My $60 paint sprayer made a bigger mess than a roller ever could
Last Saturday I tried using a cheap HVLP sprayer on my living room walls in Austin. Paint came out in thick blobs instead of a fine mist, and I ended up with drips running down every surface. After 20 minutes of frustration, I gave up and grabbed a 9-inch roller from the garage. The roller gave me a smoother finish in half the time, and I didn't have to spend an hour cleaning the sprayer afterwards. Has anyone else had a bad experience with budget paint sprayers?
