Looking for a cheap way to paint a wood shed without rollers or brushes.
Looking at Harbor Freight's offerings I see this for $20:

But when I checked with my local paint shop where I'm buying the paint and
I'm told that such a setup is good for oil-based paints but not for latex
(which is too "granular", apparently).
I looked at the airless sprayers, but $200-500 for a one-time tool is more
than I want to spend.
Is it true that the above sprayer won't work with latex house paint (a
primer/sealer and a flat finish coat)?
Other ideas?
I have gobs of air pressure and volume available.
The appearance of the finish isn't important; I'm the only one who'll see it.
Thanks,

my opinion, spraying tends to cause poor adhesion because its just
sprayed on.
rolling and brushing espically washes the new paint into the old
leading to better adhesion and longer job life.
brushing is more work but does better job.............

You are 100% correct.
Some manufacturers even recommend brushing and/or rolling paint after
spraying in onto the surface. Hardly anybody ever follows this advice.
