How To Clean A Graco GXFF (GX19/ GX21) Airless Paint Sprayer 

Appreciate the support. I know how hard it can be to get to the point information. Thats a reason i made the channel ✌️

Haha if you clean it well its not ways necessary, but its good to know where things are and any potential blockage areas. The ball bearing has that button to release it, if it doesnt work thats what you undo it all. Also good to have a proper clean for maintenance really. The new pumps are cheap and a quick change. I'll do a video soon on that one

awesome stuff thanks for the support. hope you find the videos helpful. im always on instagram if you have question about machines

You dont need to.strip it like mine. This was a more thorough clean. Just rinse the hopper a few times and then milky water in the line is absolutely fine.

@@sprayaholic could do with some of your expert advice or tips. used my gx21ff toady on Bannisters was using auqa undetcoat got a few runs on the first coat second was much better. Gonna be spraying aqua guard tomorrow. I have a 310 ,210. 110 graco ffllp. Want to avoid runs if possible. Cheers

@@richardloze5994 its on my to do list aswell as a starter airless video. I mainly use 110 for spindles. If you have runs, youre either, too close, or not moving fast enough. Better to.go faster and come back to re coat than lag it on too thick and.wait for.it to dry. Its a good idea to have a sponge roller with you, dab runs gently and give a light slray ontop and should blend in

thanks for the support. I still brush and roll but once you commit to spraying youll see how much fast and also less labour on the body. if you havnt seen this video its worth checking out. How to mask up a room ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CVQfqQ0ZZOY.html

@@sprayaholic Cheers

Thanks for the support. Lots of other videos on the channel that could help too ✌

@joseph7105 you dont need to run it dry. Either tip the water out the hopper or prime it out. As soon as you see it gone in the hopper add the paint. Then prime it for like 5 seconds to cycle the water out and make sure thetes not air in there. The. Flick into spray and blow the water out the hose until you see paint and youre ready to go

I always keep it with fluid in. This helps prevent inside from drying out. Also stops paint drying on the lining in the hose so would stop flaking paint coming through. Add a splash of graco pump armour or somethinv like that. It helps prevent rusting and freezing and also keeps it lubed inside

Ok I use gracco armoir with water but I was thinking about removing all the water out but I was not sure, but you say it’s better to have it with liquid

@user-nf2pi8fr9k yes always better to keep the inside wet.

Thanks. I always recommend keeping it all connected. That way nothing gets a chance to dry out internally. Such as paint in the hose which could flake off later fown the line. Best to keep in all connected and wet

thanks for watching, hopefully the video helped you

If i remember when you unscrew it. The ball falls out then the spring behind it and the plastic cage behind that. Take a look at the manual for a blown up diagram if you get stuck

@sprayaholic thanks for your reply mate. I've managed to sort it. The spring fits on small metal prong, then the bearing rests up against that. Without the spring in position I was getting leaks from the pump whilst priming. The spring stops it.

@p505c587 glad you sorted it out to get back up and running ✊️

I dont think they come with them fitted now. May be mistaken though. No i dont use it. Its too small and gets clogged easily, which can then just jam the machine up, meaning it gets messy when trying to access it to clean. As its not as accessible as other machines. You can buy an additional larger filter housing you can screw on which is alot better . Just filter your paint first will help, or use paint nets

@@sprayaholicok thanks I won’t use it then if you don’t use it I always clean the paint even when is new, I always leave a strainer so It like having another filter I won’t buy that then thanks

Good question. But no. Just in prime so you only use a small amount each time. Although yes you can run it through the hose especially of youre in areas Subject to freezing as it helps prevent freezing

i dont think they fit them as standard now, i think theyre just in the box seperatly

Dont rule out the qtech qt190 with hopper. I think it might be cheaper and its a a solid pump. I can find a price for you if you drop me a message on Instagram

Firstly what size tip are you using? I take it out because in my opinion its that small it can just case issues. If it blocks then thr machine will stop and it will be messy to get it out and clean. If you filter your paint into the hopper that helps dramatically. Can crap or lumps in the paint will travel to the gun, if that filter is clogged clean it. Smaller tips will block more as the hole is smaller to shoot through

You could do and i know alot who use it for that. Depends on the paint, 208, 308, 210 310. Some guys use the .06 like 206. Or even 311 sizes. You can load a lot of paint on so be careful

theyre ment to be self lubed pistons in a sealed unit. so generally theyll be fine.. ive never oiled mine and its maybe 5 year old now

You can use bin. You just need to make sure youre cleaning out well afterwards. Depends on rhe products you need? 123+ is nice and you could potentially use BIN in a rattle can to spray in knots etc

@@sprayaholic cheers mate,I've started getting busy respraying kitchen cabinets and was wondering if this unit would suit work

@@gb7414 gxff is a good unit for the price. Alot use it for kitchens qs its so cheap

Advertised qs self lubricated. As its in q sealed chamber. But you can take it apart and add oil

Hey. Yes its the same motor as the gxff. A new pump costs around 100 pounds so cheal repair you can do yourself

So is £450 a good price, its only sprayed 50ltrs of paint since he bought it a year ago, it does look like new

Possibly a transducer issue. Have you got a service centre near by

It can strip the blue off of it. If been using waterbased paint. Just leave it in hot water and try a tooth brush on jt. It should come clean. Or virasol for a short period i wouldnt leave it long its stripped the hvlp finish colours on the fuji caps too

@@sprayaholic I thought it might do that. It's cleaned hard aqua gloss brushes 4 days later back to new. Amazing stuff. I'm the same, only use waterbased so I'll try the soak it warm water trick first. 👍🏻

@Daniel Woolcock well spray some or soak it for like an hour and then hot soapy water should get it off. I use gun wash alot as come straight off then rinse in soapy water after

@@sprayaholic I'll get some of that then mate. Never thought of that. Thanks 👍🏻

@Daniel Woolcock again i dont leave things soaking for long i clean it while im infront of it. The virosol nightmare has scared me haha

Not really i know the limits. Waterbased paint, its a sealed unit so its fine. But thanks for the "stupid" comment 🖖

@@sprayaholic lazy work...no pro would do that been spraying 20 years

@nickycocreator7694 haha ok boss man. You do you

😂...Gave me a good laugh any how

@nickycocreator7694 thats all that matters Thanks for watching 🖖
