2017 Graco Ultra/Ultimate Handheld Sprayer Overview and Demo

[@melissaredmond4397]

This is the best tutorial on the Graco Ultimate!!! Thank you, so much! You are awesome!

[@christiangaravaglia6817]

Great video. Just ordered mine from SW I was sold anyway but you guys broke it down from a professional perspective and gave a realistic scenario with that door. I am planning on supplementing this gun along with my sprayer but for a door or 2 or bathroom trim I'm excited to use it. Thanks again.

[@PreptoFinish]

Thanks Christian, and happy spraying...

[@anijohnson8082]

What an awesome teaching. I didn't know anything about any kind of spray painting and I am sold. Looking for one now. Thank you!

[@magicmike6961]

they only cost $1000 so knock your self out

[@martyray518]

That's what I'm talking about !! I'm getting one . Thank you , great demo. Thanx Graco!!

[@PreptoFinish]

Thank you

[@willdorak985]

Looks like it works a lot better than my Wagner Flexio sprayer. Amazing!

[@patrickniedermeyer2112]

Well, I think Wagner owns Graco now.

[@michaelanderson6764]

Great video guys! Really helped me as a DIYer decide to buy one of these for my millwork project.

[@3djustin]

Appreciate this review. I've been thinking this is the tool I want to go to for spraying casings in place.

[@PreptoFinish]

Thanks

[@edsom4245]

Great information If you are painting cabinets at which number settings should machine be?

[@nicksancho5708]

Good presentation. @GRACCO pay this man! I was reading in the comments and some old lady commented she "had never heard of spray painting like this before" and "Im going to look for one now!" 😂😂😂😂😂😂 sell them machines boys and GRACCO, pay these guys!

[@Oobanrun2024]

I’m a professional painter for over 30 years. I have that sprayer. I find it to be finicky. And I really find the plastic container very clumsy. I’ve oiled the cup threads , but darn, still becomes tight. I have the older one, It seemed easier. I have the ultra quick shot also, I really like that one. All three have made me money.

[@pf5658]

Pretty awesome video guys. Very well detailed. May I make on suggestion. Please hold camera horizontally next time when filming. It’ll give your viewers a better field of view.😊👍🏾

[@brianbingham5152]

Can you spray vehicle paint through it?

[@SoniaBDorsey]

Where do you purchase the extra cup attachments?

[@offcuts4146]

Really good video just got one last week really suprised me how much more paint you use compared to brush/roller. I thought it was me using it wrong but your video confirms it. Wouldnt 2 litres for two coats on a roller sonyou save time but spend more money on paint

[@gidaltisanchez3350]

Just bought one. Don't you think it gulps paint? You went through a quart on one thick coat, where as a quart should get you through a few doors by brush...?

[@okafka5446]

"Eventually it will wear out, it won't last forever." - On average how many quarts/litres will these handhelds spray, before wearing out? - appreciating that different viscocity paints and using the sprayers at different settings, will affect this figure - hence asking for an average. At that point it's straight forward to replace the pump? How much does the pump cost? For painting doors with something like Benjamin Moore Advance satin, what sort of tip would you recommend? Do you think with the right tip and practise, it's possible to attain the sort of finish on trim, you'd get with a slower speed HVLP?

[@COLORBLASTER]

Thanks for posting the video. Just picked up a corded Ultimate myself. Can you please tell me where you were able to buy the extra cup kits at? Thanks

[@PreptoFinish]

Check with your local Graco dealer, they should be able to order them for you

[@robalan57]

R. Jake Chavez I found them here. They have 32 oz and 42 oz systems. www.jnequipment.com/shop/brands/graco/17p553-graco-ultra-handheld-flexliner-42-oz-cup-system-solvent-based/

[@noesalgado5038]

They have them at Home Depot or Lowe’s .

[@michaelmcmike8726]

nice vid. so honest question- talking reliability for the cordless one _ if you had to guess, do you think this would/could last years if used 2hrs everyday with only thinned out emulsion to improve its life span. (no oil/latex etc) ? thanks

[@ramoncampos6998]

Can you record a video in cleaning preparing for storing the handheld spray unit?

[@brainmosmith1]

I notice that after you’re done spraying your tip and protector is fairly clean. I just tried mine and the tip was quite wet as well as the protector, dripping even. Any thought on what I’m doing wrong?

[@IMP3TIGO]

Great video! I mean, the quality is pretty low and vertical is never good, but the content is otherwise very useful. Thanks man!

[@corneliusmartinez5782]

Can u do primer or conversion varnish too

[@vinhle3272]

Does it give profesional smooth paint finish if used to refinish kitchen cabinet and furniture? Thanks.

[@concerned_2023]

Looking to purchase one here in Canada $999.99, so I was wondering how long they last. I want to use it for painting over ongoing graffiti problems around our commercial buildings. Thanks for the information on the cups. I was wondering about that.

