How To Use A Paint Sprayer
Introduction
Paint sprayers can be huge time savers if you want to paint large areas and don’t need to be precise. Paint sprayers are great for uneven and rough surfaces. Paint sprayers work by pumping paint out of a bucket through a hose and the paint exits through a nozzle that you hold in your hand. Paint spraying can be messy because the paint travels through the air but it is a great painting tool.
Difficulty: Moderate
Things You'll Need:
- Strainer
- Long sleeve shirt
- Gloves
Instructions
Step 1
Cover anything in the area that you are painting that you don’t want to get paint on. Spray paint can move easily in the air and settle in places you never expected so cover up well. If you are spraying outside, don’t forget to cover any cars nearby.
Step 2
Wear protective clothing. Put on a long sleeve shirt and gloves. Be sure that you don’t mind getting paint on your clothes because that is inevitable.
Step 3
Pour paint into a bin or a bucket. Use a strainer when you pour to remove lumps from the paint.
Step 4
Spray the paint. Start in a top corner and work your way down. Use smooth and steady strokes. It is best to paint a number of light coats rather than one heavy coat.
Warning
If you’re spraying outside, don’t spray on a windy day.
