Good for small jobs and frequent color changes, these sprayers have small containers and adjustable controls that make switching between jobs easy. To make color changes faster, keep multiple sets of the cups or tanks, couplings, and tubing (all sold separately) on hand to reduce the components you need to clean between colors.

Sprayers with an 8 oz. cup are easy to set up and use because the cup attaches directly to the sprayer. The cup is also clear, so you can monitor powder levels while you spray. These sprayers are best for coating small parts, such as hardware and hand tools. They have two different output voltages you can choose between by flipping a switch on the control unit. Use the lower voltage for detailed jobs and the higher voltage for general purpose jobs.

Sprayers with a 5 lb. tank hold 10 times as much powder as sprayers with an 8 oz. cup. For a smooth, even coat on flat surfaces, the tank uses compressed air to circulate powder, preventing spitting and surging. Because you can adjust the output voltage in increments, these sprayers are good for a wide variety of applications, from small parts to large objects such as furniture, enclosures, and guardrails. They also come with different nozzles, so you can change the size, shape, and speed of your spray depending on your surface.

Output voltage is the amount of electrical charge applied to the powder coating. Lower voltages are good for intricate details and hard-to-reach corners and crevices. Higher voltages are good for quickly coating large, flat surfaces.
