I am considering spray painting some rooms instead of using a roller

roller and brush.

Why is spray painting not popular? are there any disadvantages that
I've overlooked?

I know there is the original cost of buying the equipment which
makes it more expensive initially. After that it should be much
easier to paint the room?

My father runs a business that does spray painting of large retail
shops (e.g. Argos). When I bought my house he sent his team in and
in a day they had sprayed every wall magnolia and every ceiling gloss
white. No mess around the house, no dust settling, we were able to
go in later that day - slight odour but gone by the next day.

Obviously the colour-scheme isn't for everyone (nor for us) but it
enabled us to at least have a clean/fresh slate before going round
each room decorating over time (we had a 3 month old son when we
bought the house so taking a few weeks to decorate every room
ourselves wasn't practical).

I've had the same thoughts myself in the past, why bother painting
when you can spray. Never got round to learning how or why not yet
though...

Cheers,


Andy

They sprayed your ceilings gloss white? heaven forbid you don't have a
fire.
