Another Industry First for Graco with Launch of TrueCoat™ Pro Fine Finish and ProShot® Fine Finish Cordless Handheld Paint Sprayers

Graco Inc.(NYSE: GGG) announced another industry first for professional paint spraying with the introduction of TrueCoat™ Pro Fine Finish and ProShot® Fine Finish cordless airless handheld paint sprayers. Graco® TrueCoat Pro Fine Finish and Graco ProShot Fine Finish handheld paint sprayers feature the ProControl™ Pressure Control System, which allows for independent adjustment of pressure and flow rate to optimize spraying fine finish materials and applications. In addition, innovative design features make these sprayers unique and fully compatible with solvent-based materials, including “hot” solvents.

Like all Graco handheld paint sprayers, the new TrueCoat Pro Fine Finish and ProShot Fine Finish models feature patented and patent pending ProSpray technology. This technology delivers professional spray results in the palm of your hand and makes every project fast and easy from set-up through clean-up.

According to Graco Contractor Equipment Division (CED) Worldwide Product Marketing Manager Mike Vangstad, “The Graco Fine Finish handheld paint sprayers were designed based on input and research from professional painters who needed a solution for their fine finish applications. The new Graco Fine Finish handheld sprayers deliver excellent results while providing portability, speed and ease of use in a handheld unit.”
