No suction. Some guns, like HVLP guns, require a tight seal on the cup so that the paint can be pulled from the cup. Check the cup gasket and make sure the check valve is installed in the correct direction.
It depends on where you're spraying. If you're spraying outside, away from a power source, the gas sprayer is better. Inside, or near an electrical outlet, the electric sprayer is probably better. Gas sprayers can be built to higher GPM ratings though, so a gas pump might be better if you're running three guns off one sprayer or if your spraying a thick coating

You normally do not need to thin oil-based paint prior to spraying through an airless sprayer. If you do thin, do not add more than a pint of thinner per gallon, two ounces per quart.
brushing does because it goes on in gobs. with a spray painter you can control the amount of paint that goes through the sprayer and actually use an amount considerably less than with brushing
how many watts does it take to run a paint sprayer
Yes you can. Either airless or a cup gun with an air compressor will work. Professionals can use electrostatic spraying equipment to reduce overspray.
You have to have some professional training in the auto body business. It is much more than beating panels and spraying paint,,,,,a WHOLE lot more.
Yes. Spraying paint is faster.
paint sprayer
The sprayer continually sprays globs of paint onto the wall regardless of how diluted the paint is.
If you own a compressor, or plan on buying one, you will be looking for a general purpose sprayer that likely has the paint container sitting below the nozzle, since most gravity-fed sprayers (can above the nozzle) are for thin paints and varnishes used in automotive detailing applications. The important thing is to read the specifications for the sprayer to determine if latex paints can be used. Once you have found one or more that state they can be used with latex, ensure that the compressor you will be using has the required scf rating to deliver the latex paint through the sprayer. Some sprayers may require as little as 2 scf @ 40 psi which is something virtually every compressor can deliver while other latex-capable sprayers may require a more powerful compressor. Of course, you will also have to use a thinner in the latex paint regardless of the sprayer you choose. ANSWER: Actually, you can not use a cup gun to spray latex paint with a standard air compressor. The latex paint requires either a high amount of air or high pressure to atomize the paint. This can be done with an HVLP (High Volume Low Pressure) sprayer and gun, a gravity feed gun with a projector set that handles thicker fluids, or an airless paint sprayer that uses a piston or diaphragm to push the paint through a hose, to a gun where the paint will be atomized by a spray tip.
Since a paint sprayer is a hand held device, no. BUT, If you'll accept an inkjet printer as a paint sprayer ... it's already been done. (outfit called Vue-Tec)
