I sprayed our backyard fence on the weekend. We had some old sections of fence which didn't look great, especially near new boards.
The spray gun was very quick and easy to use. I used Dulux RapidFinish.
Very happy with the results, although not sure we got the colour right. We were expecting more of a darker grey and less blue/purple tone.
A couple of after shots:

Now we need to get planting in the garden!

Great. Looking forward to seeing your results @pformagg.
Remember that you'll want to choose a paint that is suitable for a spray gun. I used Dulux RapidFinish which doesn't need to be diluted and was self-priming so very convenient. I'm sure that would be suitable for use with your Ozito, but you might want to double check with a paint specialist at your local store first.

Hi @lin_ren,
Welcome to Workshop and thanks for joining in the discussion. I hope you find plenty of helpful advice and inspiration on the site from our community members.
Priming is usually advised before painting most surfaces, as it creates a layer that paint can better adhere to. It can often save you time and money, and help ensure a better finish. In the case of painting wood, primer can help fill in the grain and create a smooth surface for the subsequent coat(s). You might have found when painting the pailings that they really soaked up the paint.
I'm sure that Workshop community members would be happy to share other painting tips, and there's also a lot of how-to information on painting in the D.I.Y. advice section of the Bunnings website that you might find useful.
Thanks again,
Jason
