How To Paint Interior Walls With A Paint Gun?

When painting interior walls, it is essential to use an airless sprayer for a thinner and more uniform covering of paint. This type of sprayer uses pressurized force to apply paint in a light directional mist, leaving an even finish without brush marks or dimples. The Wagner Flexio 3000 is a popular choice for this purpose, as it uses a high-powered turbine fan to push air and paint through a spray gun.

When using an airless sprayer, it is important to pre-painter the walls, band the area to be sprayed, and cut in any corners. For inside corners, aim the spray tip directly into the corner, spraying each of the adjacent walls that form the corner evenly and in one pass. Water-soluble wall and ceiling paints for interior use, such as dispersion paints, can be easily sprayed on with Wagner paint spray systems.

In this beginner guide to painting interior walls with a sprayer, the author covers everything from prepping walls for painting, masking effectively, choosing a paint, and applying paint in a light directional mist. To fine-tune the settings, use a piece of plywood or drywall to practice your spray pattern and distance (6-8 inches is a great starting distance).

To ensure a smooth and efficient painting process, start by prepping the room by removing everything you can from the room, filling any holes on the walls, sanding them smooth, and cleaning by dusting and sweeping.

Do paint guns use more paint?

Paint sprayers, particularly airless models, can cause overspray, resulting in more paint consumption compared to rollers. However, they offer unparalleled speed, allowing painters to cover twice the area simultaneously. However, they can be more expensive, with basic models like the Ozito 400W Power Paint Spray Gun costing $44. 90 and professional-grade models like the Titan Focux 500 XVLP Handheld Paint Spray costing $669. Paint sprayer efficiency refers to the sprayer’s ability to apply paint evenly, minimize overspray, and reduce paint wastage, making them a valuable tool for various tasks.

How long can paint stay in a gun?

Indeed, paint may be stored in a sprayer for up to 24 hours, even overnight, if it is to be used the following day. Following the completion of the spraying process, the apparatus should be cleaned and prepared for storage. It is not uncommon for decorators to leave paint in their sprayer for the duration of their work without cleaning it out. To prevent complications, it is advisable to adhere to the following guidelines when contemplating the prolonged storage of paint in a sprayer.

Is a paint sprayer good for interior walls?

Spray painting is a fast and efficient method for painting interior walls and outdoor surfaces. It is particularly suitable for exterior jobs, such as garages or large outdoor walls, as it allows paint to be applied everywhere. However, over spraying and wasting paint are potential issues. Sprayers can achieve a more controlled, fine finish on smaller jobs, such as trims, stairs, and fences. They can also be used for outdoor items like doors, where rollers may not provide the desired professional finish. It is important to consider the specific job and the environment when using spray painting. Overall, spray painting offers a versatile and efficient solution for a variety of painting needs.

What are the disadvantages of a spray paint gun?

Using a spray gun for painting can lead to overspray, a potential issue where more paint or coating is applied than needed, resulting in wasted material and potentially costly costs. While spray guns offer benefits like improved efficiency, speed, even finish, and reduced physical strain, they also have drawbacks like higher initial costs, potential overspray, and the need for proper ventilation and safety measures.

This article will compare the pros and cons of using a spray gun for painting projects and compare them to other methods like brushing and rolling. It is essential to consider these factors when choosing a spray gun for painting projects.

Do you need to thin paint for a paint gun?

To prevent the clogging of sprayers with viscous paints such as water-based latex, it is recommended to mix half a cup of water with every gallon of latex paint in a bucket and stir thoroughly before using it in an HVLP gun.

Why don’t painters use sprayers?

The decision to use a sprayer for painting your house is often a complex one, as it requires significant prep work to protect non-painted areas from overspray and requires thorough cleaning post-use. Traditional methods like brushes or rollers may be more simple, but the final result depends on how you apply the paint, whether by brush, roller, or sprayer. Therefore, it’s essential to weigh the pros and cons before making a decision.

Is it better to spray or roll interior paint?

The choice between sprayer and rolling paint for a project depends on your preferences and goals. Spraying may be the better option for speed and efficiency, while rolling is ideal for a more precise finish. If you’re unsure about which technique will yield the best results, consulting a professional painter or contractor can help.

