Great/instructive/effective video - thank you!
Terrific comprehensive overview.
I have a Pro x17, I am happy with its performance. Awesome product.
Great video. Very helpful. Thanks!
I just bought one of these to do fences and decks
Very good
I have X7 and using for non water base paint at celing, seeing the presser issue and its showing only 2 layer of paint, What can I do for that
I'm thinking of adding staining fences and decks to my pressure washing business. What's the best sprayer for that.
Can this be used for parking lot paint striping ?
Can the titan 410 be compared to this? Which one is better would you say?
Dear sir,may I know can this device spray asphalt emulsion?
Im trying to paint my whole exterior and interior in my 2 story house will the x7 do the job? I bought it before i watched this and still have it in the box
Can i spray drylock with the X7?
Can it be used for acylic membrane type of material?
Can this be used for epoxy paste
Tip size and hose length is important
Which machine would be best recommended for occasional doors, cabinets, and interior woodwork
Can I spray Kilz High Build primer with the X7?
I gotta say this primer is like pancake batter, so I'm worried it might be too thick for this machine.
Hey I have a graco x17 and i want to spray deck over. It says on the can I can use between a .027 - .035 tip with no filter what would you recommend? A 517? Or just use the tip that the unit came with?
You CANNOT spray deckover....it must be rolled and it has to be with a special nap roller
-Use product when air and surface temperatures are between 50-90˚ F (10-32˚ C).
-Use pressure while rolling and apply a generous, even coat using a 1/2" nap roller.
-For a smoother texture, use a brush or thinner nap roller (i.e. 1/4").
-Maintain a wet edge when applying.
-Avoid painting if humidity is expected to be greater than 80%.
-For vertical surfaces such as railings, use a nylon/polyester brush or roller and apply two thin coats at a spread rate of 400 sq. ft. per gallon.
-For edges, corners and in between wood boards, apply using a nylon/polyester brush.
-Do not use with airless sprayer.
can the x7 handle kilz oil base primer
Hi. I've read that the Prox17 has a part that can be changed so it'll be able to spray solvent based paint? Any knowledge on that? Thanks
there is a "lacquer conversion kit" for the ProX Sprayers.
I'm a DIY homeowner. I have a fence I need to stain, interior rooms I need to paint (4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, and living areas) and other miscellaneous furniture/woodworking projects. Would the X7 suffice or should I go larger?
Thanks for the comment! The X7 would definitely do the job, however for on-going projects and longevity of the sprayer, I would consider the next step up, being the ProX17. The ProXChange pump on the ProX17 can be replaced overtime, whereas the X7 is a tad more difficult to replace. You benefit with the additional hose length (15m on the ProX17 versus 7.5m on the X7), and a better handpiece (SG3 gun with a swivel to the hose on the ProX17, versus the SG2 gun with no swivel on the X7. I hope this helps!
Everything you need to know. "Its amazing!"
Is this or the prox17 alright to use for kitchen cabinets or would you use something completely different??
It’s great for spraying cabinets if you’re not a full time cabinet maker/professional painter. If it’s a project you’re looking to knock over, it’s going to be fantastic. I would definitely recommend using the FFLP tips we provide in the bonus kit - either the FFLP210 or 310, these will atomise a lot better than the included TrueAirless tips to provide a nicer finish. If you’re a full time cabinet maker, I’d recommend looking at our FinishPro HVLP sprayers. I hope this helps!
Hi thank you for the video. I want to start a small business (part time) to paint wood fence and home outdoor/índoor. What model you recomend between X17, X19 or Pro210ES?
For your small buinsess, given you'll be spraying a fair bit longer than most (assuming the longer fences), I would go for the Pro210ES!
What do you mean by longevity? Can I not use this sprayer for years to come? Is it limited to a few jobs?
No, it's NOT limited to a few jobs, keep it maintained and cleaned after each use. It will last for years
Which one it’s the best for high performances? Could you recommend one? Graco sounds sucks for business!
@@AntonioPerez-hv1lp this sprayer should last you quite a bit taking care of it. he said you should spray only about 15 liters daily which is less than 5 gallons a day but we had the project sprayer, spraying ceilings about 10 gallons per job and it lasted about a year before it burned out and that little thing was only ment for small jobs like maybe 2 gallons daily so this one which has a stronger motor should last longer
Can you do a video or a quick explanation of how to apply throat seal liquid in the X7?
Throat seal liquid actually isn't required in the X7! The unique piston pump design has a wiper seal that is prelubricated, and will automatically apply to the piston rod. Pretty nifty for the DIY units - one less thing to worry about!
