pro17 graco what kit do I need to paint oil base paint?
ByApr 14, 2025
1 Answer | 
Answer This Question

The Prox 17 can spray non flammable oil based materials out of the box. If you would like to spray flammable oil based materials you'd need to purchase and install a lacquer conversion kit. If you have any additional questions please feel free to give us a call at 844-241-9499. Thank you, Graco Support Team

            you just purge it thru as you prime the hose and gun assy. the pump saver fluid Is not an oil. it is a (non harmful) glycol base

            By|Feb 5, 2026

            (6)

            It's water soluble, just hook your garden hose up to the intake hose and flush it out until the water comes out clean.

                  I would say yes. if it sucks up and sprays paint it is a safe and useful product.

                    Goes on the inlet hose after you clean the system, place the pump armor bottle on the inlet hose set it in prime position let it run into you see the fluid coming out from the prime hose and turn it off disconnect the electrical cord, set it up into a spray position replace the inlet strainer and put a bag on the hoses for any dripping and use it every time to keep the system running like new it doesn't take alot of the fluid usually two ounces or less

                            You can use it between uses if you really wanted to. It’s essentially just going to lube the pump and keep your gaskets and stuff in the best condition they can be in. So to answer your question Yes you can use it if the down time is so short as it won’t hurt anything and can only help prolong the life of the pump and gaskets.

                              I would at least every other time. It helps just like antifreeze does for your water pump in your car.

                                No, that shouldn’t be necessary for that short a time. But if you don’t use it for more than a few days, don’t forget to put some in.

                                  I have the XR9 airless paint sprayer. This Pump Armor is a new product to me. My sprayer has been used to paint 2 houses back in the late 90's and once in 2002. It has been in storage since then. I will be needing it again in about a month. Be fore plugging it in and starting up, what recommendation would you have? To clean, pre-lube, and or replace which parts?

                                  KevinWinchester, I would flush and do a practice run with water. If it runs and holds the water, it will run and hold the paint. We really won't know what could need replacing until the unit is tested. Feel free to contact us at 844 241 9498 M - F 7:30am to 5:30pm CST. We'd be happy to assist you.

                                    I have used this pump fluid for many jobs! Hard jobs, done by hand jobs, jobs that blow! This pump fluid is slick and keeps the pumping lubed when doing the dirty stuff. Get your hands on this pump fluid and go to town! It will have you spraying in no time!!

                                      It would be a good idea to use the product after you paint, not sure if it will help using it before hand. a few days before you start your project I would put the hoses in a bucket of water and see that everything works properly before use, then if it does work properly, purge the water, use the pump armor before starting your painting project.

                                          I bought this product to winterize my Graco sprayer. Product has a wide opening, which makes it easy to drop the intake tube down into the fluid.
