I bought a cheap paint sprayer for a fence job and it cost me a whole weekend

Found a sprayer online for $60, thinking it would save me time on my backyard fence. The thing clogged after about ten minutes of use, and I spent hours trying to clean the nozzle and thin the paint. Ended up finishing the job with a brush and roller, which took two full days. Anyone have a sprayer under $150 that actually works for thicker stuff like stain?

What kind of paint were you trying to spray with it?

Tried using some leftover latex house paint, which was a terrible idea from the start lol. Thinned it way down but it was still like spraying glue. Ended up with more paint on me and the garage floor than on the fence. Clogged the tip so bad I had to take the whole thing apart. Learned my lesson about using the right paint the hard way.
