Using a Paint Sprayer

Using a professional paint sprayer the right way takes some practice, but here are a few tips on how to use a paint sprayer the right way to get professional results in your home DIY projects!

Wipe the tip with a rag occasionally as you go. Dried paint can build up, causing your paint to splatter.

1

Always test a scrap board (preferred) or large piece of cardboard. Anytime you take a break from using the sprayer, always hit the test board first.

2

If, even after cleaning, your paint sprayer won’t spray, check to make sure a pinhole at the top of the plastic tube on the side isn’t clogged.

3

Start by spraying "off the board", meaning engage the sprayer before you are over top of the work product (or cabinet door in this case).

4

Spray all the way across the surface, and let go of the trigger after you are no longer over the spraying surface. This prevents any spitting.

5

You can, let paint sit in the sprayer overnight for additional coats but clean the tip well and place it back on.
