Using a spray applicator like this gives a much more even application of paint. It also gives perfect coverage every times and the surface properties are maintained.
You are much more likely to get irregular paint application with brush strokes or roller marks still visible on the surface. Air spraying eliminates these marks ane leaves for a much better finish.
