Preval

About Preval: Portable Spray Systems Since 1969

Founded in 1969 and headquartered in Bridgeview, Illinois, Preval has spent more than five decades establishing itself as the go-to name in portable, refillable spray technology. What began as a straightforward solution for professional touch-up work has evolved into a complete ecosystem of spray products trusted by automotive technicians, contractors, furniture refinishers, and dedicated DIYers alike.

At the heart of every Preval product is the brand's patented Venturi Vacuum Process, which draws paint or liquid from a removable, refillable container and atomizes it into a fine, consistent spray — all without mixing the propellant with the medium itself. The result is an unadulterated finish with no color change and no compressor required. The latest generation of systems introduces PrecisionFlex™ valve technology and ClearView™ spray buttons, offering improved flow control, reduced clogging, and real-time visibility into paint delivery.

Versatility Across Coatings and Applications

One of Preval's greatest strengths is the sheer range of materials their systems can handle. From water-based and latex paints to oil-based enamels, lacquers, clear coats, gel coats, leather dyes, polyurethanes, rust inhibitors, and 2K coatings — if it can be poured, Preval can likely spray it. This makes their aerosol cans and spray systems equally at home in an auto body shop, a woodworking studio, or a marine maintenance bay.

For automotive enthusiasts, Preval is particularly well-regarded for paint touch-up work. Rather than hunting for a specific color in a standard aerosol can, users can mix their exact paint, thin it to specification, and achieve a factory-smooth result from a portable, handheld unit. The system bridges the gap between a disposable rattle-can and a full-size HVLP spray gun rig — offering professional atomization without bulky equipment.

A Complete System of Spray Tools and Accessories

Preval doesn't just sell a single sprayer — they offer a full line of complementary products and accessories designed to work together. Their flagship spray guns serve as the core of the system, while ergonomic add-ons like the vGrip — found in their spray gun handles lineup — snap onto the sprayer body to provide a pistol-grip trigger for better control and reduced hand fatigue during longer projects. Refillable glass and plastic jars, dip tubes, built-in strainer screens, and replacement power units round out an ecosystem designed for efficiency and minimal waste.

Whether you need a single-unit touch-up solution or a multi-pack professional kit, Preval's lineup scales to the task. Their commitment to low environmental impact — CFC-free propellant, recyclable components, and reusable containers — reflects a design philosophy that values sustainability alongside performance.
