Digger1 Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 I have a 300m2 property to spray from mist coat to final finish. Recommend me a paint sprayer please. Budget £1500. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferdinand Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 I shouldn't think you will need to spend £1500, even for a new one. But I am not *that* up to date. I assume you are talking airless. Mine is a Wagner one which comes on a trolley with a 15m hose. It has happily done more than one house and a 700 sqm gym in an industrial unit, which was of the order of half that price new. But I am going back 4 or 5 years. F Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digger1 Posted November 26, 2022 Author Share Posted November 26, 2022 Budget is upto £1500. Happy to hear recommendations under this price. With my limited research i assume i want airless, and a long hose is a must. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buzz Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 I used one of these https://www.screwfix.com/p/wagner-control-150m-300w-electric-high-efficiency-airless-paint-sprayer-230v/400gt £350 , hose is 7.5m long . Couldn't fault it . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ask because I nearly returned a Wagner airless sprayer - but persisted and eventually got the knack. Maybe because I was used to conventional compressor spray paint kit. Anyway, once I got the hang of it then yes, a great bit of kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelvin Posted November 26, 2022 Share Posted November 26, 2022 It takes practice for sure. One advantage of a self-build is you have plenty of walls to practice on. 😂 Mine is also a Wagner and highly recommended. I bought mine second hand.

Learning how to spray was definitely trial and error 🙃 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digger1 Posted November 26, 2022 Author Share Posted November 26, 2022 Graco or Wagner ? Which is best? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Temp Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 I would only use a washable emulsion for top coat if I was building again. Nothing but Zinsser in bathrooms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
