Pete, aside from demonstrating careful masking and spraying techniques, your video production values are top-shelf! As a cameraman and editor in a previous vocational incarnation, I appreciate how much time goes into your videos. Love your low-key, succinct presentation style, brother! Many thanks. :)
Thank you so much for your extremely kind feedback 🙏 You’re right it is a time consuming process - whilst I very much enjoy the creative side to piecing together the videos, it is challenging when coupled with completing a real world P&D job 😩 It certainly means a lot you taking the time to feedback something so nice 😄 Keep in touch brother 🙏 regards Pete 💙💯
@@PaintHQ You're so welcome. It's such a nice change to see someone take the time to use good lighting, mic audio, and music to get that professional result. Nice tight editing too! Keep it up up, Pete - you do us all a great service, brother. (I've watched heaps of your clips in just one sitting :))
Glad to hear the Quick Shot didn't spit with the wand use. I purchased my Quick Shot today and tackle a hundred foot+ of iron spindle fence tomorrow with Rust-Oleum Rusty Metal Primer. Cheers from Texas Hill Country USA.
Thank you for all the great videos. I've learned a ton from your videos and I often do what I've learned from you at work on my jobs. I've got a Quick Shot, I spray my ceilings last, and your detailed information on spray tips has been priceless. Thank you for all the generosity and work you put into these videos. It's not always easy to get help from other painters or even get honest answers sometimes. Either way I've learned a lot from your channel, I've become a better painter because of your channel, and I really can't tell you how much I appreciate all your help. Thank you and please keep the videos coming. Thanks again 👍
Hi Paul.. really appreciate you watching the videos and taking the time to give your feedback.. your kind words of support mean more than you can probably imagine 🙏 ..Great to hear you’ve invested in the QuickShot and you’re having success spraying in your ceilings 💙 ..Keep in touch my friend, it’s great to hear about your experiences and if I can ever provide any help or assistance, I’ll do my very best.. regards Pete
Hmm, I do these whole house repaint all the time. If you’re doing ceilings, walls and trim, if you tried spraying the ceilings first, without covering the walls, then you spray the trim without having to mask the walls and finally you cover the trim and just cut in the top of the wall and roll to the bottom over the trim masking when you’re done. There is no need to mask the walls and spray the ceiling as you were doing. Text Painting from the top then the trim and then the walls are last. Much faster than the way you were doing it.
Never thought to do the ceiling last and use the wall plastic to cover furniture. Usually cover everything, do ceiling and trim, then walls. But might have to try this order next time. Thanks for the vid.
Thank you for watching and sharing your experience - yeah, spraying a ceiling in last can help eliminate the laborious cutting in process, you get the sharpest of lines and it’s so quick and easy spraying the ceiling in last to a finish - and like you seen, covering any furniture is automatic with a 2.6 metre drop of plastic film 👍 ..works very effectively also spraying in a bathroom ceiling, or even a kitchen ceiling (when cutting in above cupboard space is awkward).. if you ever mask tight areas like above cupboards / above shower cubicles for example - tack the plastic down with rolled up tape or double-sided tape, otherwise the plastic can lift and hit the ceiling as the airless pressure passes over 👍 Keep in touch buddy, regards Pete 💙
Really enjoy watching these videos lots of little tips and good advice for someone like me who is just starting out on there spraying journey. Really like the look of the ultra quickshot. 👍
Hey Ryan, really appreciate you watching and your kind words - keep going, spraying projects is a wonderful, rewarding journey, we’re all learning every day - happy to help and advise my friend - regards Pete 💙
Great interesting video mate, your vids have always helped me with my project, although I’ve not managed to find time to finish off my kitchen, so if you fancy a trip to essex there’s a job there for you 😂 thanks Pete keep them coming 👍👍
Thank you my friend, really appreciate your kind feedback and support 🙏 Haha as much as I do enjoy a kitchen project, I avoid the M25 😂😂 - keep going my friend, you’ll be proud of yourself for what you have achieved once it’s done - regards Pete 💙
Always faster to just paint furnished homes. Spraying requires covering up and any touch ups require the whole spray process again (cover up and mask then clean gun) vs just a mini roller or brush. Unless client wants mirror finish in woodwork. Then have fun. This gun is fantastic tho
Nice work mate , i bought a Quickshot a few weeks ago , used it a few times mainly on coving , i doubt i'll get a massive amount of use out of it on the contracts i do to be honest but it does seem a decent bit of kit.
