Does this spray latex paint without thinning?

Yes it will spray laytex just fine. My recomendation is to first strain your paint thru a paint strainer (a mesh bag you can get cheaply at a hardware store)first.

I used the sprayer for latex on a ceiling which had high and low grooves like wainscoting. I did 2 coats. The first coat was straight out of the can. The second coat I thinned out slightly with water. Both went on fine. I first started the sprayer in an large empty box to insure that I was getting good flow and dispersion.

YES! This is really a thin paint or stain sprayer! It will spay latex but it seemed faster to just roll it on unfortunately. Well built gun though!

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.

I used it for the first time last night. It recommends 8-22 viscosity which took quite a bit of thinning to get to, but the paint went on great and had a nice smooth finish. Multiple coats is the key.**Update** I painted my front door with it today. I used Behr Premium Plus Latex Exterior paint and it turned out fantastic. I thinned the paint down to 22 viscosity and it worked great. It went on even and smooth with no issues. This is the second time ive ever used a paint sprayer and i am super impressed. It is very easy to clean as well. I did some practice to get my technique down, but once i did, i am painting like a pro. I used it for the first time last night.

Yes but if you are using latex paint recommend a 5% thining with clean water and use 15 to 20 psi to pot and 10 to 15 psi to gun hose. Adjust spray pattern accordingly for pattern.

Most latex paints do not need to be thinned. If so, you should not thin more than 10%, to prevent losing the integrity of the paint. Oil base paints may require some thinning, depending on brand. Stains generally do not need to be thinned.

If it's got the words 'Spray' on the can, then yep. No thinning necessary, but maybe a good stir.

Yes, But you have to use Thinner with the Oil paint for it to spray properly

Latex paint will be too thick, you'll need to thin it out or it will gum up the sprayer.

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.

Yes. It comes with a device (funnel, sort of) that you use to measure the thickness of the paint so that you can thin it to the right consistency for spraying. I haven't used it yet with latex, but have used polyurethane finishes and stains, and it does a superb job with those. The instructions on adjusting the paint mixture that come with the sprayer are very straightforward.

I think the instructions said that you are not supposed to use latex, but I thinned it down with water and it worked awesome. I painted a chair and desk that I built. We used Bear Premium plus latex interior eggshell without a problem. I also had primed the furniture before that with a latex paint.

If you tip the paint canister horizontal, aiming the nozzle at the ceiling you'll quickly run out of paint. It will only work when the canister is full. If you are using latex paint - check out my comments.

Haven't tried it but believe it can could spray most anything. I bought it to spray heavy coatings like latex on the cabinets I make, which it does a great job. I think the only problem you my have, which might not be a problem because I haven't tried thin coatings with this is that it really dumps the product. Again, it has an adjustment for spray volume so that might not be a problem. Just haven't played with it with thin products. Like the gun so far. For stain, which has to be rubbed out anyway, I like the cheap Harbor Freight HVLP gravity feed. Will amazon dare to print that. Good on them if they do.

No you can use latex paint directly from the can without thining. Rafik M. Fawzy

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.

Hello. I've used it over dry painted acrylic surfaces for art, but not on latex.
