spray painter

Pressurized paint applicator

A spray painter is a person who applies paint using a spray gun rather than brushes or rollers, typically in automotive, industrial, or artistic work: The spray painter finished three cars today.

The term also refers to the equipment itself—a handheld device that atomizes paint for even application: She bought a new spray painter for the fence project.
