Spray painting uses a spray gun and compressed gas to ‘coat’ a surface - most commonly with paint, but sometimes with a varnish, primer, or stain.
Spray painting is much more efficient than traditional painting techniques and allows a much larger surface area to be coated in a shorter time span. It also results in an evenly-distributed coating, with minimal waste due to overspray.
A popular painting choice for a number of applications, spray painting is commonly used within the automotive industry, as well as construction, marine, furniture and industrial machinery. It can also be used on virtually any material.
It's important to bear in mind that spray painting may be more expensive than other painting techniques, due to the fact that it uses more paint as well as sophisticated equipment.
