i'm building a house and i have omitted painting from my house because i didnt like any of the standard colours the builder offers. so i will paint it my self. i have a 200m2 single storey house. i was thinking of using a spray gun to paint the timber in the house eg doors, skirting, architraves as well as cornice. in other words, the areas that arent flat. and i will use a roller for the flat area ie plasterboard walls.
could someone advise what kind of sprayer to get, and what to avoid. i read on another post that someone bought a cheap one from bunnings and the paint came out in blotches.
should i use an air compressor and if yes, what size eg 2hp. it will just be for a one off job.
also what kind of spray gun should i get eg i have seen the ones with a 1 litre pot, there are gravity feed one etc,, but i have no idea. the spray gun cost like $80 from bunnings. will this be sufficient for the job that will give reasonable quality.
also is using an aircompressor with a spray gun easy to use. i've never used one, and have no idea about it.
your comments appreciated

As a spray painter, albeit of cars and not houses, I would NOT recommend this as a DIY project if you have no prior knowledge and particularly experience. You will not be happy with the result.
ETA never mind, have seem your update, didn't realise I was responding to an old thread. Glad you are happy with the results!
