Review on Graco Sharpe 288880 FX3000 Paint Spray by Justin Verslues

Revainrating 2 out of 5

It's as good as it will be in a year or two.

Bought in 2015, painted a Corvette and it has worked very well. I cleaned it thoroughly and kept it until I used it a few weeks ago. I've found that the cap no longer fits the cup, but that's okay - I can replace it with a disposable cap. I filled the gun with a gear to check and it was leaking from the needle seal. Circuit removed and tested. The parts are all there, just need to be replaced. Nobody in town has them for sale, so order a set. Please allow 3 days for assembly and try again. Now it flows out of the spray tip. The problem is I've now spent $25 to replace the needle packing and gasket kit for $62 and three more days. Not to mention I have to sand down the epoxy before I can paint. If you're looking to buy this for a job, that's great, but plan on buying a recovery kit in a year or two, even if you don't use it.

Pros
  • Excellent Construction
Cons
  • Damaged
