Product Information

Before starting the process, you have to make sure that the device is as clean as possible, removing as much leftover paint as you can while it’s still in its fluid form. Read above the how to flush out the fluid section to learn how to collect it the proper way to be as clean as possible. Do I need to use Pump Armor if I plan on storing my device indoors?

Pump Armor Pump Protectant, 1 L - Graco Inc.

To sum everything up, Graco Pump Armor is absolutely needed if you care about your paint sprayer. Think of it as an accessory that without it, your paint sprayer won’t do its job. According to Graco, the Pump Armor must be used for “extended storage” of your device. Now, what do they mean by “extended”?If you’re serious about spray painting and you actually care about your device(s), you probably already know that paint sprayers need constant maintenance even when not in use, especially during the wintertime. It is made and approved by Graco for use in all airless pumps. It is available in two sizes: 1-quart and 1-gallon bottle sizes. What does Graco Pump Armor do?

Pump Armour, 3.8 litre (1 gal) - Graco Inc.

For the above step, while you can insert the return tube into the bottle of Pump Armor together with the suction tube, I don’t recommend it, because some leftover paint or whatever material you’ve been using the last time can end up inside. Pump Armor is a storage protection liquid, meant to be used when the paint sprayer is not in operation. Don’t forget that one of the main uses of Pump Armor is to protect the paint sprayer from corrosion, so diluting it with water makes no sense if you plan on storing your device for a long period. Can you reuse Pump Armor? Get the Graco Pump Armor and insert the suction tube directly into the bottle. Take the return tube and put it into an empty cup. The process itself is relatively easy. The gun and the hose aren’t really needed here, because what we want to achieve, is to fill the pump with liquid, not the other parts of the paint sprayer.There aren’t any real alternatives to Graco’s Pump Armor or any other paint sprayer storage protection liquids for that matter. Slowly increase the pressure, and as soon as you see the fluid coming through the return tube, decrease the pressure, turn the device off, and shut the prime valve. Sure some people buy a cheap paint sprayer just for a job or two. If you’re one of them, you probably won’t care much and you may even throw the paint sprayer away after you get the job done. Because Pump Armor is relatively cheap, most people do not reuse it. You can, though. I do reuse it most of the time.
