You normally do not need to thin oil-based paint prior to spraying through an airless sprayer. If you do thin, do not add more than a pint of thinner per gallon, two ounces per quart.

What kind of sprayer to use with Behr paint?
If you own a compressor, or plan on buying one, you will be looking for a general purpose sprayer that likely has the paint container sitting below the nozzle, since most gravity-fed sprayers (can above the nozzle) are for thin paints and varnishes used in automotive detailing applications. The important thing is to read the specifications for the sprayer to determine if latex paints can be used. Once you have found one or more that state they can be used with latex, ensure that the compressor you will be using has the required scf rating to deliver the latex paint through the sprayer. Some sprayers may require as little as 2 scf @ 40 psi which is something virtually every compressor can deliver while other latex-capable sprayers may require a more powerful compressor. Of course, you will also have to use a thinner in the latex paint regardless of the sprayer you choose. ANSWER: Actually, you can not use a cup gun to spray latex paint with a standard air compressor. The latex paint requires either a high amount of air or high pressure to atomize the paint. This can be done with an HVLP (High Volume Low Pressure) sprayer and gun, a gravity feed gun with a projector set that handles thicker fluids, or an airless paint sprayer that uses a piston or diaphragm to push the paint through a hose, to a gun where the paint will be atomized by a spray tip.

Understanding How To Use A Paint Sprayer?
If you plan to use a paint sprayer on your next paint job, make sure that you completely understand how these tools work. An excellent tip concerning paint sprayers is to consider what sort of tip you are using. You can use a paint sprayer without a tip, but generally, the job will be done in a highly inefficient manner. If you have a large amount of painting to do, use a wider tip, but for smaller areas, using a narrow tip can be a wise decision. You can purchase these tips at your local paint or hardware store.
Can you use paint thinner to thin out paint?
That is what it is made for
Is it possible to design a computer program to operate a paint sprayer to paint a specific design ie a flag?
Absolutely. But first you have to design a computer-controlled sprayer. After that, the programming, or software, will be easy. Perhaps you could adapt or use a robotic sprayer similar to what the automakers and others use to paint cars and manufactured equipment. If you do that, the NC (numerically controlled) software programming environment already exists.
How the paint sprayer work?
It is a pump. An airless sprayer takes the paint and compresses it (or tries to compress it) so that it comes out of the spray tip at a very high pressure. There are a couple different types. One is a diaphragm type, the other is a piston type. A C.A.P. or HVLP sprayer are different than the airless. They use air pressure to pull the paint out of a receptacle and atomize or disperse the paint with the air.
