Make this job easier with a paint sprayer that has the following benefits:

Choosing a paint sprayer today is not a problem. The main criterion for choosing an instrument is personal preferences and the amount you can spend on it.
Suitable for small volume repairsthe most elementary tool, without "bells and whistles". Considering that interiors are mostly painted with water-based paints, let's see which paint sprayer is the simplest, most reliable and not very expensive.
The choice begins with determining the type of spray gun. The cheapest and easiest is a hand tool that can paint 100-200m2 per hour.
Followed by an electric atomizer. This type is most in demand among beginners in painting. Such a spray gun for water-based paint operates on a standard 220 V network. To use it, you do not need to use any other additional equipment, as, for example, in the case of pneumatic tools.
Today you can see several modifications of spray guns on the shelves of construction markets. But the most common and best-selling are airless sprayers.
And finally, a pneumatic paint gun. This type of tool can be considered professional. With it, you can paint with almost any mixture. The majority of air painting tools work on the principle of compressing air.
Start any paint application with the preparation of the mixture. It should not be very viscous or very liquid.
Before pouring paint into the spray bottle, it must be thoroughly mixed. The water emulsion does not spoil the skin of the hands, so it can be stirred with your hands. Duringmixing color is added. You need to know and never forget that in liquid form the paint has a deeper and brighter shade than in dried form.
Having an idea about the types of sprayers and having decided on the amount of work to be done, we go to the store and buy a spray gun for paint.
What are we paying attention to?
- What material is the atomizer body made of. The best choice would be a housing with an anti-corrosion coating. It will serve you for a long time.
- On the quality of gaskets used for sealing. The best option is Teflon. Why? Because most paints contain a solvent that can destroy poor quality sealant very easily.
- For home painting jobs, the electric paint sprayer is the best choice. Its price is acceptable. It is compact and easy to use.
Well, the choice is made. Go ahead, but do not forget that after work, the sprayer must be washed.
