This sounds interesting. Hmmm. Maybe this would solve the build up problem on the old Graco FinishPro 395? The problem I was told "no one else has" yet version two addressed....

I put a ca tech flat tip aaa gun on mine. Solved the problem, but flat tips are hard to clean if they get clogged. I had those metal cleaning needles snap off in a few tips.

One of my local stores had a few 310 fflp tips in stock today. I guess they are a replacement for the old FF tips, so as stores order new in, they will be the FFLP tips.

I bought a gx19 and will put the 310fflp in it this coming week to test out.

Trying to see if I want to go back to airless in the shop. Getting sick of all the hoses and cords. Plus the gx19 will be on a counter out of the way.

I am hopeful that will be true. If so, should make it nicer to try and do smaller items such as trim. However, I don't think it's going to make a huge difference in terms of paint usage; still going to take near to an entire gallon to charge up the unit and hose.

One reason I am trying a gx19 is with the hopper, 3/16th 25' hose, hopefully less paint waste.

CabinetCoat is being sprayed right now at 1200 psi with a 310 fflp tip. Gx19 sprayed. Usually cabinet coat is about midway up on a 395.

It is slower, but I am intentionally spraying on almost the lowest setting. No fingers on the spray pattern.

Atomization seems good so far. I think I am putting it on a bit thinner than normal. I should break out a mil gauge and see how wet of a coat I am laying down.

The gx19 has a fluid pressure gauge so you can see the pressure. It is like an air compressor gauge.

I have been spraying using painters pyramids on pieces of plywood to keep over spray contained more (the stuff the goes past the sides of the doors). I get a little bounce back on the back of the doors around the pyramids with airless or HVLP. I am hoping that this may not bounce back as much.

Note: I mentioned that it seems to spray a bit slower, but that is probably mainly because I am using them on a gx19 instead of a 395.

I paid $42.75.

I found them from a paint store 45 minutes away for $36.99. On Amazon of all places. Free shipping so ordered from amazon.

I went with a 518 this time. Curious how that would work for priming drywall. Might make the 395 better for drywall priming on smaller jobs since my big old airlessco needs a new prime valve and has been sitting idle for a few years now. I don't really want to fire up the old sprayer for a basement prime job.
