Good Points: Easy to set up, simple to clean, painted 120' fences in no time - forget rollers or a brush, Earlex had even tested the paint I was using to ensure compatability.
Bad Points: Noisy, the sound got a little irritating after a while and you had to be careful with your aim as the overspray meant I wasted paint.
General comments: I went back to B&Q and looked at the spray guns and there was an Earlex Super Sprayer 55 and some other brand at £10 cheaper but I knew Earlex having bought a steam stripper several years ago and the Earlex gun just looked like a much better quality product (and it's made in the UK!!). I wasn't going to mess about over £10.
I used Cuprinol timbercare and although there is no reference to spraying on the tin, I rang Earlex who confirmed they had tested the paint with the gun and they said it worked. And it did.
The thought of painting all that fencing just about put me off but I knew it had to be done and thanks to Earlex I had the whole job in about 3 - 4 hours (with a few tea breaks).
Clean up was simple and they even supplied oil to lubricate the gun before I put ir back in the shed.
Pity it's not quieter but it's tolerable to a degree and I'd rather have the job done in one day then several weekends.
Thanks Earlex.
