We have just purchased a home. Every room needs to be repainted. Any advice if a paint sprayer would be a good investment and if you have a preference? Thank you.
We are in the process of painting every room (3 floors total - UGH). We spent $250 at Lowe's and bought a Graco 0.375-HP Stationary Airless Paint sprayer (model 257025). Worth EVERY stinking penny we paid. Prior to this, we had a Graco HVLP hand-held sprayer that wasn't worth the proverbial "plug nickel".
I bought the extension "wand" for our Airless sprayer (we have 9 foot ceilings - otherwise I do NOT recommend it). Bought a smaller tip that sprays 6" wide.... it is MUCH easier for me to control the smaller spray pattern. Maybe by the time I hit floor #3 in painting I'll be using the wider tip that comes with the unit! lol Oh, I use the wide tip NOW when I'm applying the primer - NOT the main colors.
Have you every used a paint sprayer? If not, do some research! Most everyone "pro" advises "back-rolling" as you spray (YouTube videos about this too).
