it's over in the drywall repair supplies. Just a spray can. Some come with different size tubes to attach that give you large, medium and small 'bits'. You just spray after repairing and sanding, then when it's dry paint right over it. Matches the lumpy paint, and works pretty good.


I like smooth walls too, but they are rare. And after removing that gunk from the ceiling in the family room, I have been told 'never again'. so, next time we drywall right over it. What a mess.

was there an attachment on this message? computer seems to think so but I can't find it.

Never seen that spray paint. Not needed here since all walls are textured. Just paint it and you'll never see it. But I'd rather have smooth walls cause I can make a wall flat and smooth but matching texture is really tough.

For the Kilz I really prefer the oil base but it is harder to clean up. I just pitch the brush and a little lighter fluid to clean the hands if not wearing gloves. The water based can't be used over knots in trim as it will not stop the sap from coming through. It'll look ok at first then will show pretty quick.

Never liked those wagner guns much. They are nice when the work but a pain to clean and keep running. The big ariless ones are easy to clean. Just fill a 5 gal bucket with water and flush it out till it comes clean.
