Wagner Paint Sprayer - Built for a Man - Blown Up By a Girl
Speaking of indoor paint jobs. My kids and I decided we were going to tackle painting the basement while my husband was at work.
I’d never experienced a paint sprayer before, so I thought it would have to be easier then the old fashioned way of rolling on the paint.
Boy was I wrong!
First, the paint sprayer vibrates the heck of of you - it’s an uncomfortable sort of vibration too that makes it difficult to hold on for very long.
Next, the unit gets hot quickly - meaning you have to take more frequent breaks. Taking breaks with a paint sprayer means you have to disassemble the product, clean it and put it back together. If not, while the sprayer is drying, you’re going to end up with gunky paint buildup in places you won’t want it too.
After doing this whole cycle a few times, the boys and I agreed it just wasn’t worth it. However, because it was getting late in the day, we’d decided we were going to finish the project with the sprayer, clean that puppy up and put it in a yard sale.
That was until the darn thing blew up - I mean smoking, popping, stinky smelly kind of blow up. Beyond repair blow up. Beyond taking back to the store blow up.
Thankfully we jumped in the car, ran to the local hardware store. While they had just closed 10 minutes prior, they still opened their doors and sold us three paint rollers and pans. We returned home and within an hour we had the job finished and had even taken our rollers to go back over the areas the sprayer didn’t cover well enough.
If you have a paint job coming up and you’re faced with a decision between a sprayer and a roller - save yourself the hassle and opt for the roller. Or if you absolutely MUST get the sprayer, at least get the roller back ups when I’m singing my happy little “I told you so” tune.
