Hi All

I'm not sure if this is the right place for this post but does anyone know if this paint sprayer is any good or are there better ones for the money?

Dont know if its anygood..but earlex are not exactly a well respected name amoung trade pros its more of a DIY company, its might be ok depends on what you intend to do with it.

It would be to spray paint our house which we are having totally replastered and doors, skirting, etc.

What brands would pros use and what sort of money would we be looking at for the better brands?

Nobody spray paints houses, it would be a complete disaster. Stick to brush and roller until the pros change to something else - then use that something else.

They do on sites these days..a graco 495 or Titan are the popular ones..but they are nt for the fait hearted, you need to really know what you are doing of.

I had a 495 brilliant tool...I could mist a 4 bedroom house walls an ceilings in a couple of hours easy.

Graco 495..and it will set you back about 2 grand!...forget it and do as Joe says..brush and roller.

That earlex thing wont be any good for emulsion whatsoever, it should be ok for spraying water based undercoat and finish paint on the woodwork though.
