My needs are modest: paint one side (and four edges) of 11 decorative,
louvered, window shutters. With the burgundy red color I'll be using,
there is already a warning that I may have to apply two coats. If the
sprayer requires further thinning of the latex paint, I may have to
apply three coats.

With a brush, each shutter takes 25 minutes to apply one coat. So even
if I don't have to apply a second coat, it's a 5+ hour job.

Thanks,

Ray
