Graco 26D280 TrueCoat 360 Single Speed Paint Sprayer, Corded Electric, (Blue/White)

love this gun

Follow the instructions and looks like something is stuck. I basically use it for 30min or less.I tried 3x different brands to clean/unclogI’ll try to return for sure .

I used this to paint my cabinets and they came out great. It was easy to use once we got the hang of it. Make sure you read the directions on how to operate the sprayer, I can’t stress this enough. So many bad reviews on here for many different reasons that can be avoided. I also recommend making sure the paint is thinned enough, if it’s too thick it’ll clog up the sprayer. Make sure you clean it thoroughly after and store it properly as well…again, read ALL the directions.

After a considerable amount of research, I bought this sprayer to paint our kitchen cabinets. Unfortunately it never made it that far. During the clean up after the inaugural trial run, something happened with the motor and it seemed to have locked up. Returned it with no problem so I appreciate that.Things I liked:Clear instructions. Really like that they are laminated so they will last in the environment that you will be using them. Several steps to the process and you definitely need to read them ahead of time as well as when you setting up/cleaning the sprayer.Comfortable grip/easy to handle while painting.The flip tip to backwash/clear the spray tip is an interesting/unique feature to this sprayer.There is no siphon tube so you can paint upside down or any angle that you need to be in.Things that weren't great:It is noisy. I had read that in the reviews so I expected it. Accurate compared to other sprayers.Difficult to do small jobs because you you need to fill the paint holder to reduce the amount of air in the holder prior to priming. Its doable but you have to squeeze as much of the air as you can out before priming the sprayer. That part was not clear in the otherwise thorough instructions.One of the reasons I bought this sprayer was because you are supposed to be able to spray without thinning the paint. I was spraying a latex and ended up thinning by 10% to reduce spits.Biggest negative, besides it failing, is that there is no control on the amount of paint it sprays. Knew that I couldn't control the amount of paint when I purchased it but now that I have purchased another sprayer with flow control, that is a game changer for me.Since there is no paint "cup" reservoir, there is not an easy way to protect the paint between coats since you will need to clean the sprayer while waiting. With the sprayer I bought to replace this one, I bought a second paint reservoir with a lid so that I can seal the paint and use the second reservoir to run the cleaner through the sprayer to clean it.Clean up isn't bad. There is more to it than the current sprayer that I bought.If you are doing big jobs and not worried about getting a "perfect" finish like I am on our kitchen cabinets, this sprayer will probably work great for you.

paint very bad

I was nervous getting this item due to poor reviews, but I gave it a shot and it performed great!To ensure a satisfying out and to set expectations read the instructions thoroughly, if you’re in a hurry or on a time crunch, just don’t.The sprayer gives you a great finish and it’s really easy to apply paint, but setup and cleanup are a bit laborious. I hate using brushes and rollers!Pros:• Professional finish• Ease of paint application• Fewer coats• Dries really fast!Cons• Setup and cleanup are time consuming• Skipping or missing steps will lead to issues• Small paint container - did the double closet doors and needed to refill the paint hopper• Wastes paint - it’s the nature of a airless spray paintedOverall, I’m very happy and will enjoying painting a little more than before.

For small jobs this sprayer is an awesome addition to the tool bin!

I bought this as a replacement to the original handheld cup gun. The first gun worth the money but this replacement is probably one of the biggest failures I have ever purchased. Pump is weak, spray performance is poor, and sounds like it is going to come apart when you start using it.
