Looks great Phil, got the ultramax 3 years ago best thing ever I bought, spray all my doors & woodwork, cabinets etc with it. People moaning about the pumps, never had a problem with mine normally lasts 200litres on each pump change which I can deal with just turn it upside down on a small flow from tap to clean it takes 5mins to do. Motor still fine as well.
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator don't find it too bad, bit awkward when your trying to get in tight spaces.. if the quick shot was available at the time I'd of gone for that instead, looks quality (I spray a lot of Zinsser Allcoat & Scuff X on my interior woodwork). Appreciate the work you put in to your videos & looking forward to seeing you get to 1million subscribers. Had a few jobs recently one was in F&B Dead Flat & also been using the Little Greene intelligent matt was impressed with the quality of their stuff really vivid pigmentation. Worth doing a review one day. All the best mate.
For me personally I can't see the benefits of owning one. Sure it would be a lovely toy to mess about with but the only use I could see this having is spindles. I have the Graco mini contractor gun for my gxff and I find that gets into all the tight spaces I need it to. I generally never catch anything I've just sprayed with the hose because I start furthest away from the unit and work my way back towards it so you aren't going anywhere near wet paint. If it was £500 or £600 then perhaps it would be worth picking one up but it's double that and for touch ups you can get the ultra max for around £700. After all that, it does look a brilliant little sprayer and I'd be interested to know the pump life on them and how easy they are to change. Great review Phil, always appreciated. 👍
Well done Phil, well presented. I can see it would come in handy for smaller jobs and woodwork. I think I would use my bigger unit for ceiling and walls. It ticks the boxes for not trailing hoses and extension leads about catching doors you’ve just sprayed and ease of cleaning. I liked it, nice to dial in and have the control on any overspray also.

well I have seriously considered getting one of these to add to my collection but the price was putting me off at mo. I've already an apollo pro HVLP which works great and also my trusty wagner 119 which I've had for around 9 years and its never failed me brilliant bit of kit and not like the newer cheaper chinese models.. However after doing some research i found some info with regards to the Wagner HEA 150m, yes these are cheap and basic but they do run at lower pressure. Anyway i took a punt on this managed to get a 2nd hand one £100 sold as faulty but was a very simple fix (O ring) and looked like new, anyway i have tried this now on a few scenarios ceilings (great) and woodwork spraying gloss which is what i wanted to test it on and TBH i cant fault it! Does the job and gives a really good finish on parr which my 2 other expensive machines. also to reduce the pressure (well amount of paint coming through) someone suggested simply put some tape around 1/2 the gun filter... well i did and boom really surprised as it made glossing seamless. Cleaning it is a doddle 5 mins effort as it has a hopper. so the moral to all this is , you dont need to spend a fortune to get a good result. Makes my life easier.
Great stuff Phil! I’ve been watching a lot of your vids lately and they’re all really well done. I’m in the states and have been wondering if one of these would be good for my house “re model”, I’m replacing most of the doors and trim. I picked up a 5 stage turbine from Harbor Freight ( not sure if you’re familiar with Harbor Freight there in the UK ) and it’s a great machine but I’ve been struggling with getting the finish out of it that I want with Sherwin Williams Emerald urethane which is a Wb alkyd. I was an auto body painter for 27 years and have multiple high end spray guns but running 150 feet of hose from my garage through the windows is a little bit of a pain😅. I can get great results with conventional hvlp and lvlp spray guns but the overspray is a bit more, the hvlp turbine is a different animal and I love the thought of using less material and having less overspray but …. maybe I need to get a bit more used to it, it’s definitely much slower though but I wouldn’t mind as long as I could get everything glassy smooth. It’s killing me though because I can get outstanding results with a brush and the stuff just looks like glass as long as it’s a straight run of moulding , like chair rail or crown. But when it comes to all the “ins and outs” of jambs I find it impossible to get it all perfect lol. I can’t help but wonder how smooth/silky it would lay out with one of these and a 208-210 or 308-310 tip. These are around $1400 usd here, I’m a little scared to take the chance. I have the Graco True coat DS and don’t like it at all
tnx. the door frames, the trick is not to apply too much at a time, going over the same area, it's when you see people do a frame all in one 'sweep' (bottom, to the top, across the top then down the other side) taht way you're not over loading the area with paint.
