I am going to use a professional paint sprayer (Graco XR&) to paint a
friend's rental house soon. Any tips or tricks to make the job easier,
neater, etc?

For example, there is a big spray shield on a pole with the sprayer
which is used I assume at the ceiling and floor - how do you keep it
clean?

Many thanks for any advice - Jim


big spray shield, You do not keep it clean. You keep cleaning it.

The prep is the most important part. The paint should be well mixed and
strained.
Pressure and the tip inside will be an issue. To much and you will think
your fogging the place. To little and it will be splotchy. My painter uses
a airless inside, he masks off each room with plastic, doors windows, vents,
etc. It takes him longer to set up a room and tear it down by far than it
does to paint it. His crew is 1 painter, 4 helpers. I have a lot of plastic
sheeting to get rid of when he is done.
