Questions to Choose the Best Airless Paint Sprayer for You

If you're looking to buy an airless paint sprayer, you likely have some questions about how to pick the right model. But don't worry, asking yourself the right questions ahead of time will help you pick the perfect one for your plans.

 

What will you be using it for?

 

The first thing to think about is how you plan to use your airless paint sprayer. Will you use it for small indoor projects like cabinets and trim? For exterior house painting? For fences, decks, and larger surfaces? The intended use will dictate what size and features you need.

 

For small indoor jobs, a more compact and portable sprayer in the 0.5 GPM range should suffice. For exterior house painting or spraying fences/decks, you'll want a more powerful 1-2 GPM sprayer. Know your main applications so you can match the sprayer's capacity to your jobs.

 

What size projects will you work on?

 

Along with your intended use, consider the size of projects you'll be working on. For small items like furniture or cabinets, you can get by with a smaller airless paint sprayer with a shorter hose. For spraying entire house exteriors or painting larger commercial spaces, you'll need a sprayer with more power and a longer hose for extended reach.

 

The sprayer's GPM (gallons per minute) rating gives you an idea of its size capacity. A 1-2 GPM sprayer is good for whole-home exterior jobs, while a 0.5 GPM sprayer is ideal for indoor uses like cabinets and trim.

 

What coatings will you be spraying?

 

Airless paint sprayers can handle a range of coatings beyond just paint, including latex paint, stains, sealers, primers, enamels, varnishes, and lacquers. Consider what type of coatings you'll need to spray. For heavy materials like elastomeric textures, you'll need a more powerful sprayer, make sure the sprayer can handle all the coatings you plan to apply.

 

Do you need fine finish work?

 

Some airless sprayers allow you to do finer finish work like spraying cabinets, trim, and furniture without excessive overspray. If a smooth factory-like finish is important, look for a sprayer with adjustable pressure and a fine finish needle nozzle, this allows you to dial back the pressure for controlled spray patterns.

 

What sprayer features are most important?

 

Once you know your main applications, think about what specific sprayer features would be most beneficial. If you'll spray at various heights, look for an extension pole to reach higher areas. For larger exteriors, a longer hose will provide more mobility.

 

For fast color changes, consider a sprayer with a soft start valve to reduce pulsation. If you'll spray flammable materials, get an airless sprayer rated for combustibles. Select features tailored to your needs.

 

How portable does it need to be?

 

Portability is key if you'll be moving between job sites frequently. Make sure to check the sprayer's weight and dimensions. Can you lift and transport it comfortably? Does it have a compact cart design or carrying handle?

 

Lighter weight sprayers in the 20-30 lb range offer the best mobility for spraying in multiple locations. Heavier-duty sprayers can weigh 50 lbs or more. Just ensure the level of portability matches your needs.
