68 years old, retired. painted for 46 years strait. glad to have survived the ordeal. have had many graco rigs. all were work horses. seeing this machine and the upgrades it has allmost make me want to spray something.
The pump doesn’t affect the pattern other than by its pressure setting. Pump X, Y, or Z should all give the same results, assuming that the pressure gauge is reading correct.
Ran some test on my 595 with new pressure gauge and was surprised to find the same results with emerald urethane. I’ve never had a pump with a pressure gauge and your right it’s all the fflp tip making the perfect fan at low pressure only issue I ran into is the tip getting clogged at lower pressures but I guess if you strain your paint well you could effectively spray a set of cabinets at super low pressures
@@mallerpaintingcompany I think I’ve consistently sprayed fflp tips around 1,500 psi with no clogging problems. At some point your hand would have to slow down at lower pressures to get adequate coverage, I think. I love the speed of an airless, so I’m not sure it’s worth it for me to get the pressure terribly low. I’ve been painting for years, but for some reason never watched much on RUclips about it. I’m a solo painter/owner, hoping to hire a crew again someday, but it’s so nice not having any employee drama. I’ve been tuning in to see if I’m missing out on things or could learn more, especially on pricing. Once I build more confidence in myself and costs, I think then I can scale up a little more. 12 years in business, 20-25 painting. I love to spray new millwork and repaint cabinets. Might switch to a Gemini product called evo that a local store carries in my hometown. It’s water based, bonds and lays down great.
FFLP tips atomise at about 900-1100 depending on what you are putting through them regardless of what pump you use ive put zinsser bullseye 123 through a 210 and it was absolutely fine
The very lowest PSI I can get without tails on a Titan 440 or Graco 390 is 2000 psi if the product is thin enough. What pump are you having success spraying a good pattern at 900 psi?
I've got a 440 impact and two Wagner 250r and a XVLP FC 3500 and I've put over a 1000 litres through a 250r and it still works absolutely outstanding little pump but a pump is only as good as the last person who used it if maintained properly they will run and run for years
try putting a 200 mesh filter in the manifold and the gun. Strain your paint, then setup on low pressure around 600psi and use a .12though fflp tip. While you're at it, try a fflp414, at 350-400psi, you will be shocked.
Totally agree with that so many people try and use an FFLP tip with a 60 mesh it just doesn't work you will get stoppages every time and never get a decent pattern and you will destroy the tip in no time at all
Thanks for the demo. You show the pressure consistency of this new unit. I can see the big difference between the new 490XT and my 490PC Pro. How much of this pressure control do you can be attributed to the new pump that these are using?
I own at least 6 490s ranging from 2 to 20 years old. I use 2 for fine finish with fflp tips and I am skeptical of this new pump. I’m sure it is better in some ways but honestly, what advantage is knowing digitally what pressure you are spraying at? I would think you test it, dial it, then look at what pressure it is. So what? Also the big factor not mentioned here is what product is being sprayed. Huge factor
@@BR-lp6rf Graco pushes the quietness of the XT but that doesn't mean much to me given all my spraying is outdoors. As for the pressure consistency I really enjoy my 490PC Pro and have never had any problems with it. I think the pump in the XT is potentially more impressive if it actually can outlast the endurance pump by 5x's. Only time will tell if this turns out to be true. The biggest drawback on the XT is the $2500 price tag.
@@swordfish1120 yeah but I have never burned a motor on a graco and I have owned 10 or more. Packings, pistons, bypass valves, etc are easy to replace. Electronics, not so much. I will probably end up with one of these before too long and we’ll see. I do have 2 quick shots and I must say, I really like them so I am not against new tech haha
Great question I have not sprayed an exterior with my 490 yet only cabinets but I would assume max pressure (3000-3300psi) especially if spraying satin finish. You could also use an LP tip if you wanted to slow things down for some shakes or spraying deck railings then I would suggest around 2000 psi
Might be a little different in your region but both the high boy and low boy 490xt were $2200. I had my option and picked the low boy as I wanted to add a hopper and the new power shot gun attachment when it comes out.
@@mallerpaintingcompany I want to buy this painting machine for myself too. Now I use the Graco Ultra Max 495 American version at 110v, through a transformer, since we have a voltage of 220v. But my device is almost 6 years old, I want to upgrade it to a new version of XT. Tell me how much difference does it feel between the old models and this device?
It’s a completely new system from the old Graco. They are significantly more quiet, clean faster with less water and can be sprayed efficiently at low pressure with lp tips. Definitely an upgrade from any older Graco 👍🏻
Why didn't the sprayer keep up the pressure at the tail end. To me the pump should have cycled. 2:22 Or is it that this model doesn't regulate initial pressure.

That’s a lot of years behind the brush 💪 Its definitely an exciting machine now I just need a robot to spray the paint on for me 🤣

Yes no tails try changing your gun filter and tip seat that should work and add a bit more water than usual
It was a cheap Wagner 250r I put the paint through a 160 mesh strainer after I thinned it out

350-400 psi 🤔 Im calling bullshit but I will give it a shot and and report back.
@@mallerpaintingcompany I very much doubt 400psi as well 900 is it lowest I got it to atomise and spray nice
@@mallerpaintingcompanydid you try it?
I want the 495 ultra 2 but you just can beat my 395 pc what a work horse sprayed a lot of paint though it with minimal problems
🤘😎🤘

Sweet!
😃
I think i might become a painter with these new techs
It’s a good living 👌🏻
Great video. What kind of pressure do you recommend with Emerald Exterior with something like a 515 LP? Thanks

looks pretty awesome, if you get time paint a fence or house with it .
I am doing an exterior with it soon and will make a video of that alongside the T5 and compare both
thinking about grabbing this one
This is the best pump I’ve ever owned. I’ve sprayed almost 20 gallons of cabinet paint/ primer through it now. Definitely worth investing in 👌🏻
hello! how much does the painting machine cost?

@@mallerpaintingcompany where are you located for this price?

I’m not sure
How long before Harbor Freight knocks this one off too? Lol
I’d buy one lol 😂
ran into a guy who thins the gallery 10%, he says he sprays it at 285psi with a XT
I suppose you could if you strained your paint really good, thinned properly, with fine mesh filters and fflp tip. However sounds kind of slow to me 😂
@@mallerpaintingcompany nope, control of an HVLP but speed of an airless.
The machine is nothing to do with it. You are using a FFLP tip. Or Fine Finish Low Pressure tip. I can do the same with my old 495.
I did some tests with my 495 high boy and was able to get similar results so you are correct ✅
Put in a bigger tip and see what happens
We all know what would happen 🤣🤘
It’s better tritech.
I’m not sure but I plan to do a head to head test and compare this pump to the tritech.
I have a 390 cordless which is very handy ,but feels like a toy next to my tritech t5 ,so well built
Nice I’ve been hearing a lot of good things about tritech I plan to purchase one this summer and do a comparison to my new 490xt.
I used a tritech t9 for a big job. It didn’t fail. Only complaint it’s loud. Heavy for one person.
