Regardless of the complexity of the repair, it is not always possible to do without painting walls and ceilings. But all sorts of painting using a roller or brush are quite laborious, complex and take up a lot of precious time.
To facilitate this work will help the spray gun for paint, which has the following advantages:
- Using such a device, you can paint a significant area of the room without spending a lot of time and effort.
- It turns out a fairly even thin layer, which significantly reduces the drying time of the paint.
- When using a spray gun less paint is consumed than when painting with another tool.
- When applying paint in this way, it is very unlikely that it will drip onto the floor and stain your clothes.
Choosing a spray gun for paint today is not a problem. The main criterion for choosing an instrument is personal preference and the amount that you can spend on it.
For repairing small volumes, the most elementary tool is suitable, without "bells and whistles". Given the fact that the interior is painted mainly with water-based paints, let's see which paint sprayer is the simplest, most reliable and not very expensive.
The choice begins with determining the type of spray gun. The cheapest and easiest is a hand tool, using which you can paint 100-200 m
2 per hour.
Then follows an electric atomizer. This type is most in demand among beginners painting. Such a spray gun for water-based paint works from a standard 220 V network. To use it, you do not need to use any other additional equipment, as, for example, in the case of a pneumatic tool.
Today, you can see on the shelves of building markets several modifications of spray guns. But the most common and most purchased are airless sprayers.
And finally, a pneumatic spray gun for paint. This type of tool can be considered professional. With it, you can paint almost any mixture. The bulk of pneumatic tools for applying paint coatings works on the principle of air compression.
Any work on the application of paint should begin with the preparation of the mixture. It does not have to be very viscous or very liquid.
Before pouring paint into the spray tank, it must be thoroughly mixed. Aqueous emulsion does not spoil the skin of the hands, so it can be stirred with your hands. During mixing, color is added. You need to know and never forget that in liquid form the paint has a deeper and brighter shade than in the dried form.
Having an idea of the types of sprayers and having decided on the amount of work ahead, we go to the store and buy a spray gun for paint.
What are we paying attention to?
- What material is the atomizer body made of? The best choice would be a body with a corrosion-resistant coating. He will serve you for a long time.
- On the quality of gaskets used for sealing. The best option is Teflon. Why? Because most paints contain a solvent, which can very easily destroy poor-quality sealing material.
- For home painting, the best choice is an electric spray gun for paint. Its price is acceptable. It is compact and easy to use.
Well, the choice is made. Dare, but do not forget that after working the sprayer must be washed.
