Brew....IF you use the right nozzle, the overspray is almost non-existant. I have 4 or 5 nozzles for my set up and can almost spray a dime with no spray over. Using the right nozzle and right pressure setting adjustment, and you have a fairly nice set up. I don't have his exact, but I do have a Wagner Pro sprayer kit, and love it. If you use the standard nozzle, it can be messy and the open-butterfly pattern is by far the worst.

Yea, that's the last thing I have to do before this place is going on the market. Well, maybe, it's not bad. I've seen them in the past, honestly, they looked like more work. If it's worth it, I may give it a try.

Well, to answer the questions.... overall I am happy with the gun. This was my first go around the block with this thing, so it took a bit to figure it out.... as I am a guy that just brushes over instructions. I just played around with the spray controls in the closet area. Anyway, the bigger of the two sprayers says it can paint straight out of the can. This made it a little textured, which I am OK with. I think it looks kind of cool. I used Valspar paint... and it is pretty thick stuff (thicker than the Olympic I usually use). Haven't used the little gun yet though. I need to go get some ceiling paint, but I am considering just rolling the ceiling because of my rotator cuff issues.

AK, do you thin the paint out on your sprayer?

EDIT: Forgot to say, I did not use the optional nozzle yet.

So does your reply suggest you don't have over spray as well ? That's my main concern anyway.

Only if I'm doing spot repairs do I thin the paint. Water based, so easy thinning. I also found the Valspar to be quite thick. Even with the Pro model, it's hard to get a decent coverage without thinning it a little. I added about 2 cups to a gallon and it sprayed quite a bit better. A lot less spatter.

It does over spray, yes. I wound up stopping for a minute and putting another stripe of tape around (total of 2 inches) and that worked out. From what I've read though.... if you're worried about over spray, I needed to use my other sprayer. The kit is a universal deal that is meant to spray stain and all that jazz.... which it will be doing shortly, LOL. I'm painting this place up!

Looks clean white, - I might of added molding to the bottom of the , what is that wainscoting. For a more finished look. Not quarter round but something a little a more I guess, I'd have to think about it. I'd match the faucet handles and ***** with the toilet or vice versa. But I'm a perfectionist lol. Looks nice, clean lines.

Brew, I'd do all that too if I weren't moving, LOL. It drives me nuts. I'm a damn virgo, and I need things just so. But... I'm also a tight wad, and that part of me is winning right now.

Jbrew

Yep, doesn't matter then. I'm so cheap I'm taking my good door ***** with me.


I'm a Taurus, probably could of guessed that ehh.

LOL... I was telling my Wife, I've almost got the whole house converted to LED. I want to go get all of them cheap-o bulbs and swap them all out. Plus I've installed a couple LED (nightlight) receptacles that light up walkways.... no need leaving those behind, right? LOL
