[QUOTE="Munkul, post: 7695780, member: 73308"] I used my Wagner 350M on saturday for spraying red oxide oil based paint. - pulled some xylene thinner through to start with, just to make sure the ball valves were good - primed up with paint easily enough after that, pulling from the bottom of a 20l bucket. No thinning down. - The thing is a beast, it's a revelation after using gravity feed spray guns. The rate at which it can put down paint is incredible, and so controllable! - cleaning out again after was a pain, make sure you have 3 spare buckets, around a gallon of solvent as well as usual rags etc. - I used pure xylene thinner as solvent, since i didn't want acetone near the seals. time will tell whether this was a good choice or not. Something started leaking out of one of the pump fittings as I was cleaning, i didn't have time to investigate at the time, hopefully just needing tightened up. It's a high end DIY setup and not a professional one, but it has a metal piston pump and seemed to work great. If it doesn't break down it'll be a great investment. Not worth the hassle for painting less than 5 litres at a time, though! [/QUOTE]
