    After watching your videos on this gun I bought one. I used it to paint my new garage addition. Worked awesome. Sprayed the entire inside and outside along with he roll up garage door. Did like you instructed, taped the gun up and taped off the areas not to be sprayed. Worked awesome, clean up a breeze, gun still looks brand new. Thats Idaho Painter. Great videos.

    I’ve got the corded version and it is an absolute pleasure to run. I know they’re intended for smaller projects, which we started out just spraying doors and trim-work, but before we knew it we had painted our entire basement with no problems whatsoever.
    Cleaning is also very simple compared to other handhelds. I’ve had 2 other handheld brands before and cleaning always was such a pain. These Graco’s require cleaning 3 main components and that’s it. Would highly recommend!

    Bought today to spray some registers for our HVAC contractor. Absolutely love it. Works as advertised. This is what I wanted when I purchased the Titan Flexspray a couple offers ago - very disappointed with that Flexspray (but love my Titan 440 Impact) but really like the Graco quality and easy clean up. Great for smaller projects
    Your videos are important because your review and input are invaluable based on your experience. Although I purchased before watching this I have considered your input on many things in the past.
    Just want to say thanks

    I'm a GC but I also do handyman work. I bought this sprayer 6 months ago for small projects. It's pretty cool. Easy to pack up and "go". I was working on a job with a high end professional painter and he told me he had one of these. He said make sure you keep this unit extremely clean as the unit cannot be taken apart for repairs like a regular sprayer can. Also, keep in mind FFLP stands for "fine finish low pressure". I found even with this gun and tip running at around 4-7 is plenty enough. More than that and I get a lot of dust. I start at lower pressure and turn up until the edges feather and the fingered edges are gone spraying on test surface. :)

    I bought one yesterday. Hurrying to help my son...Restoring 4 wooden desks, as well as painting walls. We are restoring an older building my son is going to open as a addiction rehab...Sanded 2 wooden desks and sprayed a first coat of primer on both in 3 hours! Today the desks look so professionally done. I am SO in love with this tool!!! Thanks for the video. I washed and ran clear water through this to clean it. Very simple! I didn't know about the last step and need to go buy that product today. I threw away 2 bags last night. I will buy more and reuse them. Thank you very much for the video. I learned more and reassured myself in the fact I CAN DO THIS!

    Thanks Chris. After watching this video I went and got the Graco Truecoat 360 DSP electric. I can't afford the fancy cordless powered by Dewalt batteries. I had bought a Wagner Flexio 3000, which I don't know how I missed it, I thought it was airless, nope. After trying it out anyway I returned it. I had 0.31 mil plastic taped up over vanity, shower/tub insert and floor. When I started the Wagner it was blowing way too much air and the plastic and the masking tape started to come off. Graco Truecoat 360 DSP electric works great for a 36 sq ft bathroom and it actually sprayed paint unlike the Wagner which I never got to work properly anyway.

    just bought this yesterday based on your review. We are renovating our home to sell after renting it out for 15 years. I'm painting the interior myself to help save costs. This is going to make ceilings so much better. im going to use it to paint our kitchen cabinets too. it was super easy to use even for a novice. using the 18inch Wooster roller on the walls was a huge time saver. thanks for the great videos!

      The Ultra comes with a 32 oz cup. You can purchase a 42 oz cup system to use on it. That helps a little with coverage between refills. You can also buy several cup systems and fill them up ahead of time to speed things up on larger jobs. Having an extra cup system or two ready with water for cleaning is also something to think about. I found the extra large cup systems for around $24. I purchased several. Having said that I am sure my roller will still get some use. For a large room I could see myself using the roller for a coat or two and then using the Ultra for touch ups and trim.

  • @shawnbond1975
    @shawnbond1975 Před 7 lety +3

    I have the corded version. I love it! I've sprayed SW multi surface primer, Pro Classic and Resilience through a 310 fflp tip and all worked great. Even at low speed setting I could move fairly quickly and not see pulses or stripes in the finish.

  • @isakperry79
    @isakperry79 Před 7 lety +4

  • @roberobers

    @02oalmonte Před 5 lety +3

    Works pretty good. Not only are you getting fine results, your getting a good workout lol. It gets heavy after a while. Just did some doors, crown, chair rails, and baseboard. I find that 514 tip puts out too much paint and begins to run. 310 and 510 worked out great on 4-5 setting shooting SW proclassic.

