Sherwin Williams SW419 Electric Airless Paint Sprayer

So after debating whether to paint the house, or have the house painted; I was off to Sherwin Williams to purchase an airless sprayer.

I did consider purchasing a sprayer from the Home Depot, but I decided since my local Sherwin Williams had all of the replacement parts in inventory that was the way to go. Also I wanted a contractor grade tool. I purchase tools with the understanding we’re going to be together for a long, long time.

This sprayer throws a lot paint. During application you must continue to move the spray gun. If you were to stop for a moment a paint drip would form. So this was great from a time-savings and overall coverage perspective.

While this does save a lot of time during the application process, you need to factor in setup and cleanup into the equation. The manual suggests you run the appropriate solvent through the machine then prime with paint. After you are finished, you’ll need to flush the system again with solvent. I’d also suggest removing the filters from both the unit and spray gun and rinsing with solvent. Lastly, if you won’t be using your sprayer for a long period of time you’ll need to circulate a lubricant.

After you factor that in, it may not be ideal for smaller projects but definitely a must for larger ones.
