Thinking ahead to when we move house, we're considering a bit of a project home, so lots of renovation required. My missus is complaining that she hasn't been very involved in the renovation work we've done in our current home. She has some minor strength/mobility issues due to a stroke many years ago, which means she's sloooooow at painting, etc. I usually get sick or watching/waiting and take over, doing it in a fraction of the time.
I was thinking a spray gun for emulsion work might get her more involved and speed things up. Don't want to spend a fortune, but am wary of getting some tat which isn't up to the job. Was thinking about a compressor and suitable attachment as thing could then go into my man cave, or would Wagner type sprayer be a better bet?
Wagner
Strewth, I actually had to read the entire OP for the subsequent post to make sense. It was a novel experience.
Although I still have a mental image of your wife attacking the house with a fleet of helicopters.
I used one of the £20-£30 ones and they were worse than useless.
The spray was globby and inconsistent - you needed to thin the paint down so much to get it to spray that it would then dribble down the wall - Fail.
Have you looked at one of the powered rollers - I can see that might work as even if the paint was supplied unevenly the act of rollering would spread it out. - and it would avoid bending down and back up again to refill roller.
My dad bought one of those powered rollers once, it was bloody terrible and he took it back. Has anyone got any positive experience with £100-200 Wagners?
Nobody ever used a compressor based system?
