Have you been considering
painting the interior or exterior of your home but dread the labor that
lies ahead? Fortunately, you do not have to hate the prospect of
painting when you use a paint sprayer or spray gun. This equipment has
changed the way in which people paint for personal and commercial
purposes, around the world. Best of all, depending on the size of your
project, you will find a number of paint sprayer / spray gun options, as
well as varying price ranges.
To begin, using a paint sprayer or spray gun is by far the least
expensive way to paint over traditional options of using a brush,
roller, or regular spray. Keep in mind that the more irregular the
surface being painted, the more advantageous your paint sprayer or spray
gun. An excellent option is the airless paint sprayer or spray gun that
has a pumping unit, hose, and gun. For this particular design, you do
not require any compression since the paint is pumped through a hose
specifically for high pressure. The paint is then forced through small
tips in the nozzle, allowing the paint to apply to the surface in a
number of patterns.
The result is that the surface is sprayed with paint that is fanned out,
giving you better coverage and using less paint. The primary advantage
of this paint sprayer or spray gun is that with no air being forced for
the paint to be sprayed, you will have only minor over-spray, meaning
the paint lands on the intended surface and not misted on everything in
the room. The tip you choose will change the amount of paint sprayed by
your paint sprayer or spray gun as well as the pressure used. In most
cases, the tips for paint sprayer or spray guns come in thousands of an
inch, each specific to a type of paint.
When you get ready to paint using your new paint sprayer or spray gun,
you will need to mix paint in a 5-gallon bucket. For instance, if you
need four gallons to paint a particular room, rather than use one gallon
at a time, pour all four gallons into the bucket. This ensures that the
paint color is consistent throughout the room. Before using your paint
sprayer or spray gun, mask off baseboards, windows, or any surface that
you do not want painted. Additionally, you will need to wear a spray
mask to keep mist and dust from being breathed.
When you visit your local hardware or home improvement store to buy your
paint sprayer or spray gun, you should consider investing in an
extension gun, which will make reaching those high or out-of-the-place
surfaces easier to reach. This also eliminates you from climbing up and
down a ladder. When you get ready to start using your paint sprayer or
spray gun, insert the suction tube from the pump into the bucket and
ensure all the fittings are securely fastened.
Paint sprayer or spray guns typically have two control knobs. One is a
pressure knob, and one is a re-circulate knob. When you paint with your
paint sprayer or spray gun in the re-circulate knob, the paint will
re-circulate through the sprayer, eliminating any trapped air and
allowing the sprayer to pump. This will allow your spray gun to work
more effectively.
People who paint with a paint sprayer or spray gun tend to make one
common mistake. They use way too much pressure. Remember that you only
need enough pressure to create a fan spray that is even and without
“tails.” If you find that you have too much pressure from the paint
sprayer or spray gun, simply decrease the pressure using the pressure
knob until the desired result is achieved. Additionally, each time the
trigger is pulled, follow the exact same routine. Keep in mind that the
very second you squeeze the trigger, the paint comes out - there is not
delay.
When using a paint sprayer or spray gun, be sure to wear long sleeves
and pants, gloves, and protective eye wear. Since the tips of these
sprayers or spray guns typically reaches as high as 2,000 to 3,000 psi,
if the paint touches the skin, it could cause injury. What happens is
that the paint can actually be injected into the skin. If that happens,
get to a hospital immediately! Because paints are toxic, you will need
to be treated without delay.
