- Graco‘s latest airless paint sprayer unboxing and instructional video. How to setup the Graco Ultra QuickShot and a demonstration of how fast Ultra QuickShot cleaning is.
Graco Ultra QuickShot setup, demo and review. This new cordless paint sprayer is the most portable airless paint sprayer ever, it boasts the lightest airless spray gun, with the lightest trigger response of any airless spraying gun on the market.
As a humble Paint Contractor / Painter and Decorator, this is an honest review and instructional video. I was privileged to field test the prototype, so I can vouch for the research and development that has gone into producing this innovative cordless airless paint sprayer 💙⚡️

The more I see this thing... The more I want it!! The cool factor is off the charts! Even tho I already have a bunch of sprayers lol. I must have it! 👍
Haha, you won’t regret the investment my brother 💙👏👏👏
Are they on sale in the uk yet🤞🏻
Yes 👍 ..Please contact my friends at SpraymanUK.. link to the Ultra QuickShot and contact details are in the video description 👍 ..feel free to reach out to me if you need my help or advise.. regards Pete 💙
Hi Pete
I wonder if you could help me I am going to be spraying bull’s-eye 123 water base and I was wondering what spray filters would be best to use in a Graco airless paint sprayer many thanks
Steve
Happy to help my friend.. as a guidance, an orifice size of .006 - .012 you would use a 200 mesh (red filter), then .010 - .016, use a 100 mesh (blue filter) - these are Graco guidelines to match the tip orifice opening to the mesh size of the filter - I tend to use the 100 mesh with the primers / topcoats that I’m using.. I’m thinking with 123 you’ll also be be fine with the 100 mesh / blue filter 👍
Is it an Ultra QuickShot that you’ll be running?.. just thinking that the 100 mesh / blue filter is the smallest filter available - again I’ve had success running that setup with minimal - zero blockages 👍
Hope this helps, feel free to reach out again if you need anything else from me - regards Pete 💙
Mines been welded to my hand the last week, small ceilings, doors and woodwork, this little sprayer is so quick to set up that it will pay for itself in no time. Really good video Pete 👍
Ah great feedback, thank you.. you’re very wise my friend 🙏 appreciate the support.. regards Pete
Now this is what you call a proper unboxing and review. Great video.
You’re so kind, thank you very much my friend.. regards Pete 💙
Only a diy sprayer and nearly finished my house renovation but yet really want one😂, thanks for sharing I’ve really appreciated your help along the way 👍
You’re very welcome 🙏 I’m happy to help DIY sprayers as well as professionals, between us we can all share knowledge and help each other 💙 ..hope your house renovation has gone to plan, there’s always a new project to complete 😆 ..keep in touch, regards Pete 💙
Great video! - will re-watch many times, especially when I get mine - Whoop! can't wait!
Thank you so much for watching and your kind feedback - exciting times ahead 💙⚡️
Best video in 'TH-cam land' on the Quickshot, by a country mile. Always super informative. I really doubt that Graco themselves could do anything nearly as good. Cheers Mike
Hey Mike, appreciate your kind words of support .. thank you my friend 🙏💙💯
Brilliant thanks please 🙏 always continue what you're doing.. helping & guiding BLESSINGS
Hey Beija, thank you my friend.. always a pleasure 🙏 regards Pete 💙
Ahhh, a review I can actually believe. I’m so close to getting one. Just gonna give it a few more weeks of reviews first. Cheers, Pete.
Thank you Freddie, really appreciate that.. exciting times, you won’t be disappointed my friend.. I’m taking mine on a HSL starting tomorrow, I’ll spray the spindles and staircase joinery.. hope you’re keeping well my friend.. regards Pete 💙
@@PaintHQ Nice one Pete. Hopefully you’ll be making a video of that one. Keep well my friend. ✌️
Thank you brother.. I’ll see what I can do 👌😆
Thank you for the video very helpful and very informative..
You’re very welcome, I appreciate your kind feedback - feel free to reach out if I can ever be of any help or assistance - regards Pete
Great review. Have you tried any TriTech fine finish tips? The TriTech's run at higher pressures than the FFLP's. Wonder how they would fare in the QuickShot. This looks like a true game changer for high end cabinet painting when you have that one or two door that need to be re shot for whatever reason and also when you get low on paint. You don't need half a gallon to just prime a normal airless with 50 ft of hose for a few doors.
Well, you just made me spend $1250. Great video. I can't wait to get mine up and running.
Ah great news my friend, you won’t regret the investment.. keep in touch, it’ll be great to get your feedback.. thanks for watching the video.. regards Pete 💙
Nicely put together brother Pete. Thank you.
My wife hates you now ha ha.
Haha my brother.. really appreciate your feedback.. hope you’re keeping well 💙
Picked 13:36 this unit up s few weeks ago.
It really is a nice unit that does safe a good bit of time. The price is a bit over the top but it really is a game changer..
Great news 💙 I would love to hear about your experiences, keep in touch my friend.. regards Pete
Great review 👍
Thank you so much 🙏💙💯
Nice, what about the over spray? And how many times you refill the cup? Thanks
Hi Pete, looks amazing and much simpler to use than the Ultra.
If you get fed up with it I can give it a good home!
