Graco really are leading the way in spray technology Pete that set up is absolutely perfect for woodwork I'm glad it's not just me who cleans everything to within an inch of it's life my mates say I've got OCD obviously looking at your video I haven't or maybe we both have 😂😂 thanks for sharing your experience and knowledge Pete greatly appreciated 👍
Nicely put John, you’re right - breakthrough technology by Graco.. Very well suited to spraying woodwork / fine finishes 👏 Haha I have the potential to be OCD.. Normally my Ultra QuickShot would get a ‘detail clean’ before filming, but I get asked “how I keep it so clean”, so I deliberately left it looking well used ..because it is 😄 Always a pleasure my friend, I appreciate the support - all the best.. regards Pete 💙💯
Another great video buddy the technological advances in such a short space of time are most impressive no spits used to be a dream now it’s a reality 👍🏻
Nicely put my friend 👍 some clever Graco engineering has gone into pairing electronic gun technology with XT and also any airless sprayer 💙💯 Speak soon 🙏 Regards Pete
The initial spray looks very different. For professionals, this system looks fantastic. Looking forward to the other new, non-XT gun. I'm a DIY painter, have to see how it works an functionality. Thanks again, great video. 🖌️
@@PaintHQ yes sir i appreciate you am good at the plaster work but we do have as that much work in owr country you know anyone can send me a work file to come over there
Hey James, always a pleasure my friend 🙏 Hope you’re keeping well and continuing to have spraying success 💯 Yeah the XT technology is certainly a feat of engineering 👏👏👏💙💯 Regards Pete
Thank you so much, appreciate your feedback.. You’re investing wisely my friend 💯 XT technology and PowerShot XT is a break through combination 💙💯 be sure to keep in touch and let me know how you’re getting on.. Regards Pete
Hi Pete. Hope your well mate and brilliant videos as always. Just bought the 495XT and the Power Shot XT. With reference the Bluetooth connection I couldn’t see the additional screen that you added in video. Can you advise as you always do, where to purchase one from. Thanks again and keep up the brilliant work that you do mate
Hi Mike, first of all great news on your investment my friend 💙 The 495 XT requires the SmartDisplay XT module.. it comes in the bundle - Contractor PowerShot XT with display (UK) Part Number 18H315. Now the module can be purchased separately (if I’m right the part number is 20B432).. it would be more cost effective to purchase the bundle (with display).. I’m wondering if you could question this with your distributor 🤔 can I ask where you made your purchase? Please keep in touch, I’ll help you all I can 💙💯 exciting times my friend ..regards Pete
@@PaintHQ Hi Pete. Thanks for your prompt reply mate. I got it from Spray Direct. I’ve got all my 5 sprayers from them. When I spoke to them on Friday they said it was only the 695 that came with the Bluetooth ?? I’ll have to ring them tomorrow to see what they say 👍👍🙏🙏
I got 10% off the as it’s Black Friday so it was a good saving. I’ll ring them tomorrow and ask if they do the bundle. My 695’has the Bluetooth on which is brilliant and I thought the Xt would of had it on too mate
Hi Mike, you’re very welcome.. I can understand the ‘confusion’ - basically it’s the ProContractor models that come with SmartDisplay XT.. this is a link to the Europe / EMEA pages, showing the PowerShot XT With Display (the bundle that I’m referring to) www.graco.com/gb/en/contractor/product/18h314-contractor-powershot-xt-display.html ..Let me know how you get on with Spray Direct, like I say I can understand it’s maybe a little confusing.. You have quite a collection my friend, I’m quite envious 😄💙💯 Regards Pete
I have a question that only works for new 395 that have a computer dial my rig doesn't have that so is just a gun attachment for fine finishes or what is the battery pack just for cordless products
If I’m understanding correct.. the model featured in this video is for connectivity to a compatible Ultra XT or Mark XT (ProContractor).. There is a PowerShot Standard that can connect to ANY airless paint sprayer, and just like the model in this video, you can benefit from electronic gun technology (powered by DeWALT).. for a virtually spit free airless spraying experience, hugely soft trigger pull for all day spraying comfort (off one battery) 👍 hope this helps my friend.. regards Pete 💙💯
Pete, can't help but to feel that this is more of a very niche product. Surely the extra cost layout must to for such super fine spitless control would only interest extra heavy users with tons of jobs that would require THAT level of precision. The drawback of still having a trailing hose and every chance of dragging it across a finished surface must not be forgotten. Hmm... If this was given to me for next to nothing or free - YES, but buying it - not sure at all. Guys & gals, your thoughts please?
