1 quart would generally be enough unless you are very wasteful.

A gallon of oil base stain generally covers 500-600 sq ft. ... which means a quart should be plenty. I don't know much about water based stains but suspect they don't go quite as far.

New to airless painting. Need some advice

Hello, I recently purchased a Graco Power Painter Plus. I decided to buy this to reduce the work related to my various painting projects. Yesterday was my first attempt with the unit. The setup was simple. In no time I could apply paint. It went on and looked really good. Then came real pain- cleanup. Graco makes it look so easy in their training videos. Only problem is they ignore the scrubbing of buckets, hoses, spray gun. nozzles, and pump. When I combine the time of masking off for overspray and all the cleanup I really believe I would have been better off using a roller and paint brush. That said, it was my first project. I thought someone here may have some tips to cut the time for cleanup. Can someone here help?Read More
