![Top 5 Best Airless Paint Sprayer You Can Buy Right Now [2024]](/img/1.gif)
When choosing an electric Graco Airless Paint Sprayer,
consider..
What materials and size projects are you looking to spray? Occasional projects or all day, every day?
- Fine Finishes.. Woodwork
- Emulsions.. Interior walls and ceilings
- Exteriors, such as thicker masonry paints
- Even spraying plaster is possible with the right size, much bigger pump
Alongside all that is the important consideration of what power sources are available, to power your Graco airless paint sprayer ⚡️
Feel free to comment any questions and I’ll do my very best to advise.. Thanks for the support 🙏
Regards Pete 💙
I was thinking of woodwork because the hose holds quite a bit of paint and sometimes you have to get more to accommodate for that where as you don’t really need that much in the first place. The handheld one you use what you need so less paint left over. 👍🏻
Yeah that’s very true.. to give you some figures, the 7.5m 3/16” hose holds 134ml.. one option you could do is get a 4.5m 3/16” line, that solution would work very well with a cordless GXFF unit that you could move around spraying woodwork.. that would hold just 81ml 😆 ..another thing you could consider.. if running out of material, you’re nearing completion and don’t want to buy more.. once the hopper is empty, you can add water to chase the last of the material through the line.. just watch out for the water / water contaminated paint right at the very end 👍😆
Now that’s something I’ve not thought about running water through for the last bit👌🏻
I will get the 4.5 m hose because that would work better save having a big long hose getting in the way👍🏻 cheers pete can’t fault you.
You’re very welcome my friend.. this is the hose.. unfortunately the 4.5m is more expensive Vs 7.5m, it’s because more 7.5m hoses are produced, going into the Fine Finish kits etc..

Graco got it all covered just like your good self bro. 💯👍🏻
Haha you’re so very kind brother 💙 ..Unlike our England penalty taker, whose World Cup penalty will be landing in Heathrow before the football team 🏴⚽️😂
Hi Pete, I’ve got a 390, FF and the handheld one, can’t fault any of them. You’ve helped so much with the video’s. Thank you.👍 Cheers Allan.
Hey Allan.. you’ve invested in some great kit 💙 ..I have to say, It’s been an absolute pleasure hearing about your spraying successes over the months, tackling some great projects.. very well done my friend, onwards and upwards 🙏 regards Pete
Hi Pete how's you? I'm still watching every single video you post. You the person who make me want to spray.... you also the person who help me all the and for that i thank you.
Hey Flavio, thank you so much.. I really appreciate your kind words of support 💯 ..I’m happy to help anytime if I can my friend 🙏 ..regards Pete
Great work there and a great tutorial 👍🏻
Thank you Damian, very much appreciate my friend 🙏
Hey pete cool video,that's a nice collection of sprayers you have there,after watching your previous video on the graco gxff cordless i bought one and its a great machine and fun to use because its so portable and convenient with the hopper,I have 2 kitchen spray jobs lined up for after xmas with it and will be using water based paint,would you use an industrial type paint for this or would a good brand like dulux be ok?I don't really want to use industrial if possible as its more hassle to use etc and has more fumes
Hey Eddie, I’m so pleased you’re enjoying your GXFF Cordless, you’re right, it’s quite a surreal experience, being able to move about and spray without a power cord.. it’s one of my favourite units 💙 ..Great news about the kitchen spray jobs, exciting times ahead.. it will be worth you looking at industrial waterborne materials, by that I mean ‘not off the shelf’. and is either spray only or certainly easily sprayed. I know what you mean about fumes etc, but the latest WB technology isn’t all that ‘nasty’.. Companies such as AkzoNobel, Renner, Sayerlack and Teknos have some high performing WB products.. for a long time I’ve been a fan of AkzoNobel (this video features the Aqualit topcoat) and I often include the link to the products in the video descriptions.. all from Holman Speciality Paints (link in description).. I’ve got some WB AkzoNobel products that I hope to showcase in the new year, some can be used single component and / or used 2K with additional hardener.. all waterborne.. adding the hardener will dramatically increase performance / water and chemical resistance 👍 ..Keep in touch my friend, happy to help and advise if I can.. regards Pete
Spotted the Graco watch 😄 👌🏻 didn’t know they did them
Haha well spotted my friend 👀💙
Hello) Nice video! Good luck to you! Greetings from Ukraine!