I bought one when they first came out in the UK around April / May time , used it a couple of times on some coving and also tried it on some doors . Nice bit of kit but just don't think i'll get much use out of it on the projects i normally do . I do tend to buy stuff on impulse though . I'll hang on to it for a little while to see if i do get a chance to use it more often if not i'll just sell it on. Great little sprayer if you will get much use out of it though👍
That's a good one to get, will do you for ceilings and walls and woodwork. It will go as far as a .19 tip (the gx21 takes a max .21) The quick shot Only goes to a .16
You won't regret it mate. Brilliant sprayer. I recommend the compact contractor gun if you're feeling flush for another couple of hundred quid. Domestically the gxff will do everything you need it to. 👍
@mananddog9884 Good question, I'd decide first if I wanted to go HVLP or airless. If I was going hvlp I'd go for a 5 stage turbine with a pot feed to the gun so you can get into tight areas, if you're going airless I'd still go gxff. If you shell out another £250 odd for a compact contractor gun you won't go wrong. It literally sits in the palm of your hand, so if you can get your hand in there, you'll get the gun in there. The standard hose that comes with gxff should be good enough for that as its quite flexible and thin but you might want to add a whip hose. 👍
Great stuff Phill. Looking to buy one of this. Have you done any videos about Graco tips? Coming from HVLP gun so not really knowledgeable about Graco. I appreciate it
I think I'd rather the gxff cordless with a 7.5 metre hose myself. At least that holds x5 the paint. Been toying with the idea of one for priming on site. Nice for small jobs I suppose, but wouldn't really work for me.
Had an ultra battery one Would not recommend them at all plus pump did not last long These are twice as much a a guess Just use a proper airless Just my opinion
Very impressive but would a GXFF be a better investment Phil ? I’m on a big job until Christmas. Turning dark wood to white in Scuffex. Wish I’d sprayed it now it’s endless ! 😩
I'd say it's an addition to what you have, for smaller projects. Handy to have. the cordless and small unit is handy to have. The GXff is ideal for larger amounts of paint usage. Both work hand in hand when one is better to use than the other. :)
Been hunting on the internet for a decent video regarding the ultra max and the quick shot. Been getting more and more wardrobes to paint recently and this video might have just sealed the deal. Regarding overspray how much are you getting in the air?
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator as you’ve used both can you tell me what one you’d recommend. I’ll still watch the video obviously ha! The size of the gun on the quick shot feels like it might be more suitable for getting into wardrobes…
Hi Phil have you used it to spray Caparol Satin and Scuff X at all? Concerned about drips being left on skirting, doors and especially staircase spindles? What would be your go-to water based satin for this if you had to choose? Cheers Mark
Hi Phil Just done a bit painting. Problem is the smell I think maybe the paint was not at its best. Been a week and it hasn’t gone away Help What do pro guys like yourself do When confronted with this Cheers M
Crown white emulsion And Wilcko satin wood Not new paint been in garage a while . I’ll bin it at the tip. But getting shot of the smell is my main problem Cheers Phil M
@@michaeljoyce9184 great to hear. Get it with a 7.5m hose and the hopper sontiu can easily spray smaller quantities of paint when doing woodwork. Paint smell... Old paint :( Get some plug in room smellies. And open windows to air the room out.
Thx for ur nice video i am furniture maker specially cabinet cupboard and etc i read some comments ans ussaily peoples not happy about price i have my compressor setup with pro gun i am planing the buy this week one of this be honest i have to paint minimum.2 time for sqme coverage i dont know how is fnish look like i nwvee work with airless system what is your recommendation for tips number for cabinet smooth fnish
I think price would be the first big difference, its possible to get an ultra max for around the £700 mark, nearly half the cost of this. I suppose there is more bulk with the ultra so difficult to get into tight spaces and it can get a bit weighty for some people if it's full of paint, also the ultramax can spit a bit so you have to buy the clean shot attachment for it. Be interesting to know the pump life comparison of the two. 👍
@ProfessionalPainterDecorator no with a brush pal. Thanks for the welcome 😊 am in my 4th year hopefully qualified next year. Ps old man I work with has doors looking like glass. 👍
@@Johnnyquid20 paint isn't like it used to be. Glass paint will be oil based gloss. Prep is key, also using an oil based Undercoat, nib down between coats and do a two top coat gloss finish is the secret. Adding some extender oil additive helps too. Don't do it in a cold environment either. We mainly use water based now.
