Revealing the Truth: Is this $1400 Paint Sprayer Worth it? Graco Ultimate Quickshot Review

[@fernandosr.fantroy1431]

Being in the painting world since 1977 this sprayer is AWESOME, and worth the price 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾

[@BryanBuilt]

My favorite new sprayer for small jobs

[@ashboss727]

[@prestige_killa]

@@BryanBuilt well .. getting one this monday. wonder if its worth. thanks to you guys comments .. and im only using it to spray trim . and doors. kassing and why not. cabinets .. body

[@russelthomson5065]

Hey Bryan, Graco sells a product in an aerosol can that you can spray onto your equipment to prevent any paint from sticking to it. It's part of their Airlessco range. It sprays on, wipes off and leaves a very thin, almost unnoticeable film that prevents any paint from sticking to it. It's not oil or silicone based, non slimy and doesn't affect paint in any way. Makes cleanup a breeze and way faster. Even tip guards can be kept looking brand new.

[@BryanBuilt]

Oh thats awesome ive never heard of it do you know the product name ? Thanks for the tip!

[@jeff1806]

What is the product name? I looked on the Graco site didn't see it anywhere.

[@frontlinefinishcarpentry4193]

Yo! I need this. Just bought the quickshot yesterday and don't want it getting nasty like my other spray equipment.

[@bjohansk]

It's Called Airlessco "Stay Clean"

[@matthewconnors6434]

I love mine. The first time I had some issues figuring out the pressure but I’m spraying 2k with it and getting fabulous results

[@BryanBuilt]

Same here! Only issues have been when i forget tonput the inside filter on

[@barttobias3933]

I bought one a few months back for a small remodel I m on. Got mine for $1100. I love this machine. Much easier than dragging a hose. I was amazed at the near no overspray cloud I get with my other sprayer. For me it’s worth what I paid for it.

[@guadalupearredondo3573]

Where did you find it for that price?

[@barttobias3933]

Promo at Sherwin-Williams in Beaumont CA. Now are $1250

[@rathanickheng]

Is this machine good for exterior sidings?

[@barttobias3933]

Yes It is but has a finite life span on the pump. It’s better for small jobs like trim, doors, cabinets. I did paint out a few rooms completely ceilings and walls.

[@LuisC202]

@rathanickheng I wouldn't use it for that since a pump replacement is 300. I own one and it is awesome for smaller jobs as it only needs 1 oz of paint to fill the hose to the gun. My graco 390 uses more than a quart to get started

[@SalvatoreMattioli]

That’s a great video!! I have the same unit…. Definitely worth the price for the small jobs…. Thanks for sharing👍

[@bludika]

is it easy to clean? the only reason im on the fence with paint sprayers is that the cleaning part is so annoying

[@miguels6947]

Pro tip!! Spray wd40 before uses to keep it shiny clean

[@BryanBuilt]

Oh nice i will try that!

[@alexhendrixxx]

Hold on. Probably stupid question. Where exactly do you put wd40 ? 😳

[@michaelnash9644]

No never use WD40 on anything that is going to be painted. It is a displacement material and cause fish eyes in your paintwork.

[@Virgin4lyfe420]

I really like the idea of having this sprayer for small projects and touch up but for that money I feel like it’d be better for me to go with the new titan 440 x

[@nathanaymesusana]

I have the titan 440x and the Graco Quickshoot, very diferent machines , i use the Quickshoot for front door , small cabinets.

[@BryanBuilt]

yeah, it's pretty pricey. I'm not to familiar with titan I think we have only had 1. this one is for sure for small jobs and cabinets , front doors etc. iif you are needing something all around then a 440 i think would be better but if you need something specialized and easy to get in and out of small jobs this works great. thanks for watching

[@ivanochoa3384]

Absolutely two different machines gx19 graco ok but not quick shot

[@AngieWilliamsDesigns]

I love mine. It’s great. So glad I purchased it. Also.. not sure if it goes for amazon purchases. But for anyone following your amazon link to buy… they should look into the deal Graco has right now. I was able to get 3 free tips. Worth looking into.

[@alwaysrockn2009]

Looks cool but still seems way over priced. It costs more than a Titan 440 impact and won’t have close to the durability. It should have been priced around $599.

[@BryanBuilt]

I wish that would have been awesome. I think with time the price will go down hopefully

[@narutosan2006]

It may sound expensive, but as a professional i can deduct the cost of my income, and i get a much faster and more beautiful result.

[@alwaysrockn2009]

@@narutosan2006 you can deduct it but most likely it will have to be depreciated over time, expensed over time, instead of all in one year. That may depend on who’s doing your taxes. Still, it’s mucho expensive for a tiny unit.

