One driven by an actual air compressor... Which is an actual paint sprayer... Not one of those hand-held paint pumpers with a power cord and paint reservoir... If you don't want to buy one of your own they are available to be rented while you need them for a project... How thick is the latex paint ? ~~ Evan |

I've sprayed exterior acrylic latex (elastomeric paint) ... Have thin it and strain it. Thick stuff. |

As a pro I had and have a Titan, but rarely used it. |

Airlessco seem to be better in terms of reliability. I think tho they cost a bit more. |
