I didn't add any thinner to mine. I found it sprayed pretty well without it.

Flat black but probably won't match your barrel. I put one on a stainless barrel and one on a standard "black" barrel. Both look fine (looks outstanding on stainless), work great, reasonably priced and shipped fast. Go for it.

You need to remember that it's the paint and not so much the gun that is the issue. It all depends on which type of paint (mainly how thick and how much you'll need to thin it out). The gun works with latex, oil-based, stains, etc., each of which require different conditions. If your paint is very thick (enamel metal paint may be too thick and can't be thinned enough to work). Need to check your paint instructions.

I don't know what would be an acceptable thinner. However, they advertise a spray-on form of the product, so you may want to go to their website.

You can usually dilute latex paint up to 10%, but the risk of sagging increases with the percentage. However, it's best to use a larger nozzle with a product called Floetrol and minimize the water. It is not a replacement for water. It helps the paint flow better and allows you to use less water. How much? Depends on a lot of things but paint temperature and nozzle size are to key factors. For this gravity-fed sprayer, you really should do it at room temperature, with a 1.7 - 2.5-mm nozzle. Add the Floetrol as directed (8-16 oz per gallon). You'll need a larger screen because latex is thick and will clog up regular ones. Then spray from about 6-8 inches away. These are just starting points; you'll need to find out what works best for you.

Yes. It is thin as water. I put it in a 1 quart trigger spray bottle to spot spray so I wouldn't have to mix up so much solution.

I did just that this weekend. I put two thick coats of HNR then used dynamat extreme and it stuck very well. The only advice I could give is... make sure the surface is painted before applying HNR. You will see rust bleed through the next day if you don't. Happy sound deadening!

the only paint i have used that was thick was asphalt aluminum non fibered paint and it worked fine. the only complaint that I have with the sprayer is that i think it was a store display model, it was new but it didn't come with instructions or the original box.

Yes nailer and mini sprayer hvlp guns things that don't need a lot of cfm to run. I mostly use an airbrush and mini sprayer. But nothing that need over 4-5 cfm

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

Hello Irtafa,The type of foam you should use and recommended thickness will depend upon what you're spraying to. What type of area do you need to spray? It may be easiest for me to help over the phone. If you get a chance, please give us a call at 800-516-0949 so we can help you get your project underway. Thanks! LindaFoam It Green

Answer here...I can't say. I only used the video I got from youtube, and it showed a very clean surface, so I tried to get down to the shiny bare metal. I don't know what rust coverter is or how it works, or what it does. sorry. Luckily we had an electric sander, and it worked like a charm, with a low number pad.

30 to 50 PSI-max according to the material you are spraying . and a flow of 8.3 SCFM continuous or 4.3 average .Gun works well . I also purchased that seal maintenance kit

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.

We didn't purchase this for a paint gun but for a SodaStream machine. Sorry I'm not able to answer or help. Good luck.

Do not thin it as it is just right for clinging on metal. Buy the inexpensive sprayer they offer as it does a good job. Also the spray cans with the thin plastic probe nozzle is great for difficult areas or where you want to control the amount and not overspray onto something else.