[@AlexKunstar]

Don't even think about buying it for any sort of serious work. I own two of them, corded and cordless one and have killed 3pumps. Complete waste of money, doesn't like any slightly thicker paints, have to strain everything, struggles after 20or so gallons, guaranteed to die by 50gallons. Replacement pumps cost 200bucks, save your money.

[@dragonfishing]

Ohh shit, really.

[@Julianme-pm7vb]

What is the diferencie between the ultramas cordless a the ultimate cordless

[@PedroHernandez-ou5wy]

I have the TC PRO what sprayer I should have for paint walls and what speed?

[@psyzmech9044]

Very good concise overview.

[@kirkwd8829]

In comparison with use, how did you like the battery vs. chorded units. Which would you buy? Also, the battery ultra max unit is the only one that can be used for hot purposes, laqueer/etc. Did you guys try shooting any laquer? Appreciate your time and patience.

[@PreptoFinish]

Hi Christopher, we prefer battery handhelds, for full mobility. A lot of people like the corded in small workshops though, where being on an extension cord isn't an inconvenience. The "hot" version you referred to is called the Max or MX. We did not test that version. We did not put lacquer through the corded and cordless that we are testing.

[@teambennett3060]

What's the difference between the ultra cordless and the ultimate cordless?

[@alexxxg310]

I know you made this video a while ago, but hopefully you are still checking your comments. I have a question: I see that you have both the corded and cordless versions of this sprayer, if you could own ONLY ONE type, would it be the corded or the cordless type?? I own the Fuji Q5 HVLP and I'm looking to buy a Graco for spraying latex (in my shop only).

[@nicksancho5708]

Cordless. No tripping and less strain on wrists. In addition, Dewalt batteries are easy to come by so its not hard to have 4 on deck already, cords need to be wound up which takes time and again wrists.

[@themadscientist6554]

Do you know the difference between the pro and the ultra cordless models?

[@robalan57]

The Mad Scientist I am thinking the tips may be the only difference. The Ultra uses the new fflp tips. The Ultra uses the DeWalt battery. I think the new pro uses it too. I am following this to see if they come up with more information.

[@Johnconno]

'The Pro' is for Professionals...

[@themadscientist6554]

DIdn't see this, thanks... About to use it to stain a fence.. didn't know if I should switch it out.. I think the bucket size might be bigger if I remember correctly..

[@jamespotter4878]

The pro will spray solvent based material

[@MenKnowHowToLove]

the pro can spray poly

[@zakhutsul8227]

You said the cup hold about a quart and that was used on pretty much one door. Do you find that using this machine uses more paint vs conventional airless or brush & roll?

[@PreptoFinish]

Not more than conventional airless, but certainly more than brush and roll because it is capable of applying the equivalent of multiple manual coats in one session. The Flex Liner was not entirely full at the beginning of this clip, and we had done some patterning prior to spraying the door.

I can get mine to spray paint straight through it no issues, but when I go to clean it, it will not spray water through the system. Any suggestions?

Hi can i use it to paint interior walls and what tip i use for thin enamel Egg shell paint 🙏🏽 2 : how long the battary work full charge continues work thanx for advice

[@luiscampos7952]

Saud H *BATTERY,

[@Mowers11]

Yes, I have the cordless Ultra and love it. Have done 15-20 projects with it in 2 months. Trim, doors, window casing, bedroom walls, ceilings in bedrooms and dining rooms, outdoor shutters , front entry doors etc. I have painted an entire house external cedar trim 2000 sq ft. and its garage door (3 car). (4 houses). To answer your question Tips I use: FFLP 208 (with 100 mesh filter) on 2-4" trim,310 FFLP on all doors and Facia and also for cutting in ceilings and walls (corners, doors/windows). 314 FFLP on all walls and ceilings. Paint I have used on walls,ceilings is SuperPaint LL,Behr Marquis Matt,Behr Ultra eggshell,Behr 558 ceiling (love it!),SWPromar200 LLeggshell,SW Resilance flat, SW emerald satin on many,many outdoor whole house cedar trim projects. Prolly made 10K in 2 months with this unit. I also have two of the 42oz cup systems and two of the 32oz cup systems.I get 5-8 projects per cup liner before I throw it out. Battery will last 3 32oz cups or 325 sq ft of wall before charge spent. Spray finish is as good as my Graco 495 Ultra Max.

[@kylecherry3156]

I have a small used appliance store in Alabama and I am searching for faster and more convenient ways to paint as we paint every washer, dryer, refrigerator and stove that we sell. Currently we are using rattle cans as we use rustoleum appliance epoxy and go thru a ton of them, would this be appliacable for my situation? If not what would you recommend

[@kylecherry3156]

Declan Moir the paint we use is rustoleum appliance epoxy. Is that the same consistency as car paint?

[@PreptoFinish]

The Ultra Max version of this handheld line might be worth checking out.

[@patrickniedermeyer2112]

This gun would not work for solvent based material. You would need the more expensive (~$700) UltraMax version. But I have shot lacquer with my UltraMax with great results.

[@clarz007xxxx4]

How much is this unit? How long is battery wil last interm of volume of paint?

