Where to rent a paint sprayer?
In an effort to make my basement look less crappy, I'm planning on painting it, including the ceiling. The ceiling is drywall with exposed pipes. I'd like to rent a paint sprayer so I can easily and quickly get paint over all those little surfaces. Does anyone know where I can rent one?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Buy one at Lowe's. They are cheap.

the cheap ones suck (obviously). we tried that route and bought a cheap wagner sprayer and had to go over everything with a roller anyway beacause it splattered so much.
def rent a good one if you can. dont know where though. sorry.

I know my sprayer isn't top of the line (Could be Wagner, I forget), but I find that if everything is not adjusted perfectly, it will splatter. No matter which model you have, you need to make sure it's been properly cleaned and oiled, get water out of the system, prime the machine, adjust the nozzle, etc. If it's not a huge job, it's easier to do it by hand. Set up and clean up takes longer than painting!

Turns out, high-end paint sprayers are rentable at Home Depot (though not Lowes) for $62 for 4 hours. I'm going to give it a try. Wish me luck! Thanks for responding!
