We borrowed a neighbors..3/4 HP Campbell Hausfield. Put the input hose
right into the 5 gal pails and sprayed away.
Used 120 gallons of paint inside and out. Worked great. I'd go rent one

Our place in AZ was 120' wide and averaged 20-25 feet deep. Total distance
around foundation was over 300' lin. Ext. walls upto
20' high..A very large exterior. It had an attached 3.5 car 1450 sf. garage
w/ 9' ceiling.
Total 5000 sf under roof.

I sprayed a coat of stucco seal on the whole place.. IIRC, that alone took
7 - 8 5 gal pails. Then a coat of stucco paint.
Inside and in garage, I did 2 coats of PVA drywall primer, then a coat of
interior acrylic latex throughout.

After that, I had a lot of empty 5 gallon pails..the neighbors were asking
for them for years <G>

BTW, after 4 years in the AZ sun, a bobcat whacked a chunk of my stucco &
underlying Styrofoam SM board on the south (sun) facing side of the house..

After I patched and retextured the stucco, I painted the patch. I was
surprised to find that after it dried, the patch blended in so well, it
couldnt be seen- the original paint hadn't faded enough to make the patch
noticeable..That was good paint.
