Hi
I just used my normal compressor bought a loe pressure spray gun and painted the whole house in a day. Spray gun was normal size did have to fill it a few times but wads no hassle cant remember what psi i ran but was low. No overspray just used a stiff piece of carboard for around windows etc. Steve |

yeah!....thanks for that,.....I painted the roof around 4 years ago using wattle solarguard
took me roughly a week using a corrugated roller and 4 inch brush,......I painted the fence and walls with the normal spray gun but vowed never to do it that way again because the solarguard was light tint base it faded I thought about an airless, but $3,000 and up seems a little bit expensive the constant refilling of the standard paintpot up on the roof doesn't appeal to me,......nor the cleanup factor but it's a mongrel job at the best of times I thought the pressure pot with a 50 mtr set of hoses may be the cheaper option then there is the question of price......supercheap auto @ $100 or so.....or quality at $800 I think I'll just go and buy the graco and do it once!
