GIVEAWAY: HomeRight Command Max Paint Sprayer! April 2, 2012 Giveaways, LCH Interiors, Tutorials 51 Comments 18388 ***********This giveaway is now closed************** I am so super excited to share this giveaway with you! It’s actually been a long time in the making because I’ve totally been sitting on this product for a few months-the weather just wasn’t cooperating. I got the sprayer back in January, but it was too cold, then too wet, then I was too busy, and well…life happens… I finally set a goal of using it last week. After a rainy start, I had enough sun to haul out one of my new Goodwill finds and get to work (pardon the cell phone pic). I fell in love with this hutch, even though it was missing the glass and needed A LOT of patchwork. I mean A LOT. After all the patching was done (or about as good as it was going to get- I wasn’t going for perfection), I got out the Command Max Sprayer. I was expecting a bunch of parts and pieces to put together, but I was pleasantly surprised that the sprayer was pretty much ready to go out of the box. I didn’t take any “getting set up” pictures because it didn’t take much time at all, and the directions were very clear. I had some SW Homberg Gray paint on hand that I planned to use. After doing the viscosity test per the instructions, I realized that it had to be thinned. At first I had a little freak out thinking I’d need to go get paint thinner until I did some research on the internet saying I could just add water (it’s latex paint). So you’re not caught by surprise, I recommend reading up on the paint you’re planning to use and the thinning requirements before dragging all your tools outside 🙂 Otherwise you might find yourself on an emergency run to Home Depot. I added water to my paint a little at a time until I got the right consistency. Don’t be intimidated, all you do is scoop up some paint into the little blue cup provided and count the seconds it takes for it to empty back into the can of paint. There is a chart in the manual that gives you the guidelines based on the type of product you’re using (paint, stain, varnish, etc). Definitely take the time to do this and get it right because if the paint is too thick, the sprayer will not work! Once I had my paint thinned appropriately, all I did was pour it in the white bottom piece, attach the “straw”, and plug it in. The manual gives all kinds of tips on how to test the sprayer, learn the nozzle configurations, and get the spray technique down. But I’ve had a lot a traditional spray paint experience, so I figured I’d just jump in. Within a few minutes I had it figured out and was already on my way to complete flawless coverage. I definitely noted that because of the HVLP (that’s high volume, low pressure) technology, overspray was pretty slim-even though it was windy out. That saves you paint and mess! Ask Mike about the time I oversprayed his car on accident with white spray paint… I only wish I had shown you this product on a better-boned piece of furniture, but you can see even though the piece was not in good condition, the paint itself is smooth. It got into all the grooves MUCH better than I could ever do with a brush. If you ever work on detailed pieces, this sprayer would cut your work time tremendously. I painted the whole bookshelf in about an hour (and that included me having to re-patch areas that were unrelated to the painting- you can see the filler on the first shelf above). The paint dried superfast and incredibly strong as well. I was using a putty knife on it for more patching within 30 minutes, and it did not damage the paint. I could not believe it! If you brush paint furniture, you know this degree of curing is virtually impossible so soon. I normally have to let my pieces sit overnight before proceeding to the distressing phase. It’s like the best of both worlds- the speed of spray painting, but with the durability of brushing on paint. With all the repairs this hutch needed, this piece could have easily taken days to finish with a brush. But with the sprayer, I had the whole thing patched, painted, distressed, and waxed within 24 hours. AH-MAZING. I bought some chicken wire for the doors and replaced the hardware with some of the knobs from another makeover (The Admiral Desk). If you’re wondering about the clean-up, don’t be scared. I went into this project thinking it’d be a nightmare, but it wasn’t bad at all. Again, I found the manual to be very clear. The pieces come apart for easy cleaning, and it didn’t take me more than 10 minutes. The time I saved in painting more than made up for this mild inconvenience. It takes me about the same time to clean all my brushes anyways. And because I couldn’t resist seeing The Elsie Hutch filled with china, here she is all made up. Another thing to note: I love distressing furniture and this rustic chicken-wire door-ed piece was no exception. I found the process of distressing to be more “organic” on the sprayed finish than on anything I’ve brushed. The Command Max sprayer would work for a clean, flawless finish or as a base to distress and glaze. Needless to say, I’ll definitely be using it again. And because of the minimal overspray, I may even attempt to set up a little drop cloth studio in the basement and try it indoors. Are you dying to try this tool?
