Our stucco house, which was built in 1995, was power sprayed with Porter paint. It didn't get repainted until 2013, and could have been pressure cleaned to like new condition then, but there were a few areas around the eaves and the back of the shop that looked questionable, so it was repainted

Stucco for the most part. The parts that aren't stucco are the fascia and soffits, along with a few areas where plywood is used as a "ceiling". Dan Sent from my iPad > On Mar 29, 2015, at 10:51 PM, G Mann wrote: > > On the issue of spraying vs brushing... sprayer exit pressure is about > 1,40

On the issue of spraying vs brushing... sprayer exit pressure is about 1,400 psi .. it will put paint into the texture of rough surfaces like block and stucco you simply can't get to with a brush or roller, and use less paint doing it.. In my experience.. With just a little practice finish will be

I also own two, a Wagner and a Graco. Both work well. However, If I were at a decision point, my decision would be to rent one from a good reliable rental company. Prep the house in advance of picking up the sprayer so it's ready to paint as much as possible and you make best use of the rental tim

3. after finished, put some Nondetergent oil in the valve on the pump. I always wash mine out afterwards, using the appropriate solvent. (Water, or paint thinner.) I then feed it a slug of paint thinner regardless of paint type. Leaving water in it caused me problems, but the paint thinner cut

The wagner was a new return i bought off a tool truck. I think I paid $80. It needs new valves now but I painted house, garage, and other stuff with it. The graco i got off a deadbeat who owed money. it was nearly junk. I took it to the paint pump repair shop, and they put in new valves.

I’ve used one of the Gracos - I painted the in-laws house last year. 1 story, 1200 SF concrete block house with a 1 car attached garage. Spent a day prepping and about 2 hours to paint, which was nice. A lot of the HF reviews compare theirs to the Graco and most say it’s better. There are a l