However, spray painting has some drawbacks, including the risk of overspray. If not controlled properly, paint mist can drift and settle on unintended surfaces, causing additional cleanup efforts and potential damage to surrounding objects. It’s essential to consider these potential drawbacks when choosing a paint method for your next project.

  • You mentioned that the walls were to be masked and the ceiling to be painted next…but did not state whether it would be the same color or sheen. Would I spray in the same order (walls first, then mask walls off, finally spray ceiling) if I were spraying walls and ceilings same color with flat sheen? Great article…BTW

  • Some observations from a nubester. It is ez to get info overload when learning to spray paint, so perusal this true master of the trade do it clears up lots of misinformation: 1. He doesnt maintain 90 angle to the surface. Toward top and bottom of the wall it is more like 45, doesnt seem to matter at all. May be few % of paint will go airborne at these angles, but it is minute enough 2. Speed. He moves at fairly brisk but steady pace. If you slow down, you will deposit too much paint and will get drooling and/or orange-peel texture 3. No “flick-of-the-wrist” technique at the end points of the stroke is present. Simple up’n’down overlapping motion, with gun on 95% of the time. Only time he does quick squirts is to touch up in trickier spots. He does end the strokes on the masked area on the bottom and on the ceiling for top. 4. There a bit of “finger” going on – you can see it on the RHS of spray wedge. Dont seem to affect anything at all. You want your pressure to be as low as possible w/o w/o fingers. That will deposit less paint, helping with drooling/orange peel, reducing wear/tear on the tip and overall stress on the machine

  • How how much time does it take to tape off everything in that room before you spray? I’ve found taping is very tedious and hard to do. What’s the best way to do it and with what materials? Is it cost-effective and time effective to take the entire room? It must be if that’s the way you’re doing it. Is most of your work an empty house like it seems to be on your articles?

  • great job……I’m thinking of spraying an interior room with an airless sprayer, my concern is Overspray, I’m assuming you masked the Entire Floor with paper right? and as for this particular room in the vid, you mentioned you were going to spray the ceiling, what would you do; mask a foot or so Down from the cieling line? and there again wouldn’t the Overspray hit your walls? OR would you just Roll the ceiling? If Behr paint sucks, what do you use OR recommend? Great Vid…just Sub’d

  • Hey Chris, I just purchased and airless sprayer and am going to be painting all of the interior walls. I will only have a 2-4 hour window each evening during the week, so it would be ideal if I could mask all the rooms and then come back and paint all the rooms. I have seen in some of your articles where you do not recommend leaving 3M 2020 on the baseboards for an extended period of time. How would you approach this scenario? Thanks for your help.

  • I have to say, that is the easiest way of spraying the interior/exterior I’ve ever seen. We’re looking at properties and for the price, size, safety, doing little renovation is worth-it. This way of spraying will save SO much man power/time and money! I notice you pretty much do only 1 to 1.5 coating, if we did 2-3 coats I assume it’ll be darker? The more coats, the longer it lasts? Also, is it pre-primed paint, or you don’t need primer for interior or it doesn’t matter?

  • Hey Chris, My brother and I are getting ready to spray his new house (interior). The house is 4700sf all level 5 finish with some ceilings at 20′. We just finished sanding the finish (I hate sanding) and literally went over every square inch to fill any nicks or scratches from sanding (he had tapers but fired them because they didn’t seem to know what a level five finish was so they sanded everything with 150 grit and tried to call it good). My question is… would you ever back roll a level 5 and what tips can you give me to get the smoothest walls possible?

  • hello thanks for your articles I operate a paint sprayer but I only spray outside I would like to spray some wainscoting inside of a house and I’m worried the tips I usually use that my boss provides seem to come out pretty heavy what would you recommend to have a nice finish for a semi gloss white as far as tip goes and do you add a paint thinner with the paint?