Thank you brother 🇺🇦❤️
Another great vid pete. I use the Gxff cordless for most of my work at the min. I’ve been thinking of getting the handheld one but hear so many bad things about them. What’s your opinion on them as I see you use it quite a lot? 👍🏻
Ah nice, it’s greet to hear your success with the GXFF Cordless 💙⚡️ ..Yeah I am a champion of the Handheld Cordless units, they certainly suit the low viscosity‘spray only’ products that I like to use.. naturally spraying low pressure with .008 tips.. it’s when the units get worked harder than what they’re designed for that failures can occur.. you see I often spray in feature walls too, but I know the emulsion can handle 10% thinning and I can keep the speed down.. I much prefer the quick clean up of a Handheld Vs cleaning up a brush / roller / tray 😆 ..always a pleasure to get your contribution on the channel Andrew, all the best.. regards Pete
Thanks as always for sharing your process and experiences.
I'm looking into the Ultra 395 PC for an all around sprayer. Do you recommend this as a main unit? Are you aware of any difference between Classic, Nova and Ultra labels?
Do you ever use the yellow "Low Pressure" tips for walls?
Do you ever cross-hatch?
I mentioned that I planned on incorporating an air scrubber or extraction fan on another video. I have just started doing this and what a world of difference it makes in the work area. Cleaner air, less odor and far less silica dust to clean up off of surfaces.
You’re very welcome, and always a pleasure to hear from you.. firstly, if you’re thinking of investing in a ‘395’, you won’t be disappointed.. if you’re going to be tackling a range of projects / contracts, especially on the slightly bigger scale, the 395 will work hard for you.. I chose a 395 because of the step up to a bigger pump.. .023 max tip, Vs a 390 and smaller still GX models that are max tip .021 (GXFF / GX19 being .019).. plus the 395 has the introduction of SmartControl 1.0 .. I think I’m right saying this, the Ultra 395 is superior to my Classic 395.. however the UK Ultra Max range starts at 495, with the 395 being ‘Classic’.. then the Nova 395 is North America (I believe).. so some model variations in the UK versus Europe and North America, partly due to UK 230v / 110v power availability.. don’t quote me, I will see if I can verify my answer 😀.. if funds / need for the bigger pump stretch to the 495, I know it’s a very well respected unit so worth a look.. otherwise if an Ultra 395 meets your all round requirements, you’ll absolutely love it 💙
The new Neon LP tips are the same as the green LP tips, it’s purely a colour change to make distinguishing easier the difference between FF LP (green tips).. there is new WR LP which are neon in colour and low pressure (WR being Wide RAC.. wide spray angle).. hope this helps 💙
Yes I often cross hatch a ceiling 👍 ..I take my time though, spray one way, letting it dry / flash off a bit (have a coffee 😄), then spray the other way to a finish.. similar process to using a roller on a ceiling, where you would look to finish across the light coming into a room.. much much quicker spraying ..it doesn’t need to be totally dry because no tool
Is touching the wet paint, and a flat flawless finish 👌
Thank you so much for the feedback on air scrubbers.. which make / model have you gone for ?.. certainly interests me 👍 ..I like the look of the ones that come in a Systainer box 👏👏👏
Hope this helps my friend, keep in touch ..regards Pete 💙
Hi Pete
I’ve got two t5s , great machines never have any problems with em also got a 495
Ball bearings are forever sticking and pump life is very short
The handheld ultra I had was simply not up to the job , was put on eBay after a short while
Just my opinion and experience with graco
Also had Wagner and titan machines which were better
Tritech for me
Hey David, as always I appreciate your input and sharing your experiences 🙏 hope you’re keeping well buddy.. regards Pete
Hi Pete, I'm planing to get into spraying. Was gonna go for 390 PC cordless, but money does play a part. So thinking of GxFF cordless for emulsioning and woodwork. Also thinking of either GENTLIN for woodwork and kitchen units or Graco HVLP ? do you think GXFF CORDLESS can cope with emulsioning plus obviously woodwork as well?
Apologies my friend, only just seen this question.. The GXFF Cordless will be a great investment, it's aimed at fine finish, spraying woodwork, trim.. but can most definitely handle spraying wall / ceilings with emulsion / latex materials.. It's a great cordless unit for the P&D market, up there with my favourite sprayers 💙
nice video Pete; can any of the battery ones spray Weathershield Exterior Matt? i'm torn between the GX series and the 390 Cordless. ( Tim @ Osullivan Decorating)
Hi Tim, really appreciate you watching the video.. technically with is ‘bigger pump’ the 390 would be better suited.. the 390 still has the same max tip size of .021 (the GXFF is 019, it is the same pump as the GX21, just geared different).. yet I can vouch for the GX build quality, being used for jobs such as exterior work that they’re not necessarily aimed at.. I know of excellent P&D’s using the GX21 and GXFF to spray the odd smooth masonry.. I can’t speak for Weatheshiekd, but I have sprayed Johnstones Stormshield, smooth masonry with an LP 515 (a drop of water to ease).. so yeah, technically speaking the 390, but a GX will handle the odd smooth masonry.. just not all day, every day 😆 ..the build quality and cordless technology of all 3 units is A+
..keep in touch, would love to hear what you decide.. regards Pete
Hey mate first off your videos are incredibly helpful so thank you. I’m using a Graco ultra with 210 tip, spraying Scuff X. Having an issue where I’m getting 1 or 2 fisheyes, but I’ve sanded and wiped down all surfaces prior to painting. I’m new to spraying so I’m obviously doing something wrong I’m just not sure what
Thank you so much for your kind words of support.. I know what you mean, they can be a pain.. I use a can of Zinnser BIN (s shellac primer) and I give problem areas such as that a quick spray over.. the rattle cans are very convenient and handy to have 👍 regards Pete
@@PaintHQ thank you mate I will give that a go!
