Homemade paint sprayer. How to make a spray gun that paints without drips? Making a spray gun using a vacuum cleaner
Painting a car is a procedure that must be carried out using special equipment for long-lasting paint service. Since the most popular device for applying paint and varnish is a spray gun, many motorists want to make this product with their own hands to save money. In this regard, there are many ideas on how to make a spray gun with your own hands, and the most popular of them will be presented below.
What is a spray gun for painting a car?
According to the principle of operation, it is a spray gun that sprays under high pressure tiny particles auto enamel, ensuring its uniform application. The principle of operation of a spray gun with a lower tank is the supply of paint and varnish composition after it is diluted with air.

You can make your own paint sprayer from the following available materials:
- container with a wide neck;
- foam;
- ballpen.
Ballpoint pen BIC Cristal for making a spray gun Spray gun for water-based paint is made as follows:
- A blank is cut out of foam plastic. Its first edge corresponds to the diameter of the neck of the container for paint and varnish composition. It should fit snugly inside. Please note that you are working with porous and flexible material and make the bottom edge 2mm wider.
- Holes are drilled in the foam (it is important - they are drilled, not cut or pierced, otherwise the workpiece will be damaged). A ballpoint pen is inserted into the first hole. B horizontally drilled hole the handle body is pushed through.
After connecting a couple of parts together, the DIY paint sprayer is ready for use. To adjust the flow in it, the handle elements are shifted relative to each other. A homemade spray bottle is suitable for creating a dense layer of paint or varnish, as well as imitating certain textures. True, experts question the durability of such a design. Before starting work, make sure that the volume of the paint container matches the volume of work being done.

It’s not enough to know how to make a spray bottle; you need to understand how to extend its life. To do this, modify the spray gun: make another hole in the foam from top to bottom parallel to the handle shaft. This causes an increase in pressure in the container with enamel and increases the force of the jet.
The second modification option is to insert a second rod into the hole to apply a thin layer of enamel. This will expand the range paint coatings, which are used in a homemade sprayer.
Please note that the use of polystyrene foam allows you to fill the sprayer only with compositions of water based. To use solvent-based compounds, use rubber instead of foam.
Spray from a vacuum cleaner
Another option for making a spray gun with your own hands is to find a vacuum cleaner hose yourself. With the help of a vacuum cleaner, you will achieve greater durability of the structure, and the resulting unit can be used not only for painting, but also for priming the car.
Of course, not every model household appliances will be a complete replacement for the compressor, since not all models have a blowing mode. The spray gun from a vacuum cleaner with your own hands with the air blowing mode comes out excellent, and it is especially appropriate in this regard to use the Soviet “Raketa” or “Whirlwind” units. Among other advantages, they come with nozzles included that adapt to future liquid sprayers. Then the spray gun installed on the vacuum cleaner will work due to the compressor, the role of which will be performed by household appliances.
Spray from a vacuum cleaner The steps on how to make a spray bottle at home are as follows:
- Prepare a screw-neck bottle made of glass or plastic. The diameter of the bottle opening should be up to 2.5 cm;
- take an aluminum or copper tube 200 mm long and 40 mm in diameter. At its bottom end, roll up and secure the end of the spray gun hose from a vacuum cleaner or a spray can. Install a nozzle (material – brass) on the second end of the tube;
- To make the handle, use a bakelite handle. Make a groove in the structure where it will be installed using screws;
- to pump out paint, take a tube with a diameter of 2 mm, strip its upper edge to a cone-shaped state, and then insert it into the plug connector;
Vacuum cleaner spray device - To match the dimensions of the socket, use a bracket with the correct hole. Use it steel sheet, collecting the prepared components so that the end of the car enamel suction tube is at the level of the nozzle;
- Check the operation of the vacuum cleaner spray gun on the surface. To adjust the pressure, change the position of the pressed tubes. After adjusting the pressure, secure the suction tube in the socket using sealant or glue. Attach the socket to the lid of the car enamel container.
Making a homemade spray gun with your own hands is not that difficult. And, if you have a lot of painting jobs, then you will save on the purchase. How to do homemade spray gun at home, which is what we will look at today.
After all, there are several options here and you will need to choose the right option. Videos and photos will help you make the right choice.
DIY spray gun: main advantages
To carry out any painting work, you can use a homemade simple spray gun, which will provide you additional benefits than a regular roller (see). At the same time, to save money, you can make a homemade spray gun for painting.
