    Best Applications

    Graco sprayers shine on:

    • Large flat or low-slope commercial roofs
    • Silicone, acrylic, elastomeric, asphalt, and other protective coatings
    • Projects with tight deadlines that demand speed and efficiency
    • Jobs requiring uniform millage for long-term system performance

    Tips for Contractors

    • Perform regular maintenance (filters, hoses, and pump checks) to keep performance high and extend equipment life.
    • Pair with proper spray tips for specific coatings to maximize coverage and minimize waste.
    • Keep spare parts (such as tips, filters, and hoses) on hand to reduce downtime.
    • Always strain coating materials before spraying to avoid clogs.

    Safety Notes

    When using a Graco sprayer, always wear the recommended PPE, including a respirator, gloves, and goggles, to protect yourself from airborne particles and coating contact. Be mindful of wind conditions, as overspray can easily drift onto nearby structures or vehicles. Finally, never exceed the manufacturer’s pressure ratings, as doing so can cause equipment damage and increase the risk of injury.