what would you say the ideal sprayer would be if im only painting cabinets and im using water based paints like Renner, im not trying to break the bank on a triteck but i want something that wont give me troubles and get the job done.
That’s a very good question my friend.. I do like the smaller hose setups and working out of a hopper.. meaning the ability to spray fine finishes with potentially a smaller amount of material.. so I’d say a GXFF / GX19 💙 ..an excellent, highly regarded airless paint sprayer in the professional market.. I’ve heard nothing but good things about the Graco GX range.. if budget allows, I’d seriously consider the GXFF / GX19 Cordless 💙⚡️👏👏👏 ..great question, happy to help and advise anytime I can.. regards Pete
Pete, I'm not sure the subject of selection has been quote explained. I have a Graco Classic 390 PC (Dewalt powered) and I have Graco Ultra Max. Disregarding HVLPs at this stage. I'm not sure that if I had a GX21 or GXFF there would be any point in coming back to them over the Classic 390 PC. The Ultra Max is clearly in the league of its own, so no questions there.
Hey Dmitriy, it was purely a showcase of what I spray with and a few facts about each, rather than why I choose each one.. truth is I started with the 395 as my main sprayer.. for the bigger pump (.023 Vs .021), and the addition of SmartControl.. the Ultra HH was purchased to compliment the 395.. then later the GX21 for that bit more portability, 230v Vs 110v.. not needing to carry the transformer around with me.. All credit to the GX build quality that it can match bigger pumps in working hard for the painter.. you have great sprayers in going with the cordless units my friend 💙⚡️ ..regards Pete
That looked like a really windy day spraying the fence with GXFF cordless Pete! Did you get a lot of overspray? Can't imagine spraying in that weather!
Hey Kevin, I know why you mean my friend.. it looked worse when I watched the footage back than it was at the time. It was in a very open spot next to water.. very secluded, a perfect spot to showcase the GXFF Cordless technology.. I was quite a distance from the property, and power ⚡️
Hello Pete. Love your work, love your videos. You are doing great job mate 👍🏻
I wanted to ask you one thing. Somewhere in your videos you was mentioning hose capacities in ml. 3 1/16" 7.5m (GXFF) and ¼" 15m (GX21) to be exact. I was going and going over your videos and I can't trace it back. Any chance do you have this data on your hands? I'm trying to decide which sprayer to get GX21, GXFF or even the QuickShot.
Thanks in advance, mate.
Minda.
Hello my friend, apologies for the delay.. really appreciate your kind words.. here’s the figures for what each hose holds, I’ve also included the 4.5m BlueMax II hose that I’ve used myself..
15m 1/4" 0.476 litres in hose
7.5m 3/16" 0.134 litres in hose
4.5m 3/16" 0.081 litres in hose
Thanks, Pete. I actually managed to find hose capacities in your GX21 video. And calculated ml/m of 3 1/16" ¼" and ⅛".
⅛" 11.52ml/1m; 10.3ml/0.9m
3 1/16" 18ml/1m; 81ml/4.5m; 135ml/7.5m
¼" 31.73ml/1m; 238ml/7.5m; 476ml/15m
Hey Pete, is it possible to use 2 or 3 whips connected together. So you can choose the "right" length and capacity of the hose for a particular job?
hi mate i was in my oils when seeing all then sprayers christmas come early ... i do need some advice im in the works of looking for new sprayer i have wagner 350r its a good machine i had it over 18 months it has had a beating ... in my head i could be in a middle of a job and pump just dies on me so i was think of graco gx21 its defo a upgrade good all rounder whats your options mate?
Hey Gareth.. you’re thinking right my friend, the GX range aimed at the P&D market have been a very popular choice, I can certainly vouch for the performance and reliability.. plus the ability to use ‘professional‘ standard fittings and accessories, such as a hopper and swapping out to a smaller line, allowing you to spray smaller quantities is a great advantage to what you’ve been used to 👍 ..when you can, speak to my friend Mike at SpraymanUK, his Graco knowledge and ability to understand your spraying needs is the best I know 💯 ..plus feel free to reach out to me, happy to help if I can anytime 💙 ..regards Pete
My Wagner 350 gave up on me (about a year of very infrequent use). It started leaking paint and there were not spare parts for it. Liking airless experience, I've decided to go for a Graco and after checking GX range, decided that I don't like plastics in the motor to pump assembly. Full metal is only on the Classic and upwards range. Very happy with my Classic 390 PC cordless sprayer. Got a hopper for it, so much easier to clean and smaller tasks are a breeze now.
