I gotta finish painting the inside of my home. Laundry room, bedroom, master bath, kitchen and four closets. X5 seems right. Might be able to make it pay for itself. Good review. Thanks.

@tdwilcox 9 месяцев назад

We painted 5 houses last year with garages and the x5 still runs like a new one. You must keep it cleaned and well maintained.

Lacquers are OK to spray as long as the recommended thinner isn't too aggressive for the pump. If you're unsure, please let us know the exact lacquer you're wishing to spray and we can look into this for you!

when you say its good for 10-15 liter a day and 475 liter a years, what you mean ? if you go 500 liter in a years the pump will break ? what if you do lets day 550 liters in a years and you dont use it for 2 years ? is it good to paint kitchen cabinet and trim/molding in room ?

@rickmarders4302 2 года назад

My question is if you spray more than 125 gallons in a year do you have to replace a certain part after that amount of sprayed or do you have to do a certain service after that mount is sprayed? Any help would be greatly appreciated

@GOIndustrial 2 года назад

Hey Rick, Great questions, thanks for the comment! The limit is set to ensure that the motor and pump components are operating within their safe limits. If you were to spray more than the limit the machine might be fine, however, it does increase your risk of having issues and burning the motor out. There isn't really a service procedure for this, i'd just recommend flushing the machine thoroughly between jobs, using pump armour and if you have any issues, getting the unit serviced. Hope this helped! 🙌

@ubernsealey1842 2 года назад

I have the exact question because I wanna start spraying homes part time but 3.9 gallons of paint isn’t a lot.

@GOIndustrial 2 года назад

@@ubernsealey1842 I'd recommend looking at Graco's professional contractor range for this type of application. Anything from the Graco 190 to the Graco 495 should be plenty for daily interior/exterior painting.

@rudyramirez4839 Год назад

Thats funny, i was wondering the same thing because the hose fits on a 5gallon bucket. I haven't seen 3.9gallon paint buckets. We have ran it for entire house about 5-10gallon and it work fine as long as we take breaks between buckets so it does not overheat. This is probably why we need to go buy another one. Lol

@markdoyon6087 2 года назад

What one would be good to spray a 20foot shipping container?

@GOIndustrial 2 года назад

Not this little guy! If you're looking to spray a solvent based paint, I highly recommend our Graco Merkur ES 30:1 - this is an air-driven, airless sprayer. I definitely recommend air driven motors versus electric motors for solvent based paints, as you do not run the risk of spark (and serious injury). Please see the link as follows: goind.com.au/products/graco-merkur-es-air-assisted-sprayer-range They are a tad more expensive, and do require a sizeable air compressor to operate (30CFM), but is the correct equipment to use for this application!

@mr.d4295 2 года назад

What sprayer is good for solvent based paint?

@xbrizzcakez Год назад

Saw your question, these units have brush motors which can create a spark which in the worst conditions which would be excessive overspray of a volatile material indoors near the unit could cause a flash fire or explosion💣Look for a brushless motor unit, probably in the $1100-$1300 range. This would be a unit that would handle larger production and last for years...

@@ZER0o10 The X5 will definitely handle a single story exterior, if you're using a water-based exterior acrylic paint. If you have any doubts, I would also consider the ProX17 as an option. However we have many customers who have sprayed smaller homes just fine.

Can I spray my concrete tile roof with this?

@GOIndustrial Год назад

Unfortunately not! If you're planning on spraying a roofing membrane, which is a lot more viscous than standard exterior acrylic paints, the motor and pump are too small on the X5. You will be needing to hire a larger airless sprayer, at minimum the Graco Ultra Max II 490PC. Please let me know if you have any questions!

@scottyach8766 Год назад

So when I hit the maximum use I have to buy a new unit? That sounds crazy

@GOIndustrial Год назад

Hey Scott, not entirely! The 'maximum' usage is a guide for general pump-wear, and ensuring that the machine isn't being overused. This should give you a solid idea if the machine is a suitable size for the amount of work you've lined up! Keep in mind, these are a DIY unit, and if more product is being used, you may need to be using a professional machine.

@scottyach8766 Год назад

@@GOIndustrial I purchased an x5. I'm just trying to wrap my head around the statements made about use. I understand I shouldn't go nuts and start painting an entire house and everything in site. But if I use it next week to stain my deck with 3.5 gallons and then next year paint 4 interior rooms and a basement. IM looking for a lifetime purchase or at least something I can rebuild a pump and continue to maintain.

@GOIndustrial Год назад

@@scottyach8766 it's mainly in respect to duty cycle - don't slam the machine for 5-6 hours straight with 10 drums of material for example. It'll be capable for those jobs you've mentioned - I'd definitely pick up some FFLP (fine finish low pressure) tips to ensure you're running the pump at the lowest pressure possible. You'll be able to rebuild the inlet and outlet valves no problems, the pump however is one component, and is costly to replace. In saying that, a lot of our customers are getting an easy 4-5 years+ use, and decent use for that matter, until we hit any servicing issues!

@scottyach8766 Год назад

@@GOIndustrial see that makes sense to me however I would still think when purchasing a product it should be rebuildable at given service intervals or if its starting to fail. If I take care of my product and use it over a 5-6 yr period and as Parts fail I would assume parts would be available for rebuild or replacement at a cost cheaper then buying a new unit. And that is how it is being projected. I have seen these machines being sold to people used that obviously look as though they were used hard. Dude buys it thinks he got a deal but yet its worn out. I would think serviceable parts should be available or ar least Dealer repair or rebuild at a less cost then new. my opinion right or wrong

@joshirwin7904 2 года назад

cant use oil based paints?? why?

@GOIndustrial 2 года назад

Hey Josh, Thanks for the comment! The main issue with this comes from spraying solvent-based materials. Either in the paint or the thinner that is needed for cleaning and thinning the paint. The machines all have brushed electric motors, meaning spraying flammable liquids can be dangerous, mainly in enclosed areas. If you're looking at decking-oils, Cabot's do a really good water-based decking oil. Hope this helps mate! Cheers
