Does this paint sprayer leave an "orange peel" looking finish? (I am looking to achieve a smooth finish as I want to use it to paint furniture.)

As I stated in my review, I used it on a popcorn ceiling where smooth didn't matter, however, I also sprayed 4" of crown molding at the same time and it was smooth with flat latex.

I did have one door with a slight "orange peel" finish. I had used Zinzer primer on some dark places I was concerned about bleeding thru the white paint. On the other door, I used 'deglosser' and no primer and it came out smooth as glass. I used 3 light coats of Sherwin Williams Door & Trim paint.

No it does not leave an "orange peel" looking finish - but in order to avoid this you need to spray lightly and let one coat dry, then another as needed. If you spray using too much paint per coat or do a second coat when the first is still wet you will risk this problem. Otherwise it is a good product for furniture. :) Very easy to use. Make sure you clean it right after you use it and clean it thoroughly.

No, it's smooth, but you do have to let the paint spray out for a few seconds first to get a smooth finish. I used it to spray furniture too and it was very smooth and even coverage. I used paint that had the primer build right in and it worked GREAT!

I pulled back a corner on ours just to see if I could answer your question. Our wall is semi gloss and the decal has been up for about a year in a sunny California bedroom. It didn't pull the paint off, but it did either lift the sheen off the paint or it left a very very dull residue. If I took the whole thing off, I could probably tell something was there before... good luck!

My painting wasn't as vibrant with the orange color as it is online. Mine doesn't have the orange covering as much as I thought it would. It's partially orange and partial lime. The main color is dark red/burgundy. It's still very beautiful.

I sprayed the liner in about 4 months ago.The spray process went well and the liner looked great.I have since moved into very cold climate and that has not bothered the liner.I have had a few quarter size spots of liner come off when I slid my atv loading ramp into the bed.I have touched those spots up with flat black paint and they look fine now.I may have needed to sand a bit more before spraying in the liner, hard to tell.Be sure to spray in liner with good lighting conditions I have a couple of area on the bed walls that I thought I had covered well, only to discover in the bright sunlight I needed to have sprayed it on a little thickerOverall very pleased with the product, would buy again I sprayed the liner in about 4 months ago.The spray process went well and the liner looked great.I have since moved into very cold climate and that has not bothered the liner.I have had a few quarter size spots of liner come off when I slid my atv loading ramp into the bed.I have touched those spots up with flat black paint and they look fine now.I may have needed to sand a bit more before spraying in the liner, hard to tell.Be sure to spray in liner with good lighting conditions I have a couple of area on the bed walls that I thought I had covered... » Read More I sprayed the liner in about 4 months ago.The spray process went well and the liner looked great.I have since moved into very cold climate and that has not bothered the liner.I have had a few quarter size spots of liner come off when I slid my atv loading ramp into the bed.I have touched those spots up with flat black paint and they look fine now.I may have needed to sand a bit more before spraying in the liner, hard to tell.Be sure to spray in liner with good lighting conditions I have a couple of area on the bed walls that I thought I had covered well, only to discover in the bright sunlight I needed to have sprayed it on a little thickerOverall very pleased with the product, would buy again « Show Less

I purchased the orange colored bottle a few moths ago and I haven't had any trouble with the paint peeling off. I tend to hand wash the bottle in hot water, instead of using a dishwasher, so that may help. Overall, it's a good product. Hope this helps.

Yes, BUT: This is an inexpensive tool in the world of spray painting. You can easily spend a whole lot more. Like almost any tool that I can think of, the results of use depend highly on the skill of the user. I use mine to spray stain on furniture. Not quite sure what you mean by "detailed". You won't be able to paint fine lines, etc. But I can put down a nice coating of stain every time.

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.

Thought the same thing but took a chance. It is not streaky. It has a typical oil rubbed bronze finish.

You will see when you use it that the paint has a very thin consistency. Brush marks should disappear.

ha...funny you should ask. I painted my truck recently. first time turned out perfect. went back to touch it up and screwed it up. painted again and messed it up, however, doesn't look too bad. my mistake was not following the mixing directions on the paint. I followed the directions on the sprayer. I have entire truck with the orange peel effect. I kinda like it. good luck

I painted a car I restored and the paint came out beautiful. To try and compare that and answer your question is difficult. Stain has a much thinner viscosity than automotive paint. What you will need to do is adjust the fan spray pattern as well as the air mixture but it can be easily done with this unit. It is an LVLP and compared to my other guns that are HVLP, LVLP gives a much finer spray with much less overspray which will allow you to have much less loss of material from overspray as well as less orange peal. Make sure your compressor is able to provide about 10 CFM or better and keep your tank pressure as high as possible and adjust it down at the gun with a pressure valve at the gun. Be sure to test the air compressor with an empty gun by holding the trigger and making sure that after several minutes of continuous use, the pressure regulator at the gun can maintain a pressure in the peek of the green zone.

I doubt you'd like the results! The sprayer puts out a rather uneven (for painting) spray and has a limited range of spray patterns which are are simply controlled by the nozzle. I'd recommend an inexpensive paint sprayer. It's also designed to work with a very thin liquid.

It's a form of plastic so it probably will peel eventually. You should inquire in your paint store about a primer and the kind of paint that will adhere best.

No. I would be very surprised to see it peel. The spray drips as you spray. A brush on version may be better

I cannot recommend the sprayer, based on my frustrating experiences, for interior or furniture application where a smooth final finish is desired. That said, it should spray lacquer. Will you be happy with the result, however? There are only two ways to regulate the spray output--the spray tip and the green plastic inlet restrictor. Rent or borrow one for a trial period before you spend a dime on this sprayer. Rose Ann Loop

No. I don't have to thin latex paint. This sprayer is great and has no problems with any paint or stain

This is good but you need to thin the paint with water. You can make the spray a minimum or maximum with knob near the trigger. And you need to clean it super thorough. Other than that it's really good and super conservative with paint
