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

[@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.

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

[@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.

[@YurellDavis]

I got a quick question I don’t do much painting but as a new painter which is the best spray gun to go for I’m doin this little job right now but someone ask me to do a 4 bed room house which spray gun is convenient

[@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 .

[@versus023]

IS there a reason why you watered down the paint @6:00 ?

[@BryanBuilt]

Just being cautious and not wanting the paint to be too thick

[@pheelingoode1646]

You mentioned you cut the primer; was that necessary for proper atomization?

[@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

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.

[@miguels6947]

[@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.

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

[@BryanBuilt]

[@mojosdad68]

8 months later would you still recommend this sprayer? I have a Titan 440 Impact but I get tired of dealing with the hose in confined areas and small jobs. And, would this be suitable for ceiling spraying say, a 10x10 room?

[@davidvalerio7341]

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. Regardless this thing is a cool gadget to have on the side. More convenient for smaller jobs.

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

[@mattsgarage6670]

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 !

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.

Also, what does a replacement pump cost and is it as easy as the cordless handheld to change.

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.

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.

@@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.
