Vehicle manufacturers spray the coating on their cars and trucks when they build them. And these paints are almost exclusively polymers. Yes, polymer paints can be sprayed on. The paint and the manner in which it is applied may vary from job to job, but sprayed on finishes are industry standards. And they have been for a long time. The new automotive finishes were developed by chemists who know polymers inside and out. The finishes are tough, long lasting, and resistant to oxidation and chemical attack. They also resist the abuses of sun and wind borne abrasives, as well as remain flexible to resist chipping. These polymers were always developed with the understanding that they would be sprayed on. It was a given.

Which lasts longer sprayed house paint or brushed?

Sprayed house paint typically lasts longer than brushed paint because the spraying technique applies a more even coat, reducing the chance of drips or uneven thickness. Additionally, sprayed paint often adheres better to surfaces and can penetrate into crevices more effectively. However, proper surface preparation and the quality of the paint used are also crucial factors in determining longevity. Ultimately, the choice between spraying and brushing may depend on the specific project and environmental conditions.


What is high build paint?

A high build paint can be sprayed thicker without running or sagging. This is important when you are trying to get better hiding properties. We use a high build paint for our contractor grade paint on new construction houses. From a Glidden web site I saw that their high build paint could be sprayed up to 20 mils thick, whereas from a Diamond-Vogel web site I saw that their non-high build paint could only be sprayed to a thickness of 4 or 5 mils. Using a high build paint also helps when you are not using a primer because the drywall paper and drywall compound could prematurely suck out the water out of a thinner coat of paint causing the paint to crack or cure improperly.
