Graco TrueCoat 360 VS, great sprayer, easy to use!
Would RecommendI bought the Truecoat 360 VS TrueAirless Paint Sprayer on 11/20/2025 to touchup and repaint some kitchen cabinet doors and drawer fronts I made for my sisters' kitchen. I originally painted the cabinet drawer fronts and doors with my Graco Magnum X7 TrueAirless Paint Spayer and noticed some defects after the paint was applied and decided to touchup and repaint some of them after doing some trimming and modifications and did not feel like buying another two or five gallons of paint and break out ...

Best purchase I've made all year
Would RecommendI have had a Graco Magnum XR7 for years. I picked up a SureCoat 360 Variable speed to see how it would handle spraying Sherwin Williams Emerald Enamel on smaller jobs. Boy was I surprised. This little gun handled the jobs with perfection. The variable speed helps control the gun for different viscosities with accuracy.

Small size with great results
Would RecommendThis is my first handheld airless sprayer. Easy to use with fast cleaning. Sprayed a gallon of latex exterior paint refilling the sprayer 4 times. Easier than pulling out the full size sprayer for a gallon of paint. Spray results were great.

Great quality sprayer
Would RecommendI purchased the paint sprayer a few weeks ago and I actually love the way it works.

Awful and heavy
Would Not RecommendUsed once! It’s awful! Too much overspray, it’s like painting with a cinder block in your hand it’s so heavy, very difficult to clean, not good for painting indoors at all! I wish I would have never bought it! Awful product!

Not as precise control over spray quality
I already own a Graco X5 that completed two outbuildings with impressive results. I thought the project painter would be better for small jobs - indoors - like one room. I tried the Project Painter on my deck first, with stain, and the result was not impressive even on the highest "speed", the pressure/dispersion is nowhere near as fine or precise as the X5, and I'm glad I was outdoors, on a deck, when It didn't matter as much as it would if it were my bedroom - - - so I guess I'll drag the X5 i...

Hello Joseph25, We are sorry to hear about your experience with TrueCoat 360 Variable Speed. Some deck coatings can be too thick for the TrueCoat 360 ...
Used it on outside shed for first time. There is a learning curve. I found that if I thin the paint it performs better. Have another outside job to practice on then I will be ready for some furniture jobs. Happy so far

Sprayer
After my initial use, I found the product easy to use. In the beginning, however, the entire process of setting up the sprayer with the stain followed by the clean-up was a little cumbersome. Nevertheless, I soon figured it out and it works great!

Sprays paint very well paint capacity is low and cleanup isn’t fun but overall performance is very good

Buyer beware
Would Not RecommendNot good where a quality finish is desired, doors,cabs,etc. would be good for a fence or patio furniture or something. It pulsates too much and the finish isn’t even and smooth.

Pain to clean up oil-based stain
Would Not RecommendI purchased this for paint and stain. Application was ok but cleanup after using an oil-based stain was a nightmare. The instructions said to use soap and water. Duh! I knew better. The amount of small crevices on the body of the gun and small parts made this cleanup a nightmare. The stain could not be completely removed from strainer used to fill the gun. The stem cannot be removed from the strainer so I’ll need to buy a new part or risk flecks of brown stain making it into future paint project...

85 year old shingle siding made great.
Would RecommendWe bought this to help my son and daughter inlaw to paint their 85 year old home exterior. I used it first to test the setup and was pleased with the results. We left it with them to continued the painting. We were tickeled to hear our daughter inlaw described how amazing it was to use! She could not stop smiling especially after several days of painting by brush. Nice to bring joy into others lives! Productive and quality results from novice users.

I bought even though I am DIY person because of reviews and the name. I have only used it once since I bought it, but I can say I was happy with the results.

East to use. Clean up is horrible.
Not bad. Clean up sucks. Very messy to work with. Lots of wasted paint.

A little dissapointed
I have owned and used Graco sprayers in a painting and contracting business. I know their products to work well and last. While I have a new large airless sprayer, I bought this unit to spray smaller areas. There are a few necessary tasks that must be performed prior to spraying but once you've done it a couple of times it is second nature. I sprayed one door, and it applied the paint evenly and the finish was factory beautiful. Sadly though, that was the good news. The bad news is a few mi...

Works good
I just recently purchased this and I have only used it once to paint a cabinet that I built. It did a good job. It’s a lot easier and quicker than using my big airless sprayer

It works ok and can be a bit finicky. Cleaning and ensuring it remains unclogged is a chore.

Professional Results
Would RecommendThis is a great product. I used it to paint my kitchen cabinets and the results are near perfect. Having the right paint helps but application is just as important. Only downside side is like all airless sprayers it goes though a lot of paint so have a lot on hand.
