Thank you for making this video! Just bought one and your video really covered all the basic questions that I had. Appreciate it!

Just bought this sprayer. Haven't used it yet. Your tutorial helped me alot. I've finished my basement and need to spray trim work and a door. Lil nervous but you did help me. Thank you!

Amazing video my friend. I just bought this for my kitchen project. Thanks for breaking down the operation which saved me lots of time. 👍🏾

Thank you so much for taking the time to teach us! Very informative!!

Thanks brother.

Bought one today and going to use it tomorrow - great video thank you!!!!!!

Video was helpful, thanks for posting. Just sprayed a basement ceiling black. Three gallons of paint went down with no issues. I called graco right before I sprayed….they stressed straining the paint before using. I did and I’m done, very little touch up the next day with a small roller.

I just bought one. Big difference vs brush or roll. Looks professional

Thanks for the video,I'm disabled and have a whole house to paint,it's just me and I think this is exactly what I need.

Very thorough explanation of use. Thank you !

Great video! I’ll be saving this for when I use mine the first time :)

Your video convinced me to get one. It arrives tomorrow 🙌🏽 thanks

Sweet .just bought one thx man good vid

helps to add a touch of dish soap as it breaks down the latex film that latex paint leves behind. Same for brushes and rollers as well.

Just bought one works great

Super good tutorial...well explained and you touched on exactly what I was and have been looking for. Keep these up, you're good at it!!! Will be using my Graco 360 this evening and really needed a good, quick, complete overview, you nailed it...

Graco sprayers rock and so do you! Thanks for the very detailed how to. How good was it? Will be buying one shortly! Thanks

nice video , i have to agree , i love mine also , really easy to use , and does an excellent job

update for you: your link shows the price down to $136.93. I don't know for how long, but people that want one should do it soon.

I just bought one, my first project was chairs! I did waste a whole lot of paint since I used the tip that came with it! Any advice I bought it to do furniture

Thx for the video 👍

Thank you!

Great video. How about the quality? Is it better than roller? and seems more paint spent than brush and roller. How do u find, how much spent more compared with roller? 20%?

Do these types of tools use more or less paint when doing projects ? Or the same vs rollers

This thing is frighten awesome. I fought w the Wagner flexio for a day and a half (piece of shit) before just spending the extra hundred bucks and I’m sooooooooo glad I did. It works perfect. Only thing which was my bad, I had the paint watered down because of the Wagner and I totally didn’t have to with the Grace. I literally want to paint everything lol. Funny at the end you said you had the flexio too.

@Archifx

No. You can let it set for about 4 days is my max

If using water based paint can you just wash in the sink with soap and water? Including if it's 100% acrylic?

you don't need to clean in if you spray next day, just turn tip 45 degree angle

Is there a lot of haze or overspray in the air or in the area that your painting?

mine shoots paint like a semi automatic handgun, very choppy and leaving hotspots everywhere. am i doing something wrong?

Can I put simple green in to clean it ?

Graco makes really good products!

Does it have a lot of overspray?

I have an X5 . Used it to paint my garage and barn . Great results ! Bought the DSP for little jobs . Not happy . Latest issue is it will prime and spray water but not paint . Was using nice clean SW paint . Had to roll a door after all the prep to spray. Ordering a new lid and o rings to see if I somehow over torqued the lid on the cup. Called Graco said that’s possible . Second time it let me down when I needed it . Graco said if it sprays H2O which it does it should spray paint . We’ll see….

Keep the spray about 16 to 20 inches away from the surface you are painting and use the top speed and yesterday a little persistent to master the speed and flow

@Archifx

Yeah. On rough sawn shiplap it is.

How is it for spray dust/overspray? I have a Graco Magnum LTS 15 for large jobs. My only beef with it is; the spray dust/overspray will get everywhere, even up under things you have covered with plastic if you don't have it all taped down and covered. If there is a way, it will get paint spray on it. So it ends up being more prep work than it's worth unless you're going to repaint an entire home and completely empty that home of all items before doing so.

Not gonna lie. It’s bad lol

My mother bought one of these for me to paint her room after it took me 6 hrs to paint one coat of primer that didn't even cover. I asked the man in paint depth his recommendation for mask. He said he never wears one. I chose not to. I found out after about an hour (which is all it took me to paint the room and that's with learning how to use it and the multiple times I had to refill) that I had more nose hair than I ever wanted to know. Was painting white over steel blue. Blue still showing through after priming but one coat of white with this sprayer and it was covered!

Does thinning the paint, mixing the paint, and or filtering the paint help any? I just bought one and plan to do walls and ceilings with this bad boy. And does the low setting help any with mess, overspray, or finishing?

This gracco sprayer is how mush price

I bought one painted the whole house can't say one thing bad about itp

Nah, for same price you can get the cheaper Wagner pro 150, and for same price or less the Wagner 250 Pro (both of which leave the Graco in the dust)

Things I hate about painting: 1. Prepping/moving furniture or covering it with plastic 2. Taping edges 3. Sanding or patching the wall 4. Buying the right quality paint (don’t waste your time and money with cheap paint) 5. Uneven “zebra” finishing 6. Wife decides 1/2 through the job she doesn’t like the color 😡 7. Drying time and odor 8. Cleanup, mess, waste, spilled paint 9. Moving furniture back 10. Do it all over again in five years cause wife says she’s “Tired of the color.” 🤬

Decent tutorial, however, considering that your tutorial is to show the effectiveness of a sprayer, you chose white paint to paint over a white wall??? Sorry, my wife and I had a head scratcher moment while watching it.

it was hard to see how well it covered, with the white on white.....

I bought one at the beginning of the year, it looked like it had been put together by a crackhead in the factory. If it looked awful on the outside I couldn’t imagine what it would look like on the inside where the important parts are. Sent it back for a refund without even using it. The build quality was terrible.

Recently bought a Graco 360 vsp , not happy with the unit , low speed I get too many pulse , higher speed too much runs , by the way I am using it to spray clear coat on the stairs

@dougw938

I think you just need to practice your pace/technique on some scrap cardboard, higher the speed faster you need to move the gun to avoid buildup, and viceversa on the slower speeds to avoid gaps. All materials are different so there's no 1 magic speed and pace - that's why I chose the VSP over the dual DSP, more control.

I just used mine and after one cup of paint the motor went out, piece of garbage. Maybe I’ll post a video of me smashing it against a tree.

I’d give it another try. Sounds like a lemon. You can easily just return it and swap it for another. I’m telling you airless is the way to go. You just got a bad apple.

This thing makes a huge mess. The amount of overspray is unreal. You better cover EVERYTHING that you don't want paint getting on. My favorite part is sticking to the ground when you walk because it oversprays that much. Plan on taking your shoes off to leave the work area. And it lays down a very uneven coat on the low setting, every single pulse of the motor leaves a corresponding light spot on what you are painting. The high setting is much better coverage but you also increase the amount of overspray at the same time. Clean up is also extremely messy. Given the amount of prep it takes to protect everything that isn't getting painted, the uneven coats and the pain in the rear clean up, it isn't worth it. I could see using this if you had a dedicated paint booth but if you've laid out that kind of cash, you've already bought a professional sprayer...

Not a big deal with sprayers, they're all inherently messy. As long as the overspray doesn't build up so much to clog or impede the pumps air intakes it's no harm. Soapy towel, wipe it down..

The internal transmission device is plastic. It snapped off after my 3rd use. do NOT recommend this sprayer...
