If your set up is like mine, the compressor is in the garage and it
would take a lot of hose to reach all over the house.

I would suggest renting a full size airless sprayer. This will go
faster because you can draw out of 1 to 5 gallon paint cans. Also can
move it from room to room. Get all your taping done and everything
else either moved or covered VERY well and the actual spraying will
only take you a few hours.

What ever is not protected will come out covered with overspray. I
guarantee it.

I have done this, but not with an "air" type gun... I used an "airless"
(a Wagner)... you can rent them at most equipment rental yards... worked
great...