Strengths compared to a roller
Using a spray gun has a number of advantages, which will certainly affect the speed of execution. painting work and its quality.
Advantages of the spray gun:
- Using the tool eliminates the possibility of preserving lint, bristles and other foreign debris on layers of freshly applied paint;
- Using a spray gun will reduce the duration of any work several times. than without it;
- Achieving significant savings consumables : the paint is applied in an even thin layer, there are no smudges, excess does not spill onto the floor;
- Spray gun – reliable tool , does not require careful care, lightweight and small in size.
What is a spray gun used for, classification of tools
Most often, a spray gun or spray gun is used to paint pieces of furniture, wooden fencing(see How and with what to paint a wooden fence), metal coating(including the car body), designer plaster and designer finishing.
There are many types of this equipment:
| Hand spray gun | This option is ideal for those who do not have significant experience in painting. When using a manual spray gun, uneven application of the layer and uneven coloring are possible, but this type of tool is extremely reliable and easy to use. Even a child can easily master it. |
| Pneumatic spray gun | The principle of its operation is based on the impact compressed air, with which paint is applied to the surface. In most cases, such a tool is used in large areas: in factory floors and large shopping centers. However, a pneumatic spray gun is also suitable for compact objects. |
| Vacuum installation | This principle is based on the contrast between the pressure inside the spray gun and at the outlet environment. The resistance of the air environment slows down the flow of the dye, which acts in the opposite way to a pneumatic tool, when used, the air, on the contrary, builds up pressure. Main strengths airless system:
This method is actively used when painting rolling stock. railways, subway cars and public transport. Coating is carried out using an airless system metal surfaces against rust. However, its use makes the paint layer too thin and susceptible to mechanical damage. |
| Electric spray guns | In this case, the paint is dispersed over the surface by an electric pump. This method is especially common in domestic conditions when renovating residential premises. |
| Simultaneous use of vacuum and pneumatic systems | The combination of these two principles is common in the production of aircraft and in furniture factories. Surprisingly, in terms of their effectiveness, all this professional equipment may be noticeably inferior to items made at home. Of course, this is achievable if you have certain skills and follow all the rules when creating a homemade instrument. |
Making a spray gun yourself
Spray bottle - ballpoint pen
The most primitive option when creating a spray gun is to use an ordinary ballpoint pen as the basis. Of course, such a tool will not replace factory equipment when painting large areas, but may well be applicable at home or in the garage.
Are you still painting with a brush? Then we are coming to you! Let's go tell you how to make a spray gun with your own hands and paint quickly and without smudges. The device is completely simple, and using ingenuity and imagination, you can make the unit no worse than the factory one!
How to make a spray bottle with your own hands from a ballpoint pen?
We're not kidding at all - a spray gun can be made from an ordinary ballpoint pen in a matter of minutes. The mini spray bottle will work from a small glass or plastic bottle. You will spend too much time painting a large amount of work with such a device, but for small crafts or painting small parts, the device is quite justified, moreover, it even has some advantages. So, you will need a square piece of plastic, rubber or foam and, of course, a ballpoint pen. In principle, any one will do, either collapsible or solid, from which only the tip is unscrewed.
First, you need to disassemble the handle - remove the paste and unscrew or cut off the end part. In short, you should have a hollow tube through which you can blow freely. We warn you in advance that this tool will work from your “traction”, however, below we will consider automated options, the main thing is to understand the principle! The cone-shaped tip (the one at the bottom of the handle) needs to be cut off a little to create a wider hole. You can experiment with its diameter - written ballpoint pens are found in every home much more often than writing pens, right?
The removed rod also needs to be disassembled and cleaned of any remaining paste with alcohol. We don't need the writing ballpoint tip; you can throw it away right away. Now let’s look at the “body”: you need to cut a corner out of a piece of plastic (rubber, foam). In both walls of the corner you need to carefully drill or pierce holes for the rod and tube. They should hold tightly in the holes; if the holes come out a little larger, it makes sense to lubricate them with glue.
We come to the most important thing - the rod, which is from the paste, should slightly extend into the hole of the tube, only 2-3 millimeters. When you align the rods in correct position, you will actually have in your hands a ready-made paint sprayer, created with your own hands. Test it in action - dip the rod into a bottle of paint diluted to a liquid state and blow into the tube. At the junction of the rods, a vortex of air is formed, which lifts and sprays the paint. If the paint doesn't lift, it's too thick.
