This Will Change The Paint Spraying Game - Graco Ultra QuickShot REVEALED!

We flew to Newcastle, Australia to put the Graco Ultra QuickShot in the hands of @paintingbyjosh ; putting this brand new, revolutionary portable airless spraying through its paces.

We wanted to test what this pump can really handle, who it is for, and just how portable it really is. And without spoiling all the fun... this thing is unreal.

Josh walks through everything that comes in the bag, how to adjust the QuickShot belt, his battery system of choice, and approach to quickly repainting the garage door of this abanonded building in the centre of Newcastle city. That's just how portable this is... rock up, pour paint in, mask up the area, spray and cruise all within half an hour. It changes the game for painters and decorators, mural artists, business owners, content creators and renovators who are looking for the ultimate level of flexibility.

Enjoy the video, we hope you learn if the new Graco Ultra QuickShot is right for you, and hear the thoughts from @paintingbyjosh on where this fits in to his repaint and restoration market in New South Wales.

If you manage to watch until the end, we have a little surprise code that you might like to sweeten the package. Pre-order the new Graco Ultra QuickShot below, which is currently due end of June, 2023 to Australia:

And now to answer some FAQ's for all you deep-researchers out there, we hope this helps!

1) How many litres to a charge? 4L to a charge with the included 18V 2.0AH batteries. If you choose to run the 18/54V FlexVolt batteries, this is yet to be tested.

2) What spray tips are included? The FFLP514 and FFLP210 are standard with the QuickShot - one for wider substrates (walls, ceilings), and the FFLP210 for narrower substrates (window frames, skirting boards, cornice).

3) What is the size of the cup? The Pour-N-Go cup is a 950mL capacity, and is easily refillable.

4) How is this different to the Graco Ultra & Ultra Max Handheld sprayers? This is the next model up in the range - it features a pump unique to the QuickShot, and fixed 1.8M whip hose and handpiece. The cup system is gravity fed, versus vaccum seal; which means it is less common for pressure inconsistencies when spraying.

5) What is the warranty? The warranty is 12 months on the QuickShot and is covered by Graco authorised service and repair agents. GO Industrial covers repairs and warranty nationally in Australia; so hit us up if you have any issues!

6) What is the price? $2,145 inc GST is the RRP provided by Graco Australia. As we mentioned, if you stay to the end of the video... something cool might happen!

7) What is the QuickShot suitable for? If you have smaller projects where convenience is paramount, the QuickShot is for you. It'll handle a range of water-based, oil-based and solvent-based paints. It'll spray materials as thin as lacquers, stains and varnishes, right up to the thickest material being an exterior acrylic. If you're spraying woodwork in a house, 1-2 bedrooms for an insurance repaint, painting furniture or need to hit a section of timber fencing, this is the most convenient unit for you.

8) How good is the finish? Spoiler: so good. With the electronically actuated trigger, this is hardly any spitting. And with the 1.8M hose and gravity-fed cup, paired the FFLP range of tips, pulsation is extremely low, and the finish quality is fantastic. Will it rival a HVLP in terms of overall finish quality? It is still a true airless piston pump, so won't be beating a HVLP for very fine finishing for kitchens and super high-end cabinetry.

9) When does it come out in Australia? We have been advised by Graco Australia that a formal launch date of late June, 2023 is likely. If you pre-order through GO Industrial, you'll be sure to be kept in the loop!

I must admit.. This thing is extremely cool!!! Spraying out a garage door quickly is the perfect application for this thing! After being frustrated with my Graco ultra handheld I can see the clear advancements this unit has made over it. I'm also extremely excited at the 106 and 408 fflp tips. FINALLY!

[joshuawiedenbeck]

Looks like a great unit for exterior work above the 1st story. Standing on a roof, from a basket lift, etc.

Josh, you are an excellent teacher the people who you have trained should be extremely proud to have such a good instructor. Not to mention your clients!

[astro]

It’s always good to actually see a skilled tradesman…much love from Texas man. Subbed 👌

[AngieWilliamsDesigns]

I picked this sprayer up yesterday. I had a demo first. Loved it. Love it even more that I got it home and I’m able to use the materials I normally use. But thanks you for sharing this.

[denniskeane]

Thanks, great video. A video on your process for cleaning and general maintenance with the Graco Ultra QuickShot would be helpful too.

Outstanding work shop in truck sir
Tx for the vid

[FilomenaJackStudio]

Using mine for the first time today! Thanks for the fabulous vid!

[Ahmadandwoods]

I just got mine yesterday haven't used it yet just been watching videos about it😅

100% good video definitely answers a lot of my questions. Thank you so much! 🍻 from New Jersey USA🫡

[RumbatapRo]

See few videos about the QS by far great review im P&D also. And with the bigger battery good thinking. Will buy it now no question about it .Greetings from UK

[Comndr.]

The specification from the Dulux Weathershield Maxiflex.... Dang! this paint is a burner.

[williammorales]

this might be perfect for what we need, about 4 x a year we paint some furniture we buy for us or for gifting but our 5 gal compressor sucks and a fuji hvlp was going to be our 1st choice, We don't use it enough to get a bigger graco and the fuji hvlp is limiting, but this is nice.

[adriandeb]

Best review on youtube, waiting for mine to be delivered in the uk

[tipstrait]

The funny part about this sprayer is it looks like a Graco pro shot and anyone who's used a pro-shot knows you got a hold of it upside down to get it to run right so instead of fixing the problem Graco embraces it😅

[NICK_]

Josh, i hope you're well, mate. I've picked up one of these machines myself. I'm looking forward to spraying doors, door frames, and window frames with it, primarily in an acrylic based paint for trim. I'm just curious, have you tried using enamel paint through it? And if so, how did it spray?

[BTHAlaska]

What a great video! Keep them coming! You did a great job!

[jason-hhlu]

I was tempted by one of these but I did some research and spoke to my paint supplier yesterday, he said he has had loads of the battery Graco sprays guns returned with faults. Nice video mate👍🏻

[CharliewatII]

Looks like a perfect job for a Tough Built Belt & Clip

[Breitsparkle]

Nice video. I wanted to buy one for work and they’re not available yet. Apparently your one of the 2 ppl who have it in Oz.
