Quick note before heading out to Mother's Day V2.
Thanks again for all the great advice here, very helpful.
I loved the way the 1.8 tip HVLP gun laid down the paint, flawless on the door, it just didn't shoot enough of it on the wall. I found a gun with a 2.5 tip on Amazon for all of $28. I won't be able to do the ceiling with it but I have to try it alongside a rental sprayer from HD. 2.5 is like a small garden hose.
Have a great Labor Day!
