paint gun

Pressurized color applicator

A paint gun is a tool that sprays paint through compressed air, used for coating surfaces more quickly and evenly than brushes allow.

Professional painters use paint guns for vehicles, furniture, and walls.

The term also refers to paintball markers—air-powered guns that fire gelatin capsules filled with colored dye for recreational combat games.