Best wishes, Rob
Hey Rob, always a pleasure to get your feedback.. you’re at the top of my list my friend 😆 I very much have appreciated all your input and support 🙏 regards Pete

Well that answered that question you can put the 10 inch extension on the gun cuz I hate bending over and needing a step stool to get up a little bit higher. It is a rwally good video..glad i bought it dor anxmas gift for myself..also just boght the titan ED655 Hopper sprayer
El sillon de arriba se pone una vez de sacarle pintura?
Nice video thanks
Thank you my friend 🙏💙💯
Picking one up on monday will be using it to spray 2pack polyurethane the main reason is the short spray line and for cleaning hoping not to chew through a tonne of thinners
Great news, exciting times my friend - you won’t regret your investment, the pump / line / gun holds just 1oz / 30ml of material - I use just small amounts of cleaning material, starting by using an old brush to return the product to the can, then clean the pot, before circulating small amounts in prime and flush through the gun in spray - like I say just very small amounts of cleaner each time 👍 - let me know how you get on and your first impressions, regards Pete
The best thing about the Graco quick shot; jobs completed faster so you can get home ♥️ great video babe 💙
Haha, very true.. I am getting home faster 🎨💨❤️💯
😘
So is it good on a ceiling? I was painting my bedroom and I went only 3 times on the ceiling and stopped spraying, what can I do to troubleshoot
if u use extension does its spit at end? do u need cleanshot ?
I just grabbed the Magnum X5 and a 311 tip to do some cabinets, wish we could post pics here! Turned out great but for smaller jobs and even cabinets next time I need this! Makes much more sense that the single gun with and paint canister hanging on it. So its either this or an HVLP not sure yet.
Holy crap! Just checked price thats a chunk
It's nice. I have one and use it at least twice a week. You have to put alot more water through it to really clean it though. I usually give up and put the pump armour to store...and flush it clean before i add more paint next time.
Thanks my friend for your feedback 💙💯 Regards Pete
Bang tidy brother ✊🏻
Thank you my brother.. I will always remember the support and kindness you’ve shown me 💙💯 ..Speak soon 🙏
I just bought mine today 🍻
Great news my friend 🙏 ..be sure to let me know your thoughts when you start using it 💙 ..regards Pete
Great video pete,i had a feeling when i saw your post yesterday it might be the graco quickshot and was hoping it would be,so is this a game changer in your opinion?it looks terrific and seems to spray ever so well,does it really eliminate spits and did you get any at all?i have the graco ultra max handheld and this looks like a much better option,time will yell how good the pump is on the quickshot,finally pete the spray finsh looks really neat from the quickshot could i use it on kitchen cabinets?thanks for all the effort and time you put in to these videos
Hey Eddie.. thank you so much 🙏 yeah the Ultra QuickShot was born out of customer feedback, people like you and me who have benefited from the HH technology but wanted a lighter gun with more manoeuvrability.. it’s the trigger press that’s a game changer, just like a traditional computer keyboard, the trigger press to release and shutoff paint is so quick and light.. the airless technology is more in line and comparable with bigger hopper feed pumps, Vs the original HH FlexLiner system, it’s a big plus for me who is a fan of a hopper.. being airless, the transfer efficiency will always be the same when high pressure is used to atomise paint.. but the ease of operating the gun, and the delivery speed of the material, ‘it almost seems the efficiency is improved’.. without doubt, using FF LP tips the finish is awesome, certainly can be used to refinish a small run of kitchen doors, or any onsite spraying of small joinery projects.. hope this covers your points and helps my friend, always feel free to reach out.. take care.. Pete 💙
After how many gallons do you have to replace the pump?
My greetings to you.
With the Quick Shot can I work with polyurethane varnish?
And if so, what product can I use for cleaning that does not damage the pump seals.
I appreciate you answering me.
Blessings to you.
👏🏼 great video Pete! Aarrgghh if only if was £300-£400 cheaper I'd have one in my hands right now 😬 I know I keep banging on about it, I'm not afraid to spend money on an investment, but it does feel like they've priced too high, I know all the sales spiel but feels a little greedy to me.. Would've thought they'd sell more by then being slightly lower as so many people complaining about the price... There's no way it should be nearly double the cost of the last handhelds... Anyway, I best stop rambling on, I'd love one & will definitely get something smaller at some stage for the smaller projects. Always work as always buddy 👏🏼
Hey Stuart, it’s always a pleasure to get your feedback 💯 ..I really appreciate you watching the video and supporting the PaintHQ channel.. keep in touch 💙
Well the last part of my comment made no sense... haha.. Great work as always, I think my fingers were meant to type 😂👍🏼
Haha, no worries 😆
Looks easy to set up,what’s over spray like ,not sure if I would use for walls ,ceilings ,but say doors like the 12 new ones I’ve just finished on a job
Apologies for delay, only just saw your question come up on this video - the overspray is the same as any airless unit, you manage it with tip selection, pressure and effective masking - huge advantage of the electronic gun and quick responsive trigger is manoeuvrability to get into tighter areas - that helps manage and direct the overspray 👍 You’re right a small / portable unit like this is perfect for doors and small runs of trim / woodwork 👍
Great question my friend, keep in touch, I’ll always get back to you - regards Pete 💙
Thanks for the video it's going to be a massive help to me. I'm due to buy one this week. Never sprayed before. I've got a job a small shop front with aluminium frames and door. I'm going to use this graco. I'm thinking cause it's decent condition good key up and 2 coats of bedec msp. Have you used this paint with the graco?
