Do you have a lot of surface area to paint? Maybe you want to avoid ugly brushstrokes embedded in the finish when it dries? Maybe you need to finish the paint job quickly and don't have time to paint more?

You need a paint sprayer.

The paint sprayer allows you to spray a uniform paint coating with a brush or roller in a short period of time. Maybe you need to repaint your car? The brush will never do the job.

There are a variety of electric paint sprayers to choose from-it can be a bit confusing to know which is best for your particular job. Therefore, without further ado, we will help you determine which paint sprayer is right for you and the perfect sprayer for your specific situation.

3 different types of paint sprayers

The main options are airless, compressed air and HVLP. The type you need depends on the type of job and your professional level.

Each type includes a reservoir for the paint of your choice, and a method of spraying liquid from the container through the tip of the sprayer.

Airless sprayer

The airless paint sprayer uses an electric pump to push the paint through the tip of the paint sprayer, exerting extremely high pressure on the paint storage tank. The paint is forced through the tip of the sprayer, and the sprayer will fan the tiny droplets sticking to the desired surface; it dries on a glass-smooth surface.

The Bottom Line

If you are considering buying or hiring a paint sprayer, the type of work you need to perform should be an important consideration.

If you are a complete beginner and are looking for a more professional home interior paint job, then HVLP may be your system.

If you have enough space to paint quickly and get a professional finish, airless sprayers are the best option-but they require some practice to be perfect.

For small jobs with higher pressure systems, compressed air is a popular choice and requires less skill.
