When painting a house with an air gun, the outside is an OK idea but the interior is a bad idea if someone is currently living there. On the inside, you would have to seal up the doors, windows, air ducts, etc to keep the whole house from getting covered in paint dust.

New, unoccupied construction, both interior and exterior are fine with spray gun.

I'm not sure how much time it will save you on a repaint since you will still need to scape and prime the peeling paint on the outside, then tape off the trim and windows before you spray. Plus if there is even a gentle breeze, you can go through a lot of extra paint.

In my opinion, spray painting should be done in a booth and brush painting outside of a booth.
