The result looks a lot better too. Make everything around you look shipshape and professional. A wise lady once told me "A project isn't finished til there's a "finish" on it. Any object tends to look like crap after it's been outside for a while. Wood discolors and starts to crack. And the project you spent so much time on is yet another eyesore to irk the normal people.A spraygun is the magic wand that will solve your problem. It really is just like magic. Paint a multicolored object all one color, and it suddenly looks like a real thing, not some crap stuck together. Paint it white, black, or grey to match the theme of your surroundings, and suddenly it vanishes. It's become a part of the surroundings. No one would think of making you get rid of it.I just made this metal hand truck look like part of the solution.

Where would I keep all the required stuff – air compressors, tubes, funnels, including the gun and who knows what else?

And why would I spend hundreds of dollars on the gun alone when I can just brush on paint or buy a can of aerosol spray paint? Then I was faced with painting a sea of doors in our new house and I thought I’d look into it a little more. Turns out I was way over-thinking it! The highest rated spray gun on Amazon is this little guy called the Critter Spray Gun. It looked simple enough to operate and it cost less than $50. So I bought it and now I love it. The great thing about the Critter is you need an air compressor to spray at only 90 PSI, so you don’t have to invest in a crazy heavy-duty and huge compressor. I have this one and I like it a lot. It’s bigger than I need to operate the critter gun, but I needed it for nailing in the floors and trim too so I went with something more on the heavy-duty side. You could buy one of those tiny portable compressors though and it would work great! But the BEST part about the Critter spray gun is that it uses 16 oz Mason jars to hold the paint.

This makes clean up a breeze compared to most of the spray guns out there but also makes it really easy to prep a big spray job. Rather than filling the same jar over and over again, I filled six jars with paint (diluted a little with distilled water like the guy at Benjamin Moore suggested I do) and could just quickly change out the jars when needed. I’m nominating the Critter for my best purchase of the year! Definitely a life-changing addition to my tool box. In case you’re considering one for yourself, here’s the line up you’ll probably want: (which comes with one Mason jar) (which attaches the hose to the gun and to the air compressor) Air compressor that pushes at least 90 PSI (I have this big one but you could get away with using a smaller, more portable one (these are SO worth having and using!) (apparently they fall apart over multiple uses) PS If you decide to use the Benjamin Moore Advance paint that I love for spraying furniture and doors, you’ll probably want to dilute the paint with about five ounces of distilled water for every gallon of paint.
