Default Thick paint and spraying.....

Heavy latex paint with silicone, almost as thick as grease, but it will pour....

so is there a sprayer that can handle it?? or is it unlikely to very chancy experiment??

It will have to be one that is specific for it, or an "airless". The Air Force for a while back in the 90's decided for a minute that we should shoot latex, and we used a suction feed gun built for it. That said, you can rent an airless at places like home depot.

I have a 20 year old Wagner high end professional airless - I have a cedar house and need to paint it maybe every 8 years depending on which side. I JUST did the back today - I was worried as the paint was very thick and the sprayer is old and I had not used it in 8 years. Fired it up, tested it on water - then put the suction tube in the goop. Sure nuff, no problem .... did not even need the pressure dialed up all the way. I bet it would spray your stuff but you need a good one I would do the home depot type rental.