Hi I was using my unit and I turned the black tip at the end of my sprayer now it won't turn at all and sprayer not spraying what do I do
Release the prime bottom line and put back to spray and will be fine
I need to spray 6 door frames in my house. What is the minimum paint volume pot the x7 can accept. Will it work with a 4 litre paint tin allowing for paint needed to prime the unit?
The minimum that we would recommend is at least 2L - it generally takes 200/300mL to prime the 7.5m hose before spraying. You can definitely use 2L at a time and will be suitable for spraying just your woodwork, definitely recommend!
@@GOIndustrial great thanks for replying guys.
@@Tomkatoz74118 anytime man! Hit us with any questions you have!
I have an X9 cart style and I regret the decision to buy cart style. In and out if buckets becomes so annoying.
Can the magnum x5 handle oil paint for a board fence project?
I have the x5. Used it for 3 years all oil base paint. Just run thinner through it after you are gone painting.
Is it capable of spraying a 620 tip? And how well does it work with FFLP tips.
The X7 has a maximum tip size of 17 thou - so won't handle a 620 tip. It works really well with all tips up to the FFLP616 as the maximum tip size
Does the Grace paint sprayer need to be cleaned while waiting for the first coat of paint to dry.
It doesn't need to be cleaned inbetween coats! If you submerge the handpiece in water, and relieve pressure in the machine, as long as there is no air entering the system, it will be OK to wait until the coat is dried to reapply.
Can you spray masonry and wood paint with these?
Hey Wanye, great question!
This unit has a maximum tip size of 517. You won't have a problem at all with the wood paint because these are typically thinner than standard paint. With your masonry paint however, this might be a bit too thick and I'd recommend checking the TDS of the paint you plan to use - it should have a tip size recommendation on there. As long as its below 517, you should be fine.
Hope this helps! 🙌
May I use this machine to paint my corrugated iron roof?
Yes, as long as you get the right paint
Hi, is the pressure adjustable in the X7?
Yes.
What machine would I need if I wanna spray a roofs and 18 gallons a day?
Hey Ubern,
Spraying a roof is a tricky one because it typically requires a much larger machine to handle the thicker membrane of a roofing paint.
For a one time use something like the Graco 650 would be ideal.
With the amount that you are spraying and with roof painting in mind, I would recommend going with one of the professional units, like the 650.
Hope this helps!
Hi there what kind of paint I can use for example Dulux it is good at all?
Hey! Plenty of great options - Dulux's range of interior and exterior acrylics are great. There's a brand in Australia called Tint, they offer a fantastic range also: tintpaint.com.au
Hey Team, most water based/oil based coatings will be fine to spray with the Graco X7. Just stay away from flammables, membranes and texture coatings - these will not be sprayable through any DIY units.
One question, can you paint with oil and latex based paint with this machine?
Yes u can oil base clean with mineral spirits don’t forget to put conditioner in it to keep seals rubbery
Can you use latex paint?
So if I needed to prime a house for texture, I couldn't spray 20 gallons in one day with this machine?
I'm not the video creator, but I spray 25 gallons+ in one day at least once a month with this same machine. 10 gallons of killz and 15 gallons of exterior paint. after about a year (12 jobs)the pump will go out. I either replace the pump or buy a new unit...
What are different between Graco 390pc and This Machine
Big difference overall. The 390PC has the Endurance Piston Pump, which is a lot larger and longer lasting for trade and contractor applications. The motor is also bigger, which helps deliver higher flow rates, and is suitable for more frequent use.
If you're spraying complete interiors and exteriors a couple of times a week at a minimum, as a contractor or serious hobbyist, the 390PC is the choice over the X7.
The X7 is perfect for the DIYer or renovator painting a few homes a year, or multiple small projects.
Hope that helps!
Can you deliver us in india
Can you replace the fuse in the X7?
Yes you can! Please send us a message if you require a replacement fuse or copy of the manual
Will the x7 do stains say for fence or decks
It absolutely will! No problems at all for the X7.
Which of 2 tubes goes into the paint bucket
Hey Alexander! The main suction tube (thicker in diameter) goes in the paint bucket, and the smaller diameter drain tube goes in the waste pail for priming/flushing. Once the paint has circulated through the pump in the prime position, straight paint will drain out of that tube. You then clip the drain tube against the main suction tube, and both can sit in the main paint bucket! I hope that helps.
I am a trader and I want to purchase this for a new upgrade in painting. The thing that I am concerned about is the pump. Do they sell spare parts?
Spare parts definitely are available for this unit! The entire pump replacement is a bit tricky however. If you're concerned regarding the overall longevity of the unit, please consider the ProX17 or ProX19 as an alternative model, that easily supports the ProXChange replaceable pump!
@@GOIndustrial thank you.
Does limewash work with this?
Hey mate, great question! I haven't heard of anyone doing this application, however, I don't see why you would have a problem!
Can spray concrete texture?
