Now there's a thought.......or she can learn to use the sprayer ready to do the X.  Of course, she won't be spraying Dulux Gloss on that but she can practice....... :P

So the good people at HSS Hire gave me a refund on the HVLP sprayer and gave me the much more expensive airless sprayer for the same price as the HVLP. Works a treat! 2 large rooms done in 2 hours and that included me faffing around so probably both rooms in an hour. Masking has to be done properly but if so then it's easily a faster method if the room is clear.

Result, glad you preserved with the spray option, so much quicker and easier in the end. The results should be very good as well  ;)