@ProfessionalPainterDecorator Thanks very much for the advice 👍 guy I'm working with noting but oil he doesn't even want us putting a bit of spirits in the paint. He is 70 years old so old school all the way lol 😆 thanks again

It would be good to get a video on some high end finish tips like the ones you just mentioned in this comment. Cheers Phil. @@ProfessionalPainterDecorator
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator I usually air spray bin, a nice light coat and it goes a long way, I find the airless uses a lot more paint, too much in fact and also increases drying times. How does bin aqua compare to the original, have you tried it on oak?? Will it stop bleed through??
@@innerarmour8347try sikkens wd198, I've just discovered it. I spray loads of oak kitchens and also air sprayed bin. After using the sikkens I will never go back to bin. It can be sprayed with airless as it's waterborne and it goes on lovely. You can get 20 litre drums and it works out cheaper than bin. It sands a lot better and you can achieve a far nicer finish. Hope this helps mate. It cover knot bleed and tanin bleed and all other stains I've encountered 👍
@@leothelegend8201 Just had a look at the datasheet and it states 8-10 hrs recoat time, unfortunately that won't work for me. Does it cover bleed through in one coat? I have no issue spraying bin with the cordless gxff airless as it can be grounded. It just uses too much paint compared to air spray. I was trying to figure out if this new unit with the newest technology would spray bin at a lower pressure and not use as much paint. Maybe with a 206 tip. Was thinking of buying one just for bin. It would make things a lot easier.
@@innerarmour8347 I'm my experience it has covered all bleed through in one coat. It also leaves a much nicer surface to paint than bin and fills grain lovely. I didn't realize the recost time was so long, I was sure it was 4 to 6 hours. It's never been a problem for me as I normally coat cabinet doors in my unit in the morning and then spray the trim on site in the afternoon, then repeat the process the following day so I leave 24 hrs between coats. Get a 5 litre tin and see what you think, it has honestly been a game changer for me mate
Wont be no good for oil based satin then on site got no plugs. Only time i would use this is on woodwork on new builds. Do t see the point it really. I just get my tritech out
Was thinking about buying this unit. Just worried it's same shittyquality as ultra handheld graco which lasted fpr few cans of paint. Let us know how it perform after 200 galons of paint. Cheerz mate!
Ideal for furniture spraying... You'll only be using small amounts of paint at a time. A gx19 is the GXff we have here.. with a 7.5m hose you'll need to fill with paint. The ultra quick shot only has a 1.8m hose.
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator had two other Graco hand held sprayers and they didn't last long at all complete waste of money. I also have the Graco 495 and it's brilliant.
What makes this sprayer worth 3x the price of similar units? Does it spray that much better, more convenient, easier to use, faster to spray with? Seems VERY overpriced and I am not seeing how it is any better than the Graco/Dewalt/etc sprayers that are $300 or so with good handles/tips.
There's isn't anything on the market like it. Electronic gun/needle, so auto shut off, no spits, no need for a Clean Shot. Versatile gun to spray in any direction easily. 2000psi. It's not bulky or cumbersome.
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator I have a Fuji minimite 4. I have found it to work very well in painting rooms, doors, cabients, etc. It has finer particles so in a room I run a vac with filter, but otherwise I am not sure I see the difference. They both seem to put good quality paint down fast. I know I can get much finer output than airless, but airless can spray a bit faster I guess. Just trying to argue with myself if this unit would be better to use for all my projects which include rooms, doors, cabinets, etc.. or stick with the minimite 4 and save the money.
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator OK.. let me ask you this.. the Quickshot vs many of the "similar" piston driven options from graco, etc. The size/portability is nice, but the price makes it rough. You can find bucket piston sprayers for $300. Does this one still blow those away, if so why/how? I am not opposed to spending good money on quality tools.. but it seems most of those units dont last long.. so is this unit built like a german tank and going to lost a long time and that is part of why its more expensive as well?
@ProfessionalPainterDecorator didn't realise you was working without juice available mate ,graco 390 cordless with hopper then ,not being arsey mate but had the fine finish cordless gun with pot underneath years ago ,complete waste of time and money , got a bad feeling about that lasting long either ,oh and by the way if tritech ever make a cordless t5 I'm all over it,
@@staffh3815 this isn't like the ultra heavy weight guns like you had.. this set up is so easy to manage. I know you're not being an arse lol I've a few spray set ups .. have you seen my play lists?
