Title: Paint sprayers?
Post by: Bar W on August 02, 2012, 03:45:31 pm
I've got some rental properties I'm gonna need to paint in the near future so I'm looking for a good reliable paint sprayer. Air or electric anyone have experience with good ones?

I bought a Magnum sprayer at Lowes when I painted the interior of my home and it worked great.  Simple to use.

I use to have rental in Calif and I bought one but found out you could go to the paint store and rent one for a day 40 bucks and they are Graco the best and with the best guns.when you stop throw it in a bucket of water when you start reverse the head give it a shot on the ground ready to spray. plus paying rent on one is a tax right off.a good sprayer is going cost.

I would power wash my house with dish soap and parsons amonia next morning start early and by five o'clock [wife trimming ] we were done. 3 bed 2 bath houses. plus you have to store them in 10 weight oil rental is best unless you like to fool with that stuff, and have a 7 to $1000 you don't need.

Go rent one of those good ones you can put a five gallon bucket on. The nozzle is lighter and you don't have to refill a cup. Unless you are going to use it all the time rent one. If you have to paint a lot then buy one. Run the numbers and decide for yourself. But that is the spryer you need. Renting you can upgrade every time you use it ;D

As a mechanic, if i have to borrow a tool more than twice, its time to buy it. If your lookin at using it moretwice a yr i would buy it, but like others have said, it may cost you less in the long run to just rent it.

Whether you rent or purchase has zero impact on whether it is a tax writeoff.  RL, CPA/PFS
