will it spray automotive enamel paint
2033475
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.

I honestly don't know. I used house paint. That's it. Worked really well. Not too thick tho.

That would be along the lines of what this sprayer was meant for. However, I'd be inclined to believe that it's better suited for traditional enamels such as you could buy in quart cans at a home center. I don't know that I'd want to spray any hot lacquers through it, or anything too exotic such as two part isocyanates or anything else where you'll want to be wearing a 'space suit' and breathing through a supplied air respirator. Now, those could work! But I've never tried it, and I'd want to hear from someone who has before attempting it. Rustoleum or the like, absolutely. Do be sure to properly thin whatever you spray, of course.

yes, with no problem a good quality(Enamel) Spray paint, to get better coverage.

I have Dupli Color paint and it says on the can, Enamel Lacquer. Will it work? Sure sounds like it will.

It will, but it is flimsy and will scrape the paint on any vehicle it is put on. I suggest buying something different.

yes, but I wouldn't recomend. I would use a control spray, which is to be used only with oil base paints.

I don't know because I haven't painted a car. But I remember reading a review that said it did a great job. From my experience using the gun, I would think it would be great. Hope this helps!

It can but if your going to use a airbrush invest in one that has a compressor, the can of air are expensive and this sprayer requires some skill to master, and clean up is a bit of a pain, when using enamel paint..it's better for water based paints

I don't think so. It has no control over the spray pattern. It is for spraying such liquids as WD40 and other chemicals. I would not even attempt to use it for paint.

I am not sure. I have used it to paint the drip pans under my stove burners, but that doesn't get as hot as the oven. Although I did paint a BBQ and it peeled off after a couple of uses. I know they make a product for cars - look into that one.

no,i work with autoair paint....but if you want to spray 1shot paint you'll have to reduce it.....

I haven't sprayed with it, but the owners manual rates it at 2 cfpm @ 90 psi; therefore, I don't think it will work at the rate you stated. I can e-mail a .pdf copy of the owners manual if you wish.

I really don't know the answer to your question. I never considered the possibility of using this product to spray a car engine. My issue was indoors. But I can tell you that I was very disappointed in this product. It didn't work. I ended up having to use traps.

You can use it for automotive paints and pretty much anything that you can spray provided you clean it properly and a stencil, although having nothing to do with an airbrush, can be used with any paint, ink or varnish. Hope that helps you, It's a very sturdy yet delicate tool.

Should be because it blends in with the shades of red dyes in the paint. But try it in a small area first

You should be fine spraying it on plastic. I sprayed my whole car with it actually! I would recommend cleaning the spray surface well, and sanding it with a heavy grit sandpaper to help the product adhere.

Sure. Just make sure you cover everything that you don't want to spray. And then cover still more, because the spray will likely exceed your expectations of where its going to land :) I used this with white latex (thinned) paint in my driveway and managed to get some spray on my car which was parked behind me about 10 feet away. So then I had break out the polishing compound to get that off.

Yes, you can spray it directly on any part of the vehicle except the windows I believe. The directions on the bottle should tell you the specifics.
