I had a cheap little 'airless' paint sprayer bought in France a while

I'm looking for a replacement, requirements (or 'nice to have') as
follows:-

Reasonably priced (i.e not hundreds of pounds, my French one was
40 Euros I think)

Easy to clean with minimal use of liquid as this will be used away
from home (often on a boat) away from bulk washing facilities

It would be *really* nice to have a 'wand' to make it easy to
spray into awkward corners

Either 12 volts or less than 300 watts mains powered so I can tun
it from my 500 watt inverter (copes with 200 watt multi-tool OK).

Any ideas? It's not for super professional finish, more for getting
paint into every nook and cranny.



I have a Earlex electric unit .... works well enough ... fence etc.
wouldn't want to try & paint a car with it

Not sure any airless type is OK for things like cellulose paint. But there
are HVLP types which are - for a lot less than a decent high pressure
setup. And are much easier to store. A decent compressor takes up a lot of
room, and isn't really portable.

I've (OP) bought a Wagner W610, about £70. It has the gun separate
from the blower which I felt was important for me. So far I'm quite
impressed, I'm aimimg to get the gun with a long nozzle for it so I
can fire paint etc. into the nether regions of my boat.
