Introducing breakthrough needle design technology that protects the needle from paint, preventing wear and gun spitting – making the New Contractor and FTx Guns Graco's longest lasting, most reliable gun. The new Graco Contractor gun comes complete with a RAC X Tip Guard and a RAC X 517 spray tip

The 288420 Graco RAC X Contractor Airless Spray Gun is engineered for professional painters who demand long-lasting durability, precise control, and all-day comfort. Built with a lightweight, ergonomic design and equipped with a 2-finger trigger, this spray gun is optimized for reduced fatigue and consistent performance across extended projects. It comes standard with a RAC X 517 SwitchTip and guard, ensuring superior atomization and fast tip changes for a wide variety of coatings. Whether you’re spraying residential interiors, commercial exteriors, or high-production industrial jobs, this gun delivers smooth, even coverage and professional-grade results.

Unlike standard spray guns, the Contractor series is designed with exclusive FlexSeal needle technology, which encloses the needle in a fluid-tight chamber. This innovation significantly reduces paint exposure, extending needle life by up to 70% while delivering a clean, sharp shut-off that minimizes paint spitting and reduces costly rework. The repositioned seat design further cuts down on dead space, improving paint flow and control while reducing overspray.

The EasyGlide swivel is another standout feature, offering effortless hose maneuverability to reduce wrist strain and allow smoother gun movement on the job. Combined with the thumb-activated safety lock and responsive 2-finger trigger, painters get more control with less effort—making this gun a favorite for both speed and accuracy.

Graco prioritized operator comfort with a form-fitted, contoured handle that reduces hand fatigue during long spray sessions. At just over 1.5 pounds, it’s lightweight yet rugged enough to withstand demanding jobsite conditions. The detachable trigger guard makes routine maintenance faster, giving you quick access to filters without tools.
