Ratings & Reviews for Graco Magnum 257025 Project Painter Plus Handheld Paint Sprayer for DIY Projects

Excellent sprayer performance!

WOW! This was my second time using any type of sprayer. The first was a Wagner, used years ago. The experience was so poor, I swore off the idea. That was until I decided to paint my exposed basement ceiling, joists, duct work, plumbing, wiring, etc. A job like that can't be done (done well) without a sprayer. After extensive research, I settled on the Magnum Project Painter Plus. Setup and us of this spray could not be easier or more intuitive. After spraying 9 gallons, my project turn...

New machine

Took right out of box and put machine to work. No issues

Great for big jobs

I used this for a bathroom door. I finished painting in 25 minutes ( it did a great job!!) however …. it took more than 40 mins to clean. Long story short, great for big jobs….

Awsome

Excellent painter. Painted fence with it. No issues

Seems good

I only used it once so far. My first experience with a sprayer so I can’t provide an experienced view… It generates a good spray pattern and the instructions are very user friendly for a beginner. Set up and cleanup seem to waste a great deal of stain/paint… this may be true of most or all sprayers. Next time I use it, I will assure I have time to complete the entire job in one effort so as to minimize those start and end of job losses as compared to the stain/paint actually applied. The adver...

Magnum Project Painter Plus

First time using this type of sprayer and found it easy to use. I would recommend keeping an eye on your paint level, so your will not need to re-prime the pump. Make sure you have the correct spray nozzle you need I used a lot of paint using the spray nozzle that came with the sprayer. It comes with a 10 inch spray and I needed a 4 inch. That first number on spray nozzle is a 5 (times 2=10 inch). Clean up is also very easy.

Great Sprayer !!!

We bought the Spayer 2 weeks ago. We hope to use it this weekend to paint our new barn !!!

Great Sprayer easy to use

I bought the Graco as I am a retired NACE coating inspector and all the shop I visted used Graco paint sprayer. So I had my first project painting the ceiling and walls in a garage. Let me tell you after watching the videos I was able to use the sprayer with no problems. Biggest thing is make sure you spend the extra time to clean all the lines. Pump and tips and nozzles. I recommend this sprayer to and one who is just starting out spray painting. Next project will be painting the whole exte...

Machine Great, Hose.. not so much

Overall I think the sprayer itself is great, but the reason for 3 stars is simple the hose. Very rigid and kept trying to loop back onto itself making sparring difficult at times. As well as have to be extra mindful of the hose when in hallways. Literally one simple moment and the hose looped up onto it self rubbing up and against freshly painted wall. Again the machine is great, but for Pete's sake do something about the hose design.

Great Value!

Recently purchased this sprayer after doing some research to paint my kitchen cabinets and vanities. This was my first attempt at spray painting other than with a can. Instructions were easy to follow, the initial setup and prep were all straightforward. First attempt to use was spraying an Extreme Bond primer which was too thick and would not do anything beyond the priming process. It would not spray at all. Determined the material was too thick so I ended up rolling on the primer. First a...

Cool

Easy to work with. Instructions are simple. Wishe it came with other size spray tips. Comes with a 10in spray tip. Size 3 or 4 is beneficial to be included in package. Easy to clean. Easy to understand. Become a pro after a few hours if you follow instructions.

Project Painter Plus Works Great - Easy Cleanup

I bought the Magnum Project Painter Plus airless sprayer in May and finally got around to spraying my fence after 3 days of sanding (sanding was the worst part). The fence is over 20 years old and needed an update. I painted and sprayed with my Dad's company in the 1970's and setup and cleaning of an airless was much more involved in those days. This model has some automated setups and cleaning that makes it much easier. It's reasonably easy to figure out but you do have to read the instruct...

Worked great. Saved a lot of time painting 300+feet of fence. Paid for itself with one job.

Very easy to prime and clean. I used a 50' hose, didn't see any difference in it and the shorter hose it came with. Light and easy to move around.

Awesome little sprayer

Great little sprayer Sprayed ceiling in horse barn Spayed 17 gallons so far and no issues

Easy to set up, easy to use

I really like the sprayer. Easy to set up, easy to use. I would love an option for a shorter hose for smaller jobs and less paint waste.

Highly recommend

I bought this product to stain our fence. It was exactly as promised, incredibly easy to use, and was not messy and hard to clean as the older paint sprayers. I highly recommend this productr.

Very pleased in Bonney Lake, WA

Very pleased. The “water-proof” instructions are very specific and thorough, thank you! Initial use is for applying stain on fence, works flawlessly!

Great Airless Sprayer.

We are very happy with our Graco Airless Sprayer.We applied 2 coats of sashco capture log stain and 1 coat of cascade semi gloss clear. The sprayer worked beautifully. Clean up is very easy. Would highly recommend.

Great finish on Cabinets

First use right out of the box went well. I painted kitchen cabinets I just built and the finish was perfect. I was using Sherwin Williams Emerald Trim enamel with a 311 tip. One note: make sure you tighten the spray tip well. Don't ask me how I know ;-)
