    Sounds messy to me - wouldn't you have to mask up and cover everything that you didn't want to be painted? Brush, roller, paint pads do the job fine !!!

    they do give a much better finish if used correctly, but as Lord_Gardener said, you need to ensure that anything you don't want getting any spray on is covered, as the spray goes EVERYWHERE!!!

    As for where you can get one from, I've no idea. Sorry. Just decorators where I work have used them before...

    You can by a home spray kit from the diy stores.

    I did try one but wouldnt recomend them.

    You have to thin the paint soooooo much and then filter it before you put it in the sprayer.

    Then if there are any tiny bits left it blocks the system up.

    So all in all very messy.

    Sounds like a complete nightmare to me, certainly not for the DIY. Don't bother.

    Guys, thanx for that..........perhaps if I get a final message from some one who has used the hire/professional kit to see if its a more viable option......!

    If its too difficult...then back to plan A!!

    Masking up is no probs, would be doing it anyways!!
