That’s a bulk sprayer, like you would use for large area interior/exterior spraying. I’ve used them for both, and they’re a must-have. When we built our house in Wisconsin I sprayed the whole interior of a 3,000 SF house in about six hours, if that. Did my mother in-law’s house exterior in about three hours (800 SF single story block house) after spending the previous day prepping and masking.
I think what’s being discussed here is one of the smaller sprayers that you might use for small interior areas or maybe spraying doors, for example. I had one of the name brand (Wagner?) ones about 10-12 years ago that literally “flung” the paint and wasn’t happy with it. Maybe they’ve gotten better since then. -D > On Sep 5, 2020, at 4:32 PM, Allan Streib via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> > wrote: > > First time I used a rental store airless sprayer to prime new drywall, I > seemingly instantly put about a gallon of paint into about 10 square > feet.