Thank you brother 🙏 It’s great investing in kit that makes our jobs easier 👏👏👏 - keep in touch, it’s great to hear about your experiences - regards Pete 💙
Great job pete that turned out so well there was a bit of work in that all the same,textured wallpaper cant be sprayed because its too porous is it?and im wondering where you tempted to use a graco pressure roller connected to the 390 but would that be overkill?the ultashot looks like a great machine and it must be an absolute godsend that it eliminates spitting
Hey Eddie, yeah you’re right - I have sprayed wallpaper (carefully) in the past. By carefully I mean not drenching with paint, then it would be wise to back roll - when you think that textured paper wouldn’t benefit from a smooth sprayed finish, with the risks, it just makes sense to brush / roll - a pressure roller is a very good idea 👍 you’re like me, thinking of ways to utilise technology to make the process easier 👏👏👏 - all the best my friend, regards Pete 💙
Hi Pete, another great video, really informative and so professional. I’ve recently used the QuickShot in a stairwell great piece of machinery, although I did find overspray a bit of a problem. Would you know of a reason for that?
Thank you Tony 🙏 Happy to help if I can my friend - what was you spraying in the stairwell? Woodwork (spindles / joinery)?.. Then what tip was you using?.. the Ultra QuickShot being an airless unit, managing overspray is all about tip selection / pressure (just enough to atomise the paint - LP / FF LP are great at achieving lower pressures), also effective, strategic masking and spraying technique 👍 keep in touch, regards Pete
Hi Pete, Thank you for your reply, I was spraying spindles, handrails and the stringing. Using Graco FF208 @ No 4 with Zinsser allcoat filtered but straight from the can . It felt very sticky underfoot although i did cover everything before spraying thankfully 😊 Many thanks Tony
Hi Tony, your tip selection and logic sounds spot on 👏👏 ..when spraying spindles you’re more prone to overspray hitting walls or landing on nearby skirting.. a strategic order of spraying (for example you may need to mask off areas already sprayed), masking and definitely floor protection is a must (I use a plastic backed fleece that can be cut or folded and rolled out) - I tack down in the corners like stair rods and roll up at the end of each day, then roll back out the next day - so yeah an FF LP 208 sounds a good choice - it’s just the 4” fan will cause overspray - an FF LP 108 will most likely have too much flow, you’ll get runs.. now if the viscosity is low enough, you may be able to use an FF LP 106 - I have to point out that the UQS is recommended a .008 minimum, mainly due to the 100 mesh filter being the only option (you may get tip blockages).. and the UQS might struggle to ‘force’ the material through such a small orifice (a symptom can be the prime valve opening) - you could try it, but go back to the 208 if things get problematic - Here’s the FF LP 106 in action in the UQS Graco Ultra QuickShot ⚡️ An AWESOME Airless Spraying Experience ⚡️ ua-cam.com/users/shortswYFHyMyzMho?feature=share And here’s a video explaining the FF LP 106 and comparing flow to an FF LP 108 EXPLAINED Graco FFLP 106 and FFLP 108. Paint Viscosity and Airless Spray Tips ua-cam.com/video/02ThdxmVOLw/v-deo.html Hope this helps my friend - regards Pete
Hi Tony.. normally I’m not an advocate of thinning trim / woodwork paints, but a max 10% might be feasible - I’ll check the datasheet and see if I can do some testing 👍 - in the meantime, if you was to try a FF LP 106, just try it cautiously - it probably require a bit more pressure, so if you was at speed 4 with a 208 (which is very promising), I’d guess you might be at speed 6 - if it does work without problems, the control you gain from less flow and the 2” fan, it’s a very rewarding spraying experience 💙 regards Pete
Most definitely a great investment for completing smaller jobs faster 👏👏👏 happy to help any way I can my friend.. keep in touch, it’ll be great to hear what you decide.. regards Pete
Thank you for your question and supporting PaintHQ.. I spray 2 coats - first coat a bit lighter, moving the gun quicker. This allows the coat to dry pretty quick.. then a second coat, a slower movement, to lay down a good coat that dries beautifully 👌 hope this helps my friend, regards Pete
Hi Pete, Interesting that you’ve gone back to using Frogtape over Deltec Gold, is there a reason? I do envy your QuickShot as I’ve another HSL coming up and the hallways are narrow! Hope you’re keeping well. Best wishes, Rob
Hi Rob, I always appreciate and look forward to your input 🙏 Good question - I only use FrogTape to mask if I’m using a brush and roller (which isn’t very often 😀).. I chose to brush and roll, because of the textured wallpaper, then I use FrogTape because of it’s PaintBlock, call it added security to guard against any paint bleed - otherwise you’re right, when spraying I go for a quality gold washi, for it’s thin, strong properties - washi tapes do work with a brush application, but it’s critical to push down the edge, ensuring a 100% bond - I’ll have to do a video where I go through all the individual masking products and in what situation I would use them 👍 Yeah the Ultra QuickShot has become a valuable addition - I’ve completed many small jobs now ⚡️💙 - all the best, it’s always a pleasure my friend 🙏 regards Pete
