Answers:
Spray painting is popular.Give it a good clean first...cover your windows and doors and fences properly
a paint compressor. their not that expensive any more although a couple coats it will take. and water it down .if you buy one ask for advice at store
only use a spray gun if there is no danger of overspray or you could be painting the cars in the street as well i dont think the owners would be to pleased otherwise a big paintbrush
the best way in my opinion is to just use a decent brush and a sheepskin (thick) roller (i always use dulux it covers better than cheap paints) it takes a bit longer but there is less chance of damaging anything in the surrounding area
the easy way is to pay someone to do it for you
A good exterior brush made for the job, if you spray it you will have to mask everything in sight doors and frames, all the windows and gutters, and you will need to apply at least two of three coats, brush the wall down with a dry floor brush to remove any loose debris and do get a good brush I have used Sandtex it has a 10 year guarantee, to get a good job use two coats as it is going to last for a while and take you time in the preparation.
Heavy duty roller, brush for cutting in, we like Sandtex, cat be bit snotty to roll but mix some cold water to it,
get a masonry brush from a trade shop ie dulux or crown. Thin the first coat down as instructed on tin.
I don't use a roller on this as it is to much like hard work.
with a paint sprayer,it will take you forever to do it by hand,as long as you cover all your windows and doors.
