Graco Handheld HVLP Paint Sprayer

grayco 2900 spraystation

this sprayer looks cheap but works really well you just need to know how to use it and make sure you think it down the paint because if you don't you will have a hard time working with it. this is perfect for small jobs like fence,shade etc.

Bad seals

Product was sold to be compatible with lacquer products. After one use the seals were shot. Have not yet found the replacement seals.

Pleasantly surprised...

I'm not a painter. I don't like to paint. However, I had an outside project that had to be done and I didn't want to hire it out. I was very skeptical when I unpacked the sprayer. It looked pretty cheap. However, after I started using it, I was pleasantly surprised. It worked well and it was obvious to me that it was a well thought out design.

I love it

I purchased this paint sprayer to paint the brick on the outside front of my house. I didn't want to pay a lot of money because I didn't think I would use it for much else I read online reviews and it said this one did a good job. It is amazing 45 minutes from assembly to clean up and put away. I was blown away how great it worked and how easy to was to clean. I read directions and watched the CD but it was so easy to use and did a great job. I have never used a paint sprayed before and was not ...

It really works!

First about me (isn't it always!) I've painted a lot of oil and epoxies with a conventional gun, and do OK with it, but they won't spray latex. My brother has been using HVLP with oils for years, and raves about it, so when I had a latex project (several doors in two different colors) come up that needed sprayed latex, I started looking around for something that would spray it. Thru reviews like these, I found the Graco 2900. I was a total skeptic, even after reading the reviews, how could a $ ...

Junk

Graco used to have a good name but no more. This thing worked OK for 2 hours then quit. I spent an hour trying to get it to work again but no luck. Returned to the store. Will paint by hand!

First HVLP

This was the first HVLP I have purchased and it was money well spent. This sprayer made quick work painting my kitchen cabinets. It cut down on the number or coats I needed and the finish is flawless. I will say that the sprayer overall has a "cheap" feel and appearance. But it's simple design makes it easy to clean. The one negative thing I would have to say is having to thin your paint can be time consuming at first. After doing it a few times though I could nail ithe thickness on the first tr...

Piece of Junk

This product is not worth the effort of taking it out of the box. First issue is that it requires the paint to be thinned so much that you might as well use water. I did one tank as a test and by the time it ran through the viscosity checker it was no longer paint (behr interior paint). Even thinned, the coverage was patchy- went back to a roller which took a fraction of the time. I thoroughly cleaned the unit and tried an experiment of just spraying straight water and even then it spurted and s...

Do not buy. It leaks constantly.

I exchanged this spray station three times because it poured paint from above the trigger upon the second use (first use it worked fine). I cleaned the gun as the instructions specified after each use, I made sure the two internal gaskets and their mating surfaces were spotless and checked for rips in them…finding nothing wrong. I even lubed the gaskets as a last resort before returning the item, to no avail. I tried the extra needle in the box, still leaked all over my hand and my floor. To fi...
