It is an ordeal to clean it, but I have done it multiple times, and it is easy now. Two main reasons why this fails: 1) air leaks in, and the tool cannot create vacuum to suck paint out of bag. 2) small solid pieces of paint clog pump. That when pump/compressor inside sounds weird and different. I cleaned everything first in cold water (rough cleaning)a and then in hot water with liquid soap. I take nozzle off and clean it. You can take filer off filter to clean but do not squeeze it. If you reshape the filter then air will easily leak in, and the tool will not be able to create vacuum, and paint will not flow in. Do not squeeze very solid plastic frame where paint bag sits in. Be sort of gentle with it. Again, if you reshape/deform it even little bit, air leakage will prevent the sprayer from doing its job. Most important cleaning process is using the sprayer to shoot out hot soapy water. This will melt any solid particulates that may be clogging pump, compressor, and what not inside. After cleaning paint bag and the plastic frame in hot water, add liquid soap and hot water in. Attach it to the sprayer and flip it upside down. When you flip it upside down you do not have to squeeze air out of the bag. I shake it little bit to see soapy bubbles as much as possible, and then sprayer should be primed on on the highest speed for 10 seconds, but I go little bit longer. Then, you just let it sit upside down for 5-10 minutes. I repeat this routine twice, and every time the sprayer works much better. Apparently, I often get solid pieces of paint to reduce flow of paint in the sprayer. Then, I repeat this procedure but with only hot water without soap, so I do not get soap and paint mixed on my next job. Graco customer service told me about this cleaning trick with hot water and soap, and flipping the tool upside down. The tool works very well, but everywhere where sealing has to be air tight, be very careful. Do not squeeze it, do not be rough with it. Solid paint will cause clogging problems, so I clean paint very well from all the parts I use. Do not have old solidified paint because it will get inside and clog pump/compressor. Another problem that happened I would squeeze air out of bag, close the tip on it, prime the sprayer for 10 seconds at maximum speed, and the sprayer worked very well. However, if after priming, I climbed long ladder, the sprayer wouldn't work. It was a puzzle. What happened while I was climbing, the paint would go down by gravity and push air toward the sprayer filter, and air would prevent the sprayer sucking paint in. So, I have to squeeze air bag, and prime the sprayer just before using it even if I was on the top of ladder. After several times, it became sort of easy. This tool is only for smaller shorter projects. I am spraying exterior house walls, but one by one, and it is going pretty well. Review: Excellent product, easy to use - The VSP model of the 360 is excellent. (1) It uses a 42 oz cup rather than 32 oz. You'll appreciate refilling much less often with a larger capacity. The weight difference is 8 oz of whatever medium you're using which is minor. (2) The variable speed has many more options than the 2 speed models which helps me greatly. You get a "feel" for what speed to use very quickly. (3) You can paint at any angle, even upside down. I'm applying preservative on the joists under a 50' x 12' deck, and I'm using paint sprayer is upside down most of the time. (4) You don't have to thin your paint or preservative. That usually ruins a lot of products if they are thinned. (5) Very easy learning curve. This is my first time using a paint sprayer. Even after it arrived, I worried that I couldn't use it, but I found that it is very user friendly. I researched all of the main brands and a few "desertcart Choices" along with watching many Youtube videos that compare various sprayers. This is my choice, and I'm very, very happy. It's the first time I've ever used a spray gun, and it was easy. I recommend having a brush on hand to brush out any uneven places or drips. Just takes a few seconds to make corrections with a brush. A very conservative estimate is that I spent 25% of the time that it used to take me with a brush. Wish I had bought one