What kind of sprayer to use with Behr paint?
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.
What paint sprayer is right for painting shutters?
For painting shutters, a handheld paint sprayer like the Wagner Control Spray or the Graco TrueCoat is ideal, as they offer precision and ease of use for detailed work. Look for a sprayer with adjustable settings for controlling the spray pattern and flow, which helps achieve an even finish. Additionally, consider using a paint sprayer designed for smaller projects, as it will provide better maneuverability and control on intricate surfaces like shutters. Always choose a sprayer compatible with the type of paint you plan to use, such as latex or oil-based.

Always check the manufacturer's guidelines for the specific type of oil recommended for your model to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
What kind of oil to use in a Wagner paint sprayer?
Many airless paint sprayers do use hydraulic oil. Some use a small amount of hydraulic oil to move a diaphragm pump back and forth, while others use several gallons to supply a hydraulic pump that powers a separate paint pump. The advantage of using a pump that uses hydraulics is the spray is much smoother, and can be run at a lower pressure than a mechanical machine that allows the pump to run until the top pressure is built, then allows the pressure to drop to a predetermined lower pressure before the pump is started again. This dead band will cause a fluctuation in pressure that is not seen in hydraulic pumps. At higher pressures, this isn't usually a problem; however, it can make the sprayer unusable at lower pressures.
Can you use a paint sprayer for oil-based rustoleum chain link fence paint?
Yes you can. Either airless or a cup gun with an air compressor will work. Professionals can use electrostatic spraying equipment to reduce overspray.
