Overview
The Graco Magnum 257025 Project Painter Plus is a metal, US-made airless paint sprayer sized for projects up to 5 gallons, with adjustable pressure control and a flexible suction tube that draws straight from a 1 or 5 gallon paint bucket.
It sits below the X5 and X7 in Graco's Magnum lineup: no cart, no stated annual gallon rating, and hose support that tops out at 50 ft rather than 75 or 100. That makes it a smaller, simpler option built around a handful of household jobs rather than repeated remodeling work.
- Sized for projects up to 5 gallons
- Fully adjustable pressure control
- Flexible suction tube for 1 or 5 gallon buckets
- Supports up to 50 ft of paint hose
Who it's for
Fits DIYers who want to skip brushes and rollers for a handful of interior or smaller exterior jobs each year. Not sized for the multi-story or higher-volume work the X5 and X7 are built to handle.

Performance notes
