can you use latex paint with this sprayer? I didn't see that listed but see where people were painting furniture? tia

I think the instructions said that you are not supposed to use latex, but I thinned it down with water and it worked awesome. I painted a chair and desk that I built. We used Bear Premium plus latex interior eggshell without a problem. I also had primed the furniture before that with a latex paint.

This is from HomeRights website: Play ButtonFinish Max HVLP Sprayer Video A Finer Finish at Your Fingertips, a fresh coat of sealer, stain, enamel, polyurethane, varnish or paint can make any surface seem like new again.

No you use latex paint as is. try using FLOETROL paint conditioner. It helps to keep the nozzle from clogging.

There is only one "size tip" That this comes with, and it's not interchangeable. It's for spraying medium to thin materials... Lacquers, stains, varnishes. Not Latex house paints. To spray something thicker, you have to buy a different gun. It comes with a viscosity cup to check the material.

I use it out doors. I do not see why it cannot be used in door. There will be a significant amount of overspray as compared to a roller. This spray is great with latex paints

I don't really like it for latex applications. I use mine primarily for polyurethane. You could spray a room in a building as long as you protect against overspray. I think there are better alternatives for that purpose than this device.

I spray high build primer with this gun. U should have no problem with latex

I returned the one I bought because it did not spray latex paint very well. I tried everything that was suggested, basically thinning the paint until it was practically water, and still the paint came out onto the test surfaces splotchy and spotted. I think it works better with oil based stains that are not very thick.

Hello. I've used it over dry painted acrylic surfaces for art, but not on latex.

The Wagner Sprayer is best used to do large areas-walls & ceilings-a whole room at one time. .....A great deal of time is required to thoroughly clean the sprayer.....Since I do furniture refinishing, my best suggestion for you would be to use an HVLP sprayer. You most likely would be able to find a respectable gun and small compressor (if you don't already own one) at a price close to the Wagner.

I would say if it's thicker than latex paint the answer might be no. I see on the Olympic website it says 'do not thin' so that's not a possibility. Remember this is light duty sprayer, not a heavy duty professional tool.

Might be able to use the plastic paint at Lowes or Home Depot in spray cans. I think Krylon makes such a paint. May need a plastic primer first though. Krylon may make this. Not sure.

Yes. Cleaning oil-based primer took forever to clean because you must use mineral spirits and be sure to get every bit of it off the interior parts. Cleaning latex-based primer and paint out of the sprayer with soapy water was much easier but still time-consuming, especially since I tried to get every bit of primer/paint off the outside of the sprayer and pump in case I want to sell it if we ever finish the kitchen-painting project. I am an almost elderly homemaker, amateur painter, and I was able to use it successfully.

Its all about how you clean it after you do the job. Latex paints are easier to work with because they are water based.

generally,no.Latex does not atomize.It just sort of spits out.There are water clean up products called water born alkyds that do spray very well.These would be used for woodwork,cabinets,furniture.Not walls.

This should work with paint, but the paint needs to be diluted. I used my to paint wood panelled walls with white latex paint and it worked wonderfully. It takes a few tries to figure out the best dilution. I also found that I needed to keep qtips handy to clean the nozzle every once in a while.

Yes. I painted my oak kitchen cabinets white and they look like they came from the factory that way. After deglossing, I used the sprayer to apply 2 coats of Bullseye 123 primer. Then I applied 2 coats of latex.

According to the instructions u can use a paint spray but I know that I didn't use a spray. I did the old fashion paint roller and the layers of paint was the same as if the additives wasn't in the paint
