Choosing The Right Paint Sprayers For The Job By Milton Felton At Isnare.com Ezine Articles

Paint sprayers make the job easier and faster!

Pity our pioneer forefathers, who had to paint barns and houses the labor-intensive old-fashioned way. Nowadays we have paint sprayers to do the big jobs for us. Paint sprayers make painting a large surface much easier and faster than with a brush or even a roller. What's more, paint sprayers are less tiring and actually do a better job than brushes, giving a smoother finish than you could get doing it by hand.

As with any other home-improvement project, your first step is to get the right tools for the job you're doing. Paint sprayers differ in their functions and specialties, so you must first match up the equipment with the project.

For staining or waterproofing jobs, you'll want an airless sprayer. For paint jobs, your options vary.

An airless spray paint roller functions the same as a traditional paint roller, with the advantage of not having to keep refilling your tray. Use it for jobs that would normally require a paint roller.

A diaphragm paint sprayer can work with a five-gallon bucket of paint. It should be used for very large jobs, then, such as exterior walls or entire rooms.

For more ordinary jobs such as single walls or small rooms, a high-volume low-pressure sprayer is probably your best bet. They are sold in the usual home-improvement do-it-yourself centers. Being low-pressure is good because it helps prevent paint splashes.

Before buying a paint sprayer, know the type of job you'll be using it for. Ask the salesperson for advice on buying the right equipment. Consider also whether you'll be doing enough paint work to justify buying a sprayer. The old-fashioned way is a good physical workout and is much cheaper. But if the job is big enough to warrant extra equipment, you'll find a sprayer an incredible saver or time and energy.
