Get it Done Faster: Spray Painting Interior Walls

Monday, May 5th, 2008

There are tons of jobs the average homeowner would really prefer to hand over to the professionals.  That is unless he or she likes dealing with frustration and costly mistakes.  Since you have more sense than that, when you made the decision to repaint the interior of your home’s rooms, you were a bit surprised when the painter recommended spray painting interior walls.  Try to get the visions of graffiti out of your mind, with today’s high tech paint sprayers you’ll never know your walls weren’t done with the traditional rollers and brushes.  Here are a few of the advantages to allowing your painter to use this piece of equipment in your home.

Just like with the other methods for painting interior walls, your painter will have to use drop clothes to protect your carpet or hard wood floors.  He or she will also use painter’s tape to cover any molding or trim work that isn’t going to be painted.  After that, the technique changes a bit.  The ceiling of the room should be painted first.  It’s simply the best way to ensure that any drips or drops can be fixed when the walls are painted.  Even if low toxicity paint is being used, it’s also a good idea to open the windows for good ventilation.

Spray Painting Interior Walls

As the person bankrolling this operation, you will be pleased to know that spray painting interior walls is less expensive in terms of labor costs.  It doesn’t take nearly as long to complete the job with a paint sprayer as it does to use the regular old brush and rollers.  Many people also feel that less paint is needed to complete the job as well.  Since the sprayer is distributing an even layer of paint on the walls, additional coats needed are kept to a minimum. 

As odd as it might sound, spray painting interior walls is a good way to get the job done and save money on the project at the same time.  Streaking, inadequate paint coverage and high labor costs aren’t big problems with this more modern painting technique.