@@PaintHQ Thanks Pete, a very useful qualification for when to use Frog Tape - I was sure you'd have a reason, just couldn't work out what it was! Best wishes, Rob
Did you get any spits while using the extension bar on the quick shot? It’s an electric trigger isn’t it so be interesting to to know please? Great video as always 👍🏻
Thank you for watching and your kind words of support 🙏Without an extension the UQS virtually eliminates spits, thanks to its electronic trigger and much quicker needle / cleanshot open and close - then adding any extension, like all airless guns, there is a chance of spitting due to paint in the extension that’s at a lower pressure when triggering off Vs the paint that’s held back by the gun / needle - so a spit is paint that’s not fully atomised - spits in emulsion are not so problematic, in that you may not see them (on a textured ceiling for example), or you can trigger on and off on masking, not the project - spits in trim / woodwork are not forgiving, therefore I’d avoid using an extension - so with the UQS improved trigger response the performance is improved but can still be evident when using an extension - if needing to use an extension and you can’t manage spits, a cleanshot valve at the tip guard is the only way - this gives protection past the extension, but sadly would add a little weight to the gun - hope this helps - regards Pete 💙
Do you think your wall paint when using Graco tip 514? I tried using emerald acrylic latex paint with QuickShot and tip 514 and it will not do the job. I thinned it a lot and still won’t spray properly. Any advise would be appreciated. Thanks
That’s a good question my friend - wall paints / latex I do thin around 5% - 10% (max 10%), it helps ease the flow, reduce the pressure required 👍 I even use warm water to thin, all helps to lower the viscosity and very helpful when using the Ultra QuickShot / Graco Handheld units 👍 ..you could try a LP 515 or a maximum LP 616 - let me know how you get on, happy to help and advise if I can.. keep in touch.. regards Pete 💙💯
Hi Pete, great video as always 👍 Can I ask, is their a facility now or in the future for the quickshot to be plugged in? Based on how often I would use it (DIY) I'm worried about long term battery storage and dissipation over time, I knew some manufacturers have a battery with a cord offering both options. Keep the videos coming 😎
Ah hello my friend, hope you’re keeping well.. that’s a very good question.. firstly, I can reassure that the 2 DeWALT batteries supplied is sufficient to keep the unit in power.. the charge time is very quick, so fully charges way before the one in use runs out 👍 Plus I very rarely use a full battery to complete a small job, often I have 1 or 2 bars left, which includes the cleanup .. you’re right about some manufacturers / tools where there is some form of ‘mains adaptor’.. I’m not aware of a DeWALT 18v / 20v adapter, certainly not official DeWALT nor ‘Graco approved’.. it’s a nice thought, but perhaps wouldn’t warrant the additional development cost for a ‘cordless unit’.. like I say, the 2 batteries work extremely well 💙⚡️ ..great question, hope I’ve helped my friend.. regards Pete
Another great upload. Any ideas of who is stocking the second generation triax pump in the UK. I have an ultra and I want to buy a spare pump. I have contacted Graco Europe and they explained that the old pump and the new one have the same model number but can be differentiated as the Triax 2 has it named on the pump. I’m looking for a stockist, as it stands what I have seen is the old pump in stock only. Regards, Dave
Hi Dave, thank you for your kind support - you raise a very good question regarding the Triax II 🙏 Basically it’s a rolling replacement, a seamless replacement of the original Triax, for the new and improved Triax II - so you may not see Triax II listed (although it is marked on the pump, when you open the box), but if the stock has rolled over, you will be getting the improvement at the same price - I can confirm SpraymanUK stock is now all Triax II - give them a call and speak to Mike, he will confirm this (I’ve spoken to him recently) 👍 any questions or issues, get back to me, I’m happy to help.. regards Pete 💙
Yes, very much so 👍 ..low viscosity clear lacquers is one of my favourites to spray.. sprays beautifully through .008 tips, such as a FFLP 208 / 308 and the new 408 👍 regards Pete
Hey buddy 🙏 ..Yeah a lot of research and development has gone into redeveloping and reengineering the pump ..all from listening to customer feedback - always a pleasure my friend 💙 regards Pete
Hello, as always, good work, but in terms of time, covering the surface with a protective film takes more time than painting. Greetings from Lviv, Ukraine!)
