Hello, I recently purchased a Graco Power Painter Plus. I decided to buy this to reduce the work related to my various painting projects. Yesterday was my first attempt with the unit. The setup was simple. In no time I could apply paint. It went on and looked really good. Then came real pain- cleanup. Graco makes it look so easy in their training videos. Only problem is they ignore the scrubbing of buckets, hoses, spray gun. nozzles, and pump. When I combine the time of masking off for overspray and all the cleanup I really believe I would have been better off using a roller and paint brush. That said, it was my first project. I thought someone here may have some tips to cut the time for cleanup. Can someone here help?

I'm getting some bubbles applying drywall mud over a very dry painted section of wall. is there a way to stop this or stil it style when the mud dries? I assume it's the paint underneath lifting