years ago. ## Features - CONTROL SPEED: Variable speed control lets you determine the pace for ultimate control on your project; Reversible spray tip allows you to reverse the tip when clogged to keep you spraying - STORAGE CASE: Durable storage case protects sprayer while keeping tips and accessories organized - SPRAY PAINT UNTHINNED: Stainless Steel Piston Pump allows you to spray paint unthinned at high pressure - SPRAY IN ANY DIRECTION: VacuValve technology creates an air tight system allowing you to spray in any direction, even upside down - RECOMMENDED USE: Annual use recommendation is up to 25 gallons per year - IDEAL FOR MULTI COLOR PROJECTS: FlexLiner Bag replaces traditional material cups, reuse or recycle when you’re done - INCLUDED WITH SPRAYER: 2 - .015 inch reversible spray tips, 4 in. narrow and 12 inch wide, 4 -42 oz FlexLiner Bags, operation manual and storage case; proudly made in the USA - VOLTAGE: 120 volts (ETL Certified) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00ZLIV55A | | Best Sellers Rank | #358,521 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #1,280 in Power Paint & HVLP Sprayers | | Brand | Graco | | Brand Name | Graco | | Color | Blue / White | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 1,719 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00755652063049 | | Included Components | 2 - .015 inch Reversible spray tips, 4 in. narrow and 12 inch wide, 4-42 oz FlexLiner Bags, Operation Manual and Storage Case | | Item Dimensions W x H | 5.2"W x 11.8"H | | Item Type Name | Graco 17D889 TrueCoat 360 VSP Handheld Paint Sprayer | | Item Weight | 3.75 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Graco Inc. | | Manufacturer Part Number | 17D889 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | 1 year limited warranty | | Material | Stainless Steel | | Material Type | Stainless Steel | | Model Name | 17D889 | | Model Number | 17D889 | | Power Source | Handheld | | Product Dimensions | 5.2"W x 11.8"H | | Style Name | TrueCoat 360 VSP Paint Sprayer | | Tank Volume | 25 Gallons | | UPC | 755652063049 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Graco - **Color:** Blue / White - **Item Weight:** 3.75 Pounds - **Material:** Stainless Steel - **Tank Volume:** 25 Gallons ## Images ![Graco 17D889 TrueCoat 360 VSP Handheld Paint Sprayer - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/612mpX6TXoL.jpg) ![Graco 17D889 TrueCoat 360 VSP Handheld Paint Sprayer - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71KsaXd2MHL.jpg) ![Graco 17D889 TrueCoat 360 VSP Handheld Paint Sprayer - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71KRik+EPCL.jpg) ![Graco 17D889 TrueCoat 360 VSP Handheld Paint Sprayer - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61rmOsbMO7L.jpg) ![Graco 17D889 TrueCoat 360 VSP Handheld Paint Sprayer - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71Q9Ymqk28L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: If i plan to replay within 2 hours can i leave the paint in the bag? or do i have to clean then refill?** A: You absolutely can leave it put together with the paint. I have been painting a whole house and didn't clean out my sprayer until the end of the week. Cleaned the tip after every use. Also turned the tip 90 degrees so the tip isn't exposed to air. FYI every sprayer goes thru paint fast and I haven't thinned any latex paint **Q: Can you paint automotive paint with this gun** A: We do not recommend using airless sprayers for automotive paints. We do recommend HVLP. Thanks **Q: is this able to spray oil based paints without thinning it** A: Typically yes. The TrueCoat 360 VSP can spray most materials that can be cleaned with water or mineral spirits. Check the back of the can of paint to see what the manufacturer recommends for tip size. The TrueCoat 360 tips have a 0.015 inch orifice. Thanks. **Q: How do you know what pressure/setting for the vsp to use? I can get the dsp and 42oz cup(2nd cup) for cheap than the vsp.** A: Always test on cardboard and adjust for desired spray pattern/coverage ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Broke on third use but was fixed *by B***B on September 12, 2021* Mine stopped working after three uses for smaller jobs.

