Choosing the right size sprayer is key to getting a smooth, professional finish while saving time and effort. The best size for you depends on the scale of your project and the type of material you'll be spraying. Use this guide to find the perfect fit:

Handheld Paint Sprayers

Compact and lightweight, handheld sprayers are ideal for small jobs, touch-ups, and detail work, especially in tight or awkward spaces. Most come with a built-in 1-litre paint pot, making them highly portable and easy to use for DIY tasks or on-the-spot jobs.

Best for: Furniture, fences, trims, and small surfaces.

Medium-Sized Paint Sprayers

These sprayers are often mounted on a cart or stand and are designed for medium-scale projects. They can hold up to 5 litres of paint in an external hopper or draw directly from a standard paint bucket. This size offers a great balance between mobility and output.

Best for: Interior rooms, exterior walls, sheds, and small commercial spaces.

Large-Scale Paint Sprayers

Built for big jobs, these high-capacity sprayers are typically cart-mounted and designed to cover large areas quickly. They handle anywhere from 50 to over 100 litres of paint and can be connected to external paint supply systems for continuous spraying without frequent refills.

Best for: Warehouses, industrial units, ship hulls, or large-scale renovations.

Specialised High-Volume Systems

These systems are tailored for industrial-scale or high-demand applications, such as coating infrastructure or pipelines. Often featuring multiple spray heads and large reservoirs, they're designed for non-stop operation in demanding environments.

Best for: Production lines, infrastructure projects, and heavy-duty industrial coating.

Still not sure?

If you're unsure which size is right for your project, remember this rule of thumb:

• Small jobs = small sprayer
• Medium jobs = medium sprayer
• Large/industrial jobs = high-capacity system
