I bought the paint spray simply because at the time I was 72 years old and facing the job of having to paint 18- 6ft fence panels. The paint spray was probably the best buy that I have made in many a year. I think the entire operation took me about 3 hours a saving of about 10 hours had I used a brush. The spray also covers the timber much better than you can achieve with a brush, you are not dabbing at the wood to get into difficult nooks and crannies. My neighbour borrowed it and I can assure you his opinion was equal to mine. By the way thanks for reminding , my fence is due for a re-spray. Kind Regards John Wakefield -
