Spray is fine for inside if you mind the spray going where you don't
want it. But rollers put up paint pretty fast too, I can do a room in
the time it would take to fool with a sprayer (and masking) on the front
and back ends of a job. The painters I have seen generally use them for
trim, not the flat surfaces, to lay down a smooth finish. Plus,
depending on the sprayer and paint, you need to watch the viscosity of
the paint to get a good spray, some paints are better for spraying than
others and I'm sure that affects the coverage and longevity, etc. The
pros use oil-based paint for trim and tend to use lacquer thinner for
getting a good spray, finish, and a fast dry, which causes lots of other
concerns.
Outside they are no good, you need to work the paint into whatever
you're painting if you want it to hold up. Or spray and back brush after.
A good paint job is all about the preparation anyway, the actual
painting part is a small part of the job.
But, YMMV

Has anybody here used a high pressure sprayer to paint exterior or interior
walls of a house? Just curious. I have some (a LOT) of painting to do, and I
really don't relish the thought of using a roller and brushes.
Well maybe I just want a new toy.
Thoughts?
