I occasionally need to paint furniture pieces. Could I use this sprayer with small containers of paint, or do I have to use with gallon paint cans?

It would take at least a pint to get it up to spray nozzle . It has a 25 foot hose. Use the smaller hand held Wagner for your furniture. I painted half my house with the small one.

What I did when I didn't need a gallon of paint, I put the paint in a bucket and used it that way. Worked fine.

All i can say is its probably not practical to use small cans every time i used this machine i would have about an inch or two of stain left. The screen on the end of suction line is long if it came with an optional flat suction line which mine didnt it might work but not for less than quarts. the machine actually sucks up a lot of stain or paint which ever u are using to prime its self. Plus its a pretty long process to clean in between colors good luck

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.

This model can be used with either 1gallon or 5 gallon buckets...I wouldn't recommend any can size smaller than a 1 gallon.

I Would have to say No. The sprayer itself is plastic. This item is a POS. Tried many thing to get it to work to no avail. Paint just comes out in any pattern it feels like.

No. I bought my paint by the 5 gallon bucket and had to pour it into the unit each time. I did see a hose and clip assembly online (gleempaint dot com - part 0514128) that might be adapted for this model if you are handy but overall I didn't think it was worth the trouble or extra cost and just opted to pour my paint into the 1 gallon container.

I would not waste my time with this Paint Sprayer. I found the paint or stain has to be so thin it becomes all most useless.

only used to paint walls and ceilings - but if I had to I think it would be very easy. No downside to what this little painter can do. Actually would be easier to paint furniture than ceilings and walls because of the repeat filling of the canister.

If the plastic paint container is the same size as a regular paint can, then yes it will work. It will work with any container with a little ingenuity. It is designed to work with a standard one gallon paint can, but if you can get the suction hose into the paint container and secure it so it will not tip over (duct tape) it works.The only negative comment I have about the Power Roller is cleanup. If you are painting a small area or using more than one color, I would not recommend the Power Roller - too much time spent cleaning the machine.

Hi, no you cannot use it as a spray like furniture polish. Its a tiny little nozzle that you spray into the small canister by pressing down. So that is the only way it can be emptied.

Indont see why not. I have a larger area to spray so mix up a gallon at a time, but a smaller batch would be no problem. The stuff works great,too.

I painted a house with latex house paint and it did fine. I used a half cup of water per canister because the paint was not penetrating the shake shingle siding. But the first canister was used unthined and it worked well.Ron

I used the sprayer for latex on a ceiling which had high and low grooves like wainscoting. I did 2 coats. The first coat was straight out of the can. The second coat I thinned out slightly with water. Both went on fine. I first started the sprayer in an large empty box to insure that I was getting good flow and dispersion.

looking at the picture of the paashe h I'd say yes. I put different colors in 10 bottles and only use it maybe once a week Just shake it up or stir it before use and to help keep my air gun clean between paints I use thinner to make sure all paint is gone, you can use water but I found paint stayed behind sometimes.

I cannot recommend the sprayer, based on my frustrating experiences, for interior or furniture application where a smooth final finish is desired. That said, it should spray lacquer. Will you be happy with the result, however? There are only two ways to regulate the spray output--the spray tip and the green plastic inlet restrictor. Rent or borrow one for a trial period before you spend a dime on this sprayer. Rose Ann Loop

That I'm not sure. I only used it to paint with a sprayer in my garage. I would try contacting the manufacturer so you would know for sure. Sorry I couldn't help more.

I think this would do great for just about any small to medium sized painting project. I'm no expert and I had great results spraying un-thinned latex paint on my furniture project. It made painting quick and easy.

I think you have to use Rust-Oleum brand cans as the spray head is designed to fit in the cart. The good news is there is virtually no wasted paint. We sprayed a grid and used 20-25 cans. They were completely empty.

No. Well... This is a Great solution for fences, (walls,ceilings etc.). I'm concerned about furniture though. For that, technically an HVLP unit would do better. This unit works best on large surfaces, it lacks the finesse needed for painting items w/fine details. However, if you're skilled you can do it with several light coats, and this system wants lots of paint, 2-5 gal buckets. Cleanup is easy but a bit if a pain when doing small jobs, and furniture is small comparatively. So, can it do it. Yes. Would I? No.

Depends on how big the job is. Spray guns use a lot of air. An 8 gallon tank may be too small for constant spraying
