TIL my cheap paint sprayer cost me $200 in wasted primer
It clogged every five minutes on a bedroom project, turning a weekend job into a three-day mess. Anyone have a reliable brand under $150 that actually works?

My old sprayer was a nightmare too. Switched to a Graco TrueCoat and it actually finishes the job without constant cleaning.

Been there, that's the worst. I grabbed a Wagner Flexio 590 on sale for around $130 after my old one died. It's not perfect, but for primer and basic paint it's been solid. The key is to thin the primer just a little bit, even if the can says no need. Makes a huge difference with clogs. I've done two rooms and a fence with it now and it hasn't failed me yet.