How to make a spray gun with your own hands - complicate the design!
If you are the happy owner of a compressor, then why not make a spray gun that is inexpensive, convenient and functional. Of course, you can’t paint a car like this, but for many less painstaking jobs, such as painting furniture or walls, it will pay off. Plus homemade apparatus The fact is that its simple design does not require as much care as a factory one, and you will save a lot of money on solvents.
In addition, the spray gun you made will work even with a weak compressor producing 150-200 liters of air per minute, while professional devices require more powerful compressors.
You can make it in a couple of hours maximum. For consumables, you will need three gel pen refills, empty of course, the pen body itself, and half a meter of thin hose. To make a convenient pistol-shaped case, you will need two blocks, seven self-tapping screws to hold the parts together, the most commonplace cap from a plastic soda bottle and three strips of thin sheet metal.
How to make a spray gun with your own hands - step-by-step diagram
Step 1: Screw on the lid
We screw the lid of a plastic bottle onto the edge of the block with the back side using two self-tapping screws. The screws need to be screwed in so that a hole can be drilled between them, exactly in the center of the lid. This is what you will do once it is secured. For the hole you will need a thin drill, just the diameter of the gel pen refill.
Step 2: Rod with tip
The rod through which the paint will flow should protrude from the bar with a metal tip a few millimeters. The tip is needed to coloring composition acted evenly. Use the remaining rods to extend the main one.
Step 3: Air Tube
We attach the body from the handle from the end to the hose and fasten it on the side where the rod comes out with a metal tip. The cone-shaped end of the handle body should be in contact with the tip so that the latter protrudes slightly above the lower edge of the cone hole.
Step 4: Shut off the air
Of course, no one will turn the compressor on and off every time in order to take a second pause in applying paint. To do this, just pinch the hose. And to make it possible to do this with one hand, we will drill two holes in the block. The hose will go into the hole that is closer to the tip, and out into the next hole, forming a loop. By carefully placing a handle near the loop to hold the entire structure, you can pinch the hose with your fingers. Of course, you can come up with a more complex design by attaching an air supply regulator - it’s up to you!
All that remains is to screw the paint container to the lid and connect the hose to the compressor to get the job started! For such a sprayer to operate, a pressure of one and a half to two atmospheres is sufficient. If we classify the tool, then we have it. This means that the material will be used sparingly, and the quality of painting or varnishing will be at its best!
Why do vacuum cleaners need reverse draft - the answer to the secret!
Many owners of vintage “Rocket” type vacuum cleaners for the most part have no idea why such units have the ability to switch the motor not only for air suction, but also for blowing. You will no longer find such a function in modern units, so why was this done in Soviet products? In fact, if by some miracle the box with components has been preserved, you may well be able to find a ready-made nozzle for a spray gun among them! If it is lost in the years, it will not be difficult to make a spray gun with your own hands from a vacuum cleaner.
For successful work The device must meet one condition - constant pressure. A receiver is used for this - don’t be afraid of this word, it could very well be an ordinary soccer ball or a car wheel. Pressure reducing valve will help you control throughput unit. Otherwise, the design repeats the previous version!
Having built a housing into which you can screw a paint tank, set up a vacuum cleaner and made a receiver, all that remains is to tightly connect all the parts. Tightness is the main condition, because only if it is observed will it be possible to achieve constant pressure. So yours turned out great! You can check the work using water-based paint or lime milk on a simple object. For example, try whitewashing trees!
A spray gun (paint sprayer, atomizer) transfers the paint composition to the surface by spraying. Paint under pressure passes through a small hole and creates an even layer of paint on the surface being painted. Such a device, ranging from tiny to almost professional, can be made independently. Let's learn how to make a spray gun with your own hands at home.
ATTENTION! A completely simple way to reduce fuel consumption has been found! Don't believe me? An auto mechanic with 15 years of experience also didn’t believe it until he tried it. And now he saves 35,000 rubles a year on gasoline!
This homemade spray gun is as primitive as possible, but you can assemble it in 20 minutes with your own hands. It works by letting the paint flow out through the rod while you blow into the body of the pen. The harder you blow, the more intense the spraying occurs. Of course, it is better to test your abilities on an unnecessary surface. If you can still use it for painting a car, then for whitewashing it is better to take one where you will not need to come into contact with the tubes.
