Read the full description
Madalia is a cordless paint sprayer for anyone who wants to refresh furniture, fences, doors or shutters without spending the afternoon with a brush or trailing an extension lead. It runs on a removable rechargeable battery that drives a low-pressure turbine, which turns paint into a fine mist and lays it down in even coats. It is made for DIY at home and in the garden, including for anyone new to spraying.
A cordless paint sprayer: no cable to drag
As it does not depend on a socket, you can paint the fence at the far end of the garden, a pergola or a piece of furniture out on the patio with no extension leads and no cable brushing against wet paint. The batteries are removable: when the one fitted runs down, you swap it for a charged one and carry on. The number of batteries included is given in the specifications table.
The trade-off is runtime. A battery sprayer works for less time at a stretch and usually delivers less flow than a corded one, so it pays to plan the job in stages and have every battery charged before you start.
A furniture paint sprayer for an even finish
On a chest of drawers, a set of chairs or a panelled door, a brush leaves marks and builds up paint in the corners. The sprayer reaches corners and mouldings with the same coat over the whole surface. Several light passes give a smoother result than one heavy coat, and the paint dries more evenly.
Nozzles and spray patterns for every surface
It comes with several nozzles: the finer ones for varnishes and stains, the wider ones for thicker paints. Turning the cap lets you choose a horizontal, vertical or round pattern, depending on whether you are painting fence slats, the edge of a door or a small detail. The flow control limits how much paint comes out, which helps on the base coat and on narrow pieces.
A sprayer for walls, fences and varnishing
As well as furniture, it suits wooden fences, trellises, garden sheds or a small wall. On large surfaces, protect the surroundings very well, because the paint mist travels further than it seems, and expect to refill the container and swap batteries several times. Which paints it takes and whether they need thinning is shown in the specifications table and, above all, by the maker of each paint.
How to use it
Charge the batteries
Charge them fully with the charger supplied before you start and fit one to the sprayer.
Protect and ventilate
Cover the floor and nearby furniture, open the windows or work outdoors on a still day, and put on glasses, a mask and gloves.
Prepare the paint
Stir it, thin it if its maker says so for spraying, and strain it as you fill the container.
Choose nozzle and pattern
Fit the right nozzle, set the pattern and test on a piece of cardboard until the mist comes out evenly.
Spray in parallel passes
Keep the sprayer at a steady distance and move it from side to side, overlapping each pass slightly.
Care and maintenance
Clean the sprayer as soon as you finish, before the paint dries. Empty the container, fill it with water or the solvent the paint calls for, and spray until it runs clear. Then take the battery out, remove the nozzle and the valve and wash them with a soft brush. Do not wet the body of the sprayer, the battery or the charger. Let all the parts dry before reassembling it and store the sprayer somewhere dry, with the batteries out of the tool.
Frequently asked questions
What paint can you use in a cordless electric paint sprayer?
In general, water-based paints, enamels, varnishes and wood stains, sometimes thinned. The list for this model and its maximum viscosity are in the specifications table. Check the tin as well: many makers state whether their paint is suitable for spraying and how much to thin it. Do not use paints with flammable solvents unless the manual allows it.
How long does the battery of a cordless paint sprayer last?
It depends on the paint, the flow you set and how charged the battery is, and it is always less time at a stretch than with a corded sprayer. The approximate runtime and the charging time are in the specifications table. For long jobs, start with every battery charged, swap them when you notice it losing strength and put the one you have just removed on charge.
How do you thin paint for a sprayer?
Follow the paint maker's ratio and add the thinner little by little, stirring as you go. The measuring cup supplied helps: fill it and count the seconds it takes to empty; if it takes longer than the manual says, thin a little more. Always test on a piece of cardboard before painting the item.
Is it suitable for painting the walls of a room?
It can be used on a small wall, but for a whole room you will need to refill the container and swap batteries several times, and carefully protect the floor, ceiling, windows and sockets, because the paint mist spreads. For large walls, many people combine a roller on flat surfaces with the sprayer on doors, radiators or corners.
Is it good as a furniture paint sprayer?
It is one of the jobs it suits best: chests of drawers, chairs, tables, wardrobe doors and pieces with mouldings, where a brush leaves marks. Sand and clean the furniture beforehand, apply several thin coats rather than one thick one, and leave each coat to dry for as long as the paint says.
Why does the sprayer spit drops or not spray properly?
It is nearly always because the paint is too thick, the nozzle is too small for that paint, there is dried residue from a previous job or the battery is nearly flat. Thin it a little more, try a larger nozzle, lower the flow, swap the battery and check that the nozzle and valve are clean. Straining the paint as you fill the container prevents many blockages.
