Spraying can be done right, Ive done evough of it. But little things like wind can make it unsafe, ex. cars parked even 100 ft away. Done right by a pro it will be fine.

i'm primarily thinking of painting inside the units. Anyone have any experience with particular brands of sprayers. I'm thinking about the ... uh... what was it. I think its the wagner paintcrew, or something like that for about $200. It got good reviews on Amazon.com. Gwen
It depends on how much use it will get, a 200$ sprayer may need repairs at 50 gallons. A 900$ Titan should go 300 gallons. The old storey , you get what you pay for. Cheap is Cheap.
Go with a power roller instead. This doesn't eliminate the need for quality canvas drop cloths.
