    If you had a really big house, and wanted to do just one base coat of white through out inc ceiling etc. And as you said no doors etc blank canvas, and taped your windows up, then maybe yes might be an idea. But if its an average house, ie three bedroom house average size, just buy a roller and get stuck in.

    you'd be better off hiring rather than buying a sprayer , you're probably only going to use it the once , i reckon i could do a house much quicker than a sprayer, by the time they've masked up, cleaned up etc and then unless you're going to paint all the walls the same colour then you're goingto have to wash everything out before you can put another colour in it , a decent roller and sleeve is going to cost less than £20-00

    That's about right. It's a 3 big bed with attic, en suite, bathroom, dining room, hall stairs landing and attic landing etc. I was planning on doing it all in one base coat of white - all the same colour.

    I was just curious before commiting - most likely to do the roller route. Though nothing harmful in asking :)