Ah exciting my friend.. yes I sprayed Bedec MSP on 2 radiators recently.. sprays very nice through a .010 (I used a 210, you could use a 410).. no thinning, if I recall I was at speed 5 👍
Hi there, I just got this awesome machine and am looking forward to my next job. Would you be able to share with us where you get all the protection sheets you've used for this job? Thank you. Fantastic video!!
Thank you my friend, appreciate you watching and giving your feedback.. I use masking tapes, papers and plastic film by Kip - are you in the UK?. I’m happy to help and point you in the right direction 🙏 regards Pete
Hi Pete.I was wondering ,if you would be able to show the range of different paints(most popular)how much do you dilute them for use in quickshot?Thank you.I'm so glad I came across your channel.Regards
Hi Jakub, thank you for your question and thank you also for watching 🙏 - The Ultra QuickShot in theory doesn’t require thinning, being airless it requires the right LP tip and pressure selection.. I say in theory because all airless units can benefit from an easing of the material to lower the pressure and atomise the paint better - Woodwork / trim paints, I don’t thin at all, I like to spray low viscosity paints (free flowing, spray only) that spray beautifully with FF LP .008 tips - emulsions / latex paints for walls and ceilings, I will ease the flow with 10% water and spray with a FF LP 514 / LP 515 -
It’s a very good question, I will look to demonstrate this in future videos 👍 Check out this YT Short, showing how good the UQS is at spraying staircase joinery
th-cam.com/users/shortswYFHyMyzMho?feature=share
Keep in touch my friend, happy to help and advise any way I can - regards Pete 💙
@@PaintHQ Hi Pete.Thank you very much for your full explanation.I'm proud owner of the quickshot as well and I wanted to prolong the life of the sprayer by using it in appropriate way and also advice from professional people like yourself is priceles for me.Thank you.
You’re very welcome - great news on your Ultra QuickShot investment - it’ll be great to hear about your experiences using the unit and like I say I’m happy to help any way I can - Keep in touch 💙
I do not like where the pressure dial is. Sometimes when I change hands my hand will change the setting. Not a big problem. Just have to be aware.
You’re right, I often catch the dial unaware and the speed has changed.. My feedback is the dial could be on the main unit, or the dial needs a ‘click feel’ when operating ..Regards Pete 💙💯
Thanks for the excellently detailed video. I was wondering if this unit allows for a pump replacement as seen with their other handheld airless battery operated sprayers?
Thank you for your kind words of support.. yes I can confirm the pump is ‘ProConnect’, meaning the end-user is able to complete the swap out.. 5 screws and a couple of electrical connects for the gun and earth and it’s done 👍 ..keep in touch my friend.. regards Pete
@@PaintHQ thanks so much for getting back to me. Now I’ll just need to find a supplier and get my hands on one of those. 👍👍👍
@schreiber6220 You’re very welcome.. keep in touch, be sure to let me know how you get on 🙏 Regards Pete
Bonjour ça coûte combien svp et c'est où pour le commander merci
Hello , video is super 💣, by the way which one could you recommend ? Quick shot or 390 classic ? For not big areas ? (Standard room in private houses )
Hello my friend.. the QuickShot is great for small projects - small runs of internal joinery, a door or two, feature wall, small ceiling.. completing average rooms in private / occupied houses - a 390 is certainly up to the task, also a GX unit.. perhaps a GXFF Cordless (I’m a fan).. it’s like the ‘big brother’ to the Ultra QuickShot 👍 regards Pete 💙💯
I got mine last week , think i'll get the extension as i'll be mainly using it to spray coving and being a bit of a short arse it'll save me stretching too much 😁
Ah great news.. keep in touch, it’ll be great to hear about your success stories 😆 ..regards Pete 💙
@@PaintHQ Quick question , if i need to to top up the cup before it's run dry can i just carry on spraying once i've filled it up or do you have to prime it every time you top it up ? New to spraying so a bit green 🤢
You’re very welcome to ask questions on any topic anytime 👍 ..short answer is, you’ll be able to carry on spraying (no need to switch to prime) 👍 ..then if the pump ran dry, it’s good practice to switch to prime, fill the cup, prime over a ‘waste bucket’, switch to spray and again just spray over a ‘waste bucket’ just for a few seconds.. then you’re good to go - I say good practice, because let’s say the cup has emptied, and spraying has interrupted, staying in ‘spray’, pouring in the paint - I’d be pretty sure you’d be able to carry on spraying with no detriment spraying whatsoever.. because the unit will be pressurised still 👍 ..In fact, because of the small / hopper feed design - in spray, paint is delivering to the spray tip very quickly.. but if the unit wasn’t up to the desired pressure, the first few seconds the material isn’t quite atomising fully.. if you was spraying trim, you’d notice .. that’s why, ‘text book’ it’s better to spray into a waste bucket first.. hope that makes sense, I apologise for the essay 😆
Let me know how you get on.. it really is a great unit.. super quick to get setup spraying and clean up 💙
All the best my friend.. Pete
@@PaintHQ Really appreciate you clearing that up for me , thanks 👍
You’re very welcome 🙏
Hi Pete. Greag video.. thank you! Wondered if you could help clarify a question ive been struggling to get answered. It states in a lot of places that this is for small jobs. Im a cabinet maker and might paint a media unit or wardrobe on average once a month. Usually run about 10 to 12 litres of paint in total for a project in a 2 or 3 day period, so the gun time is quite a lot in a short period of time but then might not be used for another month or 2. Would something like that classify as a 'small' job (im wondering if what theyre saying is basically dont try and 3 coat emulsion a whole 5 bed house with this) or would running 10 or 12 litres over 16 working hours classify as a 'big' job for this too? Dont want to srop 1200 quid and nacker the pump in 2 jobs. Or is this really just for the odd room of skirting and architrave and bits and pieces type machine? Thanks mate. Elliott
Apologies for the delayed response Elliot.. your logic is spot on.. Graco is classifying small jobs with the UQS.. up to 3 gallons.. which is actually a healthy amount.. I personally wouldn’t market this to those as a ‘main airless unit’, more to compliment its bigger counterparts.. however I am hearing people like yourself m, using the UQS in a way you describe.. if so, I can vouch that the pump will last, but like all moving parts would wear and deteriorate.. it would be sensible to factor those costs in, knowing the pump will eventually need replacing.. but by that point, I’m confident the unit will be made money many many times over 👍💙 regards Pete
Thanks so much for your reply Pete. Got our local Graco rep hopefully getting us a demo model to have a look at utand play with as I'm pretty sure we'll end up biting the bullet. All the best mate
Hi Pete, looks like a great unit, a bit pricey for a diy-er over here in Oz $2145. How much in the u.k ?
