If you have done any kind of painting, you’re probably sick of wielding a painter’s roller or brush. Paintbrushes are good only for small areas, particularly those areas that need thick, intensive coats of paint. Painter’s rollers also lay down a thick coat, but it’s hard on your back and it’s hard to get nice, even coats all the way across. That’s why many painters are attracted to the idea of using Burlington painting sprayers as a substitute for these other labor-intensive methods.

The first question a professional painter asks themselves is if a paint sprayer is needed. Many DIY home renovators assume that a paint sprayer can be used for all projects. Let us first cover some of the negatives of using paint sprayers, to dissuade you of any notions you may have that using a painters sprayer is a cure for all of your problems:

The prep work for using painter sprayers (masking tape, tarps, etc.) is brutal. Literally, every single thing that will not be painted must be covered. There is no “wiggle room” like you might have with painters rollers or brushes.

Cleaning painters sprayers has to be factored into the entire “time cost” of the project.

Painter sprayers on the cheaper end of the scale can often be practically worthless. Contrast this with other remodeling tools, such as lower-end miter saws or cordless drills, which are not exactly miraculous but do the job sufficiently enough to warrant the purchase. But dirt-cheap painter sprayers are usually more trouble than they are worth.
Painter sprayers are a terrible choice for small jobs. You may spend more time with prep work and clean-up than you will with the actual painting.

The best thing about painter sprayers is that they allow you to cover wide swaths with less effort than you would with painter’s rollers or brushes. As an added benefit, painter sprayers allow you to override certain surface imperfections such as bumps, gaps, cracks, and other things that often cause problems for painters rollers or brushes.
Another great thing about painter sprayers is they allow for a more even coat. Even though you still need to be aware of overlapping, as you would with paint rollers, it is far less of a factor when you’re dealing with painter sprayers. Because of the mist and potential for over-spray, painter sprayers are a tough sell for interior painting. On the other hand, painter sprayers are almost made for exterior painting: few problems with overspray, ability to override the inevitable imperfections found on exterior siding, and the ability to cover wide swaths in one motion