This machine cannot spray cementicious, or textured coatings. I would recommend checking out the Graco FastFinish Pressurised Hopper Gun for these applications!
So after 500 liters its worn out?
500 litres won't wear out this machine - it is an annual guide to give you an idea as to what the sprayer can handle. If you're spraying 500 litres a year, we'd recommend getting some of the valves and components deep cleaned on serviced at these intervals. If you're planning on spraying more than 500 litres per yer, the X7 might be a bit small for your projects, and you should consider the ProX17. I hope this helps!
You said you could spray oil base paint but not flammable liquids. Oil base paint is flammable and the solvent to clean up is definitely flammable. That said, I've been spraying oil based primer all day and cleaning up with acetone. Am I playing with fire?
definitely some double talk there, I believe the unit is designed to spray water based material because it has a brush-electric motor that can cause sparks. I would think that if you kept the spray unit in a separate area while using oil paint it shouldn't`t be an issue.Where an issue could occur would be the unit in an enclosed area that you created excessive over spray of a flammable material and the unit DID spark. 💣🤞you wouldn't`t enjoy that....
I stopped using Acetone to clean my sprayer, it actually ruined the seals. Mineral Spirits is the solvent to use. I sprayed all the eves on my split level home, 1st story and 2nd story. Oil based primer is the way to go if you have old, unpainted wood, BUT, the overspray travels forever! Had my car parked at least 50 feet away on a relatively calm day. Overspray all over my car, and that stuff isn't easy to get off!! Had to mask everything, but water based primer wasn't covering, I tried several. Anyway, it's done now, thanks for the tips. Oh, and spraying outside with oil base and cleaning up with mineral spirits was ok, but then maybe I was just lucky.
@@paulcalif I just retired, I painted for 40 years. I miss oil based primers and interior oil for trim. Yes mineral spirits to clean the airless is better than Acetone, Acetone iv very hot and evaporates quickly. You gotta learn the hard way with oil outside, your right about the travel regarding overspray, I`ve been on jobs where oil primer travel hundreds of feet and attached to vehicles. Glad everything worked out for ya`....
This is a late reply, but a video from Home Depot says to use water based stain or paint
Can I spray good primer
Sure can!
Can I use this sprayer to spray deck over?
You definitely can!
What does he mean by 500L in a year? What happens after 500L?
Good question! Nothing scary or catastrophic happens after the 500L voluem per year - this is purely a guide that Graco has provided as a manufactuer to ensure you're buying the right sprayer for your job. If you're spraying 1,000 - 2,000L a year on average, we'd definitely recommend a bigger sprayer! If you're pumping 800L for the year through the X7, it'll be more than fine, but we recommend staying on-top of cleaning and flushing for preventative maintenance.
Can I use this with water based paver sealer? Lol
FYI, This sprayer expected life is 150 to 200 gallons of paint. Ours just went out and thats from the Graco tech line
Geez that doesn't seem very reasonable. Doubt they would sell many of these if they were upfront about that. Are you able to get repair parts?
@brandonward2619 Yes. They can rebuild them for about $400, so it's not even worth it (new one at HD is $450+/-). I know 150-200 gallond doesn't sound like a lot, but the average home takes about 20 gallons of exterior paint for 1 coat and will last 5 to 10 years. In your life time you might need to use it 5 to 10 times so in that respect, if taken care of properly should last you most of your life. These are by no means meant for a professional painter. We have a Graco 490 pc pro lowboy and it was $1800. This machine will do 400 gallons before needing a rebuild and the pump is around $200.
@@jaxnaturals I appreciate the info, good to know. I think we got this X7 at HD on special for 350. So I suppose that's probably about as good of a value you can get on these sprayers
@brandonward2619 I worked great for us. Never had an issue until the pump went. Would buy it to paint my house if I needed to
My gun is leaking where tip screws on. I have tightened and hand tightened. 😢gun is brand new.
Hi there! It might be that the OneSeal, which is a rubber seal and metal seat, is not in the back of your tip guard correctly. Please watch our video here: th-cam.com/video/2ISXNfUR08g/w-d-xo.htmlsi=NEET9-j18p_34rNz

Hope this helps! 🙌
You mean up to 15 gallons a day. Not liters.
X7 won’t prime.
Toma mí dinero y no digas más
Lasted for 1½ house's then leaked and died.
nothing about maintenance ,,,,lame
Hey Bill! Check out our maintenance video for this sprayer: th-cam.com/video/Vpx23yNIAX4/w-d-xo.html
So the x7 works but the pump isnt changeable so once again American greed proves itself rather then making it so the part can be fixed they make it as a but till it breaks then buy a new one…….. no wonder the US econ sucks
Very good
Latex paint can be used with x7 sprayer?
Surely can!
