Graco’s Newest Airless Sprayer Has A Big Problem?

FOR THE HATERS: UPDATED REVIEW HERE

Unboxing and initial review of the new cordless Graco Ultimate Quickshot Sprayer. Spoiler- it’s not a long test.

I just bought by Graco Quickshot. Shot water through it and it was dripping at the tip guard seal. But I tried some different finishes and it seemed to run fine, even with thinner ones. Seems like your experience was a manufacturing defect since yours was also dripping paint. Mine seems to only drip water and is fine with a variety of finishes, although I do not plan to run super thin finishes like lacquers through this gun.

Ive had mine for less than a week and had the gun stop spraying primer the first go. I cleaned it, ran gallery through it and had the same issue but then had difficulty getting the remaining paint to get through the line but finally did. Cleaned the system extremely thoroughly and then was ready for a second coat of gallery only to see the gun spitting badly followed by a short stream after releasing the trigger. I called Grayco today and requested a call back but have yet to hear from them. Its very disappointing for a 1400 unit. Im hoping I got a lemon and they will replace it for me.

Dude do you know anything about viscosity. My large airless sprayer leaks water at the hose joint but never leaks paint.

Hey man, the sprayer it's not made for water😅

I have, no drips with water or latex. This week shooting cabinets with viynl sealer and pre-cat lacquer. Will update if I see issues.

Have you tried the titan flex spray?Im a painter in Chicago I don’t do much spraying but the titan flex spray has been good so far in limited use.Easy to set up and clean.Sprayed nicely with advance and ultra spec.I’m not sure how the finish compares to other hvlps.A lot of people like it but some really hate it.I think you really have to read the instructions thoroughly otherwise you have issues.Thanks for the video!

Also try switching out the seal and no need to use a wrench to tighten the guard mate. Blessings

Thanks for making this video. Everyone seems to rave about the product right out of the box, but it’s good to see that sometimes even the best products can have a QC problem, and how to work out a solution. Now I know what to watch out for with my new purchase. I’ll be sure to buy through a rep - just in case mine has a misaligned thread too!

I love my quick shot and use it for all sorts of finishing

[denniskeane]

I had a dripping problem, but slightly tightened it with a wrench. Problem solved. Next use only required hand tightening

[markmanning]

Just wondering, what was your outcome? I’m thinking of purchasing the unit.

[scottmcbride]

Lol. A lot of sprayers leak when using water. The paint won't leak. But if you still had problems then you probably got a bad one. I've watched many videos on this sprayer and love it.

Hi there.
A tip usually comes with a tip seal which is different to some tips types. Have you got this installed before spraying??

[jeffhopper]

Thanks for video. Guess what? I bought quick shot at Sherwin Williams a few days ago. Fired it up with water and it leaked just like yours. Will be visiting Sherwin Williams tomorrow.

I just got one last week and it leaked with water but stopped with paint

Hey - ive been using their old utramax handheld, it was a nightmare !! Leeking was on a big issue with that one too ! Issue i beleive is in the triax pum! After playing with this unit for 5 years, ihave some experiance. Its nothing to do with your guard . it the pums nosel keep realeasing the preasure into your tip ever after you have let go of the trigger. Preasure is not get contained in the pump, the shut off valve is not fully closed ! This will mainly happens on the triax pump.

But we do use may other greco products, you can see this happening on big ST Max 495s, when you connect a extention pipe to the gun. Now this is nothing to with greco !! Reason: if you have trapped air in your large extention pipe that connected to the gun it will keep leaking out of the tip. Way we resolve it is, remove the tip and guard and prime the paint throuhg the extention pipe.

Now in quick shot which has the triax pump, sometime not much you can do if you have tried all the priming process. Just simply replace the pump ! new quck shot is a great product but its a shame that they have a bad pump design. I belive they have improved the hardness of the pump, but after seeing your vid confirms that same issues still there. If they install beter harder metal single piston pum this unit is a game changer!

[leroyromero]

I have two of them and they work great

You don’t spray with water, never had one issue 100 jobs completed, it’s definitely not for big jobs, it’s all about convenience. Time cleaning sold me, it’s all ready paid for itself, I never had a leak something is definitely wrong with the gun seal, possibly metal bent. I’m definitely going to check in the morning see if mine actually leaks. I really don’t remember having any leaks.

I wouldn't purchase this thing! I've seen this dripping problem while spraying SW Emerald at all pressures. Your not the only one. Thanks for sharing.
