Default Sprayer for textured exterior wall paint

Because its quite thick, you do really need a good pressure sprayer though.
I asked the guys that did mine some years ago and they said also if you have
some areas that are down to the render, you really need to get some kind of
primer as well as the plastic does not adhere well to render or itself if
it has dried which is why they like to do it all in one go.

We have opened the ancient barrel of "touch up" textured exterior wall
paint from Wallshield and it is still viable.

Stirring it up with a drill and paint stirrer results in something like
fine porridge.

A quick test shows that it will stipple on and give a reasonable result,
although not like the original spray on finish.

Before we set about hours of laborious stippling does anyone know of a
budget paint sprayer which can handle this stuff?

A quick search turns up sprayers which claim to handle this for under £20
but they require an air compressor to drive them.

HSS want mega bucks per day for a paint sprayer.

Any budget solutions?
