Best paint for a paint sprayer?

[Master_cho]

so... just decided to share my thoughts about woodwork paints because i think I've come across questions based on this, when spraying wood, latex paint works well for larger projects, but thinning it a bit helps with smoother coverage. Oil-based and enamel paints are great for furniture and trim, giving a durable, professional finish. Acrylics dry fast and work nicely on smaller pieces. whatever you use, checking the sprayer's specs and adjusting accordingly makes all the difference. What's your go-to?, I'm still open to thoughts and opinions

I use acrylic paint for my wood projects. It dries quickly and looks good on small items.. i adjust my sprayer for a smooth finish. what do you think about acrylics??

Oh, I love this topic, and I totally agree, latex is awesome for big stuff, and thinning it just makes it go on so smoothly. I'm a big fan of oil based for furniture too, the shiny, smooth finish is just chef's kiss for trim and details, acrylics are my go to for smaller projects since they dry so quick, and you can get back to painting right away. I think it really comes down to what vibe you're going for and the piece itself but yeah, sprayer settings are a must, takes some trial and error, but it's worth it for that perfect finish, anyone else have a favorite? would love to hear what everyone else is using

ouuwee, this felt so wholesome