    • @alejandrogomez4804
      @alejandrogomez4804 Před 5 lety

      Orlando Almonte That "Pro-Classic" by Sherwin Williams is the 💣! I'd used other SW brands as per the job but tried Pro-Classic on the last house we flipped and it's super high quality paint.

  • @bradboybradboy506
    @bradboybradboy506 Před 7 lety +21

    Great video! You will find it cleans better if you turn the machine upside-down when you have water in it. You don't have to prime/get air out either that way. I give it a good shake whilst upside-down. You can also only use waterbased with the ultra, ultra max is the one for solvent based paints. I love mine so much I bought a second one!

    @Paint Life Great video! I use the ultra for all of my cabinet and trim work. I have upgraded the batteries to the 5 Amp hour ones and also do a fresh battery change at paint refill. This helps to ensure good battery power and fine finish to the end of the project. Low battery + low pressure setting = paint spatter.

First time spraying cabinets as well as using this gun. Tried to put on a light coat at around 5 setting but tried moving up and down a couple notches. Not sure what I did wrong.. Cheers

  • @josephsabato6946
    @josephsabato6946 Před 5 lety

    I picked one of these up about a year ago. Its take a lot time and waste out of doing small spray outs. Working for a college as there in house facilities painter I get alot of small jobs and being able to spray without having to prime and clean one of my larger pumps is awsome. Also maintenance is a breeze. I really recommend it but as always make sure u keep it clean.

  • @rbilardo47
    @rbilardo47 Před 7 lety +8

    Chris after watching your video on the graco handheld sprayer I went out and purchased the 360 VSP Handheld Paint Sprayer. I used it to spray the trim and doors in the Master Bedroom and Master Bathroom, I used the smallest of the two tips that come with this and after experimenting with the different speed control found that 5 was a good speed and delivered a good spray pattern. There was quite a bit of overspray which I didn't expect. I wish they had a smaller tip size to avoid the overspray because the trim isn't very wide. I sprayed the doors and cranked up the speed to maximum and it worked very well, only problem is the paint runs out very quickly, but very easy to refill, so I can deal with that. Overall, I love this sprayer and works very good. My next project is spaying my oak cabinets white, I really have to mask very carefully for this project, your videos helped me a lot in all aspects of painting. I used to hate painting and was very sloppy at it, but after watching your videos I learned so much and can now say I enjoy painting now and am very neat. Thanks Chris, your the best..

    • @mrljvb
      @mrljvb Před 7 lety

      I have that gun as well. What annoys me most about it, is that it pulsates too much, and I can tell in the final finish. Setting the speed higher, and it put way too much material on the door that it ran. I am not impressed with the VSP.
      I do have the X18 Pro stand model. I have the blue guard which lets me use some of the newer FFLP tips, but the downside is you use a 1/4 of a gallon just to fill the hose (okay maybe not that much, but still a lot)

    • @rbilardo47
      @rbilardo47 Před 7 lety

      Thanks for your response. It does pulsate too much at the lower settings so I had to use the highest settings for a good flow. I had the same problems with the paint running on my doors, finally I figured out that if I moved the gun faster while spraying I did not get the runs, problem was it was my last door. Your right on about the X18, it's good for big jobs but not small ones......

    We have some history w/ these, mostly with poor results. It looks like Graco addressed many of our problems with this version. Better battery, better feed cup, standard tips (this is huge) and better pressure/rate control. Build quality looks (maybe?) better. We spray thick materials (firestop, intumescent paint) and use these handhelds for touch ups and tiny jobs. Makes a great mate to a bigger rig. Definitely going to purchase one.

      It definitely looks awesome, and I like the fact that you don’t have to load the so much paint into it like the big sprayers, but I have a big deck that’s 8’ off the ground that’s enclosed, plus I want to spray my foundation. I probably would have blown the handheld up with that much paint and stain.
      I also need to paint my kitchen cabinets according to my wife, that’s why I almost got the light guy. Who knows, maybe down the road. I’m just glad I came to my senses and got the proX19.
      Phew, I probably would have wanted shoot my self with that little spray gun after trying to run 15 gallons through it in a day. It does look sexy though.

      Graco makes commercial sprayers. They put their quality and knowledge into the small handheld sprayers. I would buysecond a third one and fourth. But I've never broken one either. So I recomend buying the cordless one that takes DeWalt 20VLiPo batteries. I have the corded one so eventually I'll want the upgrade too. Your best bet is to Shop it on Amazon and wait for a price drop or a sale usually in the Fall then install the Honey Browser adon to get the lowest price and any possible cupons.I've done all my doors, new trim, whole rooms and even my whole house. I swear I could paint an old beater car and it'd look brand new again. Just dont use old or cheap paint. The #1 thing is to follow the Mfg. Cleaning instructions to the letter and do not deviate from it.

