I had a louver door to paint and I had no interest in doing this with
a brush. I cut the latex paint 50/50 with water and shot on several

sprayer wouldn't work.
I think you just had it too thick.

My scheme had been to use a sprayer to get the paint in position to
brush. Now I want to try your method!


I did fairly well painting cinder block. I thinned a lot. No more than 30%
paint. Got to go real slow on wood. Block ate it right up.
