just got to use my new graco 395 air assited and wow what i nice sprayer for trim and doors
the amount of paint used compared to just using my 695 is about 4-5 gallons difference
definatly worth the money (if you dont have something similar already)

glad to hear a good review, just picked up one but my spraytech guy was gone so I am waiting for him to come out to show me how to use it but I already have a job lined up that I want to use it for, I am excited.

4-5 gallons difference over how large of a home? Are you still getting the manufacturer's recommend mils of film thickness?

 

[larryt]

only advise (and from graco rep also)is to buy a second air cap i found i had to stop and give it a quick clean every hour or so and put it in water if stopping for break
other than that it will take time to find the settings to your style and the product but ya awsome machine

6000sq home (lots of wainscotting and custom trim and crown )and ya covering nice
biggest thing is the lack of overspray i kinda thought the graco rep was full of bs when he said painters he talked to said "a job that took 7-8 gallons with just airless was now taking 3-4 gallons with air assisted"
on a spec home prolly save 1-2 gallons but hey $60 here and there adds up

I can email you the manual, that helps some, but the best thing is to play. It's a pretty easy machine to use.

Here is a link to the manual.

That's good to hear, Larry. I've been eyeing that machine for a while. My main question has to do with thinning the product . . . Do you need to thin at all? If so, how much?

You don't need to, but we add 8oz of floetrol to a gallon of Muralo (preferred trim paint) so we can turn the pressure down. Sometimes we also add water if using a really small tip (.010).

I used one of these rigs recently and loved it. I think it will be my next pump purchase. Any more opinions about the FinishPro 390 or 395? Is the 95 any better than the 90 in terms of residential?

 

[bikerboy]

Think the main difference is that the 395 has a digital readout.

Titan now has a version of it.
