The recent tailgate-paint post reminded me to ask y'all about those airless paint sprayers you can rent.
I have a garage that will soon be empty and I want to use it as my learning curve. I'll do all the usual prep, I have that down pat. I would, however, like a few pointers to get over the newbie screw-ups.
I think it will need 2 coats of primer, probably white Kilz latex primer, given the various surfaces and some various colors already on the walls. I want to use the same white latex semi-gloss we used in the rest of the house on the walls & ceiling after that. (Yeah, the usual is eggshell & flat, but I want scrub-able walls & ceiling.)
My dad has used such a sprayer to get two coats of eggshell or flat on the entirety of the interior walls & ceiling of a 1200sqft house in one day (given previous prep and he didn't care about the carpet that was going to be torn out). I'd like to get the entire garage done in one day, too. I think latex Kilz requires 30 min between coats and the white semi-gloss latex requires 4 hours.
Also, do those polyurethane concrete sealers work well in an airless sprayer?
