Graco Ultra Handheld Paint Sprayer Test & Review

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The Graco Ultra sprayer is designed to be used with FFLP (Fine Finish Low Pressure) tips, such as the Graco RackX tip. These tips are crucial because they allow the sprayer to operate at lower pressures, providing a fine finish and eliminating common issues like striping that can occur with other sprayers. This means you typically don't need to thin out your paint products, making preparation simpler. This sprayer is excellent for small to medium-sized projects such as furniture refinishing, painting doors, or tackling hard-to-reach areas like vents. However, due to its cup capacity, it is not practical for large-scale projects like painting an entire house or a long fence, as you would need to constantly refill the cup.

Goal: Understand the correct spray tip type to use and identify appropriate projects for the sprayer.

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.
