I own and use airless sprayers, have two of them. I've done both interior and exterior painting with them to great success.
Like any painting, skill improves with use. The airless machine puts out paint at about 1700 psi at the nozzle, DO NOT put a body part in front of nozzle.. wear eye protection. Recently, I had a project that required painting and I was in the city, sprayers were both at the Ranch, so I rented one from Home Depot for 4 hrs. It cost less than the fuel used to drive the 220 mile round trip to get my own. The rental sprayer had a feature I liked very much.. It allowed you to adjust the delivery pressure at the spray tip from as low as 400 psi to a high of 1,800 psi. I found this feature very handy for painting trim and smooth surfaces where I needed to control possible overspray. The bulk of the job was stucco finish which is very rough and very hard to paint with roller or brush.. easy with the airless and the pressure delivery put paint deep into the rough surface. Two people helping tape off ahead of me.. total time to paint 2,600 sq ft house, 3 hrs. + 1/2 to clean the sprayer and take off masking.
