Air Paint Sprayers

Air paint sprayers use compressed air to atomize coatings, delivering fast, smooth, and consistent finishes with superior control. Ideal for cabinetry, trim, furniture, doors, and automotive panels, these spray guns excel at fine finishing where detail and surface quality matter. With adjustable fan patterns, fluid flow, and air pressure, you can dial in a soft, even spray that reduces orange peel, tiger striping, and runs.

There are three common types: HVLP (high volume low pressure) for high transfer efficiency and reduced overspray, LVLP for lower CFM compressors and touch-up work, and conventional guns for maximum atomization on demanding coatings. With the right needle and nozzle, air sprayers handle lacquers, enamels, urethanes, waterborne finishes, stains, clear coats, and primers. Thicker latex often needs thinning and a larger tip.

Choosing the best air paint sprayer starts with your projects and compressor. Gravity-feed guns offer great transfer efficiency and quick color changes. Siphon-feed suits larger batches. Pressure-pot systems are excellent for long runs, interiors of cabinets, and reduced cup refills. Match nozzle sizes to materials: 1.2–1.4 mm for clear coats and enamels, 1.5–1.8 mm for general purpose, 1.7–2.0+ mm for primers. Verify compressor output (CFM at working PSI) meets the gun’s requirements. Look for stainless wetted parts for waterborne coatings, a precise regulator, moisture filtration, and quality hoses.

For best results, strain and thin coatings per the manufacturer, test your spray pattern on cardboard, set gun pressure at the handle regulator, and maintain a consistent 6–8 inch distance with a steady overlap to keep a wet edge. Clean immediately after use with the proper solvent or water, lubricate moving parts, and replace filters regularly. Always use a respirator, eye protection, gloves, and good ventilation.

Find and compare air paint sprayers, HVLP spray guns, nozzles, cups, and accessories to match your compressor and finish goals—perfect for cabinets, furniture, doors, and automotive refinishing.