Another great video, with speaking part 🤪. Cheers Paul in Oz
Hey Paul, my apologies my friend for a delayed reply.. it must be the time difference 🇦🇺😀
I hear what you’re saying.. the feedback I’m getting has been incredible, where the investment is paying for itself.. in the UK, you’re looking at around £980 (excl VAT / Tax)
It’s always a pleasure to hear from you, hope you’re keeping well Paul ..keep in touch 🇦🇺💙
Regards Pete
do you have to use a paint strainer for those tips? mine keep blocking
Apologies for my delayed reply my friend.. I tend to use the Trimaco paint strainer bags - you can wash them out easily and reuse (if using WB paints).. Or fruit / veg bags, readily available in UK supermarkets (fruit and veg isle) in Aldi, Lidl, Asda 👍 However, paint quality and ‘sprayability’ of paint plays a big part - heavy / course pigments can cause smaller orifice tips to block 👍 Hope this helps 🙏 Keep in touch.. regards Pete
Hello there Peter. I really enjoyed the video as I'm looking to purchase one of these sometime next week. In Australia they retail for $1900.00. For my painting business i like to use an oil base undercoat followed by two coats of oil base over the top when painting trim. Have you sprayed any type of oil based paints with this machine? And if so how was the finish?
Hello my friend 🇦🇺💙 - I do hear that oil based solutions are popular in Australia - I’ve not sprayed oil / solvent, neatest has been an alkyd, so a hybrid but still a water clean up - however being airless and knowing how good the UQS atomises material, I’m confident saying you would be able to spray oil based no problem, and the finish would be awesome as you would hope 👍 - just change out the seal in the Graco RAC X guard for the yellow one, and I believe the yellow ‘ring’ that’s visible in the cleanshot (where the tip guard threads in to), is there for the spraying of oil / solvents - plus there’s the earth strap to attach to the UQS and earth to a suitable outlet, this is to give static / spark protection, that otherwise could result in an explosion hazard - hope this helps, if you’re thinking of investing, go for it you won’t be disappointed 🙏 keep in touch - regards Pete 💙
@PaintHQ Hello Peter. Thank you so much for the response. Very much appreciated. Kind regards- Nick
You’re very welcome Nick, anytime 🙏
Looks a great unit Pete, do you know anywhere that will trade in my Handheld Ultra!!!! Not sure I'll get away with having 3 sprayers. All the best
Hey Steve, great to hear from you, hope you’re keeping well my friend 🙏 haha, I’m not aware of any trade in options 😄 ..all I can say is go for it buddy, you won’t regret the investment 👏👏👏 ..All the best Steve, and keep in touch, it’s always a pleasure to get your input.. regards Pete 💙
Nice, so many questions, how long will the pump / packing last? As most other handheld don't last very long, the cost of the machine? Many thanks
Hey buddy, so many variables affect the life expectancy of any pump. Essentially it’s moving parts, then considering factors such as speed (pressure), viscosity, quality of the material, cleaning.. it’s impossible to give a definitive answer.. what I can say, the Ultra QuickShot has a re-engineered pump Vs the original HH’s.. and this improved TRIAX II technology is now in the HH’s too, so an improvement all round.. Plus, I can vouch there’s been extensive testing with excellent feedback.. hope this helps 🙏 If I can help with anything else, feel free to reach out ..regards Pete
Pete do you think the pump is less prone to failure like the other hand helds. Great vid by the way
Thank you for watching, appreciate your kind feedback.. and thank you for your question my friend 🙏 yes I can confirm the pump in the Ultra QuickShot has been re-engineered for improved performance and ultimately a longer life.. during my testing of the prototype last year, I got to see a very small part of Graco striving to innovate and improve its technology, always listening to customer feedback.. if you have any more questions, feel free to reach out to me and I’ll do my best to help 💙 ..regards Pete
@@PaintHQ do they give any guide on how long it may last? 👍🏼
Hi Stuart, it’s kind of impossible to give a definitive answer.. with numerous variables ..materials, viscosity, speed (pressure), cleaning.. like the moving parts of any pump, there is always friction and wear.. what I can say, the Ultra QuickShot has been extensively tested with excellent feedback.. hope you’re keeping well buddy 🙏 regards Pete
Just used one for the first time this weekend and I'm not seeing why the cost is so high its good for what its meant for but ive literally seen 3 people received a brand new machine and have to send it back for replacement. Again I'm not seeing why its so expensive id pick a bigger pump that can spray anything without dying batteries and constant cup refills anyday.
