Is there a quality advantage to using an air driven as opposed to an airless spray system?

Usually there is. Air driven guns can deliver the paint at a much lower pressure while still atomizing the paint which reduces over spray. Airless sprayers are intended to spray heavier materials, that require higher pressures, over large areas.

You can find some airless paint sprayers at Spray equipment online. There are not many airless paint sprayers with a "2 year warranty" ,but there are plenty that have one year warranty and I would recommend you to get one with a 1 year warranty just ,so you have an easier time finding one.


Is it possible to use high pressure water hose for airless spray painting?

A quick answer is "no". Airless paint sprayers require special hose and using anything else would be dangerous. Typical pressures of an airless pump is between 2000psi and 3000psi. Plus airless hose has special fittings for connecting to the pump and gun.


How is the the paint atomised in the spray?

Paint is pushed through a spray head, either by air, hydraulically or by gravity feed. As it goes through the spray head orifice, it is broken up into small particles that are small enough to either be pushed onto the painting surface by air or in the case of an airless spray, formed into a fan shape by the spray tip.

How the paint sprayer work?

It is a pump. An airless sprayer takes the paint and compresses it (or tries to compress it) so that it comes out of the spray tip at a very high pressure. There are a couple different types. One is a diaphragm type, the other is a piston type. A C.A.P. or HVLP sprayer are different than the airless. They use air pressure to pull the paint out of a receptacle and atomize or disperse the paint with the air.

Using a Wagner piston pump sprayer and getting an uneven finish or paint buildup on new drywall Any suggestions on how to avoid this would be helpful?

Airless spray painters are notorious for uneven spray and should never be used without having someone follow with a roller. The roller evens out the spray pattern and prevents runs and bare spots. Professional painters either have a helper follow or spray a room then "chase" it themselves. If the problem is severe, check the spray tip. If it becomes blocked with a small obstruction, the "fan" will degrade. Always run paint through a strainer before using it in an airless sprayer.


How do you adjust the pressure on a airless paint sprayer?

If there is no air, then you cannot adjust pressure.


Why is an earth wire incorporated in an airless spray material hose?

Because when paint passes through the tip of an airless sprayer it builds a static charge. When spraying an oil, this could cause a spark on an ungrounded system which could in turn, cause a fire. Gas airless sprayers have a wire that needs to be attached to a ground prior to use. Electric airlesses must have the ground plug present whenever material is being sprayed.
