Indoor Residential Trim Spraying


Should I spray or brush interior trim in an occupied home? I currently use my brush and sometimes a small roller . I have a Fuji HVLP and want to know if the prep work is worth the potential risk of property damage? Will I save much time?

Re: Indoor Residential Trim Spraying


I have never done hvlp, only airless. I would not do it. Especially with hvlp; my understanding is the mist can land across the room from where you are spraying. I only spray with airless in unoccupied areas.

Maybe if the finish had to be perfect and the budget supported it you could get some zip walls and tent off the area you're working in and go area by area; but then you're not saving time your just improving the finish. Like if you had a bunch of high end windows to do.

I kinda figure this but wanted to see if someone could talk me into because it might've been safer than I was thinking. Thanks for making the choice simple for me...I will not do it.