Hello my friend.. it’s a product born out of Ultra QuickShot positive customer feedback. Now any airless paint sprayer can benefit from attaching an electronic gun - a GXFF for example, imagine a smaller hose setup, or even the Cordless model.. you’ve got yourself an Ultra QuickShot ‘big brother’ 💙⚡️ ..Trailing hoses and airless hose management is something all sprayers need to manage effectively.. everyone has a preference, I for example prefer smaller 3/16” lines with 1/8” whip hose.. Same as airless guns, pumps and a setup that suits the individual application - lots of choice in the Contractor PC gun range.. Next generation is the PowerShot 💙⚡️ Appreciate your input my friend, hope you’re keeping well.. regards Pete
@@PaintHQ Yeah, would have been great if they have now worked on a new gun valve design that offers a "click" release/close mechanism that eliminates hand uncertainty. By opening or closing in milliseconds it would eliminate any unwanted spitting. Such gun would not require batteries or any special features on the pump. But hey, I'm not a Graco engineer...
Hey buddy.. Scuff-X is actually quite thick (thixotropic), but credit to how good the product is, it sprays very easily 👌 I’m ‘late to the party’ using Scuff-X too 😄 I was surprised it went through an FFLP 208 so well at low pressure. Thanks for your feedback my friend 💙💯 regards Pete
I know most of times we get leaks on the Graco blue guards due to the tip seals... however do you ever get leaks because of the oring in the guard?? For years I keep destroying this orings sometimes just by spinning the plastic part of the guard to turn my tip to desired position.. sometimes I get leaks on brand of new guards but funny enough there are no orings on the orange guards.
Hello my friend.. interesting information, thank you for sharing.. I’ve not experienced any leaks as you describe - I’ve used the blue RAC X guards for a long time now, mostly with WB materials, using the ‘standard’ rubber seal and seat that comes with each tip 👍 Also I only tend to spray with LP / FFLP tips - so low pressure spraying.. Are you using the LP (now neon) and green FFLP tips?.. what sort of pressures are you at?.. Check the seat has the smaller orifice Vs the seat that comes with a blue PAA tip 🤔 keep in touch my friend.. regards Pete 💙💯
Hello my friend, the first thing to note AA guns G15 / G40 (Air Assist) by design differs from straight airless. Now the introduction of Graco low pressure airless spray tips - LP and FFLP, in my opinion has bridged the gap 👍 To answer your question - Graco Ultra XT and Mark XT airless paint sprayers maintain an incredibly steady airless pressure, you’re not getting ‘dips’ where atomisation could be effected.. Coupled with Graco Powershot XT electronic guns - the needle response is so quick, you’re virtually eliminating spits and the gun is ‘talking’ to the XT motor to reduce / eliminate the higher pressure ‘paint blast’ that occurs with mechanical airless guns / conventional airless sprayers 👍 So two technologies with distinct advantages to both - now if the two could be combined 🤔🚀💙😄 ..hope this helps a little, happy to help further any way I can.. regards Pete 💙💯
I was fortunate to field test the Graco Ultra XT technology before going into production and now owning a 495 XT.. Without doubt go for the 495 XT - it’s XT motor technology is a feat of engineering,. You get an Endurance Vortex pump, which its rotating piston design facilitates a longer service life.. Plus the pump can be swapped out by yourself (ProConnect).. it’s awesome, the quietest airless unit on the market 👌💙💯 happy to help and advise any way I can.. regards Pete
It’s an all encompassing balance between time / money (and comfort).. The quality of a sprayed finish will always earn more money and more jobs - no spits and heavy blasts of material spoiling a finish will save time and if you’re spraying all day - you’ll spray with less user fatigue, spraying in comfort.. great to hear from you my friend, hope you’re keeping well - appreciate your input.. regards Pete
Sorry to hear that my friend.. have you reached out to a local Graco rep or help via Graco technical support? I can vouch that Graco service is A+ and will want you back up and running asap 💙💯 keep in touch, I’m happy to help any way I can.. regards Pete
