can i use this machine to spray paint with

Yes. Works great with my air brush system. This is a handy, well built system, reliable workhorse around the house.

That all depends on the spray gun your using. This compressor puts out 3.8 cfm at 40 psi, guns today can require 3 times that amount of cfm. HVLP guns require higher volumes of air. Older style siphon feed guns, especially a small touch up gun, may be able to be used depending on the tip and air cap configuration. A small airbrush you could use easily. This compressor builds air quickly at its stated rating, but the storage capacity is just not adequate for paint spraying. Hope that helps.

Don't see why not. For small projects/hobby-painting or limited duration I think it would be great! Again, for industrial/commercial apps, or heavy-duty use on a daily basis, I (personally) would go with more muscle. Never tried it though as I have, and use electric power sprayers for the type of work I do (homeowner-decks, fence, yard ornaments.) A sweet compressor though...that should be effective for limited duty.

According to the instructions u can use a paint spray but I know that I didn't use a spray. I did the old fashion paint roller and the layers of paint was the same as if the additives wasn't in the paint

yes...I used it for spray painting using oil based semi transparent stain...worked out very well

Oh most definitely this will be ideal for that. Just read up the cleaning section of your manual well so you can have the machine to last for years. I Used mine last weekend to prime then paint an entire plywood roof.

Maureen, depends on which nozzle you use. Start with the widest spray pattern and work down. The machine has worked well for me from washing siding to stripping paint. Steve

You probably could if you find another product that fits the machine. Or else, you would have to spray the area and only use the brush.

Yes, you can. All connections are pretty much universal. I have used two different air brushes with this machine. BTW, for the money I found this machine excellent for the non pro artist and hobbyist. Hope this helps.

you could, but the spray pattern is not desirable from any of the nozzles supplied. I would use an air brush or some other made for spray painting method. Glen

I don't think I would use any of those products with this unit. This unit produces a fine mist with paint when spraying.

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.

I don't think it will work with any type of a spray gun other than an artists airbrush. It has a very low air volume so it's great for a small nail gun but not for a heavy duty nail gun because it can't keep up with the air that's required. It's a great small compressor and is much quieter than the pancake models.

Absolutely, This is a great machine, follow the instructions for painting and make sure you always clean it well in between projects. Once you get used to it you'll be painting a lot of projects with ease. Good luck "happy Painting"

You can paint almost anything with this. But painting a house would take a very long time (an average size house) considering it only has a one quart cup, it won't be the most efficient way to go ( unless you have loads of time and patience, and it's YOUR house). This unit is made for small to medium jobs. They're 2-5 gallon capacity airless paint sprayers available if you want to paint a house

i wouldn't use it for spray painting unless spraying a small area its only 2.8 cfm sprayers use more than that... I use it for nail guns wouldn't use it for high cfm tools like angle grinders, sand blasters, air snips, hvlp or chisels. its a great compressor but still has limitations

I don't think so, I just use mine for nail guns. Painting takes quite a bit of compressor use, as does an impact gun, etc.

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, you can use any type of sprayer. That is exactly why bought this in addition to my compressor for my nail guns. I don't know about recovery rates but I'm sure that with an HVLP gun you could paint a car for example. Probably even with a HPLV gun! However, if you are going to be doing *daily* commercial work, you need to upgrade to a real Heavy Duty machine.
