Simple. Go down to your pro paint store and rent a Graco machine.
Other airless brands may work as well but Graco has been around a long
time. Before committing, though, ask the store personnel if there are
any active jobs that you could go look at and perhaps quiz the crew as
to their hints and tips to make it go fast. Put a 12-pack on the back
of the truck if you catch them at the end of the day. It's said that
painters like their beer a bit more tha other tradesmen. HTH
