Repainting Doors with the GRACO ULTRA | Does it Suck?

[@evidentpainters7848]

You just shattered my heart when you said it’s a small project sprayer. I hoped it would work for big projects.

[@jakefreeman6024]

I’ve had my ultra handheld corded now for about a year, I use it for strictly crown mouldings , Covings and woodwork, one year one it’s still on the same pump, I must have put over 250 Litres of paint through with no problems , I dilute my paints by 5-10% then run at a fairly low pressure , what’s vital is and where a lot of people go wrong is cleaning, I think the main reason these don’t last for people is because they simply don’t do the required maintenance, once I clean it out I put about 50ml of pump armour through then once a week I get it back out and reapply pump armour, this isn’t an everyday sprayer but used under the correct conditions it can last you a while and it’s payed for itself now around 10 times

[@szaw4452]

I completely agree with you. I have the corded version and I've used it for small projects like doors and chairs all the way to large projects like painting garages (doors and siding). It's been a great gun and worth its money. Just clean it right and armour it for storage.

[@coreygear6133]

The trick is to use warm to hot water with a palm full of cheap laundry powder, this helps remove waterbase paint removing filter is a must do each time used ,then flush with water and finish with pump Saver, don't wear it out spraying ltrs of water to clean use the soapy warm water . I've painted whole internals of houses when there's no power,I just hit out 12 doors and 6 rooms just the cornice, yes not for use everyday but they can save so much time/ money when used correctly .spray wd40 on tip and gaurd prior , makes paint removal easy.

[@MMD-z6z]

A lot of people buy it and do walls with it too, until the pump (£$180) burns out... Ouch Every time the system overheats and cuts out you are cutting the pumps life short. I learned that the hard way too - now I have a wagner 250m, and I use the Graco Ultra for woodwork jobs (doors, windows & small jobs)

[@fieldtechsolutionsllc1443]

own two, love the sprayer. Zero issues! we run the hell out of these. I see all the problem people are having in the comments, all I can say is: keep it clean and strain your paint.

[@yasirabbas8431]

We do the same thing but the pump is too sensitive mate

[@joshmoore4498]

If you are using a water based product you can simply take the cup off and turn it upside down under a faucet (preferably a shop sink) leave the water running and prime for a second then continue to spray until it comes out clear. Cleanse in half the time. Also when you prime just know water will come out of the little hole that recirculates so be sure and cup your hand over so you dont shoot water up in the air.

[@Idahopainter]

[@alwaysrockn2009]

Hey Chris! I picked up the Ultra from SW last year to paint some doors and trim. It worked great. I squeezed out 12 doors and some trim with little effort. First time spraying and they came out great! It was about $350 so I couldn’t pass it up. If it breaks now no biggy- cheaper than hiring someone.

Hi Chris, I have the older corded version and have used it for many projects. I find that the excessive overspray is too much of a hassle. I see in part of your video that overspray was engulfing the space. It seems doing the job with regular 395 will perform much better. Your small job comments are right on. Thanks for doing these great videos.

[@marcinorlewski3253]

I use it for small job as bathroom ceiling etc, have also 395 for painting and Mark 7 for gypsum. All the stuff has their place. I think my UltraMax is a great machine for the work I expect from it. Never had any problem with it.

[@isidrosalazar2568]

i replaced the seal still do the same and by the fifth time of usage start to leak on the knob i leave it at the store and the representative of Graco said unable to check it cos i dint leave the battery so you need to find a repair shop to fixed. the question is why you expend over 600 .00 to go thorough the problem i fill like put my money on the trash.

[@xbrizzcakez]

You sprayed a door closed? How do you handle the painting of the missed areas?

[@xbrizzcakez]

@Mike Oxmall I guess its done but not finished?

[@davidu8688]

Yeah I never thought about the flammable issue but also I don't use too many of those kinds of paint nor sprayers like this. Had one for a little bit but took it back because of priming and cleaning issues. A lot of parts to keep up with and a little more than I like to clean...bigger rigs are easier. I would definitely go with his advice and not use it much.

[@handytbutler7380]

as a previous painter it looks like it could be handy at times but must say flat doors like those are much easier to roll out than masking off everything or having to cover up the over spray with a few coats of paint. i believe this would work great for panel doors or crown molding.. good review though, appreciate it..