  • Well, after perusal your airless sprayer articles, and having a large master bedroom and master bathroom to paint, I decided to use an airless sprayer. I got a great deal on an airless sprayer from Harbor Freight, and got the RAC X-517 guard and tip set to spray the ceiling and walls as well as a RAC-X 310 fine finish tip to spray the trim and a 30″ extension for the cathedral ceiling. I spent a great deal of time prepping and masking things off. The paint sprayer worked beautifully, and I slowly increased the pressure until I got an even spray. Since I was a nube at spraying, I assumed that I wouldn’t have good technique, and I didn’t, but I had planned to spray a small section, the roll it to even it out. That worked well for me and was still pretty fast. It would have been faster if I had help rolling, but I was by myself, so… While I was prepared for some amount of paint dust, and used a 3M filter mask for painting, I was not prepared for the huge amount of paint dust in the air – especially in the master bathroom. It was a heavy cloud. With hindsight, I should’ve covered everything, but unfortunately, I didn’t. The paint dust got onto every exposed surface. I had only masked off the perimeter of the tile floor about 1 foot all the way around. I fully covered the mirror and cabinets, and masked off the shower and tub tile area, unfortunately, I didn’t cover the middle of the tile floor or most of the bathtub. Needless to say, the dust got all over the tile floor and I tracked it everywhere.

  • it works but hard to find parts if something breaks. or when you can its expensive. however depending on how much you paint is what should be asked or considered. if your a weekend warrior that sometimes paints, sure a wagner can get it done. but a sprayer like a 695 like in the article will work on alot of different coatings and he can use different pressures and tip sizes much better than any wagner.

  • Hi guys, DIY chum from the land of Aussie. Just have to post a well deserved positive feedback. Your instructional is simple to understand, and VERY insightful. My additional tip to everyone out there is simple. WATCH the article very carefully! See how B&K boys have thought of every little detail. They have not taken shortcuts on any preparation, removed all the electrical sockets, pulled back floor edges etc, and sealed a lot of the non painting surfaces with poly sheets that are ridiculously cheap. I use those poly sheets in my garage to cover unused mattresses and storage items (at $2 for 2 sheets that are 6m x 3m). Preparation is 50% of your goal. 45% is the right items. 5% is the confidence in using the airless machine. Well done lads! Love this vid. P.S. I have a side project that I wish to throw an old Ford into the garage and use the same airless gear to repaint the bonnet. Good enough to spray enamel or best going for the old compressor instead? Cheers mates! Enzo

  • Hell, if you guys were close I would’ve just hired you to paint my house. My wife has been perusal too much HGTV and has me painting room after room. I was looking for tips or possible upgrades and stumbled upon your article. This is an awesome setup and flow you have going on. I can’t believe how fast you can knockout a room compared to my average joe roller job. Do you guys tape-off and spray trim as well? I’m just curious to the whole “industrial” process. Also could you give just a quick estimate on what that gear you are using might cost? Great work, definitely subscribing so I can pick up a few pointers.

  • wow..gotta tell ya..I started out just perusal one of your article’s early this morning over a cup of Java and 2 1/2 hours later still perusal all your awesome article’s and saving them to my Handyman Painting files !! Excellent job on the explaining process and article Presentations..Finding the “The Idaho Painter” YT article’s will be a huge benefit to my Handyman and Home Improvement adventures..Thanks again brother..From East Coast Florida..jp

  • I have the exact same setup as you, but Graco x7. Thus is my first job and I decided to paint side to side :). This method makes much more sense when using the extension. I must say when first looking at the Grayco it looked like a toy massive plastic housing with teeny little motor inside. Didn’t look like anything special but it appeared to do a job with no spray clogs so I guess it works.

  • Great article, thanks for sharing! I’m an artist, experienced with airbrushing, but not with large sprayers. I’m re-creating a polished marble finish on to drywall and I need a super slick finish with the base coat (no shine) and clear coat (gloss). What type of sprayer and paint/varnish do you recommend? (must be water-base)

  • Hi Chris, awesome article dude. You guys rock! Thanks for all the the tips. I have a Titan 290xt with the 24” and the 517 tip. My question to you is once you’ve done the walls in the darker color, would you recommend masking off the entire walls to spray the ceilings white?? I’m assuming the answer would be yes, did ceilings before where there was new paint on the walls and I only used the brown paper extending 1′ below the ceiling line, but had to redo walls coz of overspay that felt sandy.