So, we need a minimum of tools to make a homemade spray gun:
- a piece of foam plastic (a compacted piece that is usually used for sound insulation plasterboard partitions or for insulation), rubber or plastic;
- simple fountain pen;
- container (preferably with a wide neck).
How to make a basic spray gun with your own hands, with which you can work not only with water-based paint, but also with whitewash?
For one-time painting, such a spray gun (spray gun) is suitable. The main thing is to stock up not only with paint and enamels, but also with patience. Of course, if you are not familiar with the technology of painting a car body using water-based paint, then you are unlikely to get an excellent result. Therefore, it is recommended to study the technology and also try your homemade spray gun on a sheet of metal. In any case, you can definitely apply a layer of water-based paint from large drops to the surface the first time.
Spray gun from an aerosol can
Another interesting way making a small paint sprayer - using an empty seamless aerosol can. When using this technology, you must carefully observe safety precautions!
The quality characteristics of this device coincide with the characteristics of a ballpoint pen spray gun.
Spray gun with vacuum cleaner hose
Spray gun (vacuum cleaner instead of compressor)
Using this method, you can assemble a more reliable unit with your own hands. And besides, such a spray gun will be universal - it can be used both for painting a car and for whitewashing. Not every vacuum cleaner can replace a compressor, since only some models are equipped with a blowing mode. They make an excellent compressor, since these vacuum cleaners have high pressure. Outdated old Soviet models such as “Whirlwind” or “Rocket” were initially equipped with their own nozzles, with which you can make a liquid spray, including for paint. Although they are not intended for whitewashing or painting a car with water-based paint, the situation can be easily corrected with the help of a working spray gun. That is, the vacuum cleaner is used as a compressor connected to a car paint spray gun.
DIY assembly steps:
Spray gun with refrigerator compressor
Let’s say you managed to make a spray bottle with your own hands or have a purchased spray bottle, but you don’t have a “Whirlwind” type vacuum cleaner, and there is nowhere to get an air source (compressor). In this case, you can try to find a compressor from an old refrigerator in a barn or garage. This unit is perfect for whitewashing or painting a car with water-based paint.
So, you now know how to make a spray gun with your own hands. If you have a source of air, then you will save a large amount, because a factory sprayer for whitewashing or painting a car with water-based paint is very expensive. This design will also help reduce the consumption of water-based paint. But you need to remember that even if you successfully assemble it yourself, you need to get good at using such a tool.
A spray bottle is an indispensable thing for household. Painting a car, doing repairs, or whitewashing trees is much easier if you have a sprayer on hand. In pneumatic it is split into small particles under the influence of air. An electric spray gun operates without the use of air - the coloring agent is forcefully thrown out through the pressure generated by the electric motor. If you don’t have a sprayer at home, you can make a spray gun yourself, and simple models require only 15-20 minutes of manufacturing time.
To make a spray gun with your own hands, you will need a spray gun and a little time
Making a spray gun
You can assemble a paint sprayer using available materials. Depending on the model you choose, you will need plastic bottle or a ballpoint pen, a vacuum cleaner or an empty deodorant can. For various purposes, your own version of the sprayer is selected. Homemade work which uses your own breath, is suitable for painting small surfaces. To assemble a quality one with your own hands, you will have to use more complex models. Let's start making sprayers with simple designs, gradually complicating the process.
Option number 1: making a spray bottle from a ballpoint pen
A hand sprayer made from a regular pen is used for painting small parts. The quality of the spray depends on the accuracy of the assembly. For this model you will need:
- Ballpoint pen and refill
- Paint container – a bottle or glass jar with a wide neck will do.
- Wine cork
- Syringe
- Glue, alcohol, toothpick
To assemble a spray bottle with your own hands, you need to disassemble ballpoint pen and cut off the tapered end of the body - this will increase the diameter of the hole. The paste is blown out of the rod with a syringe, then the tube is washed with alcohol. To do this, the nose of the syringe is heated and expanded with a toothpick.
From wine cork a corner is cut out - about a quarter. Holes of the same diameter as the rod are drilled in the center of the base of the cork and in the cap of the bottle. Perpendicular to this hole, a hole is drilled horizontally in the thin wall of the plug for the handle body. The empty rod and handle body are inserted into the holes and exited perpendicularly with minimal clearance.
The rod is inserted into the cap of the bottle, onto which the cork is glued. The small spray gun is ready - now you just need to blow into the handle body to start spraying the paint. You cannot repaint the entire car with this device, but spot painting will be quick and economical.
