Painters and Decorators Guide Spray Painting Application

Spray Painting Application is becoming more widely used among painters and decorators in both residential and commercial markets. This is firstly because a perfect finish can be achieved with no brush marks, and the time of completion can be reduced when used appropriately.

In this article we are going to discuss several aspects of spraying including the different types of spray painting equipment, pros and cons of spray painting application, and where spraying is likely to increase efficiency and profits on a painting and decorating job.

For painting and decorating there are two forms of spray equipment that would be appropriate. These include Airless spraying and Fine Finishing Sprayers.

Airless Spray Systems are the larger of the 2 machines and in themselves can vary vastly in size. Airless spraying systems are typically used in larger areas. For instance, large ceiling and wall areas on a commercial job. Airless systems kick out a lot of paint, so you typically get larger amounts of overspray rendering them inappropriate when a delicate hand is required. As all sprayers take time to set up and clean up afterwards, if the job in hand is not particularly large the decorator may find that the traditional method may even be quicker and less hassle. But certainly in large areas, an airless spray can cover much more ground than a roller and brush increasing efficiency and profits.

Fine Finishing Systems are considerably smaller in size than their airless counterparts. Fine finishing systems are 'high volume low pressure' air systems. In basic terms, they are essentially a spray gun on one end and an air blower on the other attached by a hose. The paint itself is in a can on the spray gun and is pressurized. High quality Fine Finishing sprayers, unlike airless systems, can do very intricate work and can produce a spray diameter of as little as 5 mm with virtually no overspray. These systems can complete doors, frames, skirting boards, and other woodwork much quicker than painting with a brush so in many cases it is far quicker and more efficient than the traditional method.

Pros of spray application

- Extremely quick and efficient

- Fantastic flat finish is achieved

Cons of spray application

- High end sprayers can be expensive to buy

- Setting up and cleaning up takes longer than the traditional method

- Masking up

Spray application at its best

- Large environments where no masking up is required from the painter and decorator (Airless Sprayer).

- Intricate panelled doors where a brush may take an hour to complete, spraying can achieve a better finish in minutes (Fine finishing sprayer).

- Intricate beams in commercial and residential environments (Fine finishing sprayer).

- High end properties where a perfect finish is required.

- Areas where wall and ceiling is the same colour. This can reduce 4 hours work to 20 minutes.

Conclusion

A professional Painter and Decorator will often choose a mixture of spray application and traditional application to achieve a great finish and to reduce the time of completion. Spray application where used appropriately can clearly be a great asset to a painting and decorating firm.
