Graco Ultra Quickshot Review and Comparison

In this video we review and unbox the Graco Ultra Quickshot. We compare it to the Graco Handhelds and spray a demo piece of wood using Sherwin Williams Pro Classic. Check out this review to see if the Ultra Quickshot will be good for your next project.

The grounding is primarily to stop solvent vapour explosion. Static build up is the same for water or solvent but water doesn't ignite!

Just bought one. If you plan on spraying any type of primer I suggest using bigger orifice tips. Doesn't work well with tips that come with it.

The dripping was kind of concerning. Maybe it was off the tip guard? Either way, I’m pulling the trigger at the end of the month. Nice video!

I was losing my mind watching the paint drip from the gun. I have the same sprayer and I have used it on a few jobs now and works pretty well.

Electrician here: For those seriously using the grounding cable included, please be aware the cable is fine and all but just about 90 percent of homes in America have outlets in them where the ground may not be hooked up properly at the outlet. Just an FYI

thanks for showing this awesome sprayer!

would you do a tile roof ? prob 120m2 ? or is that too big a job ?
could prob do it in stages so batteries recover

Something that I'm not clear on. At about 3:30, you said that the machine is good for about 200 gallons TOTAL use. Do you mean by this that at about 200 gallons that the machine dies? Or did you mean a max of 200 gallons before you need to give the machine a rest and service it? I started seeing this as a way to do inside of cupboards and closets, but then started thinking that it'd be great for cutting out. Then I imagined that it would be nice for doors, and while we're at it, why not ceilings and walls? Every one of my jobs, for two coats takes about 10 gallons. Do I have to worry that about 20 jobs in that the machine is dead?

Hey, I’ve just bought my quick shot set up! I love it… I don’t love how difficult it is to put the bloody lid on the cup… is there a trick, I feel like it cross threads like a mo fo. Do I need to push it down first, then turn? It seems the only way… I nearly shot the apprentice, then I found I really struggled with it too. Fortunately I caught it before it leaked everywhere.

I did just look up the owners manual for this sprayer and it does show how to remove the pump. That possibly means it is replaceable. I don't know why they would show you this on page 8 just to take pump out and throw sprayer away. I did not however find out where the replaceable pumps are and how much they are. Financially speaking, if you charge $200 for every job you spray one gallon (prob make more than 200) and you spray a total of 150 gallons, that's a profit of $30, 000. Even if thrown out, it makes money fast & easy vs brush/roll.

1. Fluid moving through a conduit creates static electricity. Solvents are highly flammable. The grounding wire is to keep a static spark from exploding the gun in your hand.
2. You jumped from starting to explain priming and went straight into cleaning. ???
3. I've had the 360 for several years: Zero leaks & zero problems priming it.
4. Priming the pump has nothing to do with hose length.
5. Never keep spraying water through the tip.

Is this available as a bare tool? I have a bunch of dewalt batteries and I’m sure those batteries are driving up the cost.

[frankdotterer]

How well would this work for priming and finishing cabinets in small apartments?

[stevenmorris]

I had the previous model hand held. I didn't use it for about 14 months. When i finally did, the battery did not want to power it or charge . Ended up buying a new battery.

[egarcia]

what tip & setting you suggest for water base top coat

[PaulDavies-xs]

I’ve been using mine for a while, one note of caution. Do not allow water to seep through the vents into the electrical portion. I accidentally did this while cleaning up and shorted out the gun.. Careful when I’m washing now otherwise very happy.

[Comndr.]

I dont buy a sprayer bevore ive seen a video how to repack it. Is it possible?

[spkendrick]

so after 150-200 gallons or so you have to buy another machine or rebuild it ?

[Benmeglei]

How come it’s dripping like that? Is that normal?

[MelindaHowell-ey]

If you were painting cabinets, would you get the quick shot or buy one of the Pro Finish HVLP’s?
