    Mist coat for new plaster / mixed wall preparation?

    Avoid the spray!.. To spray paint effectively youl need an airless and tey are NOT for the faint hearted beleive me..the over spray when spraying mist coat is like a fog! Even a roller can chuck a mist coat all about the place...theres nothing wrong with using a 5 inch wall brush instead...