  • Might Fine Pant Job! Hey, Question. How come you start and stopped sprayer on the wall many times? In other article you talked about Extension Spitting and said to start and stop the spray on paper. Why is that not so here? No disrespect, just fixin’ to spray and it will be difficult in many areas to start/stop off on paper somewhere. – thanks Brother!

  • I had the idea to try spraying some walls to get a nice finish for a high gloss paint job and ended up purchasing a mid range Wagner sprayer. The question I have is, does the paint mist from the sprayer tend to travel a fair distance from the point of application? I would suspect you would want to eliminate any drafts (open windows, forced air heating, a/c, etc). I just dont want the wife to find dried paint mist all over everything 10+ feet away after I reassured her it wouldn’t happen.

  • How long to it take to prep a standard empty house befor spraying? I live in the UK and some external walls have pebble dash finish which have never been painted😭 I tend to brush the first coat in then roll second and 3rd coat. How much water would you add to 10ltrs of water based paint so I can draw through the sprayer? Kind regards

  • Why no back rolling? First ever spray project and I noticed some stripes in my painting, they did seem to fade as the paint dried but I have read back rolling will get ride of this? Most probably because I am a lousy first time painter. Gun was set up correctly with no fingers I think. Hard to see what one is doing when spraying white on white.

  • has to be the worst way to paint a room or house I have ever seen in my life ! I would spray doors and frames undercoat spray celings first coat and back roll second coat gloss of doors and frames with brush and roller then cut in and roll walls 2 coats the finish would be so much better and the lines and precision would be a million times better have fun spraying

  • man…thank you for all the articles. I like getting advice from the best sources possible, and you are by far the most detailed and experienced with your instructions. your skill level is second to none, and you look like a robot spraying that room. I wish I knew about your articles before I rolled every inch of the interior of my house. vaulted ceilings and all. I’m a bit intimidated by you when that sprayer is in your hand, but confident enough to spray and back- roll the stucco. again, thank you for the articles and tutorials! you are the paint master!

  • Ok thanks pal I’m in New York I paint a lot of finished homes furniture everywhere all the time . The only time I spray is and apartment complex when it’s empty it quicker n back roll like I would normally do except I don’t have to keep going back n fo dipping in pan also found that quicker. Thank if u said u wouldn’t buy it I’m not. I bought my first 440 titan n started spraying cause of u n articles thanks. My jobs get done quicker n finish on doors n trim look great . My Custermer’s are alway happy thank Idaho lol

  • NOT something I would do but I assume you are doing topcoats, perhaps one coat only? I just think its too much work masking the trim, removing it then checking and cleaning off bleeds. It seems like a pain to paint the ceilings after as well as I find its harder to cut the line on the ceiling. You would have to do two cuts over that overspray and that second cut is a bitch being flat paint as it drags the brush. Then you may have spits and drips on those newly finished walls. SPRAY the new walls(and backroll) with drywall primer, SPRAY the ceiling in flat, SPRAY the trim in pearl or semi gloss, then CUT and ROLL the walls. Its minimal touchups that way.

  • First time using a sprayer. I run into two problems so far. First, I was disappointed to see that after I sprayed the primer, the wall feel very rough. I guess I need to sand it before applying the paint, right? Is it normal to feel like this? The second problem I run into today was that trying to apply the paint failed! More exactly the pattern is horrible, instead of a smooth, well distributed paint I am getting now two heavy lines on each side of the fan. I guess is the paint. Maybe is too thick? I added a little bit of water and mixed it at the very beginning. Is it possible that the filters are clogged only after spraying 4 rooms with primer? I don’t think is the tip, I used a new one today and I’ve got the same pattern. Thank you.

  • Hi. Most articles I see which use paint sprayers indoors are usually rooms which are bare. I understand from some comments that there is alot of spray mist, yet, in your articlese there didnt seem to be much (maybe the trick of the article camera) Can you advise if a sprayer like the one you use is suitable to use indoors where there is carpet and furniture. Assuming I take care in covering up, is the spray mist too much to make it worthwhile using a sprayer indoors (ie. the amount of masking and covering up vs using a roller?) thanks

  • i have a graco and I sprayed a room and there was so much overspray it filled the room it was a room about the size in this article. Can you tell me why? I was spraying Sherwin Williams show case latex based paint with a sheer finish, I was using the gun and tip that came with the machine. LMK Thanks!!!!

