I'm a garco dude as well
Have Sherwin Williams "Pro Buy" next to me. They have the Titan 440i on sale for $699.00, and the Graco "Nova 395" on sale for $999.00. Both are decent machines to start out with. Really depends on how much you plan to spray.
If you are just spraying occasionally, get something like those. If you are spraying a couple of houses a week or commercial work, I am partial to the Speeflo Powrtwin convertibles. Gas when you need it, electric when you have it.

Titan 440 been doing me good. However been lookin' at the Sherwin Williams sprayers for a back up field sprayer.
Get the biggest/practicle pump you can afford. If you buy to small you might be kicking yourself later. I run a couple Graco 695's Tough rigs. Titan's 440 are a great value sprayer, but figuring your rig will be getting years of use/abuse i say go with a 640 or a 740 if titan is your choice. Of course i recommend the 695.
My SW spraytech guy hooked me up with a sweet deal on a graco 490 hi-boy for only $1050, works nice and solid for me. puts out the same GPM and supports same size tips as a 395 but also has smartcontrol 2 (you can hook up the dig. display) and a brushless motor, same price as a 395, keep me in budget and was a bigger pump than I thought I could get. The 640 looks like a sweet pump, and the 440i is probably a lil better entry lvl pump than the 390, $100 cheaper too
thank u guys
are a big help
are a big help
Titan v. Graco
I would highly suggest buying the sprayer that is sold at your nearest store because you will be needing parts and tips. Also look at how well stocked there accessory cabinet is. What sucks is buying something and then needing a part when your out of town or away and not finding what you need.

titan 440i. We average 50 spec homes a year
I have owned a Titan 440i for 3 year just repacked the pump ready for 3 more years. I had to have a new toy for tax rightoff bought a Titan640ix low boy what a great pump also my Graco 5000 works great for blockseal & drywall mud right out of the bucket.
WOW! This sounds like a whole new buisness, drywallers would probably be interested it would save them from having to skim coat. My thought is how does the mud make it through the filter or are you able to remove it?Graco 5000 works great for blockseal & drywall mud right out of the bucket.
The Titan 440i
We do a moderate amount of spraying work. When I first started the company I bought the Graco Magnum RX7. People told me it wouldn't last long. 5 years later it's still running strong. Take care of it and it will last.
Early this summer we figured we would get another sprayer and use the Graco as a backup. We bought the Titan 440i. So far it's a great machine. Easy to set up and clean.
If you go with the Titan 440i they have a lot of rebates and kool tools. I got 3 new tips, a gun and a titan bag.

I spray slick wall for dry wall guys on occasion. We mix any cheap, heavy-bodied flat paint in with the mud, and spray it on with a .017-.019 tip........WOW! This sounds like a whole new buisness, drywallers would probably be interested it would save them from having to skim coat. My thought is how does the mud make it through the filter or are able to remove it?

The 440 has long been a great entry level pump. Like Workaholic says, you may want to go with biggest pump you can afford--unless all you're planning on doing is to spray lacquer or exterior stain.im breaking down and geting into spraying what is a good entry level profesional sprayer are titans still the best i know they were b4 .
I run Graco's myself, and I like the Ultra 395 for the smaller spray rigs.

Graco already markets for this with their Mark IV and Mark V sprayers. I think they're basically a 1595 with some bigger heavier duty parts swapped out. I've got the Mark V, it's been good to me ever since Graco swapped my first one out as a lemon.WOW!

I'm looking at buying a 660 as well (Titan 660xc). Anybody know much about these? I know theyre almost 15 yrs old. If the guy will come down to $500 I'll prob buy it as I need a bigger sprayer quick
Old thread and my answer in 2008 is still the same.
