The pump sounds properly "winterized".

ok,
heres what you do.
using a 415, 417, 515, or 517, spray and backroll your primecoat on the walls first, then you prime and finish your cielings via spray and backroll, then you do your enamel package which I like a 210 for trim and doors, but I will occasionally use a 310 on doors too. finally, vigorously sticksand your walls, dusk and mask off your enamel work where necessary, and cut and roll your finish coats on the walls as needed.

fyi: heres how you read a spray tip. double the first number, then the first number indicates the width of your fan from 12" away from the surface. the higher the number the wider your fan the second two numbers indicate the amount of material discharging. the bigger the numbers, the heavier the material

ex: 415 (8" fan with a .0015 orfice)

I'm a remodeler that does a lot of drywall work. I've always rolled the primer. Primer is always included in my price (nothing like a coat of paint to show a mistake). I have been agonizing over putting out the $ for a airless. My painting buddies say get a 440 i but I see them buying expensive tips and taking a lot of time taping off. I ask is it worth the $ for primering drywall. I'll leave the colors for the homeowners or real painters.