  • I was going to buy an X5 or X7 sprayer for painting walls and trim in my house, but recently came across forum posts of sprayer dealers saying that he would not recommend spraying walls or cabinets with these cheaper model sprayers. Would it be a mistake to buy one thinking I could pull this off? Something about not having a pressure regulator in the gun or tip or something…

  • Hi, I want to paint my house, but my wife and I are not that talented painting. Would it be better for us to hire someone, and spend about 600-800$, or to buy what we need and paint it ourselves? How much money would the equipment be? What do we need beside the spray gun, the extension, and the tips?

  • Hey pal quick question is it really need to back roll or can it be left like that to dry ? Only asking cause I did my own house with titan 440 sprayed kids room . I love it . It was quick n fun in time kids dirty walls small areas. I did touch ups with brush the 3/4 mini 4″ rollers from Sherman . When that shit dryer you can see the difference. . Is that the reason why a lot of other articles say to back roll?

  • What pressure it is on. I use 414 tip but had some drips so had to send and reaply. I guess I doo slower movements and too high pressure to make runs. If I move as you faster and have 1500 pressure will it be enough power to stop color running. I work on my house I am not professional but have tight budget so trying all by myself.

  • I am a pretty fast roller (because I am old school). I have to ask… looking at all of the taping off and shielding and estimating the time it took to put up and take down and cleaning up overspaying (I am sure there is some somewhere). All in all how much faster is it to spray? I am not trying to be sarcastic, I just am used to rolling and am curious, and the question is here for professional painters who have experience in both.

  • I’ve been painting for 22 years and it’s not hard to spray is just you have to cover everything you do not want paint on its very quick to spray but you don’t crank up the sprayer just for one room unless you just want to but the clean up after is gonna make u wish u just used a brush and roller instead. You would have to run water thru the machine and that’s a process and cleaning your strainers and sometimes there a process with straining the paint before you use it for spraying just be careful when owning one u don’t want to mess up money

  • Greetings master painter. Once upon a time I worked for a builder that hired a painting company that sprayed our houses. They called it “bombing” or is it “balming” lol? Anyway, long story short, the end result sucked. And I think the reason why was because they did not roll on the primer to the walls to hide the freshly installed drywall and drywall mud discrepancies. In your opinion, do you think that my deduction was right? Or is it possible to achieve a desirable, painted result in a new home/bare drywall project using a sprayer only? In other words can a painter choose speed and a sprayer over a roller on the wall if the skill is high enough, or is a roller always required at least once to achieve a stippled result to hide drywall discrepancies. Thank You for you’re amazingly generous articles!

  • I’m not trying to show off I have it been painted and longest you have but I can paint that room as fast as you spray it but I start with the ceilings first I’ll jump on My Stilts cut it in and roll it it don’t take no time I can do all three bedroom ceilings in less than 2 hours instead of having all that overspray that’s why all my customers are satisfied

  • In the middle of a project now… Just got done spraying the trim and ready to move on to either walls or ceiling. I don’t live in the house and no flooring has been installed yet, which would you do first, walls or ceiling? And whichever order you do them, how would you get a clean line at the corner of the wall/ceiling(ceiling is white, walls dark)? The texture makes it impossible for a clean tape line so I’m wondering if it needs to be cut in by hand or not. Love the articles, keep up the great work!

  • Seriously thinking about getting a sprayer. Don’t have much experience with one but I have a job coming up that would be a nightmare to roll/brush with heavily textured ceilings. Does anyone know how well the Avanti airless paint, primer and stain sprayer performs from harbor freight? I know that it’s not top of the line but is it worth the $250 or should I hold out for a graco?

  • so i bought a flexio 990 thinking I could do some walls in my house faster than a roller…um…no way…took me over an hour to do one door and part of one wall …not enough paint coming out even at highest flow rate. I want an airless now but I really don’t want a lot of overspray…in my example, I only covered around the door because it just didn’t have overspray hardly. Would an airless produce enough overspray that I would have to cover eveyrthing in the room?

