Graco 26D281 TrueCoat 360 Dual Speed Paint Sprayer, Blue/White

I really like how well this sprayer works, great spraying pattern, easy to load and prime and easy to clean.Also love to two speed setting, definitely a bonus

Got tired of used brushes and rollers, so gave this a try for touch up painting and all that good stuff. And I love this thing. So much faster and such a better finish then brush or roller gives. And clear up honestly feels about as fast. And this thing is super easy to clean, just hose off in sink. Then once all excess paint is washed off, you just blast water into port and switch being priming and spraying, well switch unclog mode and spray mode. Well the paint bucket thing you just use what is left with a brush to get those spots you can spray, then dump back into the can and just wash clean. This thing isn't a clean sprayer, since overspray you can't really control. And the high and low set don't do much to help, but less over spray on low. As for the settings you get a change in pump speed, so on high is easy to just mist an area since pumps fast enough. Well on low it's more stuttering on and off, the none constant spray is very noticeable.If you need a paint sprayer for small stuff and not doing full rooms, this is a great choice as your entry level item. Because say you a handyman or maintenance work. But if you need to do full rooms, just a none handheld since this thing this isn't meant for large volume painting. But it's super quick and easy to set up and clean up, so if you just need in and out this works great

Started using the paint gun and the performance was great. Fill the paint cup for a third time and the motor started to make odd noises with no spray coming out. Tried everything without luck. Ran to the local Home Depot and purchase a different sprayer to finish my project. Highly disappointed that the paint gun broke in 30 mins of use. Ended up costing me money and time. Do not buy. Because I bought this ahead of time before starting my project I am outside of the return window with a broken machine.

Works great as long as you're careful to keep the paint reservoir sealed tightly. Any air in the system and paint won't flow. Use the included sealant stick and tighten everything up. The sprayer is noisy but effective.Cleaning after use is necessary to keep the pump from becoming clogged. I'd do it at the end of every painting session or day. I know, it's a pain. Paint to be used later can be stored in the reservoir (buy the optional plug) but the pump and nozzle must be kept clean.Some paint and stains are too thick and must be thinned to spray properly. The manual doesn't offer much info on doing this but Graco support will not warranty any clogs due to using a product requiring over a 0.015 nozzle or 2,000 psi. If the paint manufacturer recommends nozzles of 0.015-0.019 Graco call is a 0.019 paint, so be aware. This is a consumer/DIY sprayer not designed for heavy paints or usage.

...If you do a thorough cleaning after each use and use the storage fluid when you put it away. We have sprayed fence stain and non-oil based paints multiple times with no clogging, sputtering, or other issues described by other buyers. We have stained fences, painted patio furniture, and restored indoor furniture with this sprayer with zero issues. The clean up is not difficult if you follow the simple instructions included with the sprayer. We are not frequent painters so we store it away months at a time. The next time we bring it out it works as good as day one. I don't understand why others have such a hard time with it.

The good: It will spray paint no matter what position it's in, upside down, sideways, doesn't matter. When you get it figured out, it does spray a nice even coat.The bad: even on the low setting the thing oversprays like crazy. Luckily for me I was painting things that it didn't matter too much. The paint hangs in the air and gets all over everything. You will have to fill the paint cup up really often, so often it is aggravating to stop and refill it because it's a process. So I really hated the screen method of loading more paint, it made such a mess and didn't look like it did anything so I stopped using it. No difference. When it was loaded up it stopped lots of times because the seal wasn't great between the plastic sleeve in the cup and the body of the sprayer so I would have to stop and get the air out. After 2 hours of using this, it does get heavy too, much heavier than you think it will. Overall, I'll still use it but it's not something I would enjoy using. Cleanup is a bit of a chore too, all the paint doesn't come off and you have to spray the gun clean.

Wow wow a definite game changer once setup does exactly what it says it can, I got this for almost $50 cheaper on amazon then the big box stores ! I restore old furniture and build cabinets hand rolling and brushing was getting old so I bought this item and once I got it setup and learned how to use it , man did it not only improve my finishing but sped up my projects !

Only 1 job in but performed super well. I bought this as a cheaper alternative to a traditional airless sprayer but was totally surprised by how well this thing performed. Sprayer had no trouble with Kilz 2 and ultra premium paint. I thought for sure I would have to thin it but it handled it just fine. At one point i had the trigger pulled for a minute straight and no issues. The gun did get hot at one point after extended use, so I let it cool off for a couple minutes and went back to work with no issues.
