Either brand will do fine in terms of reliability and actual spraying. I've owned Titan and Graco stuff and it makes no difference.

That being said, spend a bit more and get something that will do at least 1 gallon per minute.

 

Graco or Tritech T5. Titan all made in china plastic and poorly thought out 'features' like the hidden TSL reservoir so you can't tell if your actually dispensing liquid on to the rod, or the lower seat pusher rod which leads contractors to not clean machines properly. Difficult to replace the transducer etc etc. Titan gun is complete garbage you can break the housing by dropping it from waist high.

Tritech 100% made in USA from high quality components and the best pump you'll ever own.

1GPM pumps are great but overkill for 90% of residential repaints. I would only look at them if your considering lots of new contruction, thick elastomerics or you need 300+ feet of line.

 

Waaaaay too much from the sounds of it. I don't think he gets enough work to even warm a 695 up

yeah it looks cool but just like the titan its made of cheap metal and composite, you shouldn't be able to break a gun with your bare fingers or dropping it from waist high IMO.

Take a gander at some fine made in USA guns:

Yeah they all look the same. I've never used one. But it's so frustrating these days buying ANYTHING. Seems like everyone, every business, Corp. , retailers, whole salers, lil stores. Big stores , every one of em. Are just out to straight rob people of their hard earned , tax cutted dollar. Sickening. Its like they spend more time and energy, which we all know both are Money. Sitting around thinking.of how they can squeeze every cent by cheaply making cheap stuff with cheap materials. The packaging has come a long ways. Seems like the packaging is better and cost more then what's actually inside.. Smh. .

 

Currently, I only do residential repaints. I am looking for a machine suitable for this with 100' (plus whip), but that would take up a minimum amount of space in my vehicle.

Thanks for your input!

If you don't have anywhere local to get them you can send me a private message, or there are plenty of other online dealers...

 

I have the 640 lowboy and I can't imagine it without wheels, it would be way to heavy. The 495 might be ok on stand mount, but it has just a tic lower production.

 

Witch ever way you go. I would step up to. 695 it will do any job you have with out hurt it. Get it with the hose reel. It makes a world of difference. I Haven’t use Tritech pumps but love what I have used. Then keep your eye open for a small 395 and put a hopper on it. I found one for $100 the hopper cost me more. It is all is nice to have a backup pump. For instants My speed flow when down sprayping dry fall. Out come the 695. Different job 695 goes down out comes the 395. They dont eat anything but space.

 

The graco 495. You'll love it. And that new contractor series gun. It even looks cool.

I mostly use FFLP tips (less overspray in the wind), and I just ordered a Titan HEA tip to try out.

Will a Titan 440 work well with these tips?

Would a Graco 395 or 490 be better in some way? Or should I go with something else.

FYI: I am currently spraying with a very old diaphragm rig (1997 model, I believe), doing residential repaints.

440s are good little machines, made in china. Check out tritech. 100% made in USA using QUALITY parts. Best pump you'll ever own.

 

The winner here is Graco, at least with the two sprayers I own. Performance wise, the Contractor and RX-80 spray guns by both companies are great, but the filters in the gun and manifold of my Graco sprayers are a lot faster to disassemble and clean than Titan.

 

Can’t say enough good things about Tritech, if you want a company you can get ahold of when something goes wrong I guarantee Tritech outperforms Graco.