Hi Pete. You are doing fantastic job here. My best compliments👊
Debating with my self between GXFF and UQS. DIY only. Need to start repainting hose, step by step.
Can you push UQS let's say +_13m² room x3 coats, ceiling x2-3 coats next day. Once in a couple weeks or a month... Something like 6-7 rooms. When house is done, it should be good for few years and Sprayer mostly will be used for small furniture projects and so on. UQS looks so sexy, it would be so much easier and more pleasurable to use for later small projects.
Or should I better look at GXFF?
Thanks in advance for your opinion 👍🏻
Minda.
Hi Minda, thank you so much for the kind feedback.. I’m a huge fan of the UQS, but I’d rule that out as an option for a full renovation / spraying large areas / bigger projects ..You’re right to look at the GXFF, then if funds stretch I’d go for the GXFF Cordless.. especially as it comes with the Contractor Compact PC gun, probably my favourite mechanical airless gun 💙 ..happy to help and advise any way I can.. keep in touch.. regards Pete
Ps.. If I recall, someone else (@6629Mark) commenting on this video is looking at a complete renovation as a DIYer too and is steering towards the GXFF Cordless 😄👍 ..Could be helpful to check out the thread 🙏
Yeah... true. Quickshot is going to be a hassle for me. Just imaging to constantly to keep an eye on the cup, not to run out dry. Battery capacity, is another one charged already or not ... Agree, I'm better with FF.
Regarding GXFF Cordless ? Some ozzies are saying it is pulsing quite more than corded. I mean - cycles between low-high psi when running. Not constant, pulsating supply? Have you noticed that? Isn't it getting in the way while spraying.
Thanks buddy. Really appreciate for your help 🙏
That’s a good question my friend.. the GX models being a single stroke piston, pulsing is noticeable in the ‘feel’, although I’m not aware pulsing is any worse being cordless 🤔 ..What I can say, any pulsing is not transferred / detrimental to the sprayed finish and I can confirm that with all the GX models.. here’s my video on the GXFF Cordless..

Would you still recommend the ultra handheld now that this model came out or spend the extra money and buy the quick shot
Apologies for my delayed reply my friend, it’s a good question - in short, yes I would spend the extra and invest in the Ultra QuickShot - the lighter, more manoeuvrable, quick response trigger is worth the extra, coupled with quick setup and quicker cleanup - the pump / hose / gun holding just 30ml of paint makes material changes super quick - it’s s joy to use 💙 The Ultra and UltraMax HH’s still have a place, and it’s a great move by Graco to include the improved Triax II pump and funnel / strainer / seal lube - all very nice additions - the cordless range is great, I can’t deny I’ve been a champion of the technology for sometime 💙 Keep in touch, I will always reply and I’m happy to help and advise if I can.. regards Pete
My personal opinion is that it is not for big jobs. Have to add paint too often. I can use a bigger Graco airless with a 5 gallon bucket for those.
For sure 👍 Small jobs, runs of woodwork / trim, a couple of doors, feature wall and small ceilings 💙💯
How many gallons is that pump rated for? That sound reminds me of my cordless handheld graco I have. The pump lasted about 20-25 gallons spraying moldings and shutters. Was thinking to replace the pump but got the hopper instead for my 495.
Hi Igor, thanks fir your question and sharing your HH experience.. I can confirm the triple piston pump in the Ultra QuickShot is a re-engineered pump design, improving the pump performance and lifecycle, it’s also worth noting that improved TRIAX II pump technology has also gone into the original HH units (which is now available to purchase as a HH pump replacement) - so an improvement all round to life expectancy.. I know what you’re saying, the sound is the same, it’s a triple piston 👍 .. good call getting a hopper for your 495, I too prefer a hopper feed pump 👍 ..all the best buddy.. regards Pete
@@PaintHQ Can't find TRIAX II pump in UK. But if $$$ price is to go by then it will cost 2x as much and last 3x times as much.
Hi Dmitriy.. I’m going to speak to SpraymanUK to get clarification on stock in the UK.. I know the improved pump has been a rolling replacement, meaning the Triax II has replaced the pump in the HH’s for a little while now, even before any marketing / advertising.. it’s been a seamless transition 💙 ..For example this was one of the first videos I made featuring the improved Triax II pump, last year..

