Spray guns produce fast, efficient flawless finishes on almost all painted and coated surfaces today. From the Golden Gate Bridge, space shuttle, to your child's Barbie doll, or grandfathers lawnmower, decking, trim, cabinets, fences, cars, bikes, pool cues, gun stocks and barrels, electric guitars, violins, the list goes on and on. Plus, it's FUN! When you work with professional tools and get the type of finish you expect.
Brushes and spray cans are easy to use, but there's a reason no one paints with them when finish quality counts. They simply cannot produce a smooth finish. A professional spray gun can!
We get calls every day that start "I bought this inexpensive spray gun ($30-$120) at my local store and I'm not happy with the finish"... (Usually fiddling with the gun for days and wasting time and paint). The old adage that you get what you pay for is somewhat true.
At SprayGunWorld & SprayGunIndustry
• We only sell Professional Guns that have been used and tested in the field. We have access to hundreds of lower line guns that we REFUSE to sell. Cost on some imports selling for $60 at your local store or chain cost only $12. If we sold such "junk" with our normal markup we would sell that gun to you for $13.50, not $60.
• In addition, we sell direct to the public so our $75 spray gun is really a $150 or more in the retail store. Our $200 gun can be found at paint shops for well over $300.
• Also, one size does NOT fit all. You don't do it with your shoes, so don't do it with your tools. Most retail and many online stores do not have the space or desire to stock all the different sizes of spray guns available. If you go to your local store, not only will there be few guns available, but they will all have the same generic setup. In contrast, at spraygunworld and spraygun industry, we match your spray gun to the materials you are using for the surface on which you are spraying and we give you the option and information of adding additional setups for future expansion. Our goal is simple, to help you get the best finish possible with the least amount of headache. In other words, if you have small hands and put on a pair of the wrong sized gloves, you can still work, but not well and not happily.

*why are good guns more expensive? It is actually not easy to manufacture good spray guns. Tolerance levels are very high and precision craftsmanship is necessary. In addition, guns have many moving parts and take much abuse in the shop. If you can imagine taking 30-40 pounds of pressure and smashing a 1 millimeter drop of liquid into a smoke like, perfectly smooth and even 8"-12" pattern you could imagine how difficult that task is and how exact and hard you have to strike that liquid. The tolerance for error on such a task is very small.
Thankfully it's not.
• We have many tools & help sections on our site to help you get setup.
• We have Many Starter Set Recommendations on the home page of spraygunworld.com.
• Plus, you can email questions to professorspray@spraygunworld.com
• We have GAURANTEED setups, guaranteed to work with your material at our SprayGunWizard.
• We have industry specific recommendations at SprayGunIndustry.com gleamed from others in your industry
• and unlike most companies, we love to talk to you, we have the PROFESSOR x 203 ready to help you make your selection. (please note the professor is very busy so call back if you don't get through or don't get a call back quick enough) |
All the guns we sell at SprayGunWorld and SprayGunIndustry are professional and of high quality. You cannot go wrong with any gun selection you make on our site. We have taken out the guess work for you, and removed all bad spray gun decisions usually found at your local hardware store or big box do it yourself chain.
Therefore, you really have only 3 main choices:
(Unless, you are doing some textured or corrosive materials - we have recommendations for those in our specialty sections)
Choice 1: What Technology I want to use (Suction, Pressure, Gravity)
 |
Suction: Oldest Technology - cup is attached to the bottom of the gun - Not as recommended for today's hard to spray hi solid content coatings. However, we have some fantastic modern designs that are quite excellent for those who are comfortable with this style of gun.
Gravity: Most common today. Reason: easy to clean up and use. Drawbacks: the cup may get in the way and you are limited to 1 liter of fluid. However, there are disposable liners that allow you to spray in any direction even upside down! And you can always add a fitting and convert your gravity gun into a pressure feed gun except the hose will be pointing off the top of the gun rather than below and require a different tip size.
Pressure: Most common in industrial environments. Reason: Greatest control over fluid delivery. Benefits are great: control, smaller gun size (paint can be stored off the gun), and large paint capacities from 1 quart to 55 gallon drums and beyond. Drawback is that there is more parts to clean. However, we have cleaning systems available for the serious professional to aid in very quick cleanup. About 5 minutes. Call to ask about it. |
Choice 2: What price range
|
One way we like to think about it, with some exceptions. Guns under $200.00 (our direct pricing) are meant to last about 5-10 years. Guns over $250.00 (our direct pricing) are made to last a lifetime. Either way, you are getting direct wholesale pricing at spraygunworld.com and spraygunindustry.com so are you are getting a good deal no matter what gun you choose. |
Choice 3:
What tip size do I need. (We have matched up the needles and cap sets for you).
Choosing your tip set is your main concern and we offer many recommendations on our site or you can call the PROFESSOR x 203.

Of course there are about 20 or more important considerations, and we expect and welcome your phone calls. Professor spray will be happy to help you make a selection, but those listed above are among the top decisions to make. We also have some industry specific help. Please look at your industry specific area for ideas if you do not wish to use a gravity gun.
Please visit the Help section at spraygunworld.com and learn about the myths of CFM and HP ratings. Your 5HP motor maybe a "fake"!!!
Please keep your gun clean - Which means do not leave paint in the can alone for over 1 hour.
We have a really nice deluxe cleaning kit
