Default Paint sprayer recommendations

Norminn,

Sounds like a great gadget. Just checked the HD and Lowes websites;
neither shows the Preval. Amazingly, the Preval site doesn't say where
to buy it, but googling around suggests auto or boat stores.

Newsgroups give mixed reviews. Preval's site is too big on hype, and
lacks an FAQ section that typically answers the nitty-gritty details.

After experimenting with a brush, I find I really do need two coats to
get a nice finish of the desired color. The shutters are about 18" x
51", so Preval or brush, I got my work cut out for me.

Thanks for the great lead.

I first heard about them when I did some "wishful thinking" out loud at
the Ben Moore store. "I wish I had a can to spray my own paint
with"..clerk said there was such a thing, so I found one at HD. I have
gotten them at other Ben Moore stores. I painted my old range hood with
one, metal primer and enamel, and it looks terrific. Air refills don't
go a real long way, but I have reused them for different projects...just
empty the bottle and wash it out. I'm always messing with some project,
latest being a nice oak dresser a neighbor dumped at the curb...brass
locks on all of the drawers )
