To dilute paint for a Wagner sprayer, you typically want to aim for a viscosity of around 20-30 seconds when using a viscosity cup. This usually means adding about 10-20% water or a compatible thinner to your paint, but the exact amount can vary based on the type of paint and sprayer model. Always refer to the manufacturer's guidelines for specific recommendations on dilution ratios for optimal performance.
A paint sprayer is used to paint. It is a faster and more efficient way of painting compared to the painting brush. It gives a uniform finish and is much easier to use in tighter places.
Most people choose to paint fiberglass with a sprayer. The paint is sprayed in much the same way that spray paint is.
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.

There are many places one might obtain a Graco paint sprayer. Many retailers sell this product online, including the "Amazon" website. The best option however would be to check at your local home improvement store, such as Home Depot.
You could, but if you have some 100% acrylic solid stain, you would get better results since you wouldn't need to thin it nearly as much as a paint. If you have to use paint, instead of diluting with water, dilute with a latex paint conditioner like Flo-trol as much as possible. Water will break down the binder if used to over thin the paint causing the solids to powder over time. Even better, use fabric dye unless you are trying to achieve a design that requires paint.
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.
An airless sprayer works pretty much like a squirt gun. The paint is pumped by the sprayer through a nozzle where it's broken up into fine, fine droplets. An air paint sprayen hasn't got a pump, it relies on a steady supply of pressurized air to force the paint through a nozzle instead.
Paint sprayers start at around $90 for a handheld, up to several thousand dollars for a high volume commercial sprayer. A good airless sprayer for a single painter that uses it a couple of times a week can be bought for between $700 to $1000. A homeowner would be better served to rent a commercial sprayer.
Depends on your skill level on any piece of equipment. If it's a small job, or you don't paint much, a roller and brush will be the fastest. A commercial paint sprayer, in the hands of a skilled professional who does not need to have an assistant following behind back rolling, is the fastest on large areas. In the hands of an inexperienced or careless painter, a sprayer will often use twice as much paint and cause more troubles than it solves. I wouldn't worry about fast when in a DIY application. Focus on preparation and applying the paint evenly and neatly. in the end, you'll probably save time over trying to get it done fast and the resulting cleanup.
Latex paint typically contains around 50-60% water by volume, which helps to dissolve the pigments and binders. The exact amount can vary based on the specific formulation and desired viscosity of the paint. It's important not to add too much water during application, as this can dilute the paint and affect its performance and finish. Always refer to the manufacturer's guidelines for the best results.
An oil sprayer runs from about $10 to $50 or more depending on what quality you want. There are high end ones that run over $100 if you are looking to spend that much money on one.
