i don't see why not, just get some rustoleum paint and thin it out with mineral spirits thinner. also when your painting the Wagner paint sprayer usually splatters out at times so just wet sand thoes areas and respray it. it should turn out good, and its a lot cheaper than buying an air compressor and using a regular gun. Try it out and post pics.

good luck

No. Even though it will spray water at up to 3500 psi, it doesn't pump the volume necessary to clean a surface. A pressure washer needs to pump 3 GPM minimum to be effective. (No, those cheap ones at the box stores are not effective) An airless sprayer pumps as little as a quart a minute, a very expensive one will pump up to 2.5 GPM.

Yeah, as long as you don't care what the car looks like. Use a fine finish tip for best results. An HVLP would be better though.

Any home-use paint sprayer I have seen is for Latex paint (water base). Look for a latex paint for metal, use a primer and it should work.

They do not react well to enamels in my opinion. I use mine only for latex and acrylics and have no problems.

Understanding How To Use A Paint Sprayer?

If you plan to use a paint sprayer on your next paint job, make sure that you completely understand how these tools work. An excellent tip concerning paint sprayers is to consider what sort of tip you are using. You can use a paint sprayer without a tip, but generally, the job will be done in a highly inefficient manner. If you have a large amount of painting to do, use a wider tip, but for smaller areas, using a narrow tip can be a wise decision. You can purchase these tips at your local paint or hardware store.

Is it harder to clean an airless paint sprayer with oil based paint?

We used to clean our sprayers with either mineral spirits or water depending on what type of material we were using, and then leave clean spirits in it under a little pressure to keep anything from drying inside. Today much less oil based paint is used and a water based solution is recommended to keep in the machine to maintain it. If you use oil (alkyd) based paint you should still flush with thinner first, and it is more of a pain to correctly use these solvents.