Not meant for fine finishes, per Graco. *by K***R on November 4, 2020* Bought this to paint a new 54-ft x 6 ft high solid wood fence. Only took a few minutes to get up to speed with it. Took around 2 gallons of Kilz 2 primer, around 8 reloads of the paint cup, and about 2 hours. Would have gone faster but the fence surface is not an entirely flat surface, with wood batten strips every 6 inches, giving lots of angles to cover. The Kilz-2 paint looked pretty thick so I added probably 3 - 4 oz of water per gallon. This unit has a 1 to 10 speed setting, and I found 4 to be a good choice. After the initial minute or so I got the pump speed and hand movement speed worked out and had no noticeable runs. Due to the ridged fence surface I had to go at it from both directions. I was able to use the same disposable paint cup for the entire process. There is a handy little device packed with the pump I almost overlooked. It's a little slide-on extension of the handle that makes the handle the same length as the paint cup, allowing you to set it down on a level surface. Huge help when refilling, juggling paint cans, or just taking a short break. If there was one area that I had issues with it would be the clean-up. Now, before I even loaded it with paint, I foresaw this could be an issue, so I wiped the entire unit down with a paper towel and a bit of Pledge furniture wax. Wasn't certain how much it would help, but at least it smelled nice. In the end this seemed to help, but the paint found many more tiny crevasses than the wax did. After I was done spraying, I commenced the well-detailed cleaning process, and if there is ONE thing I can stress, it is, have LOTS of clean water, LOTS of empty buckets, and a clean-up area you don't particularly care about. Preferably set up beforehand, outside, on a tarp, with a table, sawhorses and a piece of plywood, . . . some sort of raised work area. You could fumble around on the ground if you wish, but I'm pushing 70, so working at a more comfortable height was a blessing. I had a large canvas tarp on the concrete, with a small folding table, covered with cardboard. Disposable gloves also help. Still managed to make a mess. Also, the Amazon sales info showed a small bottle of Graco Pump Armor liquid to purge and protect the pump for storage. This is incorrect. There was none in the box. When you fill out the registration, the card says if you do it on-line, they will SEND you a small bottle. In 4 to 8 WEEKS! Not much help. BUY some Graco Pump Armor ALONG with the sprayer. When refilling, you need to remove the paint cup and invert the main body of the sprayer, setting it on a work surface, upside down. This is a bit unstable, and drippy at best. If the sprayer topples over, and / or, when reconnecting the now refilled paint cup . . . . Again, have a paint-proof work surface setup beforehand. With tons of paper towels and some damp rags. There is the listed cleaning process with lots of water, and a final rinse with the pump armor, but that says little about cleaning the REST of the device. Being brand-new, I wanted to make it look that way again, so after the major cleaning was done, I took it inside to our laundry room sink and went after the exterior runs with an old toothbrush, a scotch-brite pad, a plastic spoon, and some dish soap. You cannot immerse the unit, but I was very tempted. After some intense scrubbing it looks pretty decent, but after all that, I ramped up the wax job and went at it with some Johnson's Paste Wax. Still have the final paint to run through some day soon when the wind cooperates. Will see if that does any better. One disappointment I discovered after the fact is that it isn't recommended for fine finishes. Graco openly discusses this on-line where users post reviews. They admit freely that another sprayer would work better for this. When I bought it, it was with the idea that I would use it when we repaint our kitchen cabinets, but among the few comments on this, unhappy users said it looked like their young child went at their cabinets with a roller instead. Some of this could be related to paint choices, preparation, thinning, technique, etc, but when Graco themselves discourage it, maybe I better rethink it too. A few last thoughts on spray tips. The two spray tips that come with it vary only in fan width. 4 inch and 12 inch. They stress that NO OTHER TIPS WILL WORK ON IT. PERIOD. And the tip you don't use at the moment has a convenient storage location - a hole drilled into the lower part of the handle. Not thinking other of it, I found my unused tip fell off somewhere and as yet remains lost somewhere in my side yard. Park your spare tip in a safe place. In all, a decent sprayer for house and yard stuff, but on smaller jobs the clean-up could make it impractical, and the frequent refills of the 42 oz paint cup could get tiresome on a really large job. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/17976946-graco-17d889-truecoat-360-vsp-handheld-paint-sprayer](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/17976946-graco-17d889-truecoat-360-vsp-handheld-paint-sprayer) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-28*
