The Total Finishing Total Power Brush™ Painter’s Backpack: Mobility, Precision & Speed in One Game-Changing Tool
When it comes to painting efficiency, most professionals face a choice: either use a brush for precision (but at the cost of time) or a sprayer for speed (but with messy overspray and extra setup). Total Finishing Supplies has found a way to merge the best of both worlds with their Total Power Brush™ Painter’s Backpack — a mobile, self-contained painting system that offers the control of a brush with the speed of a sprayer.
Let’s dive into how this innovative backpack is redefining painting workflows on job sites and in shops alike.

What is the Total Power Brush™ Painter’s Backpack?
At first glance, it looks like a rugged backpack with a hose attachment. But inside, it’s a battery-powered, low-pressure painting system designed to deliver coatings directly to a Total Power Brush™ head. The backpack houses a 20-liter (5.3-gallon) paint reservoir, an in-line pressure regulator, and a battery-powered pump system that pushes paint through the hose right into the brush bristles.
You’re essentially strapping a mobile paint delivery system to your back, eliminating the need for traditional buckets, pressure pots, or paint trays.

The Benefits of Going “Backpack Mode”
True Mobility for Painters
Whether you’re working on staircases, cabinetry, railings, or tight job sites where dragging around buckets and hoses is a nightmare, the backpack gives you complete freedom of movement. Your paint supply is with you wherever you go.
Major Time Savings
Total Finishing Supplies estimates the Total Power Brush™ system can be up to 20 times faster than traditional brushwork. The backpack takes this to the next level by eliminating the constant back-and-forth to refill buckets or adjust sprayers.
Clean, Controlled Application
Because the paint feeds directly into the bristles at controlled pressure, there’s no atomized overspray. This makes it ideal for precision tasks where masking off areas would otherwise be time-consuming.
Perfect for Small to Mid-Scale Projects
From residential trim and molding to commercial cabinetry, the backpack system excels in environments where a full spray booth is impractical but hand-brushing is too slow.

Who Is This For?
• Professional Painters & Contractors – Tackle interior trims, staircases, cabinetry, and railings efficiently.
• Finish Carpenters & Woodworkers – Apply stains and clear coats with more control than a spray gun.
• DIY Enthusiasts – Homeowners looking to upgrade their tool arsenal for faster, cleaner results on home projects.
• On-Site Finishing Crews – When space is tight and mobility is critical, the backpack is a game-changer.

Things to Consider
While the Painter’s Backpack offers mobility and speed, it does require getting accustomed to the backpack’s weight (approximately 16 lbs fully loaded). Also, proper cleaning and maintenance after each use are essential to ensure longevity, especially when switching between different types of coatings.
