Spray painting guns offer numerous advantages to commercial and industrial painters. Discover why this painting method is a favourite among professionals.

THE SPRAY PAINT GUN IS VERSATILE

The spray paint gun is a multi-purpose tool. Traditional painting methods are not always ideal for large surface painting jobs. Brushes and rollers tend to be less practical and less effective for large surface painting requiring lots of paint.

Spray painting guns can paint over different surfaces including brick, wood, metal (iron, aluminum, etc.), stucco, concrete, and aggregate.

The paint particles sprayed with this tool fill in the surface irregularities. The paint particles cover bumps, holes, cracks, fissures, and even nooks and crannies.

THE SPRAY GUN ALLOWS A GREATER PRODUCTIVITY

Indeed, spray painting tools are far more productive than rollers or brushes. You can easily imagine that the roller is not the ideal tool to paint a corrugated aluminum sheet. When you use a paint brush, you spend a considerable amount of time dipping it in paint. You can save time by using a spray gun with a paint sprayer directly connected to a large paint container.

SPRAY PAINTING GIVES A NICE FINISH

A spray gun guarantees a perfect finish, without brush hairs or roller lint stuck to the walls. Furthermore, the thickness of the paint coat is adjustable. Thus, depending on climatic conditions and the product used, you can choose to apply thicker or thinner coats.

Industrial and commercial painters are able to select the best paint based on the type of paint job needed. They will select the paint and painting method better suited in order to get a high-quality result. Evaluating your needs is an essential step before starting to spray any paint.

THE DOWNSIDES OF SPRAY PAINT GUNS

While there are not many downsides to spray-painting guns, those found are the cause of numerous talks. However, those downsides are what gives this paint method a bad reputation from time to time. The first downside is that it’s pretty expensive and it requires proper and precise tools. 

The second is that one could easily damage their car or garage. Combine a windy day with a lack of training and you could end up with specks of paint on your belongings. Which is why we always recommend calling upon a professional painter.
