MyRepurposedLife-10-reasons-spray-paint-alternative



I love using my HomeRight Finish Max fine finish sprayer. What does that mean exactly? Well, for me it means that I get a great paint job easily in any color I want. But the nice folks at HomeRight.com can explain it a lot better.

From their site:

This Fine Finish HVLP sprayer means that it has a high–volume, low-pressure, and this technology uses a high-volume of air at a low-pressure to apply a professional looking finish. The low pressure assures less overspray. This equates to a sprayer that will direct the finish where you want it — on your project. Precision volume control and adjustable sprayer patterns mean the Finish Max provides a smooth, even finish on projects such as; cabinets, furniture and woodworking projects. Use this Fine Finish Sprayer with paint, chalk paint, clear sealer, polyurethane, primer, stain and varnish.

Yeah… like they said, a great finish, like you’re use to getting from spray paint. But there are  benefits to using a spray paint alternative.

10 Reasons to use a Finish Max as a spray paint alternative

  1. You can match other accessories in your room, by using the same paint you’ve used on your walls.
  2. You can get several different sheens from the same paint (by using DIY Chalk Paint, and any number of sealants, like wax, poly, and more.
  3. The clean up of latex is soap and water. Have you TRIED to get spray paint off of your hands?
  4. You don’t have to figure out how to recycle empty paint spray cans.
  5. It’s a much cheaper alternative to spray paint.
  6. Any item that can be spray painted, can get the Finish Max treatment
  7. Less odor! Spray paint is smelly!
  8. If your paint and your project are warmed in the sun, you can use your Finish Max at lower air temperatures than you can spray paint.
  9. A Finish Max will cover more square footage in less time.
  10. You won’t end up with an impression of a button on your finger.

Granted—there are still small items that will be spray painted, but larger items, or when I have a LOT of stuff—my Finish Max will get a workout.

finish-max-spray-paint-alternativeI gathered up what I needed for this quickie project. I already had some DIY chalky paint mixed up, so I strained it into my paint cup, and got started spraying with my HomeRight Finish Max .

 

spray-paint-alternative-paint-sprayerI sprayed the back of the frames first, then 2 light coats of the chalky paint on the front. It seriously doesn’t get any easier than this.

 

chalkboard-paintAre you an impatient crafter? Lately, I’ve used my hair dryer twice to speed up the drying process of my projects. This quickie chalkboard project was one of those times.

TIP: Did you know you can use this chalkboard paint in your paint sprayer? I used it on several chalkboards and the finish was soooo smooth!

  1. The finish max would be great to help with the opening of my small business! We have to paint all the walls of the retail space plus we are going to repurpose dressers for our work stations too. Soo excited!!

  2. Many projects on my waiting list for when I can afford a home right. I have been following your adventures for a while, I love how great that sprayer makes everything look.

  3. I have a very large, ornate, gold, antique mirror that would be perfect to use the Finish Max on. Thanks for having the giveaway!

  4. I really need to finish painting my front yards wrought iron fence and also my sons wood swing set. As far as spray painting projects right now I do not have any projects small enough to use spray paint my projects all entail large amounts of paint that’s why I haven’t done them yet.

  5. I have several pieces that I have to hand paint because I am using the chalk type paint. I would love to have a Max Finish sprayer to help me complete these projects in a more timely manner. I have a two dressers, two side tables, several scrap projects to paint up. Waiting for the weather in KY to warm up ๐Ÿ˜‰

  6. Painting rattan basket is always hard when you don’t want the raw color. It would be so much easier with a sprayer!

  7. I purchased an old telephone bench that needs some TLC — plan on painting it crimson and covering the seat and back with some 50’s material. Make my life easier!

  8. My kitchen is receiving a sloooow renovation – new oven, new cooktop, new dishwasher and new tile floor this past summer. Now for the dreaded kitchen cabinets…. Mine are old (“golden” oak stain – who ever thought that was a good idea?) but in great shape, so painting them is the next project. Having a sprayer to accomplish that task would be wonderful. I have been researching sprayers and have found the HomeRight Finish Max has many five-star reviews on Amazon. I will keep my fingers crossed that I will be the lucky winner!!!

  9. I have been putting up all new trim in my home ..with a sprayer the finish would be so much smoother…no brush marks!!!
