I'm looking for recommendations for a paint sprayer to do some large areas.
It is pretty much a one time deal so I don't want a $10,000 pro rig, but I
don't want a Wagner toy either.

We'll be painting 25,000 square feet of ceiling and about 16,000 square
feet of wall. I'd like to be able to attach it to a 5 gallon pail and let
loose. Paint will be latex. Next year we may do the outside but they that
will be it for 5 years or so.

Any suggestions? $500 to $750 would be a good budget number.

Graco Magnum XR-9 Airless Sprayer.

I've used one to paint several homes. It is a work horse, IMO. Look at
them in the borg.

Regular price: $795.00
YOUR price: $565.00

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

I checked rental at $80 a day, it is worth buying. Two recommendations for
Graco so far so that sounds like a good bet.

The machine is worth buying! (Optional accessories like a roller kit
and handle extension are worth the extra cost)

Another link* has free shipping and no tax. Cost for the XR9 $565.00.
About seven days rental cost.