[@shootsandscoots]

I had the battery version that didn’t shoot hot solvents (TrueCoat VS) These guns are ok for smallish jobs - maintenance guy wanting to paint a few doors, cover up graffiti, etc. I used the sprayer to paint WRC picket fence boards. It took two coats using Cabot solid stain and I back brushed the product. I went through 5 gallons and the unit held up well. It does have a narrow use application. You must have diluted the product. Graco support will tell you to strain the product to avoid clogs, which makes the spray sputter. The cups come in larger sizes, but you have to buy them. I purchased a second cup to rinse the system out adding a few drops of dawn liquid soap. Warm water helps clean out the unit quicker, but to get the unit spotless clean takes time 15-25 minutes. The Graco hand held unit should be able to paint a bedroom out, but not on ha frequent basis. I would say no more than a few times a year. It’s not the right gun to shoot an interior of a 3 bedroom house. Did you get your bible verses mixed up with tip sizes?

[@chrisman3673]

I saw that

[@mohammedjibril9496]

I love following you. Anyone can understand and follow your instructions. I have practically learned everything I need to know about the graco jand held spray gun that I just got delivered two days ago without reading the manual. I bought exactly the same gun you demoed only corded.

I already have larger Graco sprayers, and was hopeful that this would give me the reason not to pull those out. I don't do any small projects so this would not be the best thing for me right now. Thanks again, you've saved me about $600.

[@Idahopainter]

[@scotthancock7599]

Another great video but, why do painters not remove door handles and in most cases plates around outlets/switches? It is so quick and easy to do. Probably quicker than taping that handle up. If I hire a painter, they better take everything off like its brand new construction and nothing is in the way.

[@williamfreeman3331]

I've painted for thirty years now and you are correct.

[@ahphiell]

I'm not a heavy painter. Usually I do as little paint as a small piece of furniture. Originally using Wagner spray, I recently bought a Graco Ultra. But the default tip was 514, I didn't know how to working in detail. It was embarrassing to see the paint splashed over too large an area. Watching these videos, I knew what to do. I need to buy a tip. Anyway, it was helpful. Thank.

The Ultra max is the one for flammable materials not the Ultra as you mention in the video. There is also a pretty big price difference between the two.

I’ve literally repaired hundreds of these.. They’re an expensive touch up tool. Good for up to around 200 litres then you’re going to want to replace the pump if lucky enough it lasts that long. Trouble is people tend to buy these thinking it can do it all... It simply can’t.

[@strongholds12]

Shaun Johnson So I have owned this graco ultramax cordless sprayer since May 18 of 2019. I have maybe put three to four gallons of paint thru this device.. Now I have bought the solvent type model to spray oil based and varnishes. I have not, repeat have not ran oil based paint thru the device . The sprayer now will not spray anywhere near what it used to. I called tech support on the box (they have number on boxwhen you buy the unit new) I called the number and told them what was happening. So it turns out the seal between lid and flex liner cup ( 32oz. ) Is not making a tight seal enough to create a vacuum . So the person on the phone says your pump is fine your unit works. Yes, but its not spraying properly. However they said the lid on the cup is a wear part and can be bought at home depot or lowes. I said so I have to replace lid everytime I run 2 to 4 gallons ? He didn't state , but continued to say that's a wear part. You can buy it at hardware store or where ya bought it. I told him I bought it on amazon. He didnt care but.. my issue is, This unit is the solvent model. Oil based paint is much more harsh , on products and equipment. How can this seal hold up ? Its not holding up to water based paint how will it last.? Its not going to. I have been to evey home depot or lowes in my area. (Seattle) no lid no flex liner cage replacement anywhere. The liners I can find but the lid that screws over the flex liner to keep air out is no longer effective, making the cordless sprayer useless. These units run around $750.00 its exspensive !.. The unit does not last. Its not reliable, no replacment parts and the tech service was useless. By the way I replaced the black air valve for bleeding air out. This part is given with the unit as an extra, actually they give you two in the kit w the sprayer. But they do not give a new gasket or lid with the flex liner cup system, which is vital to using the sprayer. I cannot find a replacment part for the lid anywhere. graco support says you can buy the part cause its a "wear part " . Basically saying we dont cover or replace vital parts that make the unit work properly, "wear part" I had high expectations for this ultramax cordless sprayer, given the price and brand graco. I no longer have faith in this sprayer anymore. I dont do painting for a living but bought this spayer to do small jobs around my home and cabin. I cant Imagine having this tool to depend on for a professional painter. 10/14/19. Update I have replaced flex liner system, cup and lid. The sparyer is not working properly. After 5 months.. Maybe 3 or 4 gallons of latex paint. This sparyer does not hold up well. I called customer service again. They want a receipt copy and they will send out a new pump. So to sum it all up.. pump failure with very little use. I keep it clean always after use. So I will get a new pump, install it and hope the cordless sprayer can put out 5 more gallons before another pump failure ?? .... Ok.

