Paint sprayers are hand-held tools that are either combined with air, or use other means to convert paint to tiny droplets that are accelerated out through a nozzle. They are used to create deep textures even on contoured surfaces and multi-piece surfaces with hard-to-reach crevices. One of the very common paint sprayers is airless sprayers, which are available in many varieties.

For a quick paint job, nothing beats the power painter. With the press of a trigger, the area required to be painted is done without any dripping or dipping. These sprayers are available in various power ratings and sizes for contractors' and homeowners' precise needs. A basic sprayer includes a gun or roller, hose, power supply and spray tip. Tips are available in different sizes and types for type of covering and different spray patterns being applied. Paint sprayers have two main types of paint powered applicators, airless and airsprays.

Airless units are common for those who work by themselves. Covering material or paint is pushed through an applicator tip under high pressure, terminating the need for a bucket or tray to be reloaded. Overspray and waste is reduced as the pressure is provided by a pump and not air. These sprayers do a great job when painting large areas or walls. The paint capacity varies from a quart self-contained handheld sprayer to an infinite capacity for units that are pumped straight from the paint container. Paint sprayers known as coating specialists or finishers work as either construction site sprayers or production line sprayers. Production line sprayers are used to apply finishes to manufactured products such as new vehicles, yellow goods i.e.: machinery, furniture, construction plant vehicles, machinery and other everyday items. These high-volume, low-pressure sprayers are mobile, light and provide a far superior finish. They make the job faster and less tiring than manual painting, and produce quick work without any overspray. These handheld manipulative power sprayers provide a faster and convenient way to paint either small or large areas, without wastage of any sorts.
