I have 12 fence panels that are in need of being painted, all feather edge fence panels. Has anyone used a fence sprayer before as painting with a brush is likely to take a long time.
We used a sprayer last year and it saved so much time compared to using a brush. The trick is to set the nozzle to spray in a horizontal pattern, then spray the panel top to bottom from an angle rather than facing it square on. Then spray the panel again on a slight angle from the other side. This ensures that you don't have unsprayed areas by the vertical battens.
I still managed to miss a few bits here and there, but the Mrs followed up with a brush. Also, leave the top couple of inches to do by hand, because otherwise the overspray gets on everything.
So in other words use a brush.....
Last time we had a job like that we were able to easily slide the panels up and out and lie them on a tarp on the lawn to paint with a brush.
Was really quick and didn't have to worry with getting paint on anything else, it just trashed the tarp!
If you can't take the panels out, then can't help!
