Spray Guns — Faster Coverage, Better Finishes

Oct 28 2025 0 Comments

Cut project time and level up finish quality with the right spray gun. Paintworld’s spray range covers airless, HVLP, and gravity-feed options for everything from quick wall repaints to ultra-smooth cabinetry and fences. Pair your gun with the correct tip/needle set and hose, and you’ll put down consistent film build with fewer passes and less overspray.

Pick the Right System for the Job

Airless (walls, ceilings, exteriors)
High output and fast coverage with the correct tip and pressure settings—ideal for broad surfaces and primers.

HVLP (furniture, doors, trim)
Lower pressure for fine atomisation and reduced overspray—great where detail and control matter.

Gravity-Feed / Conventional (spot work, small batches)
Quick colour changes and excellent control for smaller areas, patching, or metallics.

Tip: You’ll find core pro brands like Graco, Wagner, and TriTech on Paintworld. Paint World

What You’ll Notice with a Well-Matched Gun

  • Smoother finishes on trim, doors and furniture (right needle/nozzle)

  • Faster square-metre coverage for walls and fences (correct airless tip size/fan)

  • Less masking & cleanup when HVLP is used for detail work

  • Reduced fatigue with ergonomic contractor guns and extensions

Quick Buyer’s Checklist

  1. Substrate & coating: walls/exterior → airless; trim/cabinetry → HVLP/fine-finish; small jobs → gravity-feed.

  2. Tip/needle set: match viscosity and desired fan (e.g., RAC X latex tips for walls).

  3. Atomisation control: ensure your gun/needle supports your topcoat (enamels vs water-borne acrylics).

  4. Duty cycle: frequent use calls for pro-grade bodies, swivels and filters.

  5. Accessories: extensions, whip hoses and in-handle filters improve ergonomics and finish.

FAQs — Spray Guns

Which spray gun is best for interior walls?
An airless setup with the correct tip (e.g., general latex tips) delivers fast, even coverage on walls and ceilings. See Spray Guns and Graco brand pages for compatible guns and tips. Paint World+1

HVLP vs airless—when should I choose HVLP?
Use HVLP for fine finishes on doors, trim, and furniture where overspray control and atomisation quality matter more than speed.

What tip size should I use?
Match tip to coating viscosity and target fan width. Broad walls generally use larger orifice fan tips; trim/fine-finish needs smaller, precision tips (check listing details on the brand pages). Paint World

Can I spray water-borne and solvent-based coatings with the same gun?
Most pro guns can handle both with the right needle/seals—always confirm spec sheets and clean between products.

Do I need special hoses or extensions?
Airless rigs benefit from whip hoses and tip extensions for ceiling/wall reach and finish consistency; see brand accessories. Paint World