[@LostInDistance]

Miguel Moreno Sorry to hear this, you can replace the pump system easy enough yourself which I can almost guarantee you is the issue here. I work for a company called Spray Direct. You can google the company and find the replacement part needed. Once you’re on the website and on the search bar type, 17P187. That’s the main pump needed for the handheld Ultramax. “Solvent based” If its the Ultra pump replacement you require, then it’s 17P186. “Water based” Or you can send it in to us and I can sort it for you with a quick turnaround for you Miguel.

[@bespokedfurniture]

My ultra is off for replacement pump number 3, fourth pump all in all. one pump failed after 5 litres. They're great when they work put they are so temperamental. Great for touch up work. For me, the biggest problem with these when they landed in the UK is that they were miss sold by the reps and retailers as being more capable than what they are actually are.

[@strongholds12]

Matt Irvine so you spend $200 eveytime you need one?

[@AlexSh154]

Work in property management and we have a couple of the corded ones we use for small touch ups and quick painting jobs. Beats a brush and roller any day and quicker to clean than a traditional pump.

[@affordablesolutions8516]

Easier..yes. but at a much higher rate cost in comparison to labor/equipment cost and repair.. as far as cleaning it..if that's your claim then I guarantee thay you are not cleaning it correctly. These are a pain to clean properly. Traditional pumps are alot faster and have ways to hook up to forced water to help out the process and these handhelds do not.

Just bought one, first pull of the trigger while priming it with water it drips from the tip. Took it apart to make sure it’s clean, no change. Replaced the tip and seal and no change. I ignored a ton of bad reviews and bought it anyway, but I can tell you that if you buy this you should think of it like a new mitre saw, where no matter what, if you want it to work well, you’re going to have to tune the thing, right out of the box. Oddly enough Grace has a lot of really well made KZbin tutorials, but nothing covering a leaky tip, and it happened to me in the first 5 seconds with 2 different tips.

[@ThisTall]

As a cabinet installer I’m always watching painters at the mouldings stage and I always ask them why they do t use one of these guns instead of rolling and brushing but without exception they always say the masking is far more work then doing it by hand.

[@Jamie-Russell-CME]

makes no sense. I can mask faster than they paint by hand. once its masked its done.

[@ThisTall]

jamie Russell ya I’m really not sure why. I’m not a painter but there must be some kind of rationale. At least in the environment or timing when I happen to be around. Maybe it can’t be done after finish flooring is in? Something to do with the phase the job is at when base & case goes in?

[@fkkmag8692]

The win is in speed of painting, the masking is a not slowing down the proces

[@muller469]

Depends on the situation, i can cut and roll before some mask it up 🤷‍♂️ Then other times it's worth the masking time

It's the type of finish you want to achieve, and in circumstances when you have let's say dentil crown mouldings or floral designs , just brushing dentil crown will kill your day vs spray in seconds

I got an earlier corded model which had two tips that were not compatible with the other tips Graco makes. I wasn't impressed with it. I have used it twice in two years. I think I'll pass on this one.

[@citythink]

I have one and I’ve used it on everything and anything I want to spray but don’t need 5 gallons of paint for. The cup contains a whole quart. If you’re not spraying 5 gallons it’s quicker to roll; in my experience you need 5 gallons to run through a 395 or any sized sprayer that has 50ft of hose to fill. Unless you like storing or throwing away a lot of uniquely coloured paint, the handheld is perfect. Takes some work to get good at higher glosses though.

One other note: Mine became so undependable, it has set on a shelf ever sense it's like 7th use. I can't trust it to accomplish a task so it's benched from duty. In reality I'm hoping this is just a starting point for Graco. I pray they pursue improving upon its design. Personally I'd lose the idea it needs to spray upside down and go with a simple cup system like my homelite sprayer. It's extremely dependable and cleans quick and easily. Less moving parts so to speak. Currently my Graco is not the easiest thing to prepare for painting and it's a bit involved to get lock and loaded. Even worse is the clean up process is frustrating. With that said note though I "LOVE"my Graco products as I own every thing from most of their available attachments, guns, numerous sprayers, and even a Line Lazer. Great company, great products, this one's in need of a redesign in my opinion.

I was wondering. Had previous version lasted about three or four times and that was it.

[@Allegedly2right]

Complete waste of money worked twice and then Kaput no repair for under at least £60 Toy not even DIY

[@BaDaddyCool]

I think it blows under high pressure instead of sucking! although it it does suck in the paint then blows it out the other end under pressure! i have one and it works a treat, really efficient batteries which are easily replaceable. I like that its all compartmentalized inside which makes cleaning and loading very easy. Its a great bit of kit for small jobs like, cupboards, shelving, cornice work and small ceilings. I use mine mainly for cornice work. I'd highly recommend the cordless "Ultra".

[@markaraujo06]

there is no 30-31 in 4th chapter in looked in my kjv

[@firehahahahahahaha]

Yeah, I was a bit confused by that aswell

[@hernandezh7217]

I notice that too.

