Articles | Paint Sprayers Save Half the Time in Painting and Cost

Paint sprayers are useful tools. They drastically cut down on your work both by the even coatings and rapid manners of applying paint. The result is paint applied quickly and efficiently allowing you to get back to life.

The idea of spray painting first occurred in 1892 by Frances David Millet. Paint sprayers are operated through the use of a trigger. The paint is released through the air from a pressurized chamber applying even coatings of paint onto the surface being painted. The paint sprayer applies paint without any drips. Don't worry about dripping paint again. Don't worry about buying rollers, brushes, or trays again.

What's even better about paint sprayers is that you save on paint because you don't have to go over the same stretch of wall twice trying to apply even coatings by hand. Because you use half the paint and complete your painting in half the time, you save on half the cost of paint which makes the paint sprayer pay for itself after just a few uses.

Paint sprayers have the ability to do a complete job with just one coating of spray. Traditional methods of applying paint with a roller and brush requires several coatings as they are uneven going on. Paint sprayers get into all of the nooks and crannies efficiently cutting down on the time spent on painting.

Paint sprayers work indoors as well as outdoors. Paint sprayers can be used on a multitude of surfaces. Outdoor painting can be done on concrete, flat walls, brick, stucco, concrete, and paneling. Indoor painting can be done on ceilings, wood, and also flat walls.

Paint spraying takes some practice and getting use to. It is recommended to spray with water first to get a feel for how the paint will spray out and how to accomplish an even coating of paint on the surface you are painting.
Stay at a consistent distance when paint spraying to achieve a consistent flow and coating of paint. Start off moving your arm side to side at equal distance until you have achieved the desired result. From thence, you can start painting at a larger distance from the wall. 12 inches is a good distance to stand away from the wall or surface you wish to paint. The further you are from the surface you want to paint, the wider the area of spray.

To paint the inside of the house, you will need to clear away all furniture and all decorations. You will need to use drop cloths to cover the carpet/floor. Use yellow tape on surfaces next to the wall you do not wish to paint. Fill in any holes there are in the wall and allow those to dry before painting. You will need to primer these patches because once you paint, these patches will soak up the paint causing an inconsistent look revealing where the patches were.

There are different nozzles to achieve different patterns in paint. Paint in even strokes and go over each last stroke by 50% to ensure an overall even coating. Painting corners is usually a two-step process with the traditional roller and paint brush method. However, with a paint sprayer, the process is easy. When spraying into corners, spray directly into the corner spraying paint on both sides to get an even look from wall to wall.

Spray painting saves a ton of time, a ton of paint, and a ton of money. Learning how to spray paint has never been easier. This method is the best for solution to painting.
