We have a TH that "needs" painting in every room. We have just completed
the kitchen but there are another 5 rooms plus hall ways plus stair well
plus 1-1/2 baths.

Moreover, we will put "stick on" vinyl tile over under layment. The
"stick on" instructions recommend painting the floor with latex primer.

That's a LOT of painting.

It's starting to make sense to look into getting some seriour
"Professional" equipment.

Have any of you gone this route?

In particular, I was looking at the "pump sprayers" that can (if run "flat
out" put a gallon of paint on the walls/ceiling/whatever every few
minutes.

Has anyone else here gone that way?

What "features" should I look for? What's the minimum about of painting
that can justify the clean up of the equipment. In the past I have
gotten some of that "Weaver" junk but I found that it just don't
completely clean up.

What about maskink, etc? What are the "over spray" issues.

Thank you.

Now, do you know the location of a real paint store in your town? Not Home
Depot, Sears, Wal Mart, etc., but a real paint store? Or, a hardware store
where they know what they're talking about? The answer to this question
will assist people in responding to your questions.- Hide quoted text -

Find out what you really need first, the floors I just put down
require a special latex primer, its liquid. A 5gallon bucket, screen,
pole, roller and sleeve would be just as fast without spraying your
walls and baseboard. My floor required rolling with a floor roller.