💙⚡️
thank you guys for the feed back 🙏✌️
Hi Pete, I've asked questions on here before. Your videos are excellent! Are there any issues with US Grey Imports? If so, what are they? Thanks!
Hey Ryburn, always a pleasure to hear from you.. thanks for your very kind feedback, means a lot my friend 🙏 ..Regarding Grey Imports... the unit won’t be ‘CE’ kite marked, amongst other things it’s an important safety stamp of approval.. following on from this, there will be a power discrepancy between US voltage and EU/UK voltage.. plus if a fault should occur, I’m not aware that a EU/UK distributor / repair centre will want to be responsible for the repair.. whilst they could make the repair, due to the non-existent ‘CE’ kite mark and the potential issues stated above, they could be liable if they was to ‘put their name to it’... apologies if this sounds negative, whilst I could be slightly wrong, it’s not something I would recommend doing.. all the best my friend, keep in touch.. regards Pete
@@PaintHQ Hi Pete, well I have gone amd done it! I have found myself a CE kite marked GX FF in very good condition for a very reasonable price secomd hand along with a bottle of pump armour which the untinhas been washed through with. So as far as I can tell, it has been taken care of! Thanks for your help again!
Ah great news my friend 👏👏👏 ..The GXFF is a great unit, one of my favourites 💙 ..Well done on your purchase, you’ve done right by the CE kite marking.. the unit sounds in great condition.. any problems, let me know and I’ll do all I can to help or steer you in the right direction.. regards Pete
Oh, one more thing. I've noticed that when you spraying the ceiling you go forward and you blink a lot. I know what that blinking means (the paint spray burning your eyes). Using glasses doesn't really work fore they get dirty fast and obscure your vision; why not go backwards when spraying? This way you won't be going into the settling spray and your eyes will be just fine.
Very good point, and thanks fir the tip 🙏 ..I spray a lot of domestic, occupied / furnished properties and this one was no different.. the furniture covered up becomes an obstacle that I’m working around, so you often see me spraying one side, then the other.. plus the fallout from using Graco LP tips is pretty minimal, it’s only because the filmed footage is slowed down that it may appear my eyes are in discomfort.. they really aren’t too bad 😆 ..all the best my friend..regards Pete
Hello. Do you know if we are getting the Quickshot in the UK?
I can’t say too much right now, I’m guided by Graco EMEA (Europe) and I await their talented marketing team to give the green light.. what I can say is yes, exciting times ahead my friend 💙 ..I’ll update you as soon as I can.. regards Pete
@@PaintHQ thanks Pete. I have a 390 which is great but a lot to set up for smaller areas and I have an Ultra which often does the trick but I don’t really find I spray too long with it. I was looking to get a cordless gxff in the next six months to cover the gap but the Quickshot looks like it would suit my work even better.
Awesome spray units you have.. You have a very wise approach to spraying my friend 👏👏👏
Great videos bud just comin across them now was lookin at getting one of the handheld ones now few months and my heads sore lookin at what kind to get out of all of them am a small joinery workshop makin wardrobe and doors all stuff out of mdf and the likes of stuff and there that many reviews good and bad lol what one wood you recommend and where's best to buy... wood love a reply cuz you look like the kind of man that wood know.. thanks
Hey buddy, thanks for supporting the PaintHQ channel 💙 .. I’m happy to help get you up and running if I can.. the handheld units are great for small projects, especially when not over worked and perhaps used to compliment the bigger airless units.. on that note, in your workshop environment, spraying fine finish materials, joinery, mdf.. it could be worth looking at spending a little more and going for the GXFF.. you get the ‘true’ airless spraying experience, with a pressure gauge, flexibility of the hose, built in hopper, and airless spray gun.. it’s classed as an entry level unit but the build quality and reputation of the GX units is well known, I can vouch for how good they are..
I could also assist you with the waterborne primer and topcoat I like to use for joinery if that helps.. I’m a fan of the sprayability and finish quality of AkzoNobel, the high build primer especially has very good isolating / sealing properties of mdf
Regarding the GXFF (or handhelds), if you’re in the UK speak to my friend Mike at SpraymanUK.. he’s super friendly I and knowledgeable, with no pressure to purchase..
Keep in touch, happy to help you further on your journey.. regards Pete
@PaintHQ good man thanks for your your help i must get a look at them ones your on àbout
You’re very welcome.. seriously, I’m happy to help get you up and running if I can 💙 regards Pete
