Paint Spayer suggestions

Looking to use a spray gun for interior paint . Mostly will use for prepainting trim work , doors , base door and crown trim . Like to paint it first , then touch up nail holes later . I am also going to be finishing the basement , with new sheetrock it would be faster and easier to spray primer/latex coats . I am not sure if I might buy a all in one airless from Depot , reviews for the Earlex 3500 all in 1 and Homeright Titanium series are good . I also have a 5hp compressor for nail gun , is there a good hand held attachment that would work with that ? I had a Wagner years ago , it just sucked .

 

Air powered spray guns don't work well with latex paints [well, I have used one air powered airless but it was powered by a compressor the size of a small car] In order to spray latex with your compressor you'd have to over thin the paint, clean the tip as needed [the air coming thru the gun will make the latex paint dry faster] and possibly wait on the compressor to keep up [depends on your tank size - cfm]

I'm not familiar with the airless units you listed but the 2 main things to look for is you want one that has a piston pump and be able to get repair parts as needed. Grayco Is the #1 airless brand but Titan and SprayTech also make decent airless pumps. I don't know a whole lot about any of the other brands

I own 2 Titan airless pumps and while I've used them a lot in new construction, I've never used them much in occupied homes. Before I'd do any spraying in a basement remodel, I'd want to be convinced that I could stop any overspray from drifting into the rest of the house. Often the cover up and clean up that goes along with spraying negates any time saved.

 

Good point about the thickness of latex , I will look into the other pumps you have mentioned and let you know , thanks for the input .
