I been wanting a paint sprayer but I keep hearing if you don't know much about sprayers and paint thickness and stuff like that, not to get one bc "most interior wall paint is too thick for the sprayers and wont leave a nice even coat and will also clog a lot" what would be a good one that hopefully doesn't cost an arm and a leg and what kind of interior wall paint is best to use without having to thin it out? please help, any advice will be gratefully appreciated
I bought a Paint Stick many years ago and painted my hallway and bathroom in about one third the time it would have taken with a conventional roller & paint tray. That includes wash-up time. I still have it but I don't paint very often. It was more than worth the price.
nemo227 My father has been a painting contractor for 40 years. I, myself, have been a painter part/full time for 15 years. So when I say... hhhaaaaannnooooooopppppppeeeeee... I mean it.
I don't like the tooth design, especially being a combined inch / metric tool. Very easy to indent the bolts, especially when tooth don't fit perfect, and they can't for both inch and metric. Once you have such indents on your bolt, conventional wrenches won't fit.
The PaintStick (found only at Lowes in Colorado) is like an apple computer... planned obsolescence. The paint tranfer section will break after a few uses. The plastic it is made of is not paint resistant and will clog internally. The Paint Mate is a better choice, but Home Depot stopped carrying it. And these companies wonder why we shop through Amazon!
I wouldn’t buy the Wagner spray gun. It’s cheap and hard to clean. I bought the HomeRight Super Finish Max. Much better coverage and easier to clean and maintain.
We purchased the Flexio Sprayer. Save your money. This tool is supposed to spray paint directly from the can, no dilution needed. However, it doesn't produce a usable finish due to spattering and horrendous overspray. We adjusted paint volume and air flow in virtually all combinations, along with adjusting the tip and trying various distances from the surface. Fortunately, we tried it on primed test boards in our barn before jacking up our walls. Avoid this one.
@4:50 love the idea of this ladder. But if you use it to paint or drywall it gets in the tracks and the safety and then doesnt close or open properly. Also the top contact point aren't big enough and tend to divot drywall