“Mini spray guns for painting cars can be made using a wine cork instead of wooden block, textolite, polystyrene foam and even plasticine, if you don’t have anything at hand”
Option No. 2: making a spray bottle with a gun
To make the sprayer more convenient to hold, a pistol is made. You can use regular plywood. A tube with a diameter of 4 mm is bent in an L-shape. One end of it is connected to the vacuum cleaner, on the other there is a thread for the machined one. In one piece of plywood in the shape of a gun, a recess is made for the tube, the second remains flat. This is how the handle is assembled.
A tube with a diameter of 2 mm is inserted into a glass container through an adapter. You can take a brass plug socket. A holder for the tank is cut out of sheet steel - a bracket with ears for attaching to a gun and a hole for the neck of the jar. Another homemade spray gun for painting a car is ready.
Option number 3: making a spray bottle from a plastic bottle
This hand-held spray gun for cars is made from a plastic bottle with the ability to pump air pressure with a pump. It is necessary to prepare some parts and tools in advance:
- Plastic bottle 0.5 liter or larger
- Automotive nipple
- Old aerosol paint can
- Glue, auto sealant
- Pump
You can make a spray gun at home from these materials as follows:
- Cut off the top of the can so that only the paint sprayer and the tube from it remain
- Make a hole in the bottle cap for the straw
- At a distance of 3 cm from the plug, burn a hole for the car nipple and insert it from the inside. Seal the hole with auto sealant
- Pour in the strained paint, screw on the cap with the sprayer
The spray gun for painting a car with your own hands is ready. All that remains is to connect it to the pump and pump up the air - just make 10 movements. When using a hand sprayer, it is necessary to strain the paint as thoroughly as possible to prevent the sprayer from clogging.
Option No. 4: making a spray bottle from an aerosol can
There is nothing difficult about making a spray gun from a spray can with your own hands. The most important thing is to follow safety precautions.
Method A
You will need:
- Seamless deodorant can with protruding spray pin
- Syringe
- Vinyl tube with the diameter of a syringe nozzle
A few simple manipulations will help you make your own spray paint:
- Remove the plastic top from the deodorant
- Place the vinyl tube over the syringe nozzle
- Cut the vinyl so that it fits halfway over the sprayer sticking out of the can - the valve should fit inside freely
- Filling of paint into a spray can is carried out at the rate of no more than 1/2 of the aerosol volume
- Without removing the vinyl tube from the syringe, draw paint with it
- Place the can on a hard surface, put the free end of the vinyl on the valve, press it with the nose of the syringe and pour in the liquid - this is the fastest way to fill the can with paint, repeating the procedure several times
Now you need to create pressure inside the can, that is, pump air into it.
Before pumping air, be sure to place the cylinder in a bag made of thick fabric - if it ruptures, all the contents will remain in the bag, and your hands will not be injured.
No more than 3 atmospheres are pumped into the can. The protective tip from the syringe needle is used as an adapter. By pressing the valve into the can, you will open the air from the compressor. If the process goes well, the paint inside will begin to gurgle. As a last resort, you can pump air with a syringe, but this will take a lot of time.
All that remains is to put on the button from the valve. To keep your hands clean while working, you can purchase special nozzle– a spray gun for spray paint.
Method B
If the can that is selected for the sprayer does not have a protruding valve, then you can fill the can with paint yourself as follows. For this you will need:
- Ball inflation needle
- Pen refill cleared of paste (diameter 3 mm)
- Big syringe
- Paint can without spray pin
- Pump or compressor
To fill an aerosol can with your own hands, cut 2 cm from the rod and place it on a needle to inflate the ball - the device will be needed to pump air into the can. Place a 3 cm piece of the rod on the syringe. Take the button from the can and remove it from it rubber seal, which stands at the spraying site. Place the button back on the can, insert a syringe filled with paint into the hole, press the button and push the paint into the can. Insert a needle with an adapter from the rod into the same hole, press the button, pump in air. Paint volume – 50%, air pressure – no more than 3 atmospheres.
