Which airless spray paint unit to paint a roof?

Which airless spray paint unit to paint a corrugated flat tin roof?170 sq m

I would prefer to plonk the hose in the tin and spray.

I expect these things to clog up and require extensive cleaning afterward.
( I am not patient or keen on this aspect)
isn't there one where i can just spray water through to clean it, without spending a thousand dollars or more on a unit?

Perhaps in later years I might spray paint the interior.......maybe

Chinese copies of which spray painting unit?

I've heard that unless they are used fairly frequently, that the working parts have very big chance of seizing up.

Never used one personally.

Just found out I require 521 spray tip with the heat reflective paint I will be using.
For undercoat the tip is 517 which is ok with th echinese machine.

Will 521 spray tip mean it wont work?
This has quickly eliminated a large number of machines I was thinking of buying, but I cant locate a machine which will be usble with this tip.

Over what period of time have you painted these houses?

Any ideas from anyone?
I may end up hiring but I prefer to buy becuase of jobs probably over the coming several months

You could always buy this machine,should do the trick or you could hire one for the day

or you could buy this machine,its retail is around $3500,wont pump 521 tip,but comes close,just do an extra coat or two with the 517 tip.

Any tips on paint preparation ( Heat reflective paint) for 170 sq m flat zirculume roof 10 years old in strong sunlight with no shade.
Do you think a 1650psi water high pressure spray would be adequate for a home user to clean the roof . it doesn't appear that dirty?

I buy a new wagner every 12 months and sight unseen through the paint shop I purchased a new spray chief by accident .It didn't even see a dozen houses out, It was probably just a lemon
