Aerosol vs. Airless: DIY Auto Paint Showdown

In this video, we’re comparing two popular DIY methods for painting car panels — an electric airless sprayer and an aerosol spray can. Both are budget-friendly, easy to get, and don’t require a compressor… but can they actually lay down a smooth, professional-looking finish?

We test both tools side-by-side on the same panel using the same paint system. You’ll see how each one performs in terms of:

Coverage and control

Smoothness and orange peel

Ease of use

Overspray and waste

Final results and gloss


This is the kind of test every DIY auto painter wants to see — because let’s be honest, not everyone has a full paint booth or a high-end spray gun setup
