A Review and Giveaway.

Homeright Paint Sprayer Review

and giveaway!

 One day I was feeling very bold. Bold for me anyway. I decided to ask Homeright if they would give me a paint sprayer in exchange for an honest review, and they said yes... I'm like what? Really? I was OVER THE MOON! And then they asked me if I wanted to give one away. Why,YES! I did a happy dance, emailed a few friends, and enjoyed the moment :) I feel silly thinking about it now but some of you know what I'm talking about... this gives me hope that there IS enough room for everyone in this humongous blogging world.

I had the perfect project to use this paint sprayer on. I know, right! I wouldn't even buy these rockers at a thrift store... they were THAT bad!  But yet, 6 of them sat on my back porch in all of their ugly glory. I love my back porch but I was seriously embarrassed by these chairs. Let's just say you can't wash the ugly off of something. Believe me, I tried!

Thank goodness Homeright sent me the Finish Max Pro Fine Mist paint sprayer. It sounded perfect for the job and I couldn't wait to get started.

Painting 6 chairs is a lot of work so my husband offered to help take over. First we had to prepare them for paint. We started by chipping away the old peeling wood. We glued. We clamped. And then we took a break. 

We sanded. We wiped. We tightened the screws.

And now the fun part!

 Meet the Finish Max Pro. And it is a PRO! It has a nice long hose, 2 pots, and easy instructions that even I can understand. And that is saying a lot! I really have a hard time following instructions.

We set the chairs up like this inside the garage near the opening for good air flow. 
We painted them upside down first.

And then we painted them right side up. My husband and I took turns spraying. He did most of it though, funny, he NEVER helps when a paint brush is involved. I'm telling you, this sprayer is the ticket! Especially because rocking chairs are hard to paint but this was much easier than brushing. It took us a good part of the day because we painted on several coats. I want the chairs to be pretty and easy to keep clean for a long time.

The Finish Max Pro was easy to use. The only thing I would suggest besides reading and following the instructions carefully is to keep the nozzle where the paint comes out wiped clean. We had to do this often. The paint will not come out smoothly if paint dries and clogs the tip. But this was easy. Just remember to do it.

We set these out in the sun to dry. I'm telling you, they look good as new! And that my friends makes this thrifty girl happy!

Here is a close up of the smooth finish that the sprayer provided.

All I need to do now is make some pretty pillows to put on my newly painted porch rockers. Ones that the cat won't sit on....and why does one hairy cat have the need to sit on 6 chairs... every. single. one. It drives me nuts.

Check out Homeright's website, they have a ton of great products to choose from.
