Cheap domestic spray painters

Anyone have any experience with this lower level kit? Don't want it for a great finish ... just for spray painting the fence and perhaps garden shed. http://www.bunnings.co.nz/search/pro...directFrom=Any Just the ones under $100 I'm looking at.

air guns are THE most inefficient way to lay paint.

Go airless if you must. But not for under a hundy. Mate bought an ozito airless from b*nnings, it worked.

Many years ago I had a vast expanse of trellis to paint. Fuck brushing that shit. I found a spray attatchment in the vacuum cleaner bits and used water base paint diluted down a bit...Worked a treat, and quick too.

Wagner is a good brand of home use airless sprayers. I've used the piss out of mine and it is still going strong (the 115 model for less than $200). They are a bit on the disposable side but looking at the prices they are asking in NZ maybe they are worthy fixing then they go wrong. BE VERY PARTICULAR WHEN YOU CLEAN IT IF YOU WANT IT TO STIOLL WORK NEXT TIME AND DON'T FUCKING LEND IT TO ANYONE!!!!!

Wagner has been around forever. Painted fences with one years back. as above clean very well or they block up. Under a 100 - how bad could it be? Need to get the paint diluted correctly too.

I bought a airgun just for that. Screw hand brushing that shit.

The thought of having to get the mix the paint to the right viscosity put me off in the end. I finished up buying a 'semi rough' roller sleeve for $5.90 instead and just did it that way. They are new palings not yet on the fence so I just sat them between two sawhorses and me and Mrs Oakie did 30 1800mm x 150mm palings in under an hour. Easy.