Hello Roman, great to hear from you brother 🇺🇦❤️ - I know what you’re saying. With practice, the masking process is very quick, then spraying is less stress on the body Vs a brush / roller - takes minutes to spray in a ceiling to a finish 👍 ..Take care Roman 🙏 - regards Pete

I appreciate the comprehensive reply! I bought my quick shot and did all the doors, baseboards, trim, windows, garage door, and front porch on a project and it worked flawlessly! I’ve used it on a couple Small projects since and like I Said before I absolutely Love it! I was apprehensive about spending that much on a small sprayer but it more than paid for itself that first job! It was a Great addition to my arsenal of Sprayers.
You’re very welcome - thank you for sharing your experience, I admire your thought process, it sounds like you’ve got a wonderful business 👏👏👏💙 keep in touch buddy - regards Pete 💙
that i have gotten used to, spraying many small ceilings very successfully.. but yeah the Graco Ultra QuickShot is a great lightweight design -- worth the additional investment -- keep in touch, it's great to have your input on the PaintHQ channel.. regards Pete 329 / 5,000 Translation results Translation result Goede vraag, mijn vriend -- Het gewicht van de UltraMax is iets waar ik aan gewend ben geraakt, het spuiten van veel kleine plafonds met veel succes.. maar ja, de Graco Ultra QuickShot is een geweldig lichtgewicht ontwerp -- de extra investering waard -- blijf op de hoogte , het is geweldig om je inbreng op het PaintHQ-kanaal te hebben.. groeten Pete
Do you have any specific techniques to ensure against old paint peeling when masking along the ceiling/cornice edge? I'm experimenting with precautionary treatment of that area with Zinsser's Peel Stop (even if it is not specifically designed with that use in mind). My thinking is that it is wet enough to soak through the old and crappy paint and into the substrate. Not sure if it is doing what I think it will but so far I've not had many peels doing it this way. Yes, I am using Kip's purple tape but finding it prone to releasing grip when wet. Done a couple of KIP's wallpaper masking take as a base with KIP's plastic outdoor tape over it to keep the water out. This seems to keep the purple tape in place. Having said that, I'm wondering if Kleenedge would work out cheaper for these situations. It it fairly gentle but because it is thicker, it doesn't allow water to damage the adhesive too much. It does loose some grip but still not enough to fully drop off (like KIP's Wallpaper tape does).

Ah hello my friend, hope you’re keeping well.. that’s a very good question.. firstly, I can reassure that the 2 DeWALT batteries supplied is sufficient to keep the unit in power.. the charge time is very quick, so fully charges way before the one in use runs out 👍 Plus I very rarely use a full battery to complete a small job, often I have 1 or 2 bars left, which includes the cleanup .. you’re right about some manufacturers / tools where there is some form of ‘mains adaptor’.. I’m not aware of a DeWALT 18v / 20v adapter, certainly not official DeWALT nor ‘Graco approved’.. it’s a nice thought, but perhaps wouldn’t warrant the additional development cost for a ‘cordless unit’.. like I say, the 2 batteries work extremely well 💙⚡️ ..great question, hope I’ve helped my friend.. regards Pete
You are a great painter
You’re so kind 🙏
Another great upload. Any ideas of who is stocking the second generation triax pump in the UK. I have an ultra and I want to buy a spare pump. I have contacted Graco Europe and they explained that the old pump and the new one have the same model number but can be differentiated as the Triax 2 has it named on the pump. I’m looking for a stockist, as it stands what I have seen is the old pump in stock only. Regards, Dave
Hi Dave, thank you for your kind support - you raise a very good question regarding the Triax II 🙏 Basically it’s a rolling replacement, a seamless replacement of the original Triax, for the new and improved Triax II - so you may not see Triax II listed (although it is marked on the pump, when you open the box), but if the stock has rolled over, you will be getting the improvement at the same price - I can confirm SpraymanUK stock is now all Triax II - give them a call and speak to Mike, he will confirm this (I’ve spoken to him recently) 👍 any questions or issues, get back to me, I’m happy to help.. regards Pete 💙
@@PaintHQ that is brilliant Pete, thanks so much for that info
Can you use stain and clear waterproof sealants ?
