Can it be used to paint banisters and windowsills, or will it chip too quickly. Want quick fix for house that I'm going to sell, but at least not leave new owners with a mess to fix. I'm too OCD for that.

I would hesitate to use it on a heavy traffic area. It has been almost a year on my cabinets with no trouble, but this is not so "quick" a fix. It is an inexpensive fix, but labor intensive... if you want it to last.

I am using the polish on an indoor cast iron stove, but if it gets moisture, it still rusts. I think it is more intended to improve the appearance of the stove. Maybe a high temperature paint would be more suitable for outdoors.

Depends on your project. This is oil-based, so it's not like you could use things found in your kitchen cleaning supplies. The good thing is that its glass so its not like you baked it into the ceramic glaze or anything in the oven. A slab of glass or something, this paint should be easy to scrape off. You just want to be gentle not to scratch the glass in the process. Your other option is to use paint remover (you can probably buy this from craft or hardware store - basic idea is that you will need to make sure it is suitable for oil-based paint) and a paper towel/rag. But you should still scrape first because otherwise you may just end up smearing paint. The paint remover will be very strong / toxic, so I just recommend seeing if you can gently scrape this off.

Use a gloss black primer, and then paint *extremely* light coats of chrome, building it up slowly. I find that 2-3 coats works best, and it dries very quickly in between coats. I have looked everywhere for a "manual" or directions, but have not found one, so the info I am giving you is based on my own tests. I tried it many different ways, and only gloss black with light chrome coats gave me the high polish results I was looking for. It should also be sealed if it's going to be even lightly handled, and again the sealing should be done with a very light hand. I would recommend testing on plastic spoons to make sure you have things right before you go to model, as stripping this stuff is a real PITA. Happy Painting!

I think it depends on what kind of paint you have. It didn't work that well when I was trying to strip a sofa table with a very hard, shiny, poyurethaned surface. It did almost nothing for me. It may work better with a more porous surface, like brick. I think I'd probably Google "how to strip paint from brick" and see if there is anything that is recommended. i think some of the strippers out there might damage brick, depending on its age/condition.

It's not designed for that application this is a silicone used in freezers and glass case refrigerators that contain food. I suppose you could use it and don't think it will harm anything but I don't believe its paintable. Why not a latex caulk from Loews its cheaper maybe 3 bucks or so

I used this paint to repair damaged paint in mine. I sanded with 120, 180 and 220 grit sand paper cleaned out very well with paint thinner not to remove paint, but to get rid of sanding dust between each sanding. Feathering edges of the paint where it met the bare metal. Then I sprayed three light coats of the cavity paint. Let dry between each coat. On one I had a little run as my microwave has raised platform when turntable rotates. I lightly sanded and cleaned with thinner after coat was dry. When finished looked very good. Was pleased with results, but think you have to do the prep work (sanding and cleaning) to get good results. Hope this helps. I used this paint to repair damaged paint in mine.

I just now took a scrap & put it in my wall....textured drywall with simi gloss paint..... it came off easier than glass.. don't know how long term would work. I don't think it would damage the wall. I hope this is of some help.

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

In my own personal experience I find it works better if you wait until the paint has cured. I use decoart gloss enamels when I paint on glass.

I use this particular type of krud-kutter to clean/prep before painting. It makes the surface more readily acceptable for paint adhesion. However, this week, I did use it on my high gloss painted white window sills that had gotten terribly dingy and it cleaned those up nicely. I recommend always wearing gloves and only leaving on a minute or so before removing. It's powerful and fast-acting.

Definately, that's the only type paint I've used it for so far. I used the gloss finish and it turned out like a fine grand piano finish! I was in a hurry to get it done so I didn't take the time to do much adjustment to the amount of paint it was spraying, just tested it on a large piece of cardboard and it was O.K. but a bit heavy. I went ahead and used it that way and it worked fine but I used a lot of paint, in fact I ran out of the quart I had bought for my small chain link fence project and bought another quart. I now have a grand piano finish on a chain link fence, kind of overkill for the first project with this paint sprayer. I will attempt to paint a house next so I will definately try to adjust the paint volume I spray for that and not overdo it and be wasteful.

I have been cautious about putting anything hot on it. I've set a mug of hot coffee on it for several minutes with no harm. My biggest concerns are chipping and staining. I've had to fix three chips so far (I painted in July). I wish I had gone with a darker color than white diamond because any time it comes into contact with any coloring (mustard...) it's an instant stain that I can't figure out how to get out.

I haven't done any house painting with this set up. I wouldn't think it to be the best for that use. All house painters I've seen spraying have been using airless outfits. Viscosity of exterior house paint could be a problem. I spray pre-catalyzed lacquer that is much thinner than exterior latex.

Any type of paint or ink! I have a colleague who builds model ships and uses thinned house paint on his hulls! Here's the caveat: the paint must be mixed rather thin (think skim milk) and can't contain coarse pigment. How coarse? Get a few fine strainer funnels from a model tools supplier. If the paint passes easily through the finest mesh funnel it's OK to apply through an airbrush nozzle. Clean-up is a MUST, and acrylics are far easier to clean up. Water and mild detergent or Windex works for almost any routine clean-up job. The seals in your Master airbrush will not react negatively to a mineral spirits solvent but I wouldn't press my luck. This is an inexpensive set (I bought one for my granddaughter) that will work well for you but don't abuse it by leaving volatile spirits in the brush for prolonged peruiods. Good luck!

I only used it for painting the underside of my truck and exhaust. I no longer have the can. Sorry. I would read to see if it can be used on indoor furniture, for instance, to determine if it is indoor friendly.I think other types of spray paint would be more appropriate.

My experience was indoor use. I used it to cover some gaps around an older window frame. This product appears to be nothing more than clear packing tap. I applied it in the fall and when I removed it in the spring, it took off most of the paint around the window frame. Not what I thought was going to happen.
