What is an Airless gun?

The Airless gun is a device that sprays paint using high pressure, without using compressed air.

It is particularly appreciated for its ability to cover large areas quickly and with a uniform finish.

1. Operation of the Airless gun

The Airless gun works by projecting paint through a fine nozzle, under high pressure (generally between 150 and 250 bars).

This technique transforms liquid paint into a fine mist that is deposited evenly on the surface.

Main components:

• High pressure pump:

To generate the necessary pressure.

• Spray gun:

To control the application.

• Interchangeable nozzles:

To adjust the flow rate and spray width.

2. Difference between Airless and other methods

Unlike traditional systems (brush, roller) or compressed air guns, the Airless system is faster, produces less fog and offers better coverage.

Advantages of Airless Painting

Using an Airless spray gun has many advantages that make it a preferred choice for large painting projects.

1. Quick application

The Airless gun allows you to cover a large surface in record time, ideal for projects such as facades, ceilings or interior walls.

Localized example:

In Sainte-Maxime, a 100 m² apartment was painted in one day using an Airless system.

2. Uniform finish

Thanks to high-pressure spraying, the paint is distributed evenly, without brush or roller marks.

3. Versatility

The Airless system is compatible with a wide range of products: paint, varnish, stain, and even certain suitable coatings.

4. Less waste

With proper control, the Airless gun minimizes paint loss by ensuring precise application.

Steps to Using an Airless Spray Gun

To achieve optimal results, it is essential to follow certain steps when using an Airless gun.

1. Surface preparation

Make sure the surface to be painted is clean, dry and free from dust or grease.

2. Preparing the paint

Thin the paint if necessary, following the manufacturer's recommendations.

Filter it to avoid particles that could clog the nozzle.

3. Setting the device

Choose the appropriate nozzle depending on the type of paint and the desired spray width.

Also adjust the pressure to avoid dripping or fogging.

4. Applying the paint

Hold the gun approximately 25 cm from the surface. Spray with regular, parallel movements to ensure even coverage.

5. Cleaning the device

After use, clean the device immediately to prevent paint from drying inside the system.
