Hi, I want to paint a interior brick wall and was wondering if you can use a spray gun ? :)

Yes, you can - but for a single wall you will find it is a lot of prep work.

Just use a roller with a longish nap, or even a paintbrush to help get in the mortar joins.

I would cut and roll with a large wool roller. Spraying is too messy and time consuming for small jobs.

For acrylic paints and most heavy bodied domestic type paints (as opposed to paints designed to be applied by spray guns) you would need to use an airless sprayer ( a bit like a high pressure water blaster) to apply the paint. This is totally impractical unless it's a new building and windows and doors are not yet fitted. Use a long nap roller.
