Using a paint sprayer isn't always the best option but can be a very fast and productive way to paint or stain. #paint #painting #paintspraying #diy #howto #homeremodeling
I think the reason they recommended priming it with water is because it's easier on the sprayer while sucking up paint since water isn't as thick. You can always use your best judgement but priming with paint could potentially burn out the pump in the sprayer. I don't know what situation you're in as far as painting but if it's just a small amount it might not be worth the set up and clean up to use a sprayer and using a different painting method might be better.
