These legacy Graco units encompass a range of discontinued paint application devices previously manufactured by Graco Inc. for both professional and DIY users. These older sprayers are characterized by their specific model numbers, design features, and potentially, now-obsolete parts and technologies. For example, a homeowner might possess a Graco Ultra 390 manufactured in the late 1990s, representing one such example.
Their continued use often reflects a preference for familiar equipment, cost savings derived from avoiding new purchases, or a desire for simpler, mechanically driven operation compared to contemporary, digitally controlled models. Understanding their historical context provides insights into the evolution of paint spraying technology and the durability of certain manufacturing approaches. Moreover, knowledge of these devices is essential for sourcing replacement parts and maintaining operational status.