@@staffh3815 I wish!! I'm waiting for a call... from anyone willing to sponsor or get me to be an ambassador. Porsche!!! ;) But this way I can still say it as it is and not tell you it's great as as I'm being paid £1k+ a video to say it.
For what it does. You can get the previous model for half the price but this has much better finish. It does cost the same as something like a 390 but its much more convenient to use on smaller jobs like painting front doors sections of trim work ext.
Thought it was Ricky Gervais for a moment 🙂 Great video fella

I think price would be the first big difference, its possible to get an ultra max for around the £700 mark, nearly half the cost of this. I suppose there is more bulk with the ultra so difficult to get into tight spaces and it can get a bit weighty for some people if it's full of paint, also the ultramax can spit a bit so you have to buy the clean shot attachment for it. Be interesting to know the pump life comparison of the two. 👍
Hi mate. Just found you're page. Any videos on getting a really good finish on door frames
Welcome aboard.
You mean spray finish?
@ProfessionalPainterDecorator no with a brush pal. Thanks for the welcome 😊 am in my 4th year hopefully qualified next year. Ps old man I work with has doors looking like glass. 👍
@@Johnnyquid20 paint isn't like it used to be.
Glass paint will be oil based gloss.
Prep is key, also using an oil based Undercoat, nib down between coats and do a two top coat gloss finish is the secret.
Adding some extender oil additive helps too.
Don't do it in a cold environment either.
We mainly use water based now.
@ProfessionalPainterDecorator Thanks very much for the advice 👍 guy I'm working with noting but oil he doesn't even want us putting a bit of spirits in the paint. He is 70 years old so old school all the way lol 😆 thanks again

It would be good to get a video on some high end finish tips like the ones you just mentioned in this comment. Cheers Phil.

Have you sprayed BIN with this unit??
no, but did BIN Aqua through my 495st max II pc pro last week, video out in a few weeks
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator I usually air spray bin, a nice light coat and it goes a long way, I find the airless uses a lot more paint, too much in fact and also increases drying times. How does bin aqua compare to the original, have you tried it on oak?? Will it stop bleed through??
@@innerarmour8347try sikkens wd198, I've just discovered it. I spray loads of oak kitchens and also air sprayed bin. After using the sikkens I will never go back to bin. It can be sprayed with airless as it's waterborne and it goes on lovely. You can get 20 litre drums and it works out cheaper than bin. It sands a lot better and you can achieve a far nicer finish. Hope this helps mate. It cover knot bleed and tanin bleed and all other stains I've encountered 👍
@@leothelegend8201 Just had a look at the datasheet and it states 8-10 hrs recoat time, unfortunately that won't work for me. Does it cover bleed through in one coat? I have no issue spraying bin with the cordless gxff airless as it can be grounded. It just uses too much paint compared to air spray. I was trying to figure out if this new unit with the newest technology would spray bin at a lower pressure and not use as much paint. Maybe with a 206 tip. Was thinking of buying one just for bin. It would make things a lot easier.
@@innerarmour8347 I'm my experience it has covered all bleed through in one coat. It also leaves a much nicer surface to paint than bin and fills grain lovely. I didn't realize the recost time was so long, I was sure it was 4 to 6 hours. It's never been a problem for me as I normally coat cabinet doors in my unit in the morning and then spray the trim on site in the afternoon, then repeat the process the following day so I leave 24 hrs between coats. Get a 5 litre tin and see what you think, it has honestly been a game changer for me mate
Do you know how often you have to replace the pump?
When it stops working.
How many litres do I say it good for in the video... I can't remember
Wont be no good for oil based satin then on site got no plugs. Only time i would use this is on woodwork on new builds. Do t see the point it really. I just get my tritech out
That pump sounds like it’s in pain 🤣
Can’t see it lasting very long just like the ultra
we'll see lol
Was thinking about buying this unit. Just worried it's same shittyquality as ultra handheld graco which lasted fpr few cans of paint.
Let us know how it perform after 200 galons of paint.
Cheerz mate!
that's 1000 ltrs and a lot of top ups of the little pot lol
Agree. I normally don't do extended warranties, but I wish one was available for this unit.
That's my concern as the ultra was wank
Any thoughts on overspray removal ?
Hi. Water based?
Meths.
Apologies, I meant removal of overspray / mist / dust from the air as it's being created if you see what I mean@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator
@@nicw2545 you mean like a air scrubber?
