I was over the *new* house and painted the ceiling today. Used my 2.5 Gallon pressure sprayer (Like this one) and had a lot of over spray. Anyone use one of these before? I had the regulator on the compressor set to 50Lbs. and the regulator on the pot set at about 20Lbs. Should I up the pot pressue to match the compressor? I'm sure the wife would appreciate me getting some good advice before I have to spend another 2 hours cleaning up latex overspray dust (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif)
Thanks! Mike |

Mike, those airless sprayers at Lowes/Home Depot actually work better for the house spray jobs - esp. the latex based interior & exterior house paints. Just make sure to clean the sprayer & nozzles thoroughly per their intructions.
Overspray will still happen, but you'll find the investment in a few rolls of blue tape & disposable poly drop cloths (light wt. in most areas, a little heavier wt. where you'll walk), & some time to tape up everything & seal the room off from the rest of the house well worth the effort! Keep the outside windows open & mask off out there too, & wear a respirator. Clean-up will then consist of pulling off the poly & tape, so long as you spend the time to thoroughly prep/mask. |
