7 Best Paint Sprayers of 2024

This Graco could so easily have won the professional category. It has adjustable pressure to give you total control over the paint flow to help you tackle different size tasks, and the piston pump allows you to spray the paint without any thinners.

You don’t even need to pour the paint in because this model is equipped with a flexible hose that allows you to suck the paint straight from the can or bucket. And the flow rate hits 0.27 GPM, even with sucking paint straight from the tin.

This sprayer loves to work hard. Graco recommends that it should spray at least 125 gallons every year, so once again, if you are a professional, it fits the bill. And once you are done, it connects to a garden hose for easy cleaning.

If your project is extensive, you can increase the sprayer’s reach with up to 75 feet of additional hose. It’s lightweight, compact, and gives you continuous runtime, thanks to the reversible 0.15-inch tip that allows you to swap it around when clogging occurs.

While this is not the most expensive paint sprayer you can buy, it is still costly. If you are looking for a sprayer for a one-off job, avoid this model. Plus, the largest recommended nozzle size is 0.15 inches.

This Fuji paint sprayer is a step up in performance and quality, but they certainly make you pay for the privilege. You get a no-bleed gun with an adjustable fan pattern for increased control, as well as a 400cc gravity cup.

Fan pattern control allows you to decrease the paint waste and lets you paint vertically, horizontally, and in circular motions. You can also adjust 1-inch circular to 12-inch oval patterns in the blink of an eye.

You also get a powerful 1,400-watt 2-stage motor and a 25-foot Hi-Flex hose. It disassembles easily for efficient maintenance and cleaning, and it has stainless steel fluid passages to keep wear and tear to a minimum, especially solvent and waterborne paints.

The stay-cool handle is ergonomically designed to reduce stress on your hands and wrists, and the guns are convertible from gravity-fed to bottom-fed to cater to different tasks.

The major sticking point with this paint sprayer is the cost. It costs multiple times the price of other models. It’s also a heavy machine, weighing over 25 pounds, so maneuverability might be an issue.

This is the paint sprayer for every task you can think of. It’s a high-volume, low-pressure system, so it lends itself to smaller jobs like painting kitchen cabinets and table-tops, but you can still use it to respray fencing and other applications.

You get 3 different tips for various applications, a material flow controller and round, horizontal and vertical spray patterns. As you would expect for a DIY paint sprayer, it has a weaker motor with 450 watts of power, but that’s plenty for smaller projects.

You get between 20 and 50 GPM depending on the applications, and when you are done painting, it cleans easily using soap and water for water-based paints and mineral spirits for oil-based materials.

The only downside with this paint sprayer is the reservoir size. At 39 fluid ounces, you will have to stop every couple of meters to refill the chamber. It also struggles to spray unthinned paints, thanks to the low wattage.

That said, this spray gun is the perfect all-around tool. It is lightweight and easy to master.

This is the only pneumatic spray gun to feature on the list. The great thing about this spray gun is it comes with an instruction manual for beginners, telling you how to set up the air supply, dial the adjustable fan size and flow rate, and a host of other useful things.

The fan adjusts up to 11 inches in size from an 8-inch distance, speeding up tasks, and thanks to the metal sealed paint cup, you can hold the gun at any angle without fear it will leak.

The downside with air tools is they need an air compressor, which adds to your costs. This one requires a 7 to 12 cubic feet per minute (CFM), 3 horsepower compressor. However, because it’s an air tool, it’s lightweight and inexpensive compared to others in its class.

Using this sprayer is noisy, thanks to the compressor, and you are also restricted because the air compressor anchors you, making everything less maneuverable.

This Wagner Spraytech uses high volume and low pressure to atomize paint, so it spreads using fine particles to cover more evenly to give a smoother finish. The powerful 2-stage turbine makes it possible to use this sprayer with latex paints and stains as long as thinner is used.

You can customize your settings using the flow adjuster and the pressure control dial to cater to different applications, making it incredibly versatile. It covers furniture, table-tops, decks, and anything else you can think of.

The base connects with a 20-foot hose, giving you the freedom to move about unrestricted, which is great when working outdoors on garden projects.

You get 3 spray patterns: round, vertical and horizontal, plus you can opt between a gravity-fed 1.5-quart cup and a metal 1-quart bottom-fed cup. The flow rate is 13 ounces per minute, which is less than some models, and you will spend quite a lot of time stopping to refill the cups.

When you need a flexible paint sprayer to cope with painting furniture, having five different nozzles is a real bonus. This one comes equipped with tips ranging from 1.2mm to 3.0mm, to give you the versatility you need.

It has vertical, horizontal, and round spray settings, a 500-watt motor, and a 1,000ml paint container. You can regulate the paint flow by adjusting the control knob to get different outputs, suitable for large and intricate applications.

This sprayer is easy to assemble, easy to use, and simple to clean. It’s also lightweight and comes with a 6.6-foot power cord for increased maneuverability.

The HVLP technology produces a finer paint mist that coats more evenly and is better for working at close quarters to achieve greater detail.

However, some customers complain that they struggle to get an even coating, and the nozzle blocks after a couple of seconds.

This 600-watt HVLP paint sprayer has an adjustable flow control knob for precise output, so you can work on many different projects and surfaces. You also get 3 spray patterns and 4 nozzles ranging from 1.5mm to 2.6mm.

You also get a 1,000ml paint cup and a 6.6-foot power cord. The viscosity measuring cup means you can control the pigment to get an effective and smooth finish.

The paint needs a thinner to help it flow, or the gun will clog, and it is intended for home and DIY applications rather than professional use. The price tag means this paint sprayer is the perfect model for beginners to learn their craft.

It’s also the ideal model when you only have one job to complete and don’t want to spend a fortune on a top-end paint sprayer. Think respraying the garden fence once every 3 or 4 years, and you get the idea.

Not surprisingly, it feels cheaply made and contains many plastic elements, and some customers have reported that after a short amount of use, the gun clogs and stops working.

That said, it is the budget model, and it only costs a fraction of other featured paint sprayers.
