The hand held spray gun can hold about one litre of paint. This is a kilogram weight on the spray painters hand. The gun must also be refilled every few minutes. With every refill, you slow the job down and you stand a chance of a slight colour difference. By the time you refilled the gun, the previous paint has dried and the new paint forms marks and increases the polishing work. With Airpower paint pressure pots, you can spray continuously until the 10 litre or 24 litre pot is empty. Without any delay.

A standard gun holds only 1 litre, requiring frequent refills that slow down production and can cause color variations. Airpower pressure pots (10L or 24L) allow you to spray continuously for large jobs without stopping, ensuring a consistent finish and significantly faster work rates.
Yes, pressure pots often require agitation to keep the paint mixed and prevent settling, especially for metallic or heavy primers. We can advise on models with manual or air-driven agitators depending on your material needs.
The pot itself doesn’t consume air, but the spray gun attached to it does. You generally need a compressor that delivers at least 10–14 CFM (roughly a 3HP/150L unit or larger) to maintain the constant pressure required for high-quality continuous spraying.
Yes, but you must ensure the pot and lines are cleaned thoroughly immediately after use. Our pots are robust, but dried water-based paint can corrode or clog fittings if left to sit. Stainless steel liners are often recommended for water-based applications.
One of the main benefits of a pressure pot is the ability to spray upside down or in tight spots without the weight of a cup. You can typically run fluid and air hoses up to 10–15 meters, allowing you to paint large structures or ceilings while leaving the heavy pot on the floor.