[@tommaxwell429]

Looks great! Perhaps for a medium to large cabinet shop. But $1400 for a DIY wood shop? Probably not! That's right up there with major woodworking tools. Overpriced when less expensive alternatives will work just fine.

[@nathanaymesusana]

I recommend. 208 when you use shellac ,oil primer.

[@BryanBuilt]

thanks for the tip!

[@chuckg2016]

I've been a long time Graco fan and am one of the first to say Graco wrote the book on spraying. That said, this style pump is really common among HVLP sprayers and does not atomize a mist any better than others on the market for far less.

[@BryanBuilt]

I'm not too familiar with the pumps and specs thanks for the info! I do like using it for small jobs for the convenience and because i get consistent quality like a 395

[@michaelnash9644]

Sorry but in this instance you are 100% wrong. The Quickshot is an airless (hydraulic atomisation) sprayer that atomises paint at up to 2000 psi. A HVLP turbine is a High Volume Low Pressure air atomising sprayer with a maximum of 10 psi air atomising pressure. The technologies could not be more different to each other. Also teh Quickshot is totally unique in the market, there is nothing else like it available from any other manufacturer.

[@chuckg2016]

@@michaelnash9644 Bullshit. Same tips of the same plastic and same pump action as has been out there a long time. Somehow the video kinda skips area protection and clean up in addition to the noted frequent refills.

[@tg2631]

I have an unrelated question... I have vertical wooden corner strips of wood in some rooms. How would I cut part of the strip off? Is there a tool for that? It's really stuck on there!

[@BryanBuilt]

Hmmm? Cant really say without seeing it but im thinking a multi tool maybe would help . It can cut flush agains the wall and can be manuevered into odd spaces

I own my own painting company and I bought one last year came in handy a few times but definitely overpriced. You can buy a GX 19 finish sprayer for just a little bit more money and have a better pump with more use.

[@BryanBuilt]

Nice i have never tried a GX19 but i may have to. Agree on the overpriced little we justified it since it ws for our business as well. I think in a few years they will make a cheaper version. We do like how small and compact it is just because we fo alot of apartments and going up 3 flights with a small bag is much better then anything bigger . Thanks for watching !

It’s good for a while but I’ve been using one for about a year now and I have to say it’s on the unreliable side for me. I do cabinets as well so I use it quite a bit. Water based coatings only. I’ve had the motor replaced twice and the gun replaced twice all on separate occasions. But when it works it works well it’s just the reliability especially for the price

[@swordfish1120]

Give a follow up review after about 6-9 months. I own a Graco cordless handheld which works fine, but it has some issues that I didn't find out about right away. I'm wondering how long the pump will last in the Quick Shot (Graco claims 200 gal) before it gives up the ghost. Also, what does a replacement pump cost and is it as easy as the cordless handheld to change.

[@BryanBuilt]

will do! Thanks for the idea im going to try to keep track of the gallons sprayed.I think i have seen the raplements for around $250 not sure on how easy the install is.

[@BryanBuilt]

If youve got the budget for it the graco 395 is a great daily use sprayer. But its a pro sprayer thats expensive. We have also had great luck with the graco 210es and the avanti sparyer from harbor freight. These are both really close to professional models but made for consumers. They have lasted us 1-2 years before any issues. They run under 1k .

[@BryanBuilt]

No. It was just my first use didnt want to burn out the sprayer motor but i have sprayed straight primer in it since then

[@on4acres]

It would be nice if this was offered as a bare tool without having to buy the batteries. I have plenty of dewalt batteries and I’m sure you’re paying a premium for what are very basic batteries.

[@BryanBuilt]

Great point! that would be a good option

[@on4acres]

@@BryanBuiltwhat is actually more frustrating is these are 18V batteries which Dewalt hasn’t put out a new 18V tool in about 5 years. All Dewalt tools are now 12V, 20V or 60V. So the applicability of these batteries are even more limited.

[@silverbackag9790]

They are the same thing as US 20V. They are called 18V in almost all other countries because of stronger truth in selling laws. The 20V is marketing.

I’m a painter I want this for priming/ painting cabinets haven’t tried it but I don’t see my self spraying a whole room with this.. might be able to handle it but at the price range if your doing bigger jobs like that I doubt this is for you.

I am in the US. I reached out to Graco about this. What i was told is that the ultimate is the version that was only sold at Sherwin Williams and the ultra was the regular retail gun but that everything was the same . According to them cant say ive confirmed lol

That’s 100% correct and has been going on forever…Sherwin Williams models are Ultimate and Ultra everywhere else…exactly the same except the sticker.

[@jeremy87turbo87]

Little pro tip for you, don't wear it forward where the paintcontainer is toward the back. Have the line wrap close to your body and back toward you? And get the bigger battery and it will off weight, the unit perfect.
