The 12 Best Fence Paint Sprayers for 2023

If you have an old, outdated fence that would benefit greatly from a fresh coat of paint, or you've just installed a fence and you want it painted, a paint sprayer can significantly increase your speed of finishing your project and can provide a very smooth finish that rollers and brushes will not give you. In this guide, we're going to go over the best paint sprayers for fences in 2023. We'll provide you options that are suitable for one-time and occasional projects, as well as those that can stand up to heavy, frequent use.

Wagner Control Pro 190

Our first recommendation is the Wagner Control Pro 190. This is a corded paint sprayer that can support up to 1400 PSI of spray pressure and delivers upto 0.4 gallons per minute of flow. At this pressure and flow ability, the Wagner Control Pro 190 can spray un-thinned latex paints. This makes it convenient and effective for spraying any paint you may need to for your fence project. The tip that it comes with is a high-efficiency tip meant to spray while at low pressures. This will let you spray your fence at a lower pressure and will help you to not get as much over spray when doing your fence painting project.

Wagner FLEXiO 590

If you're on a budget, the Wagner FLEXiO 590 may be the perfect route for you. Retailing around $200, this small, corded paint sprayer will let you spray a variety of paint, including latex-style coatings, while with thicker paint,it won't always give you an absolute smooth finish. If you're just spraying your fence with spray stain or a thinner paint material, or you want the job done and you're not too concerned about having mirror-like finish on the fence,the FLEXiO 590 can be a great option to help you get your fence painting done.The 590 includes the optional fine finish nozzle, which will give you a decent outcome.

Graco TC Handheld Airless

The Graco TC Handheld Airless is a corded airless-type sprayer that fits in your hand and can atomize like a traditional airless. It supports up to a 16 thousands tip and can spray un-thinned latex without much difficulty. The consumer version of the TC Airless can be used with waterborne paints but not solvent based paints. If you're going to use a solvent-based-type paint, you'll want to use the Pro version of the TC Handheld Airless on your fence painting project

Graco Ultra Handheld Cordless Sprayer

The Graco Ultra Handheld Cordless Sprayer is almost identical to the TC Pro and TC Handheld Airless. The Ultra Handheld Cordless is suitable for waterborne or mineral spirit-based finishes. It can use up to a 16 thousands tip, which will allow you to spray a variety of material including un-thinned latex coatings. The handheld design is convenient. It comes with a disposable cup lining system that makes cleanup fast and simple. If you're not wanting to deal with cleaning out a full paint sprayer at the end of your project, consider a Graco Handheld TC or Ultra handheld Airless Sprayer.

Graco Magnum X5

The Magnum X5 is a fully functional paint sprayer that can be used not only for your fence painting but can also be used for your exterior painting or interior painting of your home. If you're looking for a sprayer that'll be usable and useful for a project beyond just your fence, the Magnum X5 is the way they go. You can use this sprayer with solvent or waterborne paints, and it supports up to a 17 thousands tip.  If you want to spray lacquer with the Magnum X5 you will want to get the lacquer upgrade kit, this kit changes a few items to a different material on the sprayer so that it can be used with lacquer.

While the models we've recommended above are well-suited if you're doing the occasional fence or have a home project you're looking to spruce up, there are others who want a paint sprayer and need to depend on it for volumes of fences that they deal with every year. If that's you, look below at our recommendations for contractor-grade paint sprayers that will hold up and perform well for your fence painting needs.

The Graco 390 Cordless or Corded Airless Paint Sprayer

The Graco 390 Cordless or Corded Airless Paint Sprayer can support up to a 21 thousands tip and deliver 3300 PSI of pressure. This makes the 390 suitable for paints ranging from exterior to interior paints and certainly capable of delivering enough pressure and performance for a fence painting project. The 390 comes in a few popular formats, including the highboy or stand format. The highboy can tilt straight back and be put directly into a five-gallon bucket, making it very fast and efficient at changing in between large quantities of coating. If you're really going to do heavy volumes of fence painting, consider a 390 highboy. The stand model is more portable. It comes in either a corded or a DeWalt battery-powered version. If you're looking for portability but performance, the cordless version of the 390 can deliver 2.2 gallons of delivery on each DeWalt battery charge. Put a battery on your fast charger. Every 20 minutes, you can change out the battery. This will let you spray continuously with a cordless sprayer that is designed to perform like a contractor quality paint sprayer.

The Graco GX19 Cordless or Corded Paint Sprayer

While the 390 mentioned above will let you work directly out of large containers, the GX19 has a similar pump and performance spec but has a small hopper built into it. This makes the GX19 ideally suited for portability and easy quick cleanup. The hopper on the GX19 has a 1.5-gallon capacity. It is also available in a corded or cordless version and comes with a slightly smaller diameter hose. This makes it clean up quicker and easier than the 390. It can spray waterborne or solvent-borne paints.

The Titan 410

The Titan 410 is another contractor-grade professional sprayer that can easily be used for anything from general painting projects around the home to painting the fence project you need. It can spray any paint from thin latex to solvent-borne stains and more. While it's not cordless, it will deliver performance and, compared to the Gracos above, will be more price friendly. It is designed to easily spray 30 gallons or more a day without trouble. It is available in a high boy or skid format as well.

Titan ED655

The Titan ED655 is a hopper-style airless sprayer that is corded. It is less expensive than the GX19-type models and can spray up to un-thinned latex. However, the max GPM of this pump is slightly lower and so has a maximum tip size of a 15 thousands tip. But if you're looking for a convenient cleanup and a lighter profile, the E655 will be less heavy than the GX19.

Graco Ultra Max Handheld

Our final fence painting sprayer recommendation as an option for your fence work is a Graco Ultra Max Handheld. This handheld airless sprayer can spray un-thinned latex and water or solvent-borne type paints. It runs on the DeWalt battery system. It has a disposable cup-type liner making it one of the quickest and easiest to clean up after your project is done. The pump on this sprayer is designed for the occasional couple of gallons at a time. If you're going to be spraying gallons a day, we wouldn't recommend making this your main sprayer. But if you need to do touch-up work or small fence sections regularly and routinely look no further, as this battery-powered handheld airless sprayer is fast and convenient for those type of fence projects.

Now, you have a variety of options to consider for your fence painting project. For us, if we were going to make recommendations for a handheld, we would recommend for professionals the Graco Ultra Max Handheld. While if you're a homeowner, we like the Wagner FLEXIO 590 Corded Sprayer. Or if you can make it work, go for the full-fledged Wagner Control Pro 190, which would be suitable both for your fence and another project down the road. If you're going for something more contractor-grade, we like the Cordless GX19 and 390 Airless, as they have the dependability of a proven contractor sprayer with the convenience of a battery-powered system. This can make it convenient and effective for painting fences in areas where you don't have easy access to any cords.
