Magnum Project Painter Plus

Works great, cleanup easy and overspray minimal. Spray pattern perfect and pressure. Used it painting the outside of my well house, workshop and garden shed with solid color stain. When it clogged followed directions and cleared it quickly. Easy to use and I used 1 gal cans. Next project is inside my house.

Love this sprayer. Great value, easy to use and clean.

Worked way better than I expected. Cleaning not too bad.

Over the break I decided to paint the kitchen cabinets white. This is my first time doing this kind of work, so I had a lot to learn. Started off with the wrong paint and primer, resulting in orange peel that wasn't terrible ... but not the finish that I wanted. Finally got the right paint and primer, and the result was much better, but still had some orange peel albeit very small. Finally I opted to buy an airless paint sprayer. I watched a lot of videos online comparing the Graco handhelds to this one, and what drove me towards this one was that the handheld versions appeared to have a pulse to their spray. That looked like it would add complexity that I didn't want to deal with. I've now gotten two coats on the backs of the cabinet drawers and doors, and this works very quickly. So much faster than painting by hand! Results look good, though I had to dial the pressure up a bit until I was happy with it. Got a few drips on the first doors I painted. Few things to be aware of: - After priming the sprayer, it took a minute to realize that the pump only runs briefly when you're spraying - The sprayer hose is incredibly stiff and a little frustrating to deal with - I bought an FFLP310 (fine finish tip) from Graco and found that it needs a different base after I received it -- contacted Graco and the sales rep is helping, which I appreciate! But it feels like there's room to improve the design of the sprayer - As I painted, I accidentally pulled the suction hose up out of the paint, causing the pump to run continuously. Putting the end back into the paint didn't resolve the issue and the pump continued for minutes, even after I turned it off. Eventually I ran through the priming steps again and was able to resume painting Overall, using this is resulting in the finish that I wanted on my cabinets. For as many Youtube videos as I saw showing how you could achieve a really good finish with rollers and paint brushes, I just wasn't getting there. That said, this does feel a little bit like overkill for just repainting a single kitchen worth of cabinets.

I made a little cart for this using some scrap wood and a mover's dolly that we already had. It holds the machine, a 2-gallon bucket of paint, and some tools and rags. Cut a hole in the top of your two-gallon bucket to slip the suction hose in so you don't have an open-top paint bucket sloshing around. Be sure to use the suction-hose filter. The machine is easy to use if you carefully read the extensive instructions several times beforehand. The extra set of paint-proof, water-proof laminated instructions is very nice. Then, fill up a bucket with clean water, and practice spraying with that. Get used to operating the power switch, priming it, PRESSURE RELIEF, locking the gun, and spraying with the water first. This will really help you to get more comfortable with the upcoming paint job, and you won't be fumbling around for the instructions. The little attachment on the end of the drain tube didn't make any sense - I removed mine. I sprayed 200 feet of five-foot-high concrete wall in two hours. It makes very little noise. It only runs when you are spraying. The spring in the gun handle is not overly stiff, and the gun itself operates very smoothly. They say you don't need to thin the paint, but the Behr Ultra Premium Exterior paint I used was so thick that it was close to a gel. I went ahead and thinned it with about 4-5 oz of filtered water per gallon of paint (they recommended a max of 8 oz per gallon). This made the paint a lot less like gel and much more like paint. Cleanup is made much easier by the fact you can use an included accessory to hook your garden hose into the suction tube and just let the water run through to flush it out. There is a small bottle of Pump Armor preservative included. One part of the directions say to dump the Pump Armor straight in the suction tube, but you will waste a lot this way. Instead, remove the suction tube and use the bottle of preservative and the included short vinyl tube to force the preservative up into the pump (instructions wrapped around the bottle). The negative things are the stiff hose, and the fact that the supplied gun does not have a swivel. No swivel between the gun and the stiff hose means you are constantly fighting with the hose a little. You can get pretty close to the coverage stated on the paint can with this thing. I figured I was getting 300 square feet per gallon, but I was painting very coarse pitted concrete, so painting a normal smooth wall should give you the full coverage of 400 square feet. I started off with the pressure set to full blast -- that was not necessary. Setting the pressure half to two-thirds of the way up used less paint, and produced less over-spray. The supplied tip is a 515, which is the biggest size you are supposed to use with this sprayer. It gives a fan that is 10-12" wide. The last amazing thing was that I didn't get any paint on me, my glasses, my shoes...anything! Cannot speak to reliability, but I cleaned the machine as well as I could and we will see what happens the next time I fire it up. Update 09-08-2023: Have now used it for three jobs without problems.

Great sprayer this my second one first one was burn in fire didn’t think twice of getting another one.

This is a VERY good machine I used it to paint the exterior of our 1700 foot home.easy to use even for a 1st timer like me Works like a $2000 contractors machine ,just not really made for a professional painter but for a DIY person it's perfect .Many tips available for various spray jobs. excellent product ..stan a

Excelente herramienta. Necesario usar overol tipo Tyvek y gafas para evitar salpicaduras. El rendimiento de la pintura es excelente (mayor a lo indicado por el fabricante) si se limpia y sella bien la pared.
