PaysBasque Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 My husband has got myself volunteered to do a fair bit of painting - round the roof line and the interior of 9 fairly large apartments.He wants to use a spray gun and doesn't mind paying out a fair bit to buy one. Any recomendations on what he should look out for and what to avoid?We've seen one like this http://www.diytools.co.uk/diy/Main/product-2.asp?iProductID=25218for sale in a local DIY store, which doesn't seem too out of order price wise.Thanks, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get the visccosity right and it is easy (and darned quick).You can spray "domestic" paints with a HP spray gun (compressor and gun, as you would a car), but it is alot more difficult and emulsion paint can be quite abrasive.Avoid "airless" sprayers, they are very difficult to use & the results are variable.

Guest CFrost Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 I have an airless spray gun, used it for emulsions / fence painting absolutely fantastic. Paint goes further much quicker . Gave ten 6 x 6 wodden fence panels two coats both sides in about two hours. Cos its airless misting and over spray are limited. Not cheap though bought mine through Ebay Wagner Airless spraygun £300 from kapers 56 lets-paintit Have fun Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave&Olive Posted October 11, 2005 Share Posted October 11, 2005 hi would be great if we could find one of the old ww2 styrup pumps , remember when we were kids used to white wash the old shippen in a day with it, sous couche would go on great with it. dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
