Nice (as always)! I'm deciding between the QuickShot and an XT490 and I see you use both in your videos... The convenience of the QuickShot is awesome for sure, but my question is: If you had to judge the two sprayers solely based on the finished product they produce, how would you describe their differences? Thanks, keep up the awesome videos (would love to see a longer vid on stairways, especially open stairways). 👍
Hi Eric, my apologies for the delayed response my friend.. it’s tricky to make a direct comparison, whilst both professional / contractor units, they’re on opposite ends of small and large projects.. the distinct advantage of the UQS, is electronic fast responsive trigger, you’re virtually eliminating spits.. I use this on most room decoration jobs where I’m first spraying a small run of skirting, door frame, door, sill etc.. walls and ceilings I’ll use a bigger pump, such as the Ultra 495 XT.. now the XT motor technology is able to maintain such a steady running pressure, you’re delivering the most perfect paint atomisation 👌 to give my advise on choosing one over the other.. I basically wouldn’t recommend an UQS as a first sprayer or a sole unit (unless for small projects), these small cordless units compliment their bigger counterpart pumps 💙💯 hope this helps a little.. regards Pete
My fear of buying this electric gun from Graco is that I will get it too dirty as I won't be able to just drop it into bucket full of water between sprays. Thoughts, Pete?
You raise a good point my friend.. Electronic guns such as the QuickShot or PowerShot, you most definitely shouldn’t be submerging in water - although I’m hearing good reports on how robust the new PowerShot is 👌 That said, my personal recommendation is not to submerge any gun, incl mechanical airless guns.. whilst many do without problem, it’s possible water could interfere with needle packings.. to clean, I simply use a household degreaser that lifts the waterborne materiel very easily. Prettyboy also makes a brush cleaner / conditioner that works very well - then wipe with a wet cloth, drying with a microfibre. It’s worth noting, these guns are also smooth plastic with less indents and crevices Vs mechanical guns 👍 Hope this helps my friend and you’re keeping well 🙏 .. regards Pete 💙💯
Drop a large piece of cardboard on the opposite sideside of to where you’re spraying those upper banisters.. saves so much overspray going all over the place 😃
@Jeren_S thank you my friend 🙏 rest assured there was no drips 😄 often it’s the camera angle that makes it look like the gun is closer than it is.. plus it’s an .006 tip, the fluid flow is very much reduced Vs a.008” and .010” 👍 regards Pete 💙💯

Spraying to close. Going to leave drips
