Frequently Asked Questions About Airless Paint Sprayers
Q: What are the main advantages of using an airless paint sprayer?
A: Airless paint sprayers offer several key benefits:
- Fast application, capable of spraying up to 2 gallons (approximately 7.5 litres) of paint per minute
- Ability to spray thick coatings and unthinned paints easily
- Extended reach, allowing coverage of up to 12 feet (about 3.7 meters) vertically and horizontally
- Portability and ease of movement between job sites
Q: What types of coatings can be applied with an airless sprayer?
A: Airless sprayers can handle a wide range of coatings, including:
- Primers, enamels, and latex paints
- Specialized industrial coatings like block fillers
- Acrylics and lacquers
Q: How does an airless sprayer work?
A: Airless spray guns operate by pumping paint from a reservoir through a hose and nozzle at extremely high pressures, typically 1500-3000 PSI (10.3-20.7 MPa). This high pressure atomizes the paint into tiny droplets as it exits the nozzle, creating an even spray pattern without the need for compressed air.
Q: What size airless sprayer should I buy?
A: The appropriate size depends on the scale of your projects. Larger units are better suited for bigger jobs, while smaller units may suffice for smaller-scale work. It's important to consider the typical size of your painting projects when selecting a unit.
Q: How do I maintain an airless sprayer?
A: Proper maintenance is crucial:
- Clean the sprayer thoroughly after every use
- Use the appropriate cleaning solution (e.g., water for latex paints)
- Clean filters, housing, gun, and tip regularly
- Use a protectant like Pump Armor after cleaning
Q: What type of hose should I use with an airless sprayer?
A: The hose type depends on the application:
- For pressure rollers, a smaller 3/16" (4.8 mm) diameter hose may be sufficient
- For longer distances, use 3/8" (9.5 mm) hose for the first 100-200 feet (30-60 meters), then 1/4" (6.4 mm) hose for the remainder
- Always use conductive hoses when spraying flammable materials
Q: How long of a hose can I use with my airless sprayer?
A: The maximum hose length varies depending on the sprayer model and material being used.
