This paint sprayer has made my happy place (Painting All The Things) even happier. Honestly, I didn’t even know that was possible.
I feel like I’ve painted so. many. things. And I’ve loved every bit of it – except maybe my kitchen cupboards…they almost pushed me over the edge. (but they turned out great in the end)

Game Changer
I don’t know where the HomeRight Finish Max sprayer has been all my life, but now that I have one, it’s my painting BFF. It has completely flipped my painting game on it’s head. In the best possible way. The first time I used it, I was giddy as a kid on Christmas morning with a sugar high. Just ask Mr. 1915. He will verify. 😀
Nothing is safe now. I will be painting all the things.
I had never used a paint sprayer before. Even though I had watched Mr. 1915 use another paint sprayer, it was loud, obnoxious, and I had no desire to try it for myself. It also had some issues that seemed to be more trouble than it was worth.
Then not too long ago, I started hearing about the HomeRight Finish Max Sprayer. Everything I heard was rave reviews. I decided I needed one. With all the painting I do around here, I knew if it really was as good as I kept hearing, then one needed to come live with me. I would make it so happy with all the use it would get. 😉
Finish Max Paint Sprayer
The Finish Max Sprayer is a breeze to set up. As someone who has little patience for intricate details and long, laborious instructions, I was delighted to see the short prep list. This was a piece of cake to put together.
- open box and remove sprayer
- insert pick-up tube
- thin your paint according to super simple instructions
- attach container with paint to sprayer
- spray paint your project
It seriously could not be any easier.
Another thing I love? NO air compressor. You literally load up your sprayer and plug it in to an extension cord. That’s IT! I’m just a little obsessed.
The Large Spray Shelter
I live in MN – where the wind never dies. If there’s not at least a decent breeze, we start to get worried. So prior to my HomeRight spray shelter days, when I would spray outside, I would lose so much of the paint to the wind. Frustrating?
You bet.
Enter the HomeRight Large Spray Shelter. (cue all the angels singing)
The large spray shelter provides protection from the wind, gives ample room to move around your piece inside as you spray AND it has a fantastic screen door that you fold down when you leave your piece to dry.
The screen door keeps leaves and bugs off your freshly painted project. There are few things more agitating than leaving something to dry, only to come back and find that a bug has landed in it or a leaf is now dried onto your piece. Argh! Thankfully, you don’t have to worry about that with the large spray shelter. Here is the back/side view of the large spray shelter set up.
These handy little hooks keep the shelter taut to the supports and right where it needs to be.
What About Setting it Up?
Maybe you’re wondering about set up. After all, it’s a decent sized shelter! Well, I’m happy to report that while Mr. 1915 helped me set it up the first time, I was able to set it up all by myself the next time (and every time since). 😉 For your benefit, I even timed myself to see *how long* it would take one person to set it up. Eleven and a half minutes. That’s how long it took me. I tell you all about it here, in my Facebook Live that I did. Check it out:
As you can see in the video, my table turned out great. I did end up giving it a second coat – and that’s all it needed. Stay tuned for the final reveal of the table – I’m working on a fun graphic for it! *Full tutorial coming soon.
If you’re a person who loves to paint – whether you’re a hardcore DIYer or a Weekend Warrior – this paint sprayer and large shelter combo is for you. It saves SO much time and gives you a smooth, professional finish on your pieces. Put one (or both) of these items on your gift list (or maybe even treat yourself)! These tools will simplify and make your DIY life so much easier. You’ll wonder what you did without them.
Maybe you’re not a DIYer – but you know someone who is? Surprise them with a sprayer or large spray shelter…you’ll make their day. Happy Painting!
Hi! I love the idea of this! Is it safe to use chalk paint in the sprayer? If not, how do you seal your pieces after you’ve sprayed?
Thanks!
I have used chalk paint in my sprayer before – you just want to make sure it’s not too thick for the sprayer. As for sealing, since I used latex paint, I didn’t have to worry about sealing it with anything. 😉 Merry Christmas!
This is for Jane Ellen : I too also had the vinyl covered cabinets in my Mobil home here in Fl I too hated them. We took all the vinyl off a little time consuming but well worth it. There will be some residual of the adhesive which at first we took off but then realized after we painted them with a good enamel cabinet paint you didn’t need to do it. After the paint and new hardware they looked great until we put a new kitchen in. Good luck Barb
Boy oh boy would I ever love to paint our crappy vinyl covered cabinets with that paint sprayer. Have been holding off tackling paint job on them because of vinyl paper put on them. We have a typical single wide mfg. home and the people who had house first didn’t order house with any good features.
After KY real estate is so expensive here so we bought place for the lot, 1/2 acre, few miles west of GJ out in rural area. When we moved here were still paying for KY house, ins. and living on our SS, not easy to do in Grand Junction,CO area. Still not easy even tho we sold house in KY.
I would so love to get one of those paint sprayers for projects and kitchen cabinets. Glad to know how well it works, great post. Have great week
I totally feel your pain about having to try to fix problems that previous owners created. Best of luck to you!! You’ve got this!
I love your post on the Home Light Paint Sprayer. I just purchased this paint sprayer from Homeright Goods and wonder if you can recommend the right tip size to use for kitchen cabinets? bonnie
Hi, Bonnie – I’m so glad you’ve purchased the HomeRight sprayer! I know you’re going to love it.
As far as the recommended tip size, it all depends on what kind of primer/paint you’re going to be spraying your cabinets with. Inside your sprayer box, there will be a little user manual that will tell you exactly which tip to use with which paint. That makes it really easy to know for sure.
I’d love to see a photo when you’re done! You got this! 😀
How is it for painting walls? Has anyone tried?
I haven’t tried it for walls (yet) – but I really want to! 😉
Thank you so much for this informative post! I have used chalk paint with good results but there are times when I want a smooth surface like your black rocker. How much prep work is required i.e. sanding and priming? I must admit I am spoiled with the ease of chalk paint!
Hi Marlene! I think maybe you might be thinking of the rocker over at this post from my friend Kim? http://www.farmhousemade.com/diy/easy-way-to-paint-furniture/ ? Her black rocker turned out beautifully and I know she will have some great tips for you. Oh – and I love chalk paint too – I just usually don’t want to be bothered to seal it. LOL! Have a great day!
How bad is the overspray? I’d like to set a station in my garage but am curious if a large backdrop would be sufficient from turning my garage into painted shades of every color.
Hi Nicole! Honestly, the overspray isn’t nearly as bad as what you get with spray paint cans. I mean there is still some overspray, but you might be ok with just a large backdrop and something to protect your floors – best of luck! 😀
I always want a spray pinter but being on a fixed income I can’t afford one. So I paint which is so hard to do.
Glad the paint sprayer was such a hit- over the years we have bought a few and none of them lasted in the rotation long.
You have given me a great idea to use that old tent in the basement as an outdoor spray booth!! Has height and a screen door to keep out the bugs and leaves!! perfection!!
I’m so glad this post was helpful, Vicki! 😀 I love your idea for using an old tent as an outdoor spray shelter! Smart!! 😉 Happy painting!
Sarah, that shelter is giant! I cannot wait to put all the furniture in mine! This sprayer looks so simple – the graphic with details is on point, and I LOVE your live video!! Paint all the things!!
Kim, the shelter really is a great size! You’ll be able to spray all the many furniture pieces in it! And yes – the sprayer is SO simple to use. I can’t say enough good things about it.
Such a great post. You have totally erased my fears of using a sprayer. I shall now be ready to spray all things. 😉
Your table is adorable.
Oh, I’m so glad to hear this, Lisa! You will LOVE the HomeRight products! 😀
