Industrial Paint spraying
2 Answers
I have a big barn, about 70 foot high, I need to paint the outside of it. I was going to buy an industrial paint sprayer on ebay, not sure what kind of pressure I need or any machines/paint type that would work well. Can anyone help? Do I need scaffolding? Cheers

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I've painted our barn and twice the house with a sprayer. I found that the "airless" sprayer works the best, but they are expensive to buy. A good quality one in the US is about $500. But they can easily be rented for about $50 for the day, and since you only use it once every 5 or 6 years, renting makes the most sense. They don't waste as much paint since they don't produce overspray. Additionally, they are self contained and don't need a compressor. I painted a barn requiring 35 gallons of paint in a day and one half. I did have some scaffolding that I placed on the back of a truck. If one has a fork lift or front end loader and has a good operator it makes the job go quickly as well... Best of luck with the project...
