I'm wondering if those high volume low pressure paint equipment can be
used for house painting.

I realize the tank only hold a pint, but the work would be a lot
easier, and there is less overspray so the pint would go a lot
farther.

So, would the equipment handle alkyd, acrylic and latex?

Anything is possible, however unless you are using professional
equipment (they are not limited to quarts) you are going to be working a
very long time to do your home.

There is a good reason most professional painters use rollers and
brushes.

As long as you use "Floetrol" to thin the paint, you won't have any
problems. I sprayed exterior Latex.

I just did it, so nobody can tell me otherwise.

Yeah, I agree. Meehan is an idiot who is always telling people to
hire a pro. geez.
