or viscosity (thinning) but, once you have it right, it looks like powder coat. I'm very pleased with it. Good luck!

It has a very fine almost plastic/laminate like finish. It would be best to ask at your local paint store which product will work best. My recommendation would be to rough the finish up with a fine sandpaper, clean the dust off, then use a good primer before painting it. I have tried painting similar products with an all in one primer/paint and had really poor results (weak adhesion), hence the separate primer suggestion.

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 would not recommend it. When applied to bare wood, it does have a slight amber tint. I have applied over stains and dyes without any issues, but again I would not use it over paint.

I think this would do great for just about any small to medium sized painting project. I'm no expert and I had great results spraying un-thinned latex paint on my furniture project. It made painting quick and easy.

Shirley - All of our products ship in their natural unfinished state, sanded smooth and ready to be used as-is. Many of our customers have had excellent results painting the cabinets themselves, and we recommend using spray paint starting with a coat of primer and 2-3 coats of your preferred finish color. Thank you for your interest in our products!

Yes, I used a semi-transparent deck/fence stain without having to thin it and the sprayer work great.

I own two Wagner paint sprayers, a Wagner Paint Crew and the Flexio 590. I use the Paint crew for larger jobs like my house or fence and the flexio for smaller finer detail things like furniture and doors. If you want to paint your house I'd go for the paint crew. It holds a lot of paint and makes quick for of a large area. I think constantly refilling the 590 would be a pain.

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.

I noticed no discoloration, etc., from using this spray. however, make sure to follow manufacturer recommendations about distance of spray nozzle to whatever you're spraying - it might stain furniture if it drips! great product - you can almost watch the buggies dying as you spray. best of luck!
