OT: Paint Sprayers (home use) - Urgent

Greetings !
Last week we had all the interior doors in our house replaced (12 to be precise). Now since we had to take out all the clothes and assorted cleaning and other products out, it seems like a good time to paint INSIDE the closets. There are 12 closets and I decided that rather than break my back with a roller for THREE coats (primer, 1st coat and top coat), I went to home depot in search of a paint sprayer. Gotta finish this before Christmas (and have no time off from work), as our clothes are all over the house like we are about to move without telling the bank.!

Now I am truly a novice at this..so I took the advice of the store manager who pointed me to the Wagner Spray Tech Paint Crew XTRA for $200. When I got home and did some research it appears like this is REALLY meant for BIIGGG jobs like painting outside of houses, garages etc, not 3 coats in a dozen closets. I also freaked when I read that I need to buy a complete suit including goggles and a respirator (ok, call me an a-hole for not checking this out in advance..)

So I come to you my almighty X5 friends for advice
A) It's no big deal. Use it and just practice and your'll be fine
B) Return it and get something smaller like a Wagner power roller which pumps paint into the roller and avoids having to bend over30 times to refill the "hopper"
C) Forget it altogether and hire a couple of college kids and have a coke and a smile
D) Insert your suggestion here........

I'd appreciate your feedback as I'm ususally lead in the right direction by fellow X5world family !

Thanks
Ed
