This video explores the options available when considering purchasing an airless sprayer. I'll walk you through my experience with the Graco GXff and the Graco Ultra Quickshot. If you've got £1000 waiting to be spent, deciding which one to invest in can be daunting. I'll share how I use mine, helping you determine which model aligns best with your specific needs.

Great video Phil. When you show you kit on the job site all set up, then talk about the steps, best approach, materials and you let your brain start sharing all your experience it's super helpful. As a professional I think about buying tools way too much before I pull the trigger, like with my Quick shot which I took your advice and bought, or a Mirka, and now possibly an air scrubber. You are right let's charge more buy better tools and work smarter not harder as you say. Again great videos Phil. Thank you

Once you have the set up you’ll never look back. Having them 2 sprayers doesn’t half make a difference in the quality of the work. 👍🏻nice vid Phil

So true!

I bloody love both sprayers to be honest. I only get the gxff out if i have quite a bit of woodwork to spray, i.e panelling, doors, pic rails, etc etc. If there isn't that much then out comes the quick shot. Have to admit the quickshot is not only faster than brushing and rolling but its probably quicker to clean than a brush and roller and quicker to set up than a brush and roller aswell! It's a hefty investment but I can honestly call it a game changer for me personally.

Great video. I've just painted a room very similar to your room with similar coving, using a Wagner 250 and Graco ultra for the woodwork. The customer is super happy. I also used the Wagner for the walls, but wondered whether you'll be rolling or spraying your walls?

I have a 495 which is great for house bashing, even better if walks and ceilings are all white. I can paint walls and ceilings to finish in a average 4 bed house in day and a half. As it has a 15 meter hose its not good for small jobs as it takes about 3 litres of paint to set it up. I would probably go with the GXFF as a smaller machine for woodwork and smaller jobs i.e one or two rooms. A hvlp is better for solvent based paint in my opinion. 👍

Have you got the hopper kit for it? You can then drip down to the smaller 7.5m hose

@orvillefindley8117 4 ай бұрын

@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator I didn't know you could get a hopper kit for a 495. I'll look into it. I was thinking of a GX as a second machine. I'll stick with a brush for solvent based paints as I seem to mostly use water based on interiors and only use solvent based on exteriors. It's virtually impossible to spray exteriors where I live in Cornwall as it's always far too windy. I would end up painting the house next door 👍😂

Any reason you dont crosshatch the ceilings and do both coats in one pass? Cheers.

@ProfessionalPainterDecorator 4 ай бұрын

2 reasons: 1.didn't wanna overload the ceiling with paint all in one go. 2. all the stuff in the middle was a bummer to get around lol but sometimes I do two passes in one.

Pump life on the Quickshot worries me?

@ProfessionalPainterDecorator 4 ай бұрын

in what way? you won't be using it day in day out and they seem to be lasting better than teh Ultra Max handhelds.. so I've heard.

@AspireDecorating 4 ай бұрын

300 - 600 US gallons depending on what you're spraying. Factor into that the water you put through when cleaning. That's alot of paint when you're only going to use it for the odd bit of woodwork or garage doors etc. 👍

@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator I love the compact Quickshot system though I would probably choose the GXFF battery. Strangely I am in the market for a dedicated woodwork sprayer, I have a 390pc an Ultra Max handheld and a Qtech HVLP. I am curious to see how your Quickshot pump holds out. Great video🎯🎯

New follower here from the Netherlands . Your video was very informative and left nothing I wanted to know behind . So thanks for making this video , I’ll be sure to watch more of you and give spraying a go instead of only brushing and rolling 👌😁

Wouldn’t buy either!! The Wagner sf23 pro is by far the best multi spraying machine with the 20 litre and 5 litre hopper!! And the heated hose. Diaphragm pump by far the best pump low maintenance

have youwatched my gxFF videos? How much spraying are you doing?

@MichaelJohnBrits 3 ай бұрын

One Apartment (65m²) floor space, walls and ceilings only. Then furniture on a regular basis but not high volumes. I've watched it but Airless Discounters day the GX FF will not work for emulsion paints. I'm leaning towards the GX21 for emulsion and the Quickshot for oils and solvent based, but I like the hopper on the FF

@@MichaelJohnBrits GXff and gx21 are the same pump/unit. I explain the difference on the other videos. Are you still using oil based paint?? Water based paint sprays so lovely and so easy.. with a great finish.

I'm so used to automotive solvent based that it's taking me a while to adapt to water based. Honestly, I'm struggling with quality in Germany but it's probably my lack of experience with water based
