About Sharpe Manufacturing

Sharpe Manufacturing Co. has earned a well-respected place in the professional finishing industry by delivering spray guns and pneumatic accessories that working technicians and body shop professionals rely on every day. As a subsidiary of Graco Inc. — a globally recognized leader in fluid handling systems — Sharpe combines decades of hands-on finishing expertise with the engineering muscle of one of the industry's most respected parent companies. The result is a product lineup built around uncompromising performance and dependable, repeatable results.

Headquartered in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Sharpe has made its name primarily in the automotive refinish market, where precision and consistency aren't optional — they're the difference between a flawless paint job and a costly rework. From professional body shops to custom fabricators, Sharpe's tools are designed to meet the demands of high-volume, high-stakes finishing environments.

Spray Guns Built for Professionals

At the core of the Sharpe lineup are its spray guns, engineered to deliver smooth, even atomization across a wide range of coatings — from primers and basecoats to clear coats and specialty finishes. Sharpe spray guns are a go-to choice for technicians who need consistent fan patterns and precise fluid control without constant adjustment. Whether you're spraying waterborne or solvent-based materials, there's a Sharpe gun built for the task.

Air Preparation: The Foundation of a Great Finish

Even the best spray gun will underperform if the air supply feeding it isn't clean, dry, and properly regulated. That's why Sharpe's pneumatic accessories are just as important as its guns. The brand offers a comprehensive range of air tool hose filter/regulator/lubricator units that condition compressed air right at the point of use — removing moisture and contaminants while maintaining the ideal pressure for spray applications. Keeping your air supply in top shape is made even easier with Sharpe's filter service kits, which provide all the replacement elements needed to maintain peak performance on your FRL units over time.

For more targeted filtration needs, Sharpe also offers dedicated air tool hose filters that can be installed inline to protect sensitive spray equipment from moisture and particulates. Rounding out the air-preparation category, Sharpe's air filters provide an additional layer of protection, helping extend equipment life and maintain finish quality in demanding shop environments.
