    I need a paint sprayer

    I need to paint quite a few interior raised panel doors... I hate painting...I REALLY hate painting doors. Any sprayer suggestions out there?

    Thanks,
    Scott

    I have sprayed both paints and deck/fence stains with this one.

      If you're doing a fine finish paint, I'd look into the FUJI. It is a great tool and you can use it for cabinets, etc. Look here- http://www.bt3central.com/showthread.php?t=24279

        You might look at the Critter, an inexpensive, low air consumption sprayer that uses standard jelly jars for the paint. Has received many good reviews.

          I think most of the HVLP set-ups are out of my budget range. For $300-400... I'll suck it up and grab a brush.

          I've seen the critter and really like the idea of storing unused paint in regular mason jars. The price is right too. I've read the other posts and a few reviews online, but I can't really get a feel for the size of projects it will handle. Would painting a raised panel interior door be considered a medium job? Would painting a dozen of them be considered large? I says it will spray a 2-1/2" diameter circle, which I guess would work for painting doors. I'll be spraying latex over oil, so I'll need to spray a primer. Can that stuff be thinned?

          Any thoughts?
