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 |

2 gallon pots with an air compressor, known as convential spray, are no good for painting the inside of a house. They are used for furniture finish work and auto painting. You need an airless or just roll it on. Even house painters who spray latex on drywall still follow it with a roller. Your wagner will still give over sray and runs. I do not recommend spraying latex. Get an 18" roller and pan and go to town.
