    We have a new build about a month from needing painting. We are thinking of doing it all white. Is spraying it a much cheaper option? It is obviously quicker but is the quality of the finish as good as traditional roller method.
    Any feedback from people with opinions and experience would be greatly appreciated
    Thanks

    The finish is far better. Just depends on how advanced your build is. If doors, skirting and architrave isn't installed yet then spraying is the way to go.

    Very, very quick and top quality finish.

    Speaking from personal experience only! We had our new build sprayed white internally as the brush/roller at the time was about €800 more expensive.
    We constantly say the one mistake we made was in doing this as we have spent that €800 and more fixing the mess! If its too cold/damp etc and your spray gun isnt up to par you get running paint. Your walls need to be completely dry,no could be/might be. The amount of sanding and work involved in fixing this annoys me even writing this.
    However this was shoddy workmanship on the behalf of the guy we got and I'm sure others will have great reports.
