Graco 3400

Hi all, can you use waterbore paint with a Graco 3400?, I'm thinking about purchasing a 3400 for my first machine, and would like to use waterborne paint, I'm doing this part time , small jobs and i think this will be all the machine I need for now , what do you think?

I run latex through my 3400 all the time with no problems, just make sure you use throat oil on the pump rod

Thats all I have used in mine....

Spend the extra money and get a 3900.

Ditto... With the 3900 you can run two guns (if needed) and also hook up to a line driver should your business expand.

I would , but again just starting , Part time , weekends and night doing small jobs , consentrating on restripes for now , and would like to use this for a spare later if the opportunities present themselves,.....thanks for the info, what a great site

That's so funny! I'm embarrassed to say, that the ball of paint on the suction/return tubes, on my "red" machine got so big that I could hardly get any paint in the bucket anymore. I finally broke down and took a hammer to it and so I could get the tubes seperated. I even flushed it out for the first time in at least a year.
