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 a 2 lb. tank hold more powder than 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.
