Can I use this sprayer with water base paint

yes you can but make sure to strain and or thin your paint and put light coats on or you will have runs and splaters

Absolutely! Thats ALL I have used it with. I did an indoor room & ceiling, 100% water based including primer like Kilz. No problems, easy clean in yard with hose refills, & final flush with Graco storage flush fluid.

You likely could extend the hose, however the pump inside the sprayer was probably not designed to draw liquid much beyond the length of the provided hose. You're probably further ahead buying or renting a unit where the reservoir and pump are at one end of the hose and the spray nozzle is at the other. An example on Amazon is: Graco Magnum 262805 X7 HiBoy Cart Airless Paint Sprayer

I haven't used the sprayer for this purpose,but I don't see why you can't.Lump free and smooth mix should let you spray.I am considering spraying my block house with a stucco type mix and knocking it down for a stucco finish look.I will try it out first.Good Luck

Hi Sierra,I use latex paint all the time with the sprayer and it works fine. It has some features specifically for the latex paint that make it so it does not clog. It's by far the best paint sprayer I've ever used. Good luck!

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

No, It wont work for paint job. Usually paint sprayer are set at lower psi than nailers but even with that on your favor this compressor will not keep up with the supply needed for paint sprayer.

Yes, however it must be thinned with mineral spirits regarding oil paints. Have used it several times with oil and latex paints. Works ok but I wish I had gone with the more expensive model from rockler.

I believe the sprayer only works with most liquid chemicals. The instructions tell you to pump the sprayer 30 times for maximum spraying.

I would not suggest it since it is water based. Paint may chip or flake off over time. I would use an enamel for metal, or silver rustoleum spray paint.

Even regular exterior and interior house paints are better "boxed", that is, thinned with 1 gallon of water per 5 gallons of paint when using sprayers. This sprayer does a perfect job with that technique. We don't believe there is a sprayer that would perform well with thick texture paints. Hope this helps.

Yes, but... the glue is water based. You should use alkyd base paints only.

That I'm not sure. I only used it to paint with a sprayer in my garage. I would try contacting the manufacturer so you would know for sure. Sorry I couldn't help more.

Not designed for paint... matter of fact, the manual expressly advises to avoid using paint in system as it will clog the pump and nozzle. Buy a real paint sprayer.

Absolutely. This sprayer can spray latex paint which is much harder to spray than poly. No worries. - Gleem Paint

Yes. But you MUST follow the directions for cleaning afterwards. LOTS of water thru the unit, use the solution that comes with it and remove and clean every part that is removable and clean those as well. This sprayer is a great time saver and will last and last if cared for properly. Any paint left will dry up, become impossible to clean and you will have ruined it. We have even used deck stain. Can't say it enough - clean clean clean. And as another person said - proper tip. Also very powerful sprayer so use caution as it can literally slice through skin.

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

As I use lots of water to clean the machine with I'm siding with the other people that have answered the question to stay away from non water based paint. If you're thinking of thin lacquers or varnishes a regular spray gun would be better suited for that work.
