I have a couple of questions about using a airless paint sprayer. We are primeing drywall in a new construction. Never done this before. The sprayer (Mangum 1970)is new and it seems to be putting our to much paint, or we are doing something wrong. Do you have to go fast and stand a good distance from the wall. We have been trying to keep 12 inches away. After my daughter sprayed and we saw it was way to thick I rolled it out. This is my daughters house and she wants the drywall to be smooth, will rolling out the primer mess up the smooth finish? Does primer have to totally cover the drywall in a solid white, the same if it were the paint or can it be thinner. Any tips would be so helpful. We would have hired a painted but we have not had any luck with the quality of work from the local contractors. We have had to redo just about every thing so we decided to try this our selves.

Thank you so very much for your help.

Hi KinnaKeeter welcome here

Don't you have an airswitch regulator on your magnum?

I tought that would regulate the output of paint.....

Thank you for your help. I turned down the pressure as you suggested and thinned the paint. It is working a lot better. I guess we will just have to keep going until we learn how. It is not as easy as it looks.
Thanks again.

You're welcome

That's the way everybody gets to know things right? By experience and learning
