I�k a recreational painter and relish painting bicycles and scooters for myself, friends and family.
My last project was restoring an old commercial espresso machine. I am time rich and coin poor when
information technology comes to virtually projects. I usually spray with a cheap harbor freight automotive hvlp guns and spray thinned rustoleum paints
that I purchase from homedpot or osh.

I besides enjoy woodworking and have used my automotive paint equipment to paint and clear coat woodworking projects.
I can lay on a blackness piano finish on cabinets and homebuilt speakers.

Is there a low price way to spray furniture with house paint from HomeDepot, OSH or Lowes?
The oil based rustoleum they carry only comes in white, carmine, black and yellow. Is there a way to
tint the white Rustoleum paint to a plum color? (doesn�t demand to be an exact motorcar color lucifer)

I take picked up a used stained pine table which my wife wants painted a plum color.

I have already primered the woods tabular array with automotive primer and sanded it downwards with 300 grit.
Is it possible to sparse h2o based house pigment and spray it with my existing automotive HVLP gun?

I hate painting with brushes and rollers.

thanks for any advice. I have learned a groovy deal from lurking and reading these forums.

If you're going to prime it, why not apply automotive paint?
Hose paint would need to be thinned down a agglomeration for
a regular HVLP gun.
Nigh apply airless sprayers for that.
Become unmarried stage motorcar pigment and you lot'll have a stronger and bettr end.

Also check with the major paint stores for furniture lacquer.
That'due south real like shooting fish in a barrel to work with
I've just used a clear lacquer on my woodwork, but I know it comes
in white and black, mayhap other colors are bachelor?:cool:

I take sprayed both rustoleum and latex house pigment with a conventional siphon feed gun on several home projects without any trouble. You have to experiment with the reduction and pressure a bit.

At showtime I wasn't sure if the products would concur upwards since they were thinned only they accept. Latex paint on my parents vinyl shutters is over x yrs sometime. They have faded a little (hunter light-green) simply they haven't chaulked or peeled.

practise you lot retrieve if you just thinned with water?
i went to HomeDepot during my luch interruption and they no longer color match paints that
are oil based. I am in california and i suspect its an air quality/environmental
outcome. all of the paints they mix are water based and its says to thin with water.

do you think i can thin to sprayable viscosity with laquer thinner, acetone, mineral spirits or should i thin with water.

from my recollection house paint is very thick.

i might just bite the bullet and visit my automotive pigment store. I am time rich and money poor for this project.

No solvents for latex paints, endeavour either Rustoleum, if they still sell the oil based multifariousness in Southern California,If not they may have a water born blazon.
or go to Lowes and check out there Valspar alkyd enamel paits, they tin can exist tinted to a lot of colors. How nearly Zero Rust paint, does it come up in a lot of color choices.
Any of your alkyd eneamels you can sparse with mineral spirits, or automotive enamel reducer, you lot could even add together a hardener for durabiltity.
The ticket is to thin whatever pigment you choose, become the correct air force per unit area for atomization, then become at it.
They even brand some aerososl clears out there for the alkyd paints........

I tried spraying exterior business firm pigment (latex) w/ a borrowed HVLP gravity gun virtually 10 or so years agone. I couldn't make information technology work right. I had decent success with a cheapo conventional syphon feed though-probably had around a ii.0 tip, but I don't recall. I thinned west/ water possibly 25-30%-I didn't measure out advisedly, just added & stirred till it "looked right". Yes, latex house paint is mighty thick until you lot h2o it downwards.

Hither's a wait at the Zero Rust colors. I love this stuff.

Thin Latex paint only with water.I never have had good luck spraying latex paint with ether a HVLP or conventional gun.Latex has to be thinned to much ,then pigment will run.
Get to a paint store not HD or Lowes. and go some oil base enamel tinted to the color you desire.Don't buy automotive paint,why pay there price.a quart of enamel will run effectually 10-fifteen bucks were as automotive volition be, God knows ,what seventy-eighty bucks.

too much h2o ruins latex sooo.....

You can sparse with a product called FLO-TROL, it is a latex additive, instead of water, it thins your paint, just keeps the body of the paint from ' having it's back broken' they have it at Lowes and Dwelling Depot. I have sprayed alot of firm paint out of and hvlp gun, last thing was two new garage door panels. 1.9 tip ,non a super wide fan, considering it still feeds tiresome and crash-land the air force per unit area a few pounds, you can get a finish nicer than an airless if it comes together right.

i went to lowes and although they don't officially tint rustoleum, I convinced
the young paint mixer to requite it a endeavor and i reassured him that I would purchase the paint regardless if the colour mix took or not.

the sales acquaintance took the rustoleum gloss white oil based pigment, opened and placed it under the paint tint dispensor and squirted the tint.

he was concerned that at that place was not plenty room to add tint, but there
was well over iii/4 inch of room.

after shaking in the mixer, it looked like the color chip i provided.

xxx minutes and 9 dollars afterwards, I had what I was looking for, cheap, sprayable oil based pigment in the color my wife was looking for.

I thinned with acetone and sprayed my furniture with my automotive HVLP
gun.

thanks for all your aid and advice.
:cool:

Don't knock your HF spray gun....If it is the 43430 or the new
replacement 66222 it is a decent gun. Non a Devilbiss plus or an Iwata mind yous But, it WILL get the job done. I still use my Royal gun sometimes When I am besides lazy to clean upward and properly care for the expert Guns.
