Graco TrueCoat 360 2000 psi Plastic Handheld Paint Sprayer

This is my first handheld airless sprayer. Easy to use with fast cleaning. Sprayed a gallon of latex exterior paint refilling the sprayer 4 times. Easier than pulling out the full size sprayer for a gallon of paint. Spray results were great.

I purchased the paint sprayer a few weeks ago and I actually love the way it works.

Used once! It’s awful! Too much overspray, it’s like painting with a cinder block in your hand it’s so heavy, very difficult to clean, not good for painting indoors at all! I wish I would have never bought it! Awful product!

I already own a Graco X5 that completed two outbuildings with impressive results. I thought the project painter would be better for small jobs - indoors - like one room. I tried the Project Painter on my deck first, with stain, and the result was not impressive even on the highest "speed", the pressure/dispersion is nowhere near as fine or precise as the X5, and I'm glad I was outdoors, on a deck, when It didn't matter as much as it would if it were my bedroom - - - so I guess I'll drag the X5 indoors and make it work.

Used it on outside shed for first time. There is a learning curve. I found that if I thin the paint it performs better. Have another outside job to practice on then I will be ready for some furniture jobs. Happy so far

After my initial use, I found the product easy to use. In the beginning, however, the entire process of setting up the sprayer with the stain followed by the clean-up was a little cumbersome. Nevertheless, I soon figured it out and it works great!

Sprays paint very well paint capacity is low and cleanup isn’t fun but overall performance is very good

Not good where a quality finish is desired, doors,cabs,etc. would be good for a fence or patio furniture or something. It pulsates too much and the finish isn’t even and smooth.

I purchased this for paint and stain. Application was ok but cleanup after using an oil-based stain was a nightmare. The instructions said to use soap and water. Duh! I knew better. The amount of small crevices on the body of the gun and small parts made this cleanup a nightmare. The stain could not be completely removed from strainer used to fill the gun. The stem cannot be removed from the strainer so I’ll need to buy a new part or risk flecks of brown stain making it into future paint projects which will be latex white paint. The cup does not hold enough material so frequent, messy refilling was required. The funnel needs to be wider. I transferred stain from the can into a smaller plastic container then into the cup/sprayer. The tips and unclogging design are effective. The sprayer applies an uneven pattern which required brushing after to remove sags and drips. Overall, a toss-up whether using this sprayer saved time and worked better than brushing. I have an help gun with a pressure pot. Cleanup on the at is a pain also but no more painful than cleanup of this sprayer which claim to make the process easy. Your mileage may vary.

We bought this to help my son and daughter inlaw to paint their 85 year old home exterior. I used it first to test the setup and was pleased with the results. We left it with them to continued the painting. We were tickeled to hear our daughter inlaw described how amazing it was to use! She could not stop smiling especially after several days of painting by brush. Nice to bring joy into others lives! Productive and quality results from novice users.

I bought even though I am DIY person because of reviews and the name. I have only used it once since I bought it, but I can say I was happy with the results.

Not bad. Clean up sucks. Very messy to work with. Lots of wasted paint.

I have owned and used Graco sprayers in a painting and contracting business. I know their products to work well and last. While I have a new large airless sprayer, I bought this unit to spray smaller areas. There are a few necessary tasks that must be performed prior to spraying but once you've done it a couple of times it is second nature. I sprayed one door, and it applied the paint evenly and the finish was factory beautiful. Sadly though, that was the good news. The bad news is a few minutes into spraying a wall the sprayer quit spraying and started making a growling noise. I returned the sprayer and painted the project by hand. A note to the designers: The spray pot is a little small especially after priming. I'd like the sprayer to have an attachment line to a gallon paint bucket with a primer bulb.

I just recently purchased this and I have only used it once to paint a cabinet that I built. It did a good job. It’s a lot easier and quicker than using my big airless sprayer

It works ok and can be a bit finicky. Cleaning and ensuring it remains unclogged is a chore.

This is a great product. I used it to paint my kitchen cabinets and the results are near perfect. Having the right paint helps but application is just as important. Only downside side is like all airless sprayers it goes though a lot of paint so have a lot on hand.

I bought this sprayer for small project and works great!..

Still getting to know this product. I used it once to paint my Adirondack chairs. It was easier, and took less time but I did use more paint than expected but it could’ve been new user technique. A better review could be in the future after more uses of the device.

I wanted something without a long cord I could paint with and didn't have a lot of overspray. First time using it I figured out using shields on my corners I could even spray in my cuts. Pretty awesome tool. Pretty reliable also. Not a lot of places for failure or huge core to be tripping over except for the power cord I guess. Variable speed and the fine tip option was awesome for the more sensitive areas I didn't want to overspray. Take some getting used to to get the pattern even. Tool is heavy. Wouldn't really recommend it for children or females. So far very happy that I got it. Already bought the extra 42 Oz magazines with plugs. That's the key to doing production with this piece is to have extra pints filled ready to go.

I work in a rental facility that use to carry these, great little machines for personal ownership, poor things were not meant for the rental way of life. One thing that always failed (mainly due because it was a rental unit and was never handled with care) was the prime cap valve on the top. You open it up and squeeze the bladder (from the bottom. Squeeze it from the mid to top area, you can accidentally disturb the seal from the screw on area) squeezing until the paint comes out the prime, and then close up and squeeze the trigger to prime the pump, and then open the valve to squeeze any excess air out, and start spraying. Sometimes the bladder at the seal, or the valve does not hold, and all the air re-fills the bladder, leading to anger and frustration. Don’t go all Vader on it, the quick fix it ( just to keep working, not actually a fix, but works 100%) is to just turn it upside down, and let gravity feed the pump. You just reposition your grip so that your pinky is not activating the trigger, but this will work guaranteed so you yourself can get the job done, and order a new valve later
