Anyone have experience painting by spray gun? ( house - interior )

[HAMSTER INSPECTOR]

I need to paint some rooms in my house. the alternatives are by brush and roller or buy a spray gun and spray the paint on. The added expense of a spray gun is off set buy the saving in time and labor.
Anyone here have experience with a sprayer?

If your house is furnished, don't bother with the spray, it'll create a lot of mess. Hardly worth the trouble.

How much "labor" is it going to take to roll a room. The average size room should not take you more than an hour or two.

And you do realize that if you spray you will need to thin the latex, which means more coats of paint.

If you really don't want to do it then hire someone to paint. Use the money you would have spent on spray equipment to pay for it.

This an electric spray gun? If air, would need a good compressor. All the professional painters I've seen use a paint roller.

I would only recommend spray guns for primer.

Hire a painter as they are affordable and well worth it.

I've painted rooms with rollers and brush. I doesn't take too long to tape up the room and the room and manually paint it. The second coat goes on even faster. USe a paint with primer in one that some of the big companies offer. Saves a step.
