Anyone have experience with this? Lows has a $50 latex paint sprayer,
and I have an old wagner electric sprayer. I would be doing latex
drywall primer followed by latex semi gloss (or maybe less gloss). I
think there is an attachment for the Wagner that points up for doing
ceilings, with the air gun I suppose I'd have to keep it fairly full
doing the ceiling. Any real life experience out there?
My luck with the wagners has not been good. They make a nice job when
they work, but I've had them "jam up". If not on the first job, on the
second or third.

Overspray with an air sprayer can be an issue - I'd only use a HVLP
type sprayer

Well thanks for all the replies, I suppose there is a good reason why that
Wagner hasn't come out of the box in years. Time to toss it and make more
room on the shelf.

I'll check into renting an airless.

I would just roll it..Even if you spray it you should have/hire a helper to
roll behind you especially for a first time rookies as you will have runs
and holidays..No offense...Covering the floor , windows , doors ect. negates
any time savings and you will use more paint spraying it....In a nutshell it
will cost you more and take longer to spray it...The ONLY time I spray is
when I have a whole house to prime and then I roll the finish coats of
paint..All the other pros I know do it that way as well...HTH...
