Homeowner Airless Paint Sprayers
Homeowner airless paint sprayers from Graco - the Magnum family for DIY and serious-DIY use. Same RAC X SwitchTip ecosystem as the professional Ultra and Ultra Max II lines, simpler controls, lower capex, ready to run on residential and light-commercial work.
Entry: Magnum Project Painter Plus. Graco Magnum Project Painter Plus is the entry homeowner airless. One-room interior repaints, fences, occasional DIY. Lightweight, simple controls, RAC X SwitchTips, ready out of the box.
Step up: ProX17, ProX19, X5, X7. Magnum ProX17 (17H203) and ProX19 (17H210) for serious DIY through weekend contractor work. Magnum X5 (16W120) and X7 (16W121) for general residential through light-commercial. The X7 ships in a kit version (16W121-B with Essentials Kit). ProX17 and ProX19 are also available bundled with the Pro DIY Kit, which adds the matched RAC X SwitchTip set plus consumables for first-job deployment.
When to step up to professional. If you spray paint more than two days a week for paid work, the Graco Ultra 395 PC (17E881), Ultra Max II 495 PC Pro (17E889) and 390 PC Stand (17C386) professional range is the right call. Higher pump duty cycle, ProConnect quick-change pump and FastFlush cleaning save service downtime that pays back the higher capex. The Vortex pump on Ultra Max II ProContractor delivers packings around 6 times longer than the standard piston-pump system. For DIY and weekend contractor use, Magnum stays the right call.
Pump Armour at end of every shift. The single biggest determinant of Magnum pump life is end-of-shift Pump Armour flushing. Even on occasional DIY use, the few minutes per shift pays back in years of pump life. Without Pump Armour, dried paint binds the packings and piston and is the most common cause of premature pump failure.
