You’re standing there and looking at the old worn out paint on the picket fence just dreading getting out the paint brushes to apply a fresh coat of paint. There is another way to apply the paint which is less labor intense and you won’t need a paint brush. You can you use an airless paint sprayer. Painting with an airless paint sprayer is not just reserved for professional painters.

Many DIY homeowners put away their paint brushes and switched to paint sprayers. Paint sprayers are cost-effective and can get the job done in a hurry. There is no need for the mess that is typically created when painting with paint brushes and you can get the finish you want using less paint.

Typically painting with an airless paint sprayer is about ten times faster than painting with a paint brush and four times faster than a paint roller. You also get a clean, smooth finish every time as opposed to the brush strokes you get when using a paint brush.

When looking for a paint sprayer to purchase there are basically two main types to choose from. First, there is the high volume low pressure (HVLP) paint sprayer. Its only drawback is that it slowly applies paint. However, they are the best paint sprayer for small home projects such as cabinets or doors. These paint sprayers are typically used for more detailed, finer finishes with little overspray.

The second choice is the airless paint sprayers which are used for larger projects like houses and fences. They are generally more powerful and pump out much more paint than HVLP sprayers.

Before purchasing a paint sprayer first determine what you want to paint. There’s a huge difference between wanting to paint the entire exterior of your house and wanting to paint a simple door craft project. If you’re only looking to paint small projects, you don’t want to waste money buying a large expensive paint sprayer.

Large paint sprayers generally operate between 2,000 and 3,000 psi and are not intended for the DIY homeowner. Typically, these are for industrial uses and used to paint large projects. If all you want to paint is your front gates, a door or other small jobs you do not need a large commercial spray painter.

The Wagner paint sprayer is an excellent airless paint sprayer for the DIY homeowner. The paint container that is attached to the bottom of the apparatus holds approximately a quart of paint and runs off of standard 120 AC household current. It is great for small and medium paint jobs around the house and cost under a hundred dollars. It beats the heck out of painting with a paint brush.
