FAQs

Common questions answered.

Five of the questions we hear most often on carpark and street linemarking gear. Full knowledge base on our FAQ page.

  • Which paint sprayer should I buy?

    Match the unit to the coating chemistry and the daily work volume:

    • DIY weekend project: Graco Magnum X5 (entry electric airless)
    • Serious DIY / weekend contractor: Magnum ProX17, ProX19, X5, X7
    • Daily-use residential / light-commercial contractor: Graco Ultra 395 PC (17E881), Ultra Max II 495 PC Pro (17E889), 390 PC Stand (17C386), 190 PC Express (17C384)
    • Commercial production with BlueLink tracking: Ultra Max II 595 PC, 695 PC, 795 PC, 1095 PC
    • HVLP fine finish (cabinets, doors, trim): FinishPro HVLP 9.5 ProContractor (17R080), FinishPro II 395 PC Air-Assisted Airless (17C321)
    • Handheld touch-up: Ultra QuickShot, TrueCoat 360 Connect, Ultra Cordless 17N221, Ultra Corded 17M362
    • Cordless full unit: 390 PC Stand Cordless (25T882)
    • Texture and Level 5 plaster: Mark V XT HD 3-in-1, RTX5500PX (acrylic textures only)
    • Solvent-based industrial on steel: air-driven only - Merkur ES 30:1, Merkur 30:1, Merkur X48 (48:1, 4800 PSI for Jotacote 605), King E60 (6000 PSI hazardous-area, high-build mining), King 70:1 (intumescent)
    • Sand or stone render: ToughTek F340e or M680a, NOT electric (sand and stone cannot go through an electric airless tip)
  • Airless or HVLP: what is the difference?

    Airless atomises paint by forcing it through a precision-orifice tip at high pressure (typically 1500 to 3300 PSI on contractor electric airless, up to 7000 PSI on King 70:1 air-driven industrial). High flow rate, fast coverage, suits walls, ceilings, fences, decks, structural steel and bulk surfaces. HVLP (High Volume Low Pressure) atomises paint at low pressure with a high volume of warm dry air through a turbine, producing a finer finish with less overspray. Suits cabinets, doors, trim, woodwork and any surface where finish quality matters more than coverage speed. Most cabinet and joinery contractors run an airless for the bulk and an HVLP for the show pieces. Air-assisted airless (FinishPro II 395 PC) bridges the gap with airless throughput at HVLP-class finish quality by adding a small 10 to 15 PSI air supply to the airless gun.

  • What is the FFLP seal rule on RAC X tips?

    RAC X SwitchTips come in two main families. Standard blue RAC X (LTX) for general contractor airless paint at full pump pressure. RAC X FFLP (Fine Finish Low Pressure) for cabinet, trim, door and fine-finish work at 25 to 40 percent lower operating pressure. The two families look similar but FFLP tips use a SMALLER seal than standard blue RAC X. When switching between FFLP and LTX on the same gun, swap the OneSeal too, or the tip will leak. Carry a 5-pack of each OneSeal variant on the truck. Single most-common cause of tip leaks on the Graco airless platform is operators swapping tip families without swapping the seal.

  • Solvent-based or water-based coating: which sprayer technology?

    Water-based acrylic (Wash & Wear class, Aqua Enamel water-based trim, most residential and commercial paint) sprays on electric airless from Magnum through Ultra Max II ProContractor at 1500 to 3300 PSI with RAC X SwitchTips. Solvent-based industrial coatings on steel are air-driven only: the electric motor on an electric sprayer is a spark risk on a flammable-coating site. Merkur ES 30:1 (low-flow, around 0.4 GPM / 1.5 LPM, 0.7 SCFM @ 100 PSI), Merkur 30:1 (high-flow, up to 4.5 LPM / 1.2 GPM, 17 SCFM @ 100 PSI), Merkur X48 (48:1, 4800 PSI max for Jotacote 605 2-pack epoxy, two-gun capable), King 45:1 (around 180 CFM compressor required), King 70:1 (intumescent and Interchar 3120 fireproofing), King E60 (6000 PSI, hazardous-area approved for high-build mining). Confirm the coating TDS for minimum pressure, tip orifice and ratio requirements before specifying the unit.

  • Sand or stone render: which sprayer?

    Sand and stone cannot go through an electric airless tip. Standing rule from Graco technical (Jeff Nind): "you cannot spray any product with a sand or stone with an electric unit through a spray tip." Sand and stone require the Graco ToughTek range. ToughTek F340e covers cementitious materials at around 45 LPM, confirmed compatible with Xypex Concentrate by Graco technical. ToughTek M680a is purpose-built for high-viscosity mortar mixed with sand (2-part epoxy mortars and similar). ToughTek S340e portable piston pump covers fireproofing. For acrylic textures without aggregate, RTX5500PX is the right call (kit includes 3, 4, 6, 8, 10 and 12 mm round nozzles plus the WideTex Adapter with 4 mm). Mark V XT covers Level 5 plaster and roof restoration membrane (no aggregate) up to around 4.5 LPM through a 3 in 8 inch hose, but Mark V XT is NOT for cementitious with aggregate. For sand or stone aggregate, ToughTek only.

Choosing the Right Paint Sprayer

131 Graco airless paint sprayers covering DIY through industrial application. Magnum tier for occasional through small-contractor use, Ultra non-PC for daily-contractor entry, Ultra PC ProConnect for production work, FinishPro HVLP and AAA for fine finish, Mark V XT and Mark VII for texture and Level 5 plaster work, GX 19 / GX 21 for general portable industrial, plus the Merkur and King families for solvent-on-steel and protective coatings work.

Choose by daily duty cycle. Occasional and weekend DIY: Magnum Project Painter Plus, X5, X7. Serious DIY through small contractor: Magnum ProX17, ProX19. Daily residential / light-commercial: Ultra 390, Ultra 395, Ultra 450 (non-PC) or step up to Ultra 395 PC, 390 PC Stand, 190 PC Express (PC tier). Commercial production: Ultra Max II 595 PC Pro, 695 PC Pro, 795 PC Pro and the active Ultra Max II range with BlueLink tracking. The Ultra Max II 490 PC Pro, 650 PC Pro and 1095 Standard Series are discontinued; existing units remain serviceable through the spare-parts collection.

Specialty: HVLP, handheld, cordless, texture, industrial. Cabinets, doors, trim and fine-finish: FinishPro HVLP 9.5 ProContractor (17R080), FinishPro II 395 PC Air-Assisted Airless (17C321). Handheld touch-up: Ultra QuickShot, TrueCoat 360 Connect, Ultra Cordless (17N221). Full-unit cordless: 390 PC Stand Cordless (25T882). Texture and Level 5 plaster: Mark V XT HD 3-in-1, Mark VII; RTX5500PX for acrylic textures only.

Solvent-on-steel: air-driven only. Standing rule from Graco technical (Jeff Nind): solvent-based industrial coatings on steel need an air-driven airless because the electric motor on an electric sprayer is a spark risk on a flammable-coating site. Merkur ES 30:1 and Merkur 30:1 for daily solvent-on-steel; Merkur X48 for Jotacote 605 2-pack epoxy; King E60 (6000 PSI hazardous-area) for high-build mining; King 70:1 for intumescent.

The sand-and-stone rule. You cannot spray any product with sand or stone through an electric airless tip. Sand and stone require the ToughTek range. For acrylic textures without aggregate, the RTX5500PX is the right call. For Level 5 plaster finish (no aggregate), Mark V XT covers it. For sand or stone aggregate, ToughTek only.
