With the rising costs of hiring professional painters, more homeowners are considering tackling painting projects themselves using an airless paint sprayer. While rolling paint onto walls is an option, using a paint sprayer can make the job much easier and faster.

But is buying an airless sprayer worth the investment for the average homeowner? 

How Airless Paint Sprayers Work

Airless paint sprayers work by pushing paint through a small nozzle at very high pressure, which atomizes the paint into a fine mist. The paint is supplied from either a larger metal paint bucket or container attached to the spray gun. Inside the spray gun, a piston or diaphragm creates hydraulic pressure up to 3,000 PSI to push the paint out. This allows a high volume of paint to be applied quickly and evenly onto surfaces.

Airless spray systems are powered by electricity. Most models for home use have motors around 1/2 horsepower, while larger contractor models have 2 horsepower or bigger motors. When you pull the trigger on the spray gun, the motor activates and starts pumping and spraying the paint.

Benefits of Airless Paint Sprayers for Home Use

Speed

Their powerful motors and high pressure allow you to apply paint very quickly and cover large areas in less time. This makes them ideal for painting exterior siding, fences, decks, and other large projects. For interior room painting, an airless sprayer can cut down on time spent prepping and priming walls, allowing you to get right to applying finish coats. The time savings adds up, especially if you have a whole house to paint.

Accessibility

The spray gun and hose on an airless paint sprayer allows you to easily coat areas that may be difficult to reach with a brush, like eaves, ceilings, or high walls. The handheld mobility of the spray gun makes spraying faster and less tiring than working off ladders with brushes or paint trays. Airless sprayers also excel at coating irregular, textured surfaces like stucco or brick. Overall, you can paint hard-to-reach areas faster without compromising on coverage or finish consistency.

Paint Volume and Coverage  

Airless paint sprayers are highly efficient when it comes to paint usage. Their high pressure requires less thinning of paints and provides great transfer efficiency from the pump to the surface. This gives excellent coverage while using less paint volume overall. With careful spraying, overspray and waste can also be minimized.

Type of Paint

Airless sprayers are ideal for spraying thinner paints and stains.omaterials common for home exteriors like latex and acrylic paints will spray easily. Interior latex paint also sprays well, though some thicker specialty finishes may require thinning first. Airless sprayers are typically not recommended for oil-based paints without proper cleanup. Consider the types of paint you'll use most when deciding if a sprayer is practical.

Evaluate the Scope of Your Project

Consider the size of the job you need to complete. Airless sprayers work best for painting large, continuous surfaces like the fences, decks,exterior of a house or painting rooms inside. The prep work, masking, and cleanup required may not make owning an airless sprayer worthwhile for only painting a door or furniture. Larger painting jobs will allow you to maximize the efficiency benefits of airless sprayers.
