Toss The Messy Paint Brush And Spray Paint Like A Professional

(HIT) - Professional house painters have used them for years; now Do-It-Yourselfers are painting like professional painters using airless sprayers – saving time and effort, and with better results.

When you paint, you want it done fast and what you painted to look its best. You are not only making an investment in your home, but protecting it from the elements.

Airless paint sprayers get tedious painting projects like fences, decks, home exteriors, and garage doors done faster and easier than using a brush or roller. Besides, paint brushes and rollers are a mess and painting with them takes hours to complete a project.

HomeRight Power-Flo Pro Piston Pump Sprayer
With an airless paint sprayer, just pull the trigger to effortlessly release a consistent spray to cover house siding, fences, wicker furniture, shutters and other things that paint brushes cannot reach. A compressor and hoses are not needed. Airless sprayers are equipped with a powerful motor that sprays paint. Many paint sprayers feature easy adjustments for control over painting speed and spray pattern.

Airless paint sprayers come in several configurations and designs but all have the same general features. The basic idea behind how an airless paint sprayer works is that it pumps the paint and pushes it out the tip of the spray gun.

Airless sprayers provide solid, uniform coverage in a fraction of the time of traditional painting methods. Airless sprayers have a spray pattern from 10” to 12” depending on the model.

Airless Paint Sprayers can handle thin to thick materials such as semi-transparent stain, clear wood preservatives, water sealer, varnish, oil-based paint, oil-based stain or latex paint. Some models are better able to spray thicker materials because they have more power that helps flow thicker materials. When painting your next project here are the 5 things to look for in an airless paint sprayer:

  1. Watts – a sprayer with 80 watts will handle thinner materials best, whereas a sprayer with 120 watt will handle thick materials with ease.
  2. Flow or Gallons per Hour – determines how quickly the paint will lay down on the project.
  3. Square Feet per Hour – will help you determine how fast a project can be completed with the sprayer.
  4. Materials – Most sprayers call out which materials are best utilized with which sprayers.
  5. Type of Project – Sprayer packaging should also list if it is best for light, medium, heavy or extra heavy duty projects
