So... I want to repaint my shop this year...
its 1650 sq ft, and 24' at the peak, 18' ceiling...
(outside)
Id like to spray it, I think it would make for a faster, better job, and I need the experience of spraying... I sprayed oil primer on all walls and ceilings in my new house, then sprayed latex on all ceilings and closets... and I sprayed moisturegard, and Masterhide Semi on the walls in the shops (OSB) 5+ Coats... (bought about 10 gallons too much, oh well lol)
the outside of the building is like tan almost biege, like the inside of an almond... with white trim... with a red roof... it looks ugly as crap..
I wants to paint it like a olive/forest green, with brown trim (theres a guy with in 5 miles of me with a pole barn with the color scheme and it looks good)
I know I need to pressure wash the exterior... no biggy there...
The building was put up in 2001.
I was thinking Ben Moore Aura.. for trim and body...
Should this be primed first? if so with what?
what tip do I use?
I have my 'new' graco sprayer that has only been used to do what was listed above... its a 390 i think? I bought the graco cause I have 100' (2) 50' hoses for it prior to buying it... lol anyway I know its not your big bad production sprayer, and I am ok with that as I am new to spraying with airless.
Any tips on this would be appreciated!
and its my own property so if I screw it up its not the end of the world
