Paint Sprayer Recommendations?

Buy quality and cry only once. Get a Graco. I have used mine to spraypaint rentals, block walls, cats, all sorts of things. They are awesome, once you understand about airless sprayers, and take the necessary preparations.

Wagners new "Paint Crew". It's friggin awesome. 2 gallon res, 35'hose.

At HD 1/2hp, 35' hose 198 (talk to thecustomer service people at get it knoked down to 178 because that's what the HD website has it for)

At lowes you get a 3/8 hp with a 25" hose for 199.

I have to paint the interior of 2 rental units next week - any recommendations on sprayers available at Home Depot or Lowes? I have used a hand-held HVLP unit, but I keep having to refill the quart canister with thinned paint, so I want a unit that I can dip a fill tube into a 5 gallon pail of latex paint and spray away. Will be using for other rental units in the future also.



Any suggestions? Thanks - Jim



Graco at HD...(might even rent them) Does interior mean ceilings, etc? We just painted two homes, ceilings, walls, door jams, garages, etc..... nothing went unpainted! A great job too. Ensure a proper clean-up of the machine before storage. Use the 5 gallon paint screens to strain the paint.

I agree with Steve. I have had a Graco for over 25 years and have not had one bit of trouble. I bought it as a Sherwin Williams spray painter but it is a Graco and you can get them now at Home Depot.
