How To Paint With A Spray Gun

Homeowners need to spend a lot of time and money on home improvements if they want to keep up the value of their property. That is, as your home ages, it is obviously going to look older, and certain components need to be refreshed or replaced. Of course, as a homeowner, you need to always have an eye on the possibility of selling your home. If you don't do a few things to keep up the value of your property, it could sell well below the market value.

Painting the outside of your home is probably the cheapest and easiest upgrade that can have a big effect on your home value. That is, a home that is freshly painted is always going to be more attractive and more valuable than a home with old, unkempt paint. Best of all, you can even ]do the painting yourself, making the project for more affordable. If you do want to apply a professional quality paint job, you should consider using a pneumatic spray gun system. This article explains how spray gun systems work, and a few tricks that will make your paint job look a little better.

What Type of Spray Gun to Use

There are a few different types of pneumatic spray guns. Portable systems that are battery powered are convenient and great if you need to paint from the top of the latter. However, they have limited tanks, so you often need to spend a lot of time refilling them, which can greatly slow down your overall process. With a compressor system, you can paint for very long periods of time uninterrupted.

Of course, you might need an especially long hose while your painting from the top of a ladder or scaffolding system. When you do use a spray gun, renting a scaffolding system is also something you should consider. It makes it a lot easier and safer to paint the higher levels of your walls.

Renting a Compressor System

If you are going to just rent a spray gun to use during the job temporarily, you will probably just want to use a compressor system. They are more common and more convenient in most cases. One of the biggest differences of painting with a spray gun system is that it requires far more preparation work. That is, you will need to account for overspray and cover a larger perimeter around the walls that you are painting.
