Having the walls/ceilings replastered want to use a spray gun what do I size the new plaster with?
And using emulsion could I get away with an electric spay gun £20 ish

I'll second what the chef has said, don't get any in your eyes as it will drip easier being watered down

I'd never spray indoors, a others have said, mix 50/50 with water and 'mist' - remember you're not trying to paint it in one go

it takes longer to mask the room of than it takes to paint the room with a brush and good roller

Dulux supermatt is good, can be used while plaster is still drying out which not every paint can. It's more expensive but even the miss coat gives excellent coverage. Otherwise any Matt emulsion watered down roughl 40%.
