This morning I had an hour to kill waiting for my wife so I went tot he Home
Depot across the street. I figured I could see one first hand, especially
since they listed the XR7 for $499 in the sale flyer in today's paper.

Turns out, the eastern MA stores are trying the Titan line. I'll be
ordering hte Graco from the above web site.

Now, to decide what paint to use. Metal ceiling panels, block walls with
paint already on them.

I'm certain you'll be happy with the XR-9. As I mentioned I painted
several homes with one (borrowed from friend). Ensure a good clean up
at the end of the day and follow long term storage recommendations.

The comment to strain the paint before use is dead on target. The borg
has 5 gallon mesh strainers that sit in the bucket. Put the strainer
in an empty homer bucket and pour the new bucket of paint into the
strainer and move the strainer to the other bucket.

The manual states these can be used with this sprayer:

Light to Heavy Thickness

• Varnishes • Stains
• Polyurethanes • Sealers
• Oil-based paints • Enamels
• Latex primers • Primers
• 100% Acrylics • Latex paints

Thanks to all for the help. We're about two - three weeks away from
painting. Roofers are doing their thing right now and some steel panels
have to be replaced.

Edwin, regardless of the brand of airless sprayer that you get, be sure to
strain the paint before putting it through the machine. Otherwise you will
spend a lot of time cleaning out the nozzle. You should be able to get paint
strainers at a paint store.
