Paint Sprayers Information

Power sprayers can save you considerable time, particularly on surfaces such as shingle siding. Although there is some disagreement among paint professionals about whether sprayed surfaces are as durable as brushed surfaces, most agree that if the sprayer is used properly, the finish will last just as long as one created with a brush or roller. The most common paint sprayers, known as airless sprayers, come in many sizes.

Sprayers are particularly useful for painting deeply textured, hard-to-reach, or multipiece surfaces with many nooks and crannies, such as eaves, lattices, or even rough stucco. These surfaces will require you to carefully mask the area and put down plenty of drop cloths. Never use a sprayer on windy or even breezy days.

Paint sprayers may be used for a variety of household jobs, from painting your walls to applying stains and wood sealers. A wide selection of products is available, ranging in size, capabilities and price. For protection from paint fumes, always wear a dust mask or respirator when working with any kind of paint sprayer.

Thinking beyond the ordinary paintbrush can open a whole new world of painting tool options. These sprayers can make almost any job easier.
