What are the spray guns?

1. Manual. This is the simplest, and naturally, the cheapest option. It consists of a pump and a so-called fishing rod. The paint is sprayed with a fishing rod, and the pressure in the reservoir is created using a hand pump.

What should I pay special attention to when choosing a spray gun:

• The material of which the body is made. It is advisable to choose aluminum with nickel anti-corrosion coating. The spray gun for water-based paint with a plastic body is lighter, but less reliable.
• Lattice with holes on the lid of the nozzle. It should be aluminum, and even better - stainless steel or brass.
• Quality of gaskets. The composition of many paints includes a solvent, which can corrode poor-quality gaskets. The most reliable option is teflon gaskets.

As for the location of the tank, then there is no fundamental difference. And as for the material, the metal tank is better washed, but in a container made of nylon it is easy to determine the level of paint.

The most convenient and compact option are electric spray guns. They can be carried on the back with a belt, which greatly simplifies the painting work.
