Spray painting interior walls

[theboyfold]

I have a room which has just been freshly plastered (including the ceiling) and my plan is to paint it all white. Is spray painting an option for freshly plastered walls?

I've never done it before and might paint the garage to practice.

I've often wondered....


Must take a LOT of masking up

Seeing as my room is bare floorboards and a fresh skim of plaster, I only need to cover over the window.

Or just open it...

Or just paint it!

Presumably hiring the kit is the way to go?

Well, I won't have it gathering dust with all the other tools that I've bought if I were to hire it...

Bizarre a room with no door , do you climb in and out the window?

I abseil everywhere. It's the future I tell you.

In the final stages of a converion. The decorators used a sprayer pretty much everywhere in the house and I have to say the finish is fantastic. Way better than I have ever seen achieved with a roller or brushes.

What state were the walls in beforehand? Were they already painted or did they have a fresh skim?

I'm tempted to put the 50/50 coat on first of all, then spray it (after testing out the sprayer on my garage)
