Spraying house paint, cheap?
Looking for a cheap way to paint a wood shed without rollers or brushes.
Looking at Harbor Freight's offerings I see this for $20: http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/displayitem.taf?Itemnumber=43760 But when I checked with my local paint shop where I'm buying the paint and I'm told that such a setup is good for oil-based paints but not for latex (which is too "granular", apparently). I looked at the airless sprayers, but $200-500 for a one-time tool is more than I want to spend. Is it true that the above sprayer won't work with latex house paint (a primer/sealer and a flat finish coat)? Other ideas? I have gobs of air pressure and volume available. The appearance of the finish isn't important; I'm the only one who'll see it. Thanks, |