The UltraMax HH has been a great addition to my airless sprayers, making completing smaller airless spray jobs easier 💙
Great to get your input my friend, hope you’re keeping well.. regards Pete 🙏
Can’t beat a paint brush and roller. Seems alot of hassle. Loads over spray. Each to there own
Thanks for your feedback my friend ..regards Pete 🙏💙💯
Hi, quick question. Can you spray oilbased gloss on to your doors with this machine without any runs or sags? Or the airless pressure even at the lowest possible is too much for spraying oil based? Thank you
Hello my friend, good question - yes you certainly can spray oil based products - it the tip selection that you need to get right to avoid a heavy coat and the potential to get runs - depending on the viscosity / thickness of the paint, you most likely would need a .010 such as a 310 / or 410 (a 410 cones with the unit) - it’s the .010 part that dictates the flow (not the pressure), the pressure is mostly for atomising the paint, and has little effect in the flow - so a .010 has less flow than a .017 but not as low as a .008 - but a .008 would be too small for s thicker oil based paint - then the fan width distributes the paint across the width - so a 410 would have a much even distribution Vs a 210, but both have the same flow / let out the same volume of paint - hope this makes sense, just remember the pressure isn’t what reduces the flow 👍 regards Pete
@@PaintHQHi Pete, so if I understood that correctly, 410 and 210 will push same amount of paint but 410 will lay it down over a wider area, meaning there will be less paint in 410 fan pattern comparing to 210 fan?
@samsonacc8081 yes my friend, you’ve got it 👍🙏
Wow
Would you advise this for a first time user as I’d like to get into spraying ? Thanks 🙏
Hello my friend.. that’s a very good question - in the past I wouldn’t advocate getting into spraying using the likes of handheld units - however the hopper design of the Ultra QuickShot, priming / circulating paint before switching to spray is the fundamentals of setting up any airless pump 👍 ..So yes, I could make that recommendation - but only if you’re looking to spray small projects.. small ceilings, feature walls, doors, a staircase and small runs of internal joinery 👍 ..Always have in mind the size of projects you’re looking to spray 👍 ..great question, happy to help any way if I can.. regards Pete
Thalami very much mate 🙏
@BazGravett anytime 💙💯
I want it! So what would consider a small job? Lol i feel like i can paint my entire kitchen cabinets with that
Good question buddy.. yes it can certainly handle kitchen cabinet spraying.. especially getting into the tight spots..
Graco say projects up to 3 gallons, which is a healthy sized job.. 1 battery fully charged sprays 1 gallon (you get 2 batteries).. my small jobs, I tend to use less than 1 battery.. mostly 1 cup of paint or a couple of refills 👍
I say hi for it, you won’t regret the investment.. keep in touch, it’s great to get your input on the PaintHQ channel.. plus I’m happy to help and advise if I can.. regards Pete 💙
@@PaintHQ thank you!
Can you paint your whole house with this. Probably alot of top ups but is it doable?
Good question.. the UQS has a big appeal because it’s simplicity to use, but it is a small project sprayer.. a whole house project would suit something a bit bigger, a GXFF (GX19) for example, it is a conventional airless sprayer with a bigger hopper - kind of like a ‘big brother’ to the QuickShot 👍 Then if you’re looking to spray houses all day everyday as a business, I’d look bigger still, such as a mid-size airless pump.. Hope this helps, keep in touch.. regards Pete 💙💯
Would this spray two pack clear varnish
Yes my friend, it can spray 1K and 2K waterborne and solvent 👍 Regards Pete
Do you have to thin down waterbased paints like undercoats or can they spray neat?
Thank fir your question.. neat my friend.. with right tip selection I spray all WB trim / woodwork paints without thinning 👍 ..Regards Pete
@@PaintHQ thanks for the reply mate. I currently use titan 440i to spray trim on new builds unsure whether or not to take the plunge on this. The portability is a big win
@00starkey Very nice my friend.. for small runs, spraying small amounts of material.. it’s such a great compliment to the bigger pumps 💯 ..I’m also hearing all positive feedback from those who have invested.. I can vouch the same, you won’t regret it 🙏💙
Will it hold up to painting a steel shed roof
Yes, just depending on thickness of coating (max tip size is .016”) and size of roof 🙏
Hi Pete… do you get any spits using the extension??
Hi John, in theory any gun extension where you’re putting a distance between needle shutoff and the airless spray tip, which will result in a pressure drop, in turn will cause a spit as you trigger off.. however a small 10” / 25cm extension has pretty much performed well for me regardless the gun.. I wouldn’t risk it with trim, but mist coat like in the video, where I can also trigger off the wall.. didn’t cause me any problems 😆.. thanks for your question my friend 💙 regards Pete
Thanks so much Pete. Really appreciate your response and the time you take to make these videos. Been looking to take the plunge into spraying as a DIY’er and think this is the machine that will suit my needs.
You’re very welcome John.. I’m happy to help and advise any way I can on your spraying journey ..keep in touch my friend 🙏
This would be great if I can use it to paint a steel roof. I could just walk on roof without having drag a long hose up to roof and bracing a paint spray on a roof to paint
That does sound like a good application, thanks for sharing your thoughts my friend 🙏 . Just consider the max tip size is .016 (such as a 616) ..so the thickness of the coating is a thought.. and then the size of the job.. it’s a unit ideal for small projects - if I recall, Graco say jobs up to 3 gallon.. which sounds quite healthy for a small project sprayer.. all the best my friend.. regards Pete 💙💯
What's the small tip size this machine takes
Very good question my friend.. Graco state a 0.008 👍 ..In my videos you will see I’ve had success with the new Graco FFLP 0.006 - especially the FFLP 106 for spraying staircase spindles 👍 - just have to be aware, I’m spraying low viscosity materials and there’s a sweet spot to set the pressure.. you need a little extra for a 0.006 tip, but not TOO MUCH that the prime valve could open.. happy to help further if I can 👍 regards Pete
Hi. Can i use oil based paint in this too? If not. What kind would you recommend?