Is that what you use / are they any good ? Or fan and ducting ? or even ... both@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator
yes or similar. Are they effective ?@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator
Could you use this for wardrobe doors? Or would I be better off getting the gx19?
Ideal for furniture spraying... You'll only be using small amounts of paint at a time.
A gx19 is the GXff we have here.. with a 7.5m hose you'll need to fill with paint.
The ultra quick shot only has a 1.8m hose.
@@ProfessionalPainterDecoratorthanks , that’s a good point! Didn’t think about the amount of paint it will take to fill the hose!
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator they sell 10 foot hoses on spray direct mate 25 quid,don't waste your money
@@staffh3815you reckon get the gxff instead?
Hay! Been a while how it going? Did you get your Porsche yet?
well..... not yet lol
Lol maybe this video will go viral and you can get 3 then
@@samrix5793 I only want one.. for now
Can you spray rooms with this?
Have you watched the video yet?
Can you use extension tube swan?
I can't see why not.
The gun doesn't need a clean shot though.
It may spit with a bar on..
the pressure will decrease
I'd buy one for £600. No more than that.
Why's that?
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator had two other Graco hand held sprayers and they didn't last long at all complete waste of money. I also have the Graco 495 and it's brilliant.
@@davidtrowsdale8117 your hand helds... How long ago?
Did you have Mk 1 or Mk 2 models?
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator Graco ultra. Only worked three times then packed in.
@@davidtrowsdale8117 yeah. There's was the original one then they made improvements on the pump (mk2)
What makes this sprayer worth 3x the price of similar units? Does it spray that much better, more convenient, easier to use, faster to spray with? Seems VERY overpriced and I am not seeing how it is any better than the Graco/Dewalt/etc sprayers that are $300 or so with good handles/tips.
There's isn't anything on the market like it.
Electronic gun/needle, so auto shut off, no spits, no need for a Clean Shot.
Versatile gun to spray in any direction easily.
2000psi.
It's not bulky or cumbersome.
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator I have a Fuji minimite 4. I have found it to work very well in painting rooms, doors, cabients, etc. It has finer particles so in a room I run a vac with filter, but otherwise I am not sure I see the difference. They both seem to put good quality paint down fast. I know I can get much finer output than airless, but airless can spray a bit faster I guess. Just trying to argue with myself if this unit would be better to use for all my projects which include rooms, doors, cabinets, etc.. or stick with the minimite 4 and save the money.
@@b3owu1f if that's all you're using it for stick with it.
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator OK.. let me ask you this.. the Quickshot vs many of the "similar" piston driven options from graco, etc. The size/portability is nice, but the price makes it rough. You can find bucket piston sprayers for $300. Does this one still blow those away, if so why/how? I am not opposed to spending good money on quality tools.. but it seems most of those units dont last long.. so is this unit built like a german tank and going to lost a long time and that is part of why its more expensive as well?
@@b3owu1f I think you need to have a demo with one and see what you think
Dude where can I get the Vaseline???
supermarket, chemist, ... it can also be called petrolium jelly.. does the same thing
I paid 950 including vat from KB's I've had mine since June and its still in the box 🤦♂️
Give you £800 lol

Buy a tritech t5 with a hopper with 15 foot hose with with a whip on ,that thing is a toy
Is there a T5 battery operated now then?
@ProfessionalPainterDecorator didn't realise you was working without juice available mate ,graco 390 cordless with hopper then ,not being arsey mate but had the fine finish cordless gun with pot underneath years ago ,complete waste of time and money , got a bad feeling about that lasting long either ,oh and by the way if tritech ever make a cordless t5 I'm all over it,
@@ProfessionalPainterDecorator graco sponsorship?
@@staffh3815 this isn't like the ultra heavy weight guns like you had.. this set up is so easy to manage.
I know you're not being an arse lol
I've a few spray set ups .. have you seen my play lists?
@@staffh3815 I wish!!
I'm waiting for a call... from anyone willing to sponsor or get me to be an ambassador.
Porsche!!! ;)
But this way I can still say it as it is and not tell you it's great as as I'm being paid £1k+ a video
to say it.
Too expensive for me for the size of it
For what it does. You can get the previous model for half the price but this has much better finish. It does cost the same as something like a 390 but its much more convenient to use on smaller jobs like painting front doors sections of trim work ext.
Thanks
Thank you :D
