The bigger, slower-moving droplets they create are less likely to drift off as overspray-a plus for small jobs and detail work-but these sprayers’ lower output makes them impractical for covering large expanses. By contrast, the high-volume, low-pressure (HVLP) sprayers often marketed to DIYers atomize paint using low-pressure air streams. And because the droplets they generate are so tiny, airless sprayers are also able to lay down a flawless finish on broad surfaces like cabinets and doors. Such pressures also allow these sprayers to work with coatings of any type, from thin stains to pudding-thick latexes, without any need to adjust their consistency. The pressures are so high-up to 3,000 psi-that the paint explodes from the tip into a fine mist. These sprayers work by pumping coatings through a tiny opening in the gun’s tip. When speed of application is paramount, pro painters go for an airless paint sprayer.
