I bought it at HD, I think it was under $200, if not just a little over. Worked great for me. It also converted to an HVLP sprayer for finer finish spraying. It used the same tips as Graco, so they were readily available if needed. Graco seems to be the brand pros use, but you'd have to go used there I think. For interior work, personally I'd stick with a roller and brush. Probably a lot more taping off, covering up, etc. The only place I see pro painters use spray inside is in new construction where they can let the spray fly for the most part, eg no doors on, no flooring, etc. I would think a roller might give better results in terms of covering, minimizing defects, etc too. Even for outside on cedar siding, it worked fine for me, I used the sprayer to lay the paint down quickly, then back brushed it. But not sure I'd do it that way again. One advantage it does blow the paint into crevices, the rough spots of the grain, etc. |
