With the proper prep work and techniques this spray gun has worked quite well for us. Yes, the paint needs to be very thin.. not quite 'water thin' as one reviewer stated, but definitely thin. On average plan on 4 parts paint to one part water (or whatever thinner you're using).. at least for average latex paint using the CS Double Duty model. I understand with the original (and less powerful) Control Spray it's closer to 2:1. A viscosity tester comes with the painter.. a small funnel type cup that you dip into the paint, and then time how long it takes for the paint to flow out the bottom. There's a chart in the instructions that will tell you what the time should be for various types of paints (oils, varnish, stains).. but mine at least didn't include times for latex paints. Approx 65-70 seconds worked well for us. We... Read more 12 of 12 people found the following review helpful:  I'm happy with it, By Nate B. (NH, USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Wagner 0518050 Control Spray Double Duty Paint Sprayer (Tools & Home Improvement) I bought this sprayer to do some interior doors and a book case. I was a bit skeptical because the reviews are pretty mixed, but I figured I would give it a shot. I also wanted to use latex primer and paint, which this sprayer doesn't claim to work with. I found when spraying that I needed to water down the paint/primer to the point where it drained from the viscosity cup in about 35-40 seconds (the little black cup on a stick that comes with the sprayer). This was about 25% water. I suspect it would work with the paint a little thicker, however I didn't try thicker mixes. When actually spraying, I found that a few spits would occur when you first pulled the trigger and the air turbine spun up. Once this initial small spit, the spray quality seemed fine. I had the flow setting on about 75%. Due to this initial spit, I just started up the sprayer off to the side of the item I was spraying (I think it says to do this in the manual, but I don't...

This is quieter than any other hand held sprayer that I know of. I've used it for a fence and achieved great results. I've sprayed varnish with near professional results. I've sprayed latex. Come on people, any type of sprayer in this size package is not going to spray viscous paint because it cannot generate enough energy to pick up the media. How thick do you think the paint in a spray can is? If you want to spray latex spend the extra hundred and fifty and get a airless sprayer. Then you'll know about mess and clean up. This is a piece of cake. It will not make you a good painter or save you from runs or splatter if you don't have proper technique which is clearly discussed in the directions. Pros: Lightweight, two pots, very fine spray, quiet, easy clean up. Inexpensive. Cons: No matter how light, doing a fence with this, you'll wish you had some device to hold it up at the...