Hello my friend.. yes it’s perfectly fine to spray oil / solvent based paints too 👍
What about staining for woodworking
Yes the UQS can spray stains.. Typically stains are very low viscosity, so a .008” tip is good, something a bit wider though to avoid a heavy coat - I like a FFLP 308 or 408 ..Just check the product data sheet as to the product ‘sprayability’ ..regards Pete

👍🙏💙💯
Hi. Can this unit be powered with higher capacity batteries than 2 Ah ?
Good question.. yes I can confirm, just like all DEWALT battery powered tools, you can use higher Ah batteries for a longer runtime.. even a DEWALT FLEXVOLT battery will down grade it’s voltage from 54v to 18v ..but I have to say the included 2x 18v (20v in North America) 2 Ah batteries is more than sufficient.. one battery will charge in plenty of time before the battery in use runs out.. I can even vouch that 1 battery alone has completed all jobs I’ve thrown at it, and that includes the cleanup 👍 ..if you’re thinking of investing, don’t hesitate 💙💯- hope this helps my friend.. keep in touch, regards Pete
@@PaintHQ Thank you so much for your reply and professional explanation. Much appreciated for tech details. I had some doubts regarding potential purchase but after your review is my next buy!
I’m so pleased I was able to help.. feel free to reach out if I can be of any further assistance.. I’ll always get back to you 🙏 regards Pete
Can I use lacquer paint?
Yes you can my friend.. the Ultra QuickShot can spray waterborne or solvent lacquers and stains 👍
Great machine, too expensive but the bigger shame is it didn't have to be.
From what I gather, and I'd love to be corrected but you can't buy this machine bare (i.e. without the batteries)> I fell Graco missed a trick here as I'm sure there are many tradesmen like me who have numerous dewalt batteries and would be loathed to have to pay for more in buying this machine, pity.
It's $1749.00 at Sherwin Williams..... Not gonna ever buy one at that price. Maybe $499.00 but not a dime more
Thanks for your feedback, great to get your insight 🇺🇸💙💯 Regards Pete
So expansive who would spent that much for that shit almost $2000 dollars
Can you use auto paint with this?
As it's an airless gun, I wouldn't recommend using this for auto body parts. Hvlp for that
I have a feeling that the pump design is wrong for waist usage. It sticks out too much and really looks like a tabletop device. If they wanted portability and maneuverability then they have really failed on the second point.
Hi Dmitriy, I’m glad you’ve raised this point, because this was my first thoughts in testing and something I included in my feedback.. Now after using the Ultra QuickShot on many smaller jobs, in conjunction with the belt and holster.. I actually prefer it 😀 ..It perhaps takes a little while to get used to it, and a position that’s more comfortable to you.. for example, you can position the UQS further round your back and / or wrap the hose round the back of your body.. the freedom to have a hand free is very useful.. positioning masking, quick wipe over the project, holding the hose like a whip.. even going up a ladder.. it’s now become very comfortable and natural to me 😄
Great feedback my friend, always a pleasure to hear from you 💙 regards Pete
Hi Pete...
Great review, I'm looking at getting my first sprayer. Basically I've got a house to renovate, 3 floors.....question is, would this be suitable as a bit of a jack of all trades as such, do ceilings, walls and woodwork? especially spindles on stair cases? plenty of skirting and door frames too...and the 106 best tip for the spindles?
Asking as I was advised to go with something like Magnum Graco A30 proplus for walls and ceilings and Wagner 5500 for the woodwork and spindles......Im a pretty accomplished DIY painter but looking to upscale and save plenty of time, lol
Thanks, Mark 👍
Pete.....after speaking with the lady at Sprayman, im thinking its either this Ultra Quick shot or the sprayman GX21FF....Think Mike is calling me Monday, but would love your feedback too.......will have some MDF panelling to spray too along with all wood work in a 3 story house with all spindles on stair case.......several ceilings and a few feature walls........will be spread over roughly 6 months as we are living in the house too whilst renovating.....Cheers 👍
Hi Mark, my apologies for the delayed response, I will always get back to you.. the UQS is awesome and a great compliment to its bigger counterpart units - however, I wouldn’t use for bigger projects (like you’re thinking, a house renovation).. I’d also rule out the Wagner XVLP - I’ve got nothing against the unit, it can spray a fine finish, but it can be a pain to get the settings right, along with the paint viscosity ..you can’t beat airless spraying for getting up and running very easily with the right tip selection / pressure setting ..plus the fine finish at low pressure you can achieve with Graco FFLP is incredible .. on that note, an FFLP 106 is a great choice for spindles, only if you’re spraying (very) low viscosity products - these are spray only, and not products that can be brushed / rolled - a 208 could work, otherwise a 210 / 310 (a 210, you may need to move pretty quick).. my recommendation, would be a GX sprayer - a GXFF, or a GX21 (with a hopper, the SpraymanUK GX21FF is very good / best of both worlds airless sprayer) - if budget can stretch, the GXFF Cordless would be very nice to spray your renovation project - I’m a fan of the smaller 7.5m 3/16” hose, and it comes with the Contractor Compact gun.. it would be an awesome setup to spray staircase joinery, very portable to move around and is very capable of spraying emulsions / walls / ceiling.. so to sum up, I would rule out the UQS, then seriously look at the GX units - GX21 / GX21FF / GXFF / GXFF Cordless 💙 ..Mike at SpraymanUK is awesome, he will give friendly, expert advice.. say hello to him for me 😄 - keep in touch my friend, I’m always happy to help and will always get back to you.. regards Pete