Yes, very much so 👍 ..low viscosity clear lacquers is one of my favourites to spray.. sprays beautifully through .008 tips, such as a FFLP 208 / 308 and the new 408 👍 regards Pete
Pete, any specific reason of using Johnstones acrylic matt here over other brands?
hi pete
hope your well looks like the quickshot pump pretty reliable ?
Hey buddy 🙏 ..Yeah a lot of research and development has gone into redeveloping and reengineering the pump ..all from listening to customer feedback - always a pleasure my friend 💙 regards Pete
great work but i think on a job like that the spraying is slower
Thanks for your input my friend.. very much appreciated.. keep in touch, regards Pete 🙏
Hello, as always, good work, but in terms of time, covering the surface with a protective film takes more time than painting. Greetings from Lviv, Ukraine!)
Hello Roman, great to hear from you brother 🇺🇦❤️ - I know what you’re saying. With practice, the masking process is very quick, then spraying is less stress on the body Vs a brush / roller - takes minutes to spray in a ceiling to a finish 👍 ..Take care Roman 🙏 - regards Pete
I Love my quick shot but I tried a 10” extension and I got all kinds of spits. Any idea why that would be or what I can do to correct it Thanks, Randy
Great to get your feedback buddy 🙏 without an extension the UQS virtually eliminates spits, thanks to its electronic trigger and much quicker needle / cleanshot open and close - then adding any extension, like all airless guns, there is a chance of spitting due to paint in the 10” extension that’s at a lower pressure when triggering off m Vs the paint that’s held back by the gun / needle - so a spit is paint that’s not fully atomised - spits in emulsion are not so problematic, in that you may not see them (on a textured ceiling for example), or you can trigger on and off on masking, not the project - spits in trim / woodwork are not forgiving, therefore I’d avoid using an extension - so with the UQS improved trigger response the performance is improved but can still be evident when using an extension - if needing to use an extension and you can’t manage spits, a cleanshot valve at the tip guard is the only way - this gives protection past the 10” extension, but sadly would add a little weight to the gun - hope this helps - regards Pete
I appreciate the comprehensive reply! I bought my quick shot and did all the doors, baseboards, trim, windows, garage door, and front porch on a project and it worked flawlessly! I’ve used it on a couple
Small projects since and like I
Said before I absolutely Love it! I was apprehensive about spending that much on a small sprayer but it more than paid for itself that first job! It was a Great addition to my arsenal of Sprayers.
You’re very welcome - thank you for sharing your experience, I admire your thought process, it sounds like you’ve got a wonderful business 👏👏👏💙 keep in touch buddy - regards Pete 💙

Goede vraag, mijn vriend -- Het gewicht van de UltraMax is iets waar ik aan gewend ben geraakt, het spuiten van veel kleine plafonds met veel succes.. maar ja, de Graco Ultra QuickShot is een geweldig lichtgewicht ontwerp -- de extra investering waard -- blijf op de hoogte , het is geweldig om je inbreng op het PaintHQ-kanaal te hebben.. groeten Pete

Do you have any specific techniques to ensure against old paint peeling when masking along the ceiling/cornice edge? I'm experimenting with precautionary treatment of that area with Zinsser's Peel Stop (even if it is not specifically designed with that use in mind). My thinking is that it is wet enough to soak through the old and crappy paint and into the substrate. Not sure if it is doing what I think it will but so far I've not had many peels doing it this way. Yes, I am using Kip's purple tape but finding it prone to releasing grip when wet. Done a couple of KIP's wallpaper masking take as a base with KIP's plastic outdoor tape over it to keep the water out. This seems to keep the purple tape in place. Having said that, I'm wondering if Kleenedge would work out cheaper for these situations. It it fairly gentle but because it is thicker, it doesn't allow water to damage the adhesive too much. It does loose some grip but still not enough to fully drop off (like KIP's Wallpaper tape does).
