Greetings!
I'm about to paint a newly finished basement. I have zero experience painting interior surfaces and am not sure what the ideal method would be:
- Automotive sprayer and compressor. I have these already and know how to use them. It is not an HVLP set up. The paint would have to be thinned.
- Homeowner grade paint sprayer: I picked up one of those Wagner "Power Painter Pro" paint guns from HD last weekend. From looking around news archives, it doesn't seem like too many users are happy with these.
- Roller and brush: Even most professional jobs I've seen show brush and roller marks, which I don't like. And then there's no excuse to buy a new tool.
All the rooms are empty, there's no flooring yet, and masking shouldn't be too difficult. I'll have to paint ceilings and several doors. I'm in no hurry, just want nice results.
Any opinions or advice?
Thanks!
