A feature of painting the ceiling is the need to tilt the spray gun with the nozzle up. Because of this, in some models, the paint begins to flow out through the lid of the tank, while in others, the intake tube quickly becomes open and stops supplying material.Therefore, for such processes, an airbrush with a sealed lid and a large tank is chosen so as not to interrupt work for refueling every 3 minutes. The nozzle must be designed for water-based paint used for finishing walls and ceilings.

There are pneumatic and electric spray guns designed to supply material to the ceiling surface. In the second case, the pump can be built-in or remote. If the electric motor is located in a separate housing, it is important that it can be hung on the shoulder for comfortable operation. Another option is to have a long hose to put the pump on the table and hold only the gun. Any model copes well with painting the walls.

In Russia, many electric and pneumatic spray guns are sold at prices ranging from 1,000 to 15,000 rubles, which are suitable for painting walls and ceilings. Leading brands: Fubag, Stels, P.I.T., WAGNER, BOSCH, etc. Depending on the frequency of work, choose a household or professional model.

The best pneumatic spray guns for painting walls and ceilings

Pneumatic spray guns are light and compact, easy to handle and work in tight spaces. But to function, you need a compressor that creates air pressure. Most often, pneumatic spray guns are used by professional repairmen. But the owners of private houses, having their own compressor in the garage, can paint the walls of the house inside and out with such a gun. Here are the best models for working with water-based paint on vertical and overhead surfaces.

The best price in the category

A pneumatic type spray gun costs 30-50% cheaper than competitors, but it is assembled quite well and sprays paint well.

  • Country: Russia (produced in China)
  • Average cost: 900 rubles.
  • Pressure: 3.4-5 atm
  • Tank volume: 0.75 l
  • Nozzle diameter: 1.5mm
  • Spray method: HVLP

The budget spray gun for painting ceilings with walls has a lower tank with a volume of 750 ml. The metal container does not block the view when painting the ceiling surface, but the paint is not completely developed due to the gun tilt. The width of spraying with a torch is adjustable from 12 to 20 cm. There is no spitting during application. Some tried to use a spray gun not only with water-based paint, but also with thick nitro enamels and fire-resistant primers - it turned out well. In the reviews, the owners advise tightening the lid more tightly, otherwise it may spontaneously unwind due to a weak fixation lock. The matte surface of the gun is difficult to remove from dried paint, so the tool should be cleaned immediately after use.

Pros and cons
  • Affordable price
  • Bottom tank mount
  • Doesn't spit
  • Suitable for thick paints
  • Weak container lock
  • There is a lot of paint left in the tank
  • Difficult to remove dried marks

Best in Air Consumption

  • Country: Germany (produced in China)
  • Average cost: 1550 rubles.
  • Pressure: 3-4 atm
  • Tank volume: 0.75 l
  • Nozzle diameter: 1.2/1.5/1.8mm
  • Spray method: HVLP

The spray gun for painting walls and ceilings is cast from aluminum alloy. The tank with the lower location is also metal and withstands harsh operating conditions well. It easily attaches to the gun and does not wave when working on ceilings. True, the connecting nut and tube are made of ordinary steel, therefore they gradually rust. It can be seen from the reviews that the 750 ml tank provides longer work when painting walls and ceilings than the 600 ml versions. The manufacturer uses reliable gaskets in the design, which contributes to tightness with a strong inclination of the gun towards itself. There are no air leaks in the system. But the trigger is too close to the tank, so the knuckles will rest. If a low-power compressor is available, the air supply can be adjusted from 75 l/min. The maximum air flow adjustment limit is 230 l/min for best performance.

Pros and cons
  • Economical air consumption
  • Good equipment
  • aluminum tank
  • Reliable seals
  • The knuckles rest against the tank
  • The tube and nut are rusting

Pros and cons
  • Body is easy to remove paint

  • Soft application
  • Low air consumption
  • Specific thread fitting

  • Warranty 2 years
  • Accurate flame adjustment
  • Smooth application
  • Quality nozzle included
  • Key missing for disassembly and cleaning
  • Heavier than others
