What happens here

After priming, switch the sprayer to the "spray" setting. Before commencing with your actual project, it's recommended to practice and dial down the speed or pressure to its lowest setting using the adjustment knob. Always begin spraying at the lowest possible pressure and then gradually increase it until the desired smooth and even finish is achieved. The sprayer can also be effectively used in an inverted position, which is particularly useful for accessing awkward angles or spraying the undersides of objects without any interruption to the paint flow. The Graco Ultra is designed to be used with FFLP (Fine Finish Low Pressure) tips, which run at lower pressures compared to typical airless units, effectively eliminating striping and providing a high-quality finish. This makes it highly suitable for small projects like furniture, doors, or vents. However, due to its smaller cup size, it's not practical for large projects that would require frequent refilling.

Goal: Achieve optimal spray finish by adjusting pressure and utilizing FFLP tips for suitable projects

to prime. Hold it for a second at high speed, flip it to spray. Now, it's ready to go. Now, I'm going to just dial it down to my lowest speed. And whenever you're spraying, you want to start at your lowest speed or pressure right there and adjust it accordingly to whatever you're spraying to get the finish that you want. It's that easy to use. It comes with a rack guard with an with an FFLP tip. These things run at low pressures unlike your typical airless unit. So, it has to use the LFLP tips. And you can see it's a Graco the Rack X tips. All the tips are going um converting over to the FLP tips. So, that's all you'll be able to get anymore here fairly soon. My local paint store doesn't even carry the regular RAX ones. But that's it. It's very simple, easy to use, and it's an excellent unit. It's not very heavy. It's lightweight. You can just carry it around. This thing is great for using on small projects. I can see using it on furniture. Uh if you got a a door to spray, you can use it to spray a door. If you've got to climb up high up on a ladder just to spray something like a vent, you don't want to use it for large projects like an entire house or entire fence cuz you're just going to have to keep filling this cup up just over and over and over again, which is pretty impractical versus just using a regular airless sprayer.
