Is this an electric paint sprayer worth? or stay with a brush? I have 4 rafters with great porches and railings to paint.Was spray application is well worth the investment power to save time.If so what unit is easy to use with less maintenance and trouble.I hate painting !
We have a Wagner power sprayer pump at work, they run about $ 150 - $ 200, I think. It is really easy to use, but you must be cleaned after each use to keep it working. You must also do a good job of covering things that you do not want paint on (windows, moldings, bushes, etc.) So, setting up and cleaning are a bit long, but the paint will present a fraction of the time Use a brush.
What you want is a buzzer or an electric one, the weekend warrior. Go to Walmart and get a fair sized Wagner, it will save you much time and energy.
Personally, if I were you, I would like to rent an airless ... ... ... ....
My neighbor bought one I tried, so it will save you time, there is no comparison to an airless.
Yes, it is worth the investment if your going to do this work on the foundations of a perminate other wise you can use the sprayer for porches and thats it then it will collect the dust from his good luck to you