[@The_editor28]

I looked too, now I’m curious to know which verse he meant

[@nahumromero7826]

His own verse. Lol. Made up

[@VideoCoach28]

I have one of these what tip size were you using and where was your pressure set too

[@wherezdabooty957]

Great video as usual from you guys! Do you turn off the a/c system when using this sprayer or the other airless sprayers? Thank you in advance!

[@AmaliaS]

Hi, My graco UM fan is not uniform and sometimes spits even after I clean it thoroughly. I need to spray doors but the spray patern is not uniform, some patches have more paint than other. I used a 108 tip and is making 2 lines paralel with the fan no matter of the pressure. I don't know what to do anymore, is not a wining either way.

[@mcboomsauce7922]

I love these till the pump burns out, they’re great but after about 30 gallons of paint they burn up and replacement parts are almost the cost of a new gun

[@miguelsalgado9940]

After 30 gallons you better had made your money for a new sprayer 10 times

[@311mdub]

Do you have to pre strain the paint like you would say an hvlp gun? I’m assuming that’s what the little filter is for

[@Idahopainter]

You do

[@jasonbartha8262]

I wonder how much over spray just landed on that light cover

[@sblack48]

[@kandifpv9266]

None

[@Detroitblue]

I always have to ask myself which will be easier: Masking off everything so I can use the sprayer or just go ahead and roll the job out and be done with it? When I am indoors I most likely will choose brushes and rollers. Spraying indoors just seems to have too much collateral damage. For example the overhead light fixture he was standing under with all that over-spray mist in the air.

[@WowRixter]

Can you get a smooth result on something like a shaker door with a roller?

[@Detroitblue]

@@WowRixter ​ @Ric Liang Spraying has its applications and its advantages. If using a sprayer will give the desired results then so be it. The idea is to always look for what method will cost least amount of time and effort. All I am saying is that I find that spraying indoors not the best option in most cases.

[@WowRixter]

@@Detroitblue Thanks for the tip. I might stick to doing our exterior walls ;-)

[@mrtv777]

@@Detroitblue sprayed finish looks better than rolled.

[@Detroitblue]

@@mrtv777 Yes this is true provided your medum is a smooth and finished surface. Which is the basis of my whole argument . Which is basically how much work will you have to do. When spraying you have a hell of a lot of over spray prep or you will incur and big cleanup afterwards but once you finished the prep the spray part is cake. On the flip side if you roll it you can just lay down a tarp and maybe some masking of close edges and you then take your time painting.

[@bklbaron]

Great video. By the way, there is no Isaiah 4:30-31.

[@markaraujo06]

i agreed

[@DoomBunnyJr12341]

He probable meant Isaiah 40:30-31 30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall: 31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

I have the Ultra and the 360° VSP. Indispensable tools for small projects and the ultra smooth finish for metals and good trim.

I've burnt 4 of these up over the years (corded versions). Guess I used them too much at once. I personally wouldn't waste my money on another one

[@petelife497]

They spit constantly after the first couple gallons through it. I’ve replaced the pumps numerous times and still spit. Cost WAY too much for what you get

[@wahidbahram6346]

Exactly, you right the pump cost too much . It’s $700 here in Australia 🇦🇺 the pump cost $400 I wanted buy as it’s handy but it’s worthless what we pay for !

[@accordv6er]

Triaxial pump no? I see them for $180 but still a ton considering what a normal airless pump is

[@aurawindsurfing]

It it spits - lower the pressure. Its counter intuitive but this is what worked for me

Nice work, very professional Thanks

If anyone is confused about Isaiah 4 only have 6 verses, I’m pretty sure he meant Isaiah 40 👍

Graco the best but in that small machines bad investment a lot of money very expensive parts and only for doors, the cost of a graco 390 is better cheaper and more use

I love your show brother, I’ve been painting since 1979 and my shoulders are about to fail so we put this one in gods hands, anyway you know you could cut and roll those three doors faster than you could the time you masking tape everything out. Were you just using these doors as an example to show the sprayer, dumb question I know you are ,all right brother be blessed

[@tjclay1]

Start drinking a few 8oz glasses of beer juice everyday you would be amazed with how much better your shoulders feel it takes a couple of weeks of daily drinking to get the inflamation to go away but in genuinely works.

You use that paint sprayer in another video back in July 2017 with the 514 tip

[@jmschwab184]

How much masking is required for interior use? For example in this video using the sprayer for the doors only and not wanting to get any paint on walls or ceiling or floor rug. I’m thinking of using this sprayer to paint my brick fireplace in my living room/kitchen area.

[@Idahopainter]

How much depends on many factors
