This would be efficient if you want all of the trim the same color and level
of gloss as the walls. Otherwise .....

A cheap way to get lots of paint for rentals is to go to Sears and look or
ask about paint that was custom mixed or returned. Although they all offer a
million custom colors, the bulk of interior paint is from a surprisingly
small range of light colors: off-whites to white to cream. Sears often a
bunch of cans on the lowest shelf for sale at $1 per gallon. If it's not
there, ask the paint manager. He would love to get rid of it. Take all of it
home. When you need to paint an apartment, figure out how much paint you
need, then take that many cans and mix them. You won't really care what
light color it turns out to mix to. You can also save all of the high gloss
to mix for kitchens and baths.

I recently bought a 3-story, 4 bedroom older home that I want to fix up
and
rent out. It has old worn-out wall-to-wall carpets throughout al 3
floors.
My plan is to have the entire interior painted white -- including the
walls,
ceilings, and trim. Then have all of the carpeting removed and re-do the
floors.

My question is, could an experienced painter do this type of job more
quickly and for less money by spray painting instead of traditional brush
and roller painting?

If so, are there any easy ways to find experienced spray painting
companies?
One idea I had was to try asking apartment complexes who they use since I
think many of them have their apartment units spray painted.
