I have just pulled the baseboards and want to repaint them before reinstalling them.Has anyone used a wagner wide shot to paint trim before it is installed? Can you really spray without thinning satin latex. Thanks

Wagner = Crapner
You're being generous. Biggest POS I've ever used. I wouldn't use it to paint someone else's outhouse, much less something in my house.

While the peanut gallery has weighed in on the merits of Wagner (presumably the hand-held model) sprayers I'd not bother with a sprayer in this situation. Just lay the trim flat and side-by-side and roll it out. Spraying's overkill for such a small job, set up and cleanup time outweighs the speed of application.
I've used a Wagner before and IME it will spray flats w/o thinning but not much else.
If you go with the Wagner make sure to thin using that "viscosity measure" stick they provide.
Best,
Marc Wagner has it
I have a Wagner gun. Worst investment I ever made. Makes lots of noise, but does a lousy spray job. Roller or brush is faster, neater, better.
I agree Wagner is junk.
I have a Wagner. It's way too much trouble cleaning up after using. I would roll it on and if necessary, smooth out the uneven places. Lots less trouble than spraying.
I used to work at a big box and for every wagner we sold we got two returned THATS HOW BAD THEY ARE!!!
