How to Choose the Right Painting System

How to Choose the Right Painting System

Why do I need a Painting System?

Speed:
Each system significantly reduces the time required to complete a painting project.

Ease:
Each system makes a painting project less grueling by reducing bending; reducing the potential for messes when working with open paint containers, paint cans, etc.; and makes it easier to truly get clean versus using brushes and rollers.

Economy:
Saves money versus hiring the job out. They all have the potential to use less paint and get the job done quicker than using manual tools when painting for a living.

How do I choose the right Painting System?

• Campbell Hausfeld makes two categories of powered paint applicators:
Floor Mounted Airless Systems
• HVLP Systems

With Campbell Hausfeld paint sprayers, frequency of use is less of a consideration than the types of coatings to be sprayed when choosing a painting system.

If you only spray thin coatings, such as lacquer, polyurethane, etc., any of our airless sprayers will do the job. The choices then become preference issues:
• Wheels or No Wheels.
• Hose Length Included.
• Gun Type Included.
• Control System.

When stepping up to interior and exterior paints, the maximum tip size of the sprayer is what should be considered:
• Maximum tip size .015" - thin coatings, oil based coatings, economy latex coatings.
• Maximum tip size .017" - those listed above plus premium latex coatings and economy primers.
• Maximum tip size 0.19" - those listed above plus premium primers and dry fall/dry fog.
• Maximum tip size .021" - those listed above plus elastomerics.

To be sure - consult the coating manufacturer for the recommend tip size for spray application.

With the exception of the consumer Easy Spray HVLP models, frequency of use is less of a consideration than the types
• of coatings and projects when choosing a system.
• All of our HVLP systems will spray latex.
• The smaller the turbine, the more varieties of latex paints that are likely to require thinning.
• The size of the turbine will also determine how fine the mist created can get.
If your projects require a high degree of craftsmanship, a larger system will better satisfy your needs.