Hi Mark, sorry about my delay - I’ve added a reply below my friend 💙
Pete,
Thanks for that, had my eye on the cordless one, did think that would be suite more to my needs to be fair. Also was looking at that haftprimer to go over the stain on the staircase, would this cover the woodwork after a clean and sand? Then 1 or 2 topcoats of Valspar? Handles I’m striping back and lacquering 🤞👍
Hi Mark, I wasn’t sure what products you was looking to spray and I didn’t necessarily want to influence your choice.. I do rate haftprimer, but it might be worth checking these out.. plus I believe will be more cost effective
I use a lot of the products below for day to day internal woodwork, then WP198 on anything that needs ‘stain blocking’ .. they are low viscosity, waterborne industrial 1K products.. spray very easily, no thinning at very low pressure ..being low viscosity, I use .008 tips.. so a 208 / 308... Also the new Graco FF LP 106 is awesome on spindles (I know this tip caught your eye).. I’ve got some short form footage on my Instagram “paint_hq“ using a 106 👍
instagram.com/reel/CsYVQfjoXdy/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==
Here’s the products -
AkzoNobel WP198
holmanpaints.co.uk/exterior-wood/286-sikkens-rubbol-wp198-high-build-stain-blocking-primer.html
it’s actually a Sikkens product (exterior), has great stain / tannin blocking properties.. takes a little longer to dry Vs WP136 which is my go to high build primer for white woods / pine / mdf - excellent on mdf with its edge sealing properties..
WP136 Water Based Primer / Edge Sealer
holmanpaints.co.uk/interior-wood/171-akzo-nobel-WP136-highbuild-waterbased-primer-edge-sealer.html
For the satin topcoat.. AkzoNobel Aqualit (Supercryl) Waterborne Enamel Topcoat
holmanpaints.co.uk/interior-wood/169-akzo-nobel-aqualit-waterborne-enamel-topcoat.html
You get a beautiful cabinet like satin finish ..and very cost effective, especially in 5 litre cans..
Comes in white, then if needing tinting both primer and top coat can be colour matched off any colour chart..
I’ve used Holmans for years, the Holmans team are all super helpful..
Can be delivered next day if required.. If this helps at all, Holmans have a 5% discount code, across all their range, if you place your order online..

Sir,can't i got this product.i realy need it.i come from east java,indonesia.
Hi pete watch all your videos as real want to get into spraying top class work bro, but the thing is i want to get this spray but just got a few things on my head, if i had a new extension to spray eg new plaster and skirting would u firstly sprày the mist coat tàpe the skirting, then retape the wall to spray the skirting but if the customer wants oil based duluk satin or gloss can u run it through the sprayer and cleaning would u use white sprite .and same with bin primer or would u not recommend it through the machine , or just stick to waterbased paint and does it not matter if u had new plaster and sprayed the skirting with water based paint and not tapeing above the skirting to protect wall as its new plaster hope under stand what i mean keep the videos coming mate many thanks and happy new year
Hello my friend, thank you so much for watching and supporting PaintHQ.. I do get what you’re saying and I’ll try and help best I can.. typically the order to spray is woodwork/trim, walls and ceiling last.. then a ‘text book’ answer to mist coating fresh/new plaster, would be first, before everything.. but to do that I would roughly run a 4” crepe tape over the tip of the skirting to keep the mist coat off the woodwork/joinery.. or run a 6” paper 👍 then proceed to spray woodwork, walls, ceiling.. now if you’re spraying a WB / acrylic woodwork/trim paint, like I often choose to do - you could get away with spraying woodwork first (before mist coat), then mask woodwork cut line and spray your mist coat 👍 the acrylic products I use on woodwork (in my opinion) have no detriment to the mist coat and/or acrylic / vinyl emulsions (latex).. if I feel
It’s needed I sometimes scuff up with a light abrasive the overspray on the walls, before going on with emulsion ..(I think that answers one of your questions).. then regarding oil / solvent based products in the sprayer - that is absolutely fine, just clean / flush through with appropriate solvent clear (such as white spirit.. methylated spirits / denatured alcohol if using BIN or a shellac).. if using a solvent / oil based product - I would definitely mist coat first as above (protect joinery) ..I personally would discuss with client the advantages of using s WB product though - quicker drying times, less smell / certainly no long lasting smell, non-yellowing.. WB products have come on a long way 👍 hope this helps my friend, wishing you all the best on your spraying journey.. keep in touch, would love to hear your experience.. regards Pete 💙💯
Top man Pete that is so helpful information plz keep the videos coming all the best bro
Thank you brother 🙏 ..Will do 💙💯
Now this is what you call a proper unboxing and review. Great video.
Thank you kindly 🙏 regards Pete
