Term: airless spraying

Airless spraying is a painting technique that uses a high-pressure pump to atomize paint without the use of compressed air. In this method, paint is forced through a small nozzle or spray tip at very high pressure (typically between 1,500 to 3,000 PSI), creating a fine spray fan that evenly coats surfaces.

This technique is commonly used in commercial and residential painting projects for its speed, efficiency, and ability to produce a smooth, uniform finish on large surfaces such as walls, ceilings, fences, and exteriors. Airless spraying is ideal for applying a wide range of coatings, including latex, acrylics, enamels, and stains.

Key benefits of airless spraying include:

• Faster application compared to brush or roller
• Smooth, even coverage with minimal overspray (when used correctly)
• Ability to handle high-viscosity paints without thinning
• Suitable for large-scale or high-volume projects

In Australia, airless spraying is widely used by professional painters and contractors to meet tight deadlines and deliver high-quality finishes on both new builds and repaints.
