is this also suitable for paint mixing?

It probably would be; it comes with a screw-on chuck as well as the illustrated screw-on mixer so you could use a paint mixer in it. Its high speed setting is still a lot slower than the cordless drill I use with a turbo-mixer for 5-gal. buckets of paint, so you may need more time to get a thorough mix.

I don't see why not but the mixing blade it geared more for thicker materials so it isn't ideal.

Is probably not practical for paint....unless you were mixing mass quantities. Putting this in a full container of paint would probably be a mess... but I wouldn't do a mortar job without it

Yes, I believe all of the Dimensions Paintworks painting require some blending...but that's part of the fun...just purchase some empty pots for mixing colors. Have fun!!

Yes, that is what I use and it works fine. Because the bowls are a bit shallow, just make sure that when you are mixing it doesn't slosh out of the bowl.

I would think, not. You would not be able to maintain a constant pressure so spray pattern would be varying. Cleanup would also be a consideration. I know the NAPA store I once worked at could fill aerosol paint cans with your paint code....a bit pricy, but a MUCH simpler solution.

I think this would do great for just about any small to medium sized painting project. I'm no expert and I had great results spraying un-thinned latex paint on my furniture project. It made painting quick and easy.

Yes. Use the fine finish adapter for this and remember to clean it out with paint thinner.

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

Yes, it would - for paint. That's all I can attest to. Just use a cardboard or something similar to work out how much spray is coming out before you start so you're happy with the spray pattern.

I have used it for both. If you will be doing a lot of painting I would suggest buying extra filters, as the fine aerosol mist of the spray paint will clog the filters over time.

my use for this paint has been for detail work in coloring 50 caliber ammunition belts for vintage military aircraft and armored vehicle models.as such, I do not know how it would compare to powder coating on larger items.

the mixing ratio is used to mix paint or thin it you might have a ratio on a finish that says thin with 3 parts finish 1 part thinner than you use that scale so you can see how much to thinner to use for so much finish

Yes, there is paint mixing. Some colors are used out of the pots, but about half of the colors are created by mixing equal parts of 2 colors together.

Sorry I can't help with that. They have several different colors to choose from. I would ask at the paint store if they can mix whatever you want. Must likely they can

Yes, you can use ultimate compound, if necesssary. Sometimes a less abrasive compound or polish is enough, depending on the condition of your paint.

It certainly could be used for this but it is not recommended. I used it to fill and smooth the edge of particle board before painting and the end result was great. The problem with this product in such applications is that it must be mixed and has a short working time. You must also contend with the fumes of this product, as they are not subtle. Ultimately there are a bunch of better products that CAN be used on nail holes that are MUCH more user friendly: Wood puddy, caulking, joint compound, etc.

Yes. All the Dimensions Paintworks series require mixing of some of the colors. The mixture is easy because the required shade is a 50/50 miix, so it's not at all difficult.

Sorry, I sent it back since I wanted something to blow out parts, etc.; however, that said, from what I saw of the item, it was well made and perfectly suited for the purpose of using with paint, solvents, so I would say it would probably work painting small areas.
