How to use power spray painters

Take the hassle out of painting and use a power spray painter.

There’s a choice of little handy packs with their own mini compressors all the way up the scale to big compressors. They all make the job easy and help give a professional finish.

Why spray painting is great

• Fast: About three times quicker than using a paintbrush.

• Use less paint: Apply in thin layers to get a smooth look with less paint.

• Consistent: Distributes the paint evenly to give a smooth, professional finish.

• Versatile: Spray guns can be used on walls, floors and ceilings too.

• Useful: Spray guns are great for oddly-shaped objects with hard-to-reach areas, such as cabinets and louvres, and textured surfaces such as wicker, or fences.

• Crafty: Spray painting works a treat with patterned templates to create decorative effects.

Always keep the compressor in a well-ventilated area away from the spray area. Never extend the power cord; use a pneumatic hose to extend your reach.