    Well I'm convinced. Tip selection is critical. I only need to decide between corded and battery. I was going to buy the larger hosed unit but as a novice part time painter this will do the trick. My biggest concern is overspray.....proper selection of parts is the answer. Thanks for a fabulous video.

I don;t see how you could use just a quart with that unit where you could with the hand held. well....confused again....Hey thanks for replying, your advice and videos are extremely helpful....kudos.

    Just want to say that the particular model he’s working with is NOT the sprayer to use with flammable products. These handheld sprayers have open motors that spark, if you add that with flammable you go from sprayer to flamethrower very quickly. Graco does however have a handheld model that can be grounded to spray flammable products. Also, you can use either FFLP or LP tips on these sprayer as they are both the same thing. They are labeled differently because of the sizing but since they both use the same low pressure technology they will work the same way, so if you are looking for a FFLP tip and can’t find the size but it is available as a LP tip you can use that as well. Lastly, always strain your paint before loading into any sprayer to reduce tip clogging.

    I'm about to buy one. Bought a Graco cordless sprayer back in 2013 and it worked great. But now having issues since it's been a couple years since I used it, and misplaced the center hanging tube and even if anyone sold the replacement tube online (they don't), I need to paint my cabinet doors outside TODAY before it rains on Sunday, and no other time the rest of the month to do it, SO, off to HomeDepot to pick up this later model.

    I have the ultra and the ultra max. Love them. amazing sprayer. Yes graco had problem with them on their first batch. They recalled a bunch. but what im commenting about is. The ultra can spray oil based products but you will get a shock. they dont recommend it. that is the difference between the ultra and ultra max. the ultra max can spray oil based products. just my 2 cents

      @robalan57 Před 7 lety

      CHRONIC MARYJANE I just received the UtraMax. Going just by the manual the use of the tips included are very limited. The chart says 014 should be used for interior paint and 016 is needed for exterior. Most my paint is interior or exterior paint. The paint cans recommend 015, 016, and 017 on the ones I have. The largest tip included with the gun is 014. Has the small tip worked well for you? Have you purchased larger tips or thinned the paint?
      I am new at this so I wonder what problems using a smaller than recommended tip could cause. I would guess clogs and maybe tips needing replaced more often. Hopefully it will not wear other gun parts out faster than normal.
      Thanks for any information you can provide.

    • @jasonstride8594
      @jasonstride8594 Před 6 lety

      I was told the same thing by a rep, but I looked at replacement pumps and it seems the parts and pumps are the same, only in the ultra and ultra max that's why I went with the ultra and saved some money, I'd like to research this a little more but it seams to be the case

    • @robalan57
      @robalan57 Před 6 lety

      The UltraMax has a ground cord to use when spraying oil based paint. Not sure, but you might catch on fire 🔥 using the Ultra instead of the UltraMax when using flammable paint.

    • @chronicmaryjane852

      If you are using fresh un-opened paint that is not the case. If you're cheap and reuse old paint then it would be recomended. But if you're that cheap, you deserve clogs.

    I agree it's a great sprayer, had mine a few months now. It takes a little bit to clean Im gonna try the upside down shake it way next. I've tried the normal racX tips they work but I believe the point of this sprayer is Fine finish low pressure so it's best to use the FFLP. I shot some aluminum frames used a FFLP 210, Thumbed
    motor speed down to 1 and shot Pro Industrial urethane enamel like I knew what I was doing, No spitting No orange peel No hose and smooth as glass.also like the fact I don't have to buy entire gal. just to shoot 1 door that cuts back cost and storage. I've been spraying many years and I'm thoroughly impressed with the ultra hand held Graco is the only pump I'll ever buy my 23 yo gas 3500 still sprays and tested @ 3000psi last re-pack. Great video thanks for taking your time to show us something new.

Super Easy!

Mann I was hitting the lattice with the sprayer in minutes. Before it took 2-3 hours to do ONE side of lattice by hand. Thanks again!!

      Keep some water in a 5 gal bucket for spray tip clogs, I use a one gal can for reloading the cup, I purchased 2-42oz paint cups and bags, tighten the cup to lid well. When I refill the cups I clean out the pickup screen to remove paint impurities, I use a 5ah battery it brings a balance between the paint cup and back of the gun, this helps when up on a ladder and using both hands...
