Graco Ultra Quickshot Review and Comparison 

As soon as I saw that I said no thanks. I'll pass!

@@TheMeanArena Well, your "regular" turbine unit which is not battery operated has this ground as well, it is just that is in your cord.

2.12 tip is for door frames. 2 inches at one foot. I use a 3.10 for base and crown oil base . Plus pressure is to high needs to be way lower ..such a mall hole will blow orpbis out ..and the green tips aren't cheap.

Hi yes the dripping was just do to not tightening well after I changed out the tip its a great rig thanks for the comment!

That is what I was concerned about.

@@randy5972 hi it was due to us not having the guard as tight after changing the tip

Is there consensus on the dripping? There seems to be multiple videos showing units drip. Was it an issue of not tightening it correctly?

Thanks for the message yes it was dripping as we switched out the tip in between scenes and didn't tighten the guard down enough

I'm a painter. I wouldn't try it.

Depends a bit for the most control and potential finish quality the turbines are great but they do require more dialing in the quickshot is much more foolproof but not quite as controllable

Just use a lawn sprayer

The replacement pump goes for 242. Dollars currently and is available

@@PittsburghSprayEquipmentCo Thank you

Yeah. F inn A right . Toss it I bought a 4 yr warranty. I will fix it and sell on eBay..

Hi there most masonry paints are a bit to thick to run well through a handheld type airless as they need a large tip, you may be able to make it work with some thinning but you would be pushing the pump pretty hard to make it work, and it may not work depending on the product you would end up spraying

Absolutely .

Hi Frank if it's a smaller set of cabinets this would be a fairly decent option if your spraying gallons 5 or more per cabinet job this may be to small of a rig

Before choosing this you may also consider a titan ed 655 or Graco gx 19 they are both good options for smaller cabinet finishing as well but not quite as portable

I would go with a quickshot for the doors the paint amount both hold are pretty similar

@PittsburghSprayEquipmentCo thanks for the reply, that's what I went with I got the quickshot yesterday. Haven't had time to play around with it yet. Why was the gun dripping on your video. Was the wrong seal in or what was causing that.

​@@matthewanderson2538 how are you liking it?

Hi yes you can spray that product with this rig

Easy

Sure will we will be doing that in the next two weeks or so

@@PittsburghSprayEquipmentCo perfect thank you im looking forward to seeing it .

Hi Ryan you can use it for a job bigger than 3 gallons it just not meant to be your primary spray rig that you spray 50 gallons a week through with the pump total usage is what it is engineered for before it needs rebuilt or replaced , the reference of 2 to 3 gallons per job and total volume before repair is to give you an idea of what the rig is meant for so you have realistic expectations when considering it as a option

As you said yes its only expected to last 150 gallons, all of these small handheld sprayers are for small jobs i.e woodwork really small areas, the pumps are consumables, and need replacement after small workloads and when packing system breaks down, compared to a full size unit, the spray section in big unit are completely rebuildable, i.e packings pistons can be replaced and are built to last the long haul, these are good machines if you want to hemorrhage money, but a full size unit will always give you more return for your investment

How many gallons is the graco 390 meant to spray before it needs to be rebuilt?

The pump is rated for up to 200 gallons. That means that after 200 gallons of material you can expect to need a new one. But it could be more or less. The pumps on these machines are replaceable though. They are priced somewhere between 100 and 200 dollars and are very easy to change.

yeah what does that mean? lol

@@Tyler-sk2rm it means it seems to have a rather short life span. The same thing everybody else says. Imagine spending $1000+ for something that only last 6 months to a year. A throw away, lol for $1000

For smaller projects it could work I wouldn't do more than 3 to 5 gallons per project unless it was a one off project

What do you mean ? It's only useful once, for a small project, or more small projects, but at different times ? If possible to use more small projects, how much time needed between two project ? Why wouldn't it work? Because motor problems, or for other mechanical reasons? For example I want to paint 3 rooms with latex paint, do I have to paint only one room in a day? Thanks and greetings

@@MultiAbrik I was meaning it is good for smaller jobs and a few jobs each month spray 4 to 6 gallons in a month every month and this rig will be a good option to consider

You could do 3 rooms with this sprayer without a problem

@@PittsburghSprayEquipmentCo Thank you

Says 200g pump life

Gallon *

Hi the price is currently 1399 pittsburghsprayequip.com/products/graco-ultra%C2%AE-quickshot%E2%84%A2-airless-spray-package?_pos=1&_sid=8c35e95c4&_ss=r

Why toss it after 150-200gal of use?

Pump can be replaced, 300 bucks

$1400.00 purchase ÷ 200 gals (if that) = additional $7.00/gal product cost over store price. Jus say'n.

uhmm.. just buy a full rig?? why would someone need 5 gallons for a unit which is intended to only spray like.. a single door or something? that makes zero sense. a full size machine needs a Qt. of paint to fill the lines, its more material that cant be used.

@@phuhque6724 Uhh, so that you can shoot a whole room without priming the lines through the silly process we have to go through? When the hopper sits on the input, it's fed through gravity. I'm not saying they can't make useless door sprayers that no one will use, I'm saying that the actual system is better, so why not make it for larger projects.

@FEV369 this thing isn't meant for spraying whole rooms, it's meant for smaller projects you don't want to have to buy 2 gallons to feed the lines when you only need a gallon. I've had multiple times doing cabs with my 440 where I needed to get an extra gallon of primer and paint so my siphon had enough to sit in and not run dry. This would be perfect because you don't need the extra. My 440 takes a ¼gal to prime the machine, this thing only needs 2 ounces. I would much rather carry this thing in to do my bases than lug in my 440 for 20 minutes worth of spraying. I would much rather carry this thing up a flight of stairs than my 440 if I'm doing trim and doors in an upstairs lived in residential. They both have their uses. If I'm in need of spraying an entire room I don't want to have to change a battery 6 times to finish, I'd rather use the 440. I don't understand what you're saying.

@FEV369 I keep my 440 at the shop with cabinets since I do all the doors and drawers there, why would I want to carry it back to the house to do my bases when I could just leave this tiny thing at the job in the kitchen and just do a quick coat and leave to do my final coats on doors drawers. I have the other handheld and it's too bulky, I bought it because of this exact scenario, I had my 440 being used elsewhere and I had a upstairs of trim and doors to do, should I cancel or make money wait so I can go get my 440? No. I'll take a handheld for smaller projects any day and let my 440 be used to make more money on another project.

@@phuhque6724 Last time, and then I need you to know I'm done talking to people like you on the internet... I don't give a fuuuuuck about there being a small unit... As I said, WHY can't they make one that is bigger? Are you capable of understanding this? Almost no one needs a tiny unit, but go ahead, make them... The question is why can't we get a bigger unit with a gravity fed hopper on it so that you don't have to physically suck the paint up a tube "priming" the system because your fighting gravity. There is simply less issues when gravity fed hoppers are used over sucking paint out of a bucket based on all reality. So I ask again, why can't we get a bigger hopper?

Just bought one will let you know . For 200 gallons I use a 495 with a 1.5 gallon hopper .

Fantastic tbh! If you're an experienced sprayer, the smaller gun is phenomenal for the tight spaces we experience with cabinetry. I use it with FPOE Hollandlac and ECO. Sprays well and I prefer this over my larger rig.

Yes, we are a professional spraying manufacturer@@slicktype001

Great review, I’ve been thinking of picking one of these up for all the trim and doors I’m replacing in my house. I’m using emerald urethane which I can get to lay out like absolute glass with a brush but it’s nerve racking and I’ll be here the rest of my life doing it. What is the end result like with emerald , is it smooth with no texture/peel?
