While buying a sprayer you should know about the basics to get the best results. Here we have discussed some topics on the professional airless paint sprayer.

Before selecting one airless paint sprayer, you may ask a few questions. What could be those? Why do you need an airless sprayer, when there is more in the market? The real issue is the finish of the sprayer. Other sprayers come with different types of finish and texture, but airless paint sprayer gives smooth and milk like finish on the surface. Even the corners, sealers are painted well with these types of sprayer.
Paint Type: Generally the paint sprayers are similar, but we need those which can handle oil-based paints and varnish properly. Some can manage water-based paints and some others can paint with oil-based. Those managing the oil-based paints have good cleaning and maintaining features that are a perfect fit for all types of projects. Also, the painting hose and other features should be checked to get the expected result.
Tank Size: Spraying in a large project and it needs continuous paint flow to the sprayer. So, we need a good sprayer to store a good amount of paint or can directly get paint from the paint bucket. Refilling the sprayer each 10 min will hamper the task seriously. So, a heavy-duty sprayer with a direct paint spray feature will do the trick.
Paint Hose: We will need a paint sprayer that supports a longer paint hose to reach the whole external wall of the house and any corners. Even, we may need to reach up to the second story or the third story of the house to paint. General sprayers support 20-30ft hose, but we will prefer those ones that support above 50ft. That will save the day.
Paint Coat: Paint sprayers have different types of painting features. Some come with thinness and some are unthinned. Unthinned spraying is a good thing to maintain. Some sprayers have limitations for Water-based Paints, but that will not work for our external task, as we will work with oil-based paints. As our main requirement is Airless spraying, this feature ensures the perfect output for our indoor and outdoor project. With most types of compatibility, the perfect sprayer will serve our purpose well.
Project Size: Generally large projects require better equipment. We need to choose our sprayer according to our project size. It needs a sprayer that is portable and easy to spray. Moreover, hose size is also a considerable fact. From the very beginning, if we look into these issues, we can choose the perfect sprayer to manage the task.
Cleaning: Cleaning oil-based sprayers are a little bit tough. Those leave stains and oily substance to the sprayer. If it is not cleaned then it may face trouble while you want to use it again. Sprayers these days come with some excellent features, reverse spraying, clean with a garden hose, and with simple soap and water. Proper cleaning will keep a sprayer in service for years.
