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 Magnum sprayer should I buy?

    Match by use frequency and work scope:

    • One-room interior repaints, single fence, occasional DIY: Magnum Project Painter Plus
    • Serious DIY / weekend contractor (residential through light-commercial): Magnum ProX17 (17H203) or ProX19 (17H210)
    • Regular residential / multi-room repaints: Magnum X5 (16W120)
    • Larger residential / light-commercial: Magnum X7 (16W121); Essentials Kit version 16W121-B
    • ProX17 / ProX19 with Pro DIY Kit included: dedicated kit listings
    • Daily-use professional contractor: step up to the Ultra 395 PC / Ultra Max II 495 PC Pro range, not Magnum
  • Magnum ProX17 versus ProX19: what is the difference?

    Both are small-contractor / serious-DIY tier with the same unit style and the same RAC X SwitchTip ecosystem. ProX19 supports a larger maximum tip size than ProX17 (0.019 inch orifice family well within ProX19 flow rate) and has slightly higher daily run capacity, meaning longer continuous run times before pump cooling. For most small-contractor work either is right; ProX19 is the better choice if you regularly use 0.019 inch orifice tips or larger, or run sustained sessions of more than two hours per day.

  • Can a Magnum spray water-based and solvent paint?

    Water-based acrylic (Wash & Wear class, most residential and light-commercial paint): yes, all Magnum unit handle it at standard airless pressure with RAC X SwitchTips. Solvent paint on light-duty applications (fences, sheds, decks): yes, ensure the gun, hose and tip are solvent-rated and run a thorough end-of-shift flush followed by Pump Armour. For solvent-based industrial coatings on steel (Jotacote 605, Interzone 954, intumescent etc.), Magnum is NOT the right unit. Industrial solvent coatings on steel must run on an air-driven airless because the electric motor on a Magnum is a spark risk on a flammable-coating site. Standing rule from Graco technical: Merkur, King and similar air-driven units only for industrial solvent-on-steel work.

  • How often should I service a Magnum sprayer?

    End-of-shift Pump Armour flushing on every use - this is the single biggest determinant of pump life. Inspect the Magnum Inlet Strainer (288716) at every shift change and replace when visibly worn or clogged. Replace Inlet Valve Repair Kit (16E844) and Outlet Valve Repair Kit (16E845) when pump bypass appears (paint pressure drops during continuous spray) or when visible leak. Major service interval per the Graco Magnum operator manual; for occasional DIY use the kits typically last several years between replacements when Pump Armour is used at end of every shift.

  • Magnum or step up to Ultra?

    Magnum for occasional through weekly use, residential and light-commercial work. Step up to the Graco Ultra 395 PC (17E881), Ultra Max II 495 PC Pro (17E889) or 390 PC Stand (17C386) for daily-use professional contractor work. The Ultra PC range adds ProConnect quick-change pump (cartridge-swap in seconds, in-field service), FastFlush single-handle end-of-shift cleaning, SmartControl pressure regulation, and BlueLink GPS tracking and material-per-job logging on Ultra Max II 595 PC and up. The Graco Vortex pump fitted to the Ultra Max II ProContractor range and Mark V XT delivers packings around 6 times longer than the standard piston-pump system. As a working rule, if you spray paint more than two days a week for paid work, the Ultra PC range is the right call.

Graco Magnum: DIY Through Small Contractor

The Graco Magnum range is the entry into Graco airless paint spraying. Sized for occasional through weekly use on residential and light-commercial work: walls, ceilings, fences, decks, gates, sheds. All-electric, RAC X SwitchTip atomisation, and a full Magnum-range accessories ecosystem - ProXchange replacement pumps, Tru Airless Tip range, Magnum filters, Magnum hose and end-of-shift Pump Armour for service.

Magnum Project Painter Plus, the entry unit. Graco Magnum Project Painter Plus is the entry electric airless. One-room interior repaint, single fence, single shed, occasional DIY project. Simple controls, lightweight, ready to spray out of the box. Takes RAC X tips up to 0.015 inch.

Magnum ProX17 + ProX19, serious DIY and weekend contractor. Magnum ProX17 (17H203) and ProX19 (17H210) step up to small-contractor / serious-DIY tier. Higher daily run capacity than Project Painter Plus, larger tip size support, more durable pump for sustained sessions. ProX17 takes tips to 0.019 inch; ProX19 to 0.021 inch.

Magnum X5 + X7, general residential and light-commercial. Magnum X5 (16W120) and X7 (16W121) cover general residential through light-commercial work. The X7 also ships in a kit version (16W121-B with Essentials).

Magnum-specific accessories. Magnum ProXchange replacement pump for in-field pump swap (the cleanest Magnum service path). Tru Airless Tip range for Magnum-spec tip selection. Magnum-spec inlet strainers + manifold filter mesh + 60/100 mesh gun filters cover the full Magnum filtration stack. Pump Armour at end of every shift is the single biggest determinant of Magnum pump life.

When to step up to Ultra or Ultra PC. If the daily run is more than two days per week of paid work, step up to the Graco Ultra 395 PC (17E881), Ultra Max II 495 PC Pro (17E889) or 390 PC Stand (17C386). The Ultra PC range adds ProConnect quick-change pump (in-field cartridge swap), heavier pump duty cycle and longer pump service life.

Pump life on a Magnum: Pump Armour at end of every shift. Drain remaining paint back into the can, run a clean-water flush through the pump and gun on waterborne (or matched solvent on solvent paint), then fill the pump with Pump Armour for storage. The few minutes per shift pay back over multi-year pump life.
