Cuprinol MPSB 2-in-1 Shed and Fence Paint Sprayer, 6133940 , Green

This was an absolute dream to use. It was so quick to get a load of fence panels done. It uses quite a bit of paint as (Ronseal paint/sprayable Shades Willow) is quite thin. I never had a single nozzle clogging and found that the more you pump - the better the fine spray. It was all easy to clean after - though I get what people say about the lip inside the canister. Would be better if the canister came apart for cleaning.The BIG warning:Despite using on a non windy day; and using a piece of cardboard to catch overspray when doing the tops of fence panels; and asking neighbours to move their cars; I ended up with green speckles on all neighbours cars - even those parked 25+ feet away.Took me all week (evenings) to clean six neighbours cars using a special tar removal (Car) chemical to get it all off. So in reality - the sprayer saved me no time whatsoever :-(Ask all neighbours to move cars out of street!!

When this sprayer worked properly it was a huge time saver. I found that all the brand new Cuprinol shades paint I tried didn’t work at all in the sprayer, it just blobbed out the paint no matter what pressure, no spray. On the box it says to only used sprayer comparable Cuprinol brand paint, well I tried three different cans in two different colours and gave up to paint the old fashioned way. But I later tried some Ronseal shed/fence paint and it worked like a dream with the spray. Really good pressure and spray.Cleaning is rubbish, it’s impossible to get fully clean without using horrible paint dissolving chemicals, mainly the transparent tube and areas inside the container that are impossible to get too. But I do not think this decreases the function as most areas can be flushed through. It takes longer to clean then to use!I would recommend as it ended up being a huge time saver painting a huge amount of area. But be aware of the paint brand problem I had.

Bought this to reward myself for offering to paint my elderly neighbour's fence. Once you get used to the spray pattern and get in a rhythm then you can make very rapid progress. Works very well on closed panel fences. I have recently painted both sides of an open panel 50 metre fence. This device saved me 60% in time versus using a brush only -this includes time taken to sheet-up around the spray area and clean up afterwards. Again, you can get the spray pattern and angle right to minimise paint loss and then brush out steadily to get an even finish. Don't spray too large an area before brushing out. It takes 20-30 minutes to clean the device. When I had to take an overnight break in doing a large job I avoided having to clean up by leaving the spray/brush head in a bucket of water. I wouldn't risk that unless you are really time pressured. I have only used Ronseal Fence Life paints so far with this sprayer. This paint is far cheaper than the Cuprinol paint. I am sure the Cuprinol paint is great, but the Ronseal stuff is fit for purpose and doesn't block the sprayer. Provided you keep this sprayer clean, it'll save you loads of time.

This sprayer works well, follow the instructions and you get good results, smooth operation, incorporates in line filters that prevents splatter and blockages. have just sprayed full sized fence panels without any problems or fuss! A nice bit of kit!

The first one was clearly faulty, the hose fittings were on the wrong way with no way of altering. This was sent back for a refund, but the seller does not provide a pre-paid label, nor does Amazon, not impressed at the failure here to adhere to basic consumer law.The second one arrived and I was hopeful, until I tried to spray Garden Shades, a product is is 'designed' for. Not a chance. Two batches of Shades tried, in case first was a 'bad' batch, same results on both. For all it 'sprayed', you would be better off overloading a fence brush and splattering the paint on the panel. The videos show a lovely 90 degree fan of paint being applied to the panel, the reality is a 45 degree fan, with most of the paint going in spits and splatters down the left and right of arc, making two lines of splatters, about 20 cm apart, with drips runs and blobs and nothing in the middle at all.I have sent it back as faulty (it clearly cannot spray paint it is designed for) and I hope that the seller is more helpful than they were with the first return.The manufacturer needs to take a good hard look at this sprayer as it does not perform as it should when used according to the instructions. Both media it is designed for cannot be diluted for spraying as they will not then work as advertised. It may well be OK on the One Coat product, if that is thinner than Shades, but as an experienced sprayer, there is something not right about the design of this nozzle for putting something as thick as Shades through it.A shame, as I am back to brushing, as this was my only hope of being able to spray Shades on my fence panels.

Great idea but kept getting clogged and in the end it was quicker and easier to use a brush. When it did work thought it was great just inconsistent with the spray and coverage.

Having used the sprayers for a good while I thought I would try the brush version. It works really well, has a good spray and decent quality brush and is easy to assemble. Much more convenient than sprayer in one hand and brush in the other. Was reasonable to clean but does take a while for clean water to come through when washing out but it’s the only way to clean it really. Just put clean water through it until all the paint is gone. If you don’t it will be clogged next time you use it. I know from bitter experience.
