I've not used one but the price for them is unbelievable! The pod costs a fair bit and then the paint is also stupid money. It's not available in loads of colours either, I don't think.

How much for a pint pod?? And I can't see how it can clean itself that well. Does it come with a little man that jetwashes it all out LOL/

I used one of those spray things for fence panels, ya know quick and easy and less effort. Crapola !! More mess, patchy thin layer and more work having to do it by hand after. The spray cost more and I got less quantity.

I say get stuck in and do it the old fashioned way, roller etc or get a decorator in of ya really lazy !!

If you get one tho do tell us how it went, pics and videos of the mess if it's a disaster required !!

Odd, I used one last year and it was so much better than doing it by hand it was untrue! Did take a little setting up to get the spray level right though, and watch out for overspray if you have concrete posts or gravel boards.

Just clear the room ccompletely, stick a few tins of paint in there with a teeny bit of C4 on each - set fuse...

... KER-BLAMO!

Instant coverage of everything in the room and you have fun with things going bang too.

There is that option, or rent a house and get the landlord to do it
