Makita 18V Paint Sprayer 1000ml — Cordless 🎨
Description:
This cordless paint sprayer pairs with Makita 18V batteries to tackle fencing and decking quickly while keeping mobility around the garden. It is aimed at DIYers who need a handheld solution for painting outdoor wood and furniture, offering three spray patterns and a 1000ml paint tank for extended runs.
Key Points
This spray gun accepts common Makita LXT 18V battery packs but the battery is not included. It features adjustable spray patterns: horizontal, vertical and circular, which helps when working on panels, slats or spindle-style fencing. The unit is supplied with two copper nozzle sizes, 1.8 mm and 2.5 mm, to cover thin paints and slightly thicker emulsions. Cleaning is straightforward, with a needle and brush included to clear hardened residue and keep flow consistent. 😊
Benefits
The brass nozzles resist clogging and are more durable against impact than plastic replacements, which can reduce interruptions during larger projects. The 1000ml container reduces the number of refills compared with small pots, allowing longer continuous spraying sessions for gates and decking boards. The cordless format increases reach and removes the hassle of trailing leads on uneven ground. Note that paints may require dilution before use, and the manufacturer advises a paint to thinner ratio of 3:1 for best atomisation. ⚠️

Usage Recommendations
Start with a test spray on cardboard to fine tune flow and pattern, especially when switching between paint types. For thicker paints dilute according to the suggested 3:1 ratio to avoid clogging and maintain a smooth finish. Clean the nozzle and needle immediately after use to prevent build up, and store the sprayer with the tank empty and wiped dry. For fence pickets and decking boards work in consistent passes and keep the nozzle at a steady distance to minimise runs and achieve even coverage. 🧰
