Is it worth it to get a paint sprayer?

Question

We are painting the interior of our house. Is it worth it to get a pain sprayer or are good ol' paint rollers better?

Answer 1

I would use the rollers and brushes....You get a more even cover..No runs...

Answer 2

you still have to back roll the sprayed on paint so I would just roll it out plus there isn't as much clean up

Answer 3

if your just going to do the inside of your home and nothing else , I wouldn't be spending a 1000 bucks on a sprayer....u can rent a sprayer, but lots of masking is needed when spraying.....sounds like u don't know much on painting so stick to the brush and roller

Answer 4

yes go ahead buy one , the cheapest  one ive found is at lowes, for $295   great home diy sprayer. im sure you will love it ,   as you can spray paint your shed, the out side of you house, etc .    i can spray a house in about  6 hours

  3 bed house , but i allways back roll..

  here what i suggest you do, is plan it well.   tape off every thing , with blue  painter tape.    if you dont want your sofa painted  cover it ..... and anything else for that matter  lol

     all it takes is planning .......  

  spray walls  first , . as you walk out the room you can do the ceilings.   you can allways cut the walls  back in , the next day

  and you can thin out you paint  a little save more money

   ratio  per gallon about  1  quart of water  per gallon .

   and  two light coats are better than one big heavy coat

Answer 5

Unless the house is empty and you are spraying everything the same color, then go for the roller and brush method.

You will have to mask everything you don't want to get paint on if you spray.

You can rent a sprayer.
