Invention

When I began developing PaintBlazer & Turbo Roller I didn't want to reinvent the wheel, but make a tool I could use on my jobs. I built on existing tools combined with wireless technology.

I started my painting business in 1979 when I bought my first airless sprayer. Over the past 47 years I discovered that spray, brush and roll hasn't changed that much. Tools are only slightly better, but the painting process is basically the same.

Graco and Wagner came out with two kinds of power rollers that  sound great in theory, but in practice they don't work very well. In fact you're better off rolling out of a bucket than wasting valuable time setting up their machines that are too slow. 

The Pressure Roller  The paint travels through a hose to the inside of their specially designed frame & roller which has little holes inside the roller frame designed to allow the paint to seep through to the roller cover, soaking it with paint, so you won't have to dip the roller in a pan or bucket. 

The theory sounds good, but there's too many problems that make it slow and clunky. I personally tested 3 pressure rollers in the last few years.  The holes in the roller constantly get plugged up causing it to stop working. Then you have to take it apart and clean the holes, which takes valuable time.

You can't use different size rollers or extension poles with this unit, but only their proprietary roller and pole, which are quite often the wrong size roller and pole for the job.

The Jet roller is an airless spray roller that's connected to a spray pole and tip that attaches to an airless spray gun. A standard roller then attaches to this pole and frame. 

You can spray the paint directly on the wall while laying it off with your roller simultaneously.  This method is much faster than a pressure roller.

However, the paint is atomized with tremendous force,  (2000-3000) PSI causing a considerable amount of OVERSPRAY!  It's also very expensive. The 18" Graco Jet Roller retails for around $800 for the attachment alone, not including the sprayer. 

A small airless sprayer powerful enough to make it work properly costs between $1,000.  to  $4,000 or more not including $800 for the 18" Jet roller attachment.  

The complete PaintBlazer system, with pump and all the attachment should be around $500 - $1,000 which will put out up to a gallon per minute to handle the 36" roller or turn the pressure down low for the 6" or 9" roller.

PaintBlazer was created for people like me who actually paint houses for a living. It was made using the best ideas from existing tools, building upon the roller, sprayer, wireless technology and good old fashion ingenuity.

Necessity is the mother of invention and my paycheck is dependent upon quality work and happy customers in a short amount of time. 

PaintBlazer incorporates a new advancement in spray dynamics making this far superior to the current method. 

It sprays at low pressure-high volume, so there's no atomization, and the PSI is only a fraction the PSI of an airless sprayer, which means no overspray, less pressure, no bounce back, less costly and it's much safer.
