If used for painting would you recommend an oil separator?

I don't believe this is suitable for that purpose. It's not actually an air compressor, where you have an instant volume of air at the press of a button. It's basically designed to pulsate or pump air into air inflatable devices such as vehicle tires, basketballs, etc. BUT... if you are looking for a FAST vehicle tire inflation pump, this is the ONE to get! I LOVE mine!

I have a 60-gallon. You'll need one that has enough cfm for your tasks so you're stopping painting waiting on air pressure to build back up. I bought mine at Harbor Freight 12 years ago for around $450.

Yes, however it must be thinned with mineral spirits regarding oil paints. Have used it several times with oil and latex paints. Works ok but I wish I had gone with the more expensive model from rockler.

Yes. This is a dry lubricant that will need to be removed prior to painting.

Yes, but wouldn't be my first choice. There's several folding easels on the market that would work better for painting.

It should do a fair to good job on "loose" peeling paint without damaging the undersurface. Will need to make sure that you use the correct tip.

I don't know anything about what is needed for model painting. However, the unit can be set down to as low as 15 psi output, or as high as 200 psi. I use it primarily for various tires and blowing dust and dirt out of my garage & hangars. I like it because it is really quiet, portable, and well made.

The Wagner Flexio 590 will work and even better if you could find a hose attachment to clamp into a paint can. The bottle is really to small for large jobs and it's tiring having to stop and refill.

Your choice lacquer, or poly. You could probally use tru oil but I have not tried that.

That's exactly what I used it for and it worked great. Be sure to clean off any loose paint or previously applied sealants. Clean the area with alcohol or other cleaner that does not leave a residue.

I own two Wagner paint sprayers, a Wagner Paint Crew and the Flexio 590. I use the Paint crew for larger jobs like my house or fence and the flexio for smaller finer detail things like furniture and doors. If you want to paint your house I'd go for the paint crew. It holds a lot of paint and makes quick for of a large area. I think constantly refilling the 590 would be a pain.

We used it with a paint sprayer. If you use a brush, use a good brush as you don't want brush marks.

Hi Taher, yes it can. It's just harder to clean when oil paint is used-you made need to add paint thinner before use.

If you are planning on using it on painted walls, cabinets, I would not dally on one spot for too long. It may harm the paint. It will get the tobacco stains off walls and cabinets but so will a spic n span or lysol or Murphy's Oil Soap. It is all work and using either takes about the same amount of time. I do like the steam machine for freshening up carpets cleaning sofa, reclining chairs, mattresses. Use white towels on attachments and scrub, You would not believe the dirt on ones sofa from your pet. We have a Shih tzu, such a little dog, just 10 pounds. So I would imagine it would also remove tobacco odor from those items as well. Good luck If you are planning on using it on painted walls, cabinets, I would not dally on one spot for too long.

I think with some work and practice it would save paint. Did enire house and worked great!

I typically use this in my basement where the walls have flat paint. It leaves an oily stain for a day or two and then goes away. I purchased two cans last year and use it all around the house and still have two half cans left. Don't need a lot, works great.

The panel has a slightly textured surface that I think will hold paint well. Acryic paint might would best since the material is plastic, but I'm planning to use latex.