  • then rolled the walls in 30 minutes …that’s 1 hour for 200 dollars labor……….perfect cutins…………..no excesive trash…….ect……no mask on my face……………..and no chance for drips ect……….love your vids chris but at same time I don’t use sprayers.to messy then u have to clean em………same for exteriors…..just have two people..one rolling paint on as the other back brushes………yes hard labor but better and no over spray on gutters and next door neighbors cars

  • love your articles but at the same time I have to be honest………….I run my own painting company in Kansas and have a lot of satisfied customers and rarely do I ever use a sprayer….by the time u take to mask of everything off and the cost of tape, paper and plastic and the trash it causes for the environment I don’t get it………….I could have taped of the baseboard in that small room in 10 min, then cutin with a brush the ceiling wall line in 10 min and the corners in 10 min

  • And this article took 15 hours of masking and covering floors and 3.5 hours too spray the room because he had too spray the ceiling white 3 times too cover the beige brown on the edges and corners of the ceiling. When with a roller and a brush would take 3hours tops entirely too brush and roll the ceiling and walls

  • How come in certain areas of my interior trim I spray paint, feels rough, like a fine sandpaper feel? We prime then sand, first coat of paint, then sand again, then a final coat? Do you work your way inside of a room, so that any fine overspray that has come in contact of the trim that hasn’t been sprayed yet will get sprayed for a smooth feel finish? Hope this makes sense??

  • I’m a DIY’er with a Graco 490 and some extention wands; however, everytime I use them I get spitting when I start and stop the spayer. Rarely will I see you start/stop in the middle of a ‘lap’ but you will do it when your getting into hard to reach places, like when you painted next to the window and inside the cubbies of the closet. So, are you getting spitting each time you do that??? And if not, how are you preventing it????? Thanks!

  • Do Not try this at home Folks, you will have a BIG dusty mess, now what to do with the ceiling? the spray pattern will show on the walls as stripes, back roll to have a even finish, this painter is skilled, and look at the hours of tight masking to spray a small room, and when some leaks happen, more cleaning ! just brush and roll small rooms, what a mess on the ceiling that needs two coats of white now instead of one, Oh, now mask the walls and spray the ceiling?, trim,roll the ceiling first, And much much more paint needed for each room, Spray is for new construction walls, or finer /faster finish on trim, and dont forget the expense of all that masking labor and tape . paper,, plastic, buy good brushes and roller covers, not more and more expensive paint

  • Love your articles Chris. Is it actually faster to spray the walls when you factor in all of the time required to mask the trim? And then all the time required to mask the walls in order to spray the ceilings? Wouldn’t it be faster to spray the ceilings, then spray the trim, then cut and roll the walls?

  • You do just got to love how quick painting with a sprayer really is (when you master it). With a roller, I’d still be on the second or third wall by the time a sprayer was done with the room. And contrary to common belief, the time it takes you to protect everything then clean up is still lower than the time it would take to roll the house. Huge money makers right there and a seriously good investment if I may say so myself. But don’t buy one if you’re going to only spray 1 or 2 houses a year …

  • OH MY GOSH Where were you a month ago when I was painting STUCCO from He… ? I thought ALL Paint sprayers were very expensive… What Paint Sprayer would you recommend for me (I’m only 5 foot 4 inches tall and weigh 130 lbs. I would love a Airless, Cordless… but they weigh around 10 lbs… Heavy,.. I have painted Stucco Houses before, but this Stucco is very thick and ruining my rollers… Where is a Paint Sprayer when you need one?

  • Ppl never tape off especially like i do as i spray kitchen cabinets with my father and we literally set up a paint booth for cars in anyones home, we use an industrial strong enamel tgat is very similar to ceramic and its called cabinet reglazing & bathtub refinishing. Its a 3rd of cost of replacing and alot of home buyers and house flippers use us to save a ton of money.

  • Save yourself the agro and don’t buy it, it takes forever to get it right and once you do, it will spit blobs of paint out over your work randomly, utter nightmare I’m putting mine on marketplace P S. I solved it, it’s all to do with getting the dilution of the paint right, it works really well !!!! 😃