Method C - making a reusable canister
To make a reusable spray bottle with your own hands from a can with the ability to quickly pump air, you will need the following tools and materials:
- Spray paint
- Automotive nipple
- Soldering iron, hammer, piece of wood
The essence of this design is to insert a nipple into the bottom of the can to pump air. You can make this type of paint sprayer at home as follows:
- Clean the nipple from rubber
- Tin the bottom of the can in the center and the nipple
- Drill a hole in the bottom the diameter of a nipple
- Carefully drive the nipple into the hole through a piece of wood so as not to damage the edge, solder it
- Pour cleaning solvent into the bottle, place it in a tight fabric bag, pump air through the nipple - no more than 3 atmospheres and test the sprayer
This is how a reusable paint can is made, which is used for applying coloring compounds.
Option No. 5: making a sprayer with a compressor
It is very difficult to blow into a tube from under a pen for a long time to paint a car part. It’s better to make an electric spray gun yourself with automatic feeding air. A vacuum cleaner or compressor from an old refrigerator is suitable for its manufacture.
Method A - use a vacuum cleaner
If a Soviet vacuum cleaner remains on the household, then it already has an air blowing function. You can make a spray bottle with your own hands from a vacuum cleaner like this:
- Remove the filters from the vacuum cleaner and thoroughly clean it of dust.
- Wrap the connections with tape to reduce air leakage and therefore make the pressure constant
- Connect the blowing hose to the spray gun
If the vacuum cleaner does not have a blowing function, then you can get it without touching the inside of the device. To do this, take a thick plastic garbage bag the size of a vacuum cleaner and find another hose. You can make a spray bottle with a compressor as follows:
- Take out the dust container
- Place a plastic bag over the vacuum cleaner and tightly tape the edges of the bag around the area where the hose comes out.
- IN opposite corner make a small hole, insert the second hose into it, wrap the connection tightly with tape
- Make a hole for the wire, wrap it with tape
In such a vacuum cleaner, the original hose sucks in air, and the additional hose blows it out.
Method B - using a compressor from a refrigerator
Since the operation of the compressor is intermittent, a receiver will be required. It will dampen pressure drops. You can make it from:
- Empty fire extinguisher with a volume of 5 l
- Empty gas cylinder
- Car wheel
- Two pipes that simultaneously serve as a stand for the compressor
Using a compressor from a refrigerator, you can make a high-quality spray gun Each of these receivers equalizes the air pressure and uniformly supplies it to the spray gun. Let's look at how to make a receiver from a car wheel:
- Take a stamped tubeless wheel
- Install an additional nipple in it
- Connect the compressor through the nipple with nipple
- Route the hose to the sprayer through the nipple without a nipple
For painting a car with a compressor from a refrigerator and a receiver will help to paint individual parts cars.
Accessories
When making a spray gun and working with it, you must follow safety precautions. For example, you can make a respirator with your own hands. A stand for the sprayer will also be very convenient.
Making a respirator
To make a respirator at home, you will need the following materials:
- Large plastic bottle with flat bottom
- A plastic tube (5-6 cm) that can be placed over the neck of a bottle
- A stopper that can be used to plug a pipe from the inside
- Cotton wool, gauze
- Activated carbon – 4 tablets
- Hot glue, scissors, lighter
Manufacturing stages:
- Cut a 13-15 cm piece from the bottom of the bottle, drill a lot of holes in the bottom, and make a curly cutout for the nose on the cut. Burn the edges with a lighter. Try on the design to make it comfortable
- Cut off the neck and two centimeters of the bottle from the top - this will be the cap for the bottom. Apply glue to its diameter and place it on the bottom with holes.
- Insert cotton through the neck to close the holes.
- Apply glue to the plug and insert it into the tube. When the glue is dry, drill more holes in the cork.
- On inner side put folded gauze, add crushed 2 tablets of coal, cover with cotton wool. Pour in 2 more charcoal tablets and cover with folded gauze. Try how to breathe
- Place a tube with a filter on the neck of the bottle, glue
- Wrap all joints with electrical tape, make fastening rubber bands
Making a holder for a spray gun
The simplest stand for a spray gun with your own hands is made from a sheet of plywood 10 mm thick. A square of 25*25 cm is cut out of it, in which a circle is cut out with a diameter slightly smaller than that of the paint container. A gun is inserted into a groove sawn from the edge of the workpiece to the hole. The stand is installed on legs. Their height is selected so that there is room for the hose.
WATCH VIDEO INSTRUCTIONS
Paint sprayers are made at home from various available materials. The use of such tools is associated with health risks, so they must be made and used in compliance with safety precautions. The quality of the painting result often depends on the accuracy of the assembly of a particular model.
