Power Up with a Paint Sprayer
Whether you're a homeowner looking to make a few small changes or a full-time contractor, a powered paint sprayer makes the job a lot easier. Find one that matches your needs, from applying stain to flooring to giving a room a new look on the walls.
Quick Tips to Handle Your Paint Sprayer
Make the most of your painter and your project. Remember the following:
- Thoroughly prepare the area to be painted or stained.
- Spray painting requires a steady hand. Hold the applicator parallel to wall when using. Don't flex your wrist.
- Sprayers offer excellent coverage, but expect more wasted paint than with a brush or roller.
- Sprayed paint will dry quickly, more so than when applied by brush.
- Clean the paint sprayer after each use. There will be a lot of parts to clean, but cleanup is no more difficult than conventional brushes and rollers.
