Save Time This Christmas with Spraying

25 November 2025 2 min read

As the festive season approaches, decorators are under pressure to finish projects before Christmas, whether refreshing homes for hosting or preparing commercial spaces for seasonal shoppers, so time-saving techniques are essential. One of the most effective ways to speed up your workflow? Spraying, especially with high-quality, spray-compatible paints from Mylands.

Why spraying saves time for decorators

Spraying is a powerful tool for decorators looking to work faster, on average two to three times faster than brush and roller, and to minimise physical strain during long days. In the busy run-up to Christmas, these benefits help decorators stay on schedule and deliver exceptional results.

Mylands paints: perfect for spray application

Not all paints are suitable for spraying, but Mylands paints have been trialled by Graco and are formulated for versatility, whether applied by brush, roller or spray. Our premium ranges, including Marble Matt Emulsion and Plant-Based Multi-Surface Paint, atomise beautifully for a flawless finish. Decorators trust Mylands for consistent coverage with minimal overspray, strong adhesion and durability, rich, deep pigmentation, and low-VOC options ideal for indoor winter projects.

To make spraying even easier, Mylands offers a PSI and tip guide tailored to each product; whether you're using an airless sprayer or an HVLP system, it helps you select the right pressure and nozzle size for smooth application and reduced waste.
