I do!
If I had it to do again I would not purchase a Wagner though.
What's the problem?
Shootin' Buddy
Take the Painter out of the box.
Read the instruction manual thoroughly.
Gently place the unit inside your trashbin.
Forget it ever existed.
I have not bought one yet. I need to paint the house, that's the problem, and I am totally not gonna use a brush.
Rent a devilbiss of the type that have a hose that goes to a bucket. Then buy paint 5 gals at a time. Best way.
Flush it out very well when done. The first time I used mine I didn't (thought I did), and the next time the pump complained its way through a clog. I finally gave mine up, the cleanup time making old-fashioned rollers not seem like so much work after all. You're good with gadgets; it probably won't be a problem for you.
It's been a very long time, all I remember was that the key was to make sure it was really super-duper clean after each use.was
I think there's one in my storage unit in Fishers on Allisonville Rd. :)
I just went to AA Rents and rented a, um, er, paint thing. Probably what Og said, it had a hose and a bucket.
No Lolrus with the bukkit, tho'.
Why not rent a contractor grade power sprayer?
You have a Sunbelt Tool Rental place in Indy. What not dial them up?
Isn't it getting too cold to paint? Spring project?
Shootin' Buddy
Ahh, adventures in housepainting. Like NJT, SB & og, I say from having both, rent an airless, not the Wagner. You "WILL HATE" the Wagner in a very short time of using it to paint a house.
It took much longer to mask than paint my house with my airless. They are pretty simple to use, get 5 gal bucket, take stick, dip into paint, thin till it starts dripping/not running(stream) in 5 sec, then move like the wind because it will go quick. Get Tam to keep bucket filled and help move the ladder. If the actual painting takes longer than 2 hours, I'll be surprised.
The weather has turned on me. I got the West wall (worst one) primed. If I am darn lucky, I'll get some more priming done -- also, I'll pick up some semi-matching paint to slap on the walls visible from the street.
Badly done on my part. :( Early reports called for rain only on Tuesday. Oooooops.
