Powered Painters and Sprayers

Power painters are available in gas-powered, electric or cordless models.
Professionals use compressed air systems.
Airless units are the most common for the do-it yourselfer. In an airless model, the paint is pumped to the applicator, eliminating the need to reach to a bucket or tray to reload.
Applicators are available in various sizes and types of brushes, rollers, and the spray nozzle type.
Power rollers offer fingertip control of the paint supply. Once you get the hang of it, they can cover a room quickly.
Sprayers offer the best coverage, but expect more wasted paint than with a hand- powered paint applicator. Sprayed paint will dry quickly. Because of the small opening, spray nozzles can clog. When you're finished, there will be a lot of parts to clean.