[@bikimbrown1545]

what about straining the paint?

[@davesmith7328]

How is the over spray since your using that real fine tip?

It's very reasonable for the power plant in hand.

Thanks for replying to my question!!

[@PreptoFinish]

You're welcome

[@PreptoFinish]

No problem, thanks for asking

[@pdobin]

I have the UltraMax, I would never buy this unit again, cover leaks from the cup liner, call graco about the leak trouble, after using the unit, after about 20gals of paint. starting having pump trouble and now the pump unit failed. had to send the unit in for repairs after spraying. the cost of about $650.00 not worth the money. sorry about this.

I have a new Graco Ultra 2021 about a month old. I have noticed mainly during cleaning that it sputters occasionally like it is getting air in the line or something. I had a Graco 360 VSP before the pump failed and it never did that. I have noticed that my new Ultra cordless is much more powerful and I have been spraying a bunch of 1x6 and 1x4 as well as some soffit with the 10inch extension off of my LTS17 with a 314 tip. Just wondering if any one else has experienced this. I normally just flush it 5 times with water to clean it immediately after using latex paint. However, I used the Graco throat seal the second time I cleaned it and this last time Graco pump armor. Not sure why it does that it just has me worried about the pump being it is brand new. I have sprayed unthinned Kilz 2 for my primer and Benjamin Moore Crylocoat for the paint. I have 3 42oz cups and the 32oz that came with it and the sealing caps for the cups are super handy for sealing it for short term storage as well as having cups for primer and paint and cleaning ready to go. I Love this gun just wondering why it is stuttering or sputtering when brand new. I will by a back up pump and register it for warranty on the Graco website. I got 137 off at Zoro using Capitol One shopping via Amazon. Zoro.com is owned by Grainger and has poor customer service ratings. However, I had no problem with my order from them. I will go register it to make sure it is legit which I'm sure it is.

[@nicksancho5708]

That was a nice read. Had me interested until the bs about the bs.

[@stephaniestewart2695]

I have been here for hours trying to get it to spray. I have done everything too make it work. Hate i wasted my time.

[@josher1984]

why are some models the ultimate and some the ultra? difference?

[@PreptoFinish]

Ultimate models will be sold through Sherwin Williams. Ultra models everywhere else. No difference between the Ultimate and Ultra lines.

[@firesurfer]

The purpose of this is to prevent price matching and warranty claims by purchases from other vendors.

[@peternelson9865]

PreptoFinish how well will it work with lacquer?

[@ekoulak]

peter nelson you need the ultra max to use with flammable finishes

[@wahapete]

How about spraying stain?

[@PreptoFinish]

At lower pressure, with a smaller tip for interior stains, for exterior solid acrylic stains just treat as latex paint.

[@wahapete]

Thanks!

[@SwapnilBhartiya]

Manual says you should alwasy start with lower and then go up.

[@donjuanob]

That sprayer is straight up junk the difference in models is a cord so it doesn’t shock the shit out 700 for the cordless model that still needs a ground wire so is it really cordless?

[@bigboper111]

[@coloradocaretaker]

I love mine

[@kberg7003]

just bought one cordless myself. One question I have is, can the sprayer sit for next day usage. Turn the tip and resume the next day?

[@seanmcaleavy2369]

I just ordered one and although I am sure many would say don't do that, I would say this is possible if you were to keep the tip submerged in water somehow. I haven't received mine yet, but I would imagine it to be airtight so if you kept the tip from drying out, I don't see why it wouldn't be fine. Having said that, the thing doesn't hold a whole lot of paint, so why would you want to do that? Is it a bitch to clean? I would suggest just getting into the habit of cleaning it. This thing isn't cheap and sometimes one day can turn into one week or one month even. And you know that you would just feel like a total dipshit if it got ruined because you don't like cleaning it. So spare yourself from that feeling.

[@mm-xk7pg]

You can leave a regular airless in the paint overnight. I dont see why this wouldnt be the same. You can leave tip in housing and just turn it sideways to keep out air

[@mohmaedeshkearo5754]

it takes a big quantity of paint for one door !!!? dosent it ?

[@mm-xk7pg]

[@braddbartlett1000]

why not both cord and battery and a solar pannel for when your on lunch it could be bakein in the sun for thoes no power at all situations sun been running longer than any battery or aep has ever thought of great product im buying 6 of them! 1 for each employee for christmas !

[@marcushennings9513]

There's no doubt that cordless tooltechnology is unlimited but I notice the tool makers hold customers hostage to pay a heavy ransom to get the batteries. In most cases it's more economically sensible just to buy the entire tool once the batteries die and no longer hold a charge. The tool makers also change battery styles to continue digging in the consumers wallet. Ryobi mat not be professional grade but they don't play the battery shell game. Even if I eventually pay more due to buying the tool twice at least they are above board and have good intentions with their battery products.

[@nicksancho5708]

Dewalt batteries are inter-chageable. Batteries are easy to come by. Pay for a pro product and get pro results. Pay for crap, produce crap. Get the GRACCO
