So following up my last discussion about drywall, the painting on the remodel begins.
I dropped $190 on a Wagner sprayer at Lowes. Originally I was planning on just using it and then selling it on Craigslist for $100, but now that my dad knows I have one I don't think he will allow that because it is so handy.
So far I really like it. Just like any spray application, the key is smooth continuous movement. I keep a roller handy for the occasional thick spot. You have to play around with the flow and air pressure settings to get the spray you want.
where it really shines IMO is the hard to reach spots that you would normally tackle with a paint brush. On the flat open spots it's about as fast as a roller.
It doesn't seem to work well for the ceilings, so I just painted the corners of the wall/ceiling with plans to roll the rest.
I haven't played around with the attachment for detail work, but supposedly someone with a steady hand can paint trim with out even masking.
Clean up is a sort of a pain and needs to be meticulous, so if you are going to use it it makes sense to do as much as possible at once.
Anyways, anyone with thoughts, tips or questions, post away!
