Graco RTX 900
I just bought a Graco RTX 900 at an auction. It is practically brand new for $500. I have a question about spray patterns. Will this thing spray for stippling or is going to be a big mess? It came with 1 nozzle and before I attempt to use it tomorrow I would like some advice on what to do. It seems like the perfect size for basements. Help.

Re: Graco RTX 900
I don't have any experience with those things but I would head on down to your local supplier and ask, or they might know of another guy that uses them you can talk to. otherwise do what I do... Trial and error and learn by your mistakes, although a mistake with one of those could be a weeeee bit messy.

Re: Graco RTX 900
This piece of shi! can only spray splatter crap!!!!! I guess it's a lesson learned. It sprayed everything and anything in site with overspray! It took me 2 hours to clean up the mess! I left my tailgate open and let it roll out of my truck on 82 if anyone is interested.

Re: Graco RTX 900
Aw come on... go back and pick it up, it was a bargain, all you got to do is talk to the right person. like any dywall tools, they all suck until you know how to use them then you can't do without them.

Re: Graco RTX 900
Sorry Crazy, I was going to warn you but I did not want to piss on your new bargain bin tool. HomeDepot sells those things and a friend used one for one job and took the POS back.
Is there a place to add more air on that thing? I bet with more air that would do ok for a basement.

Re: Graco RTX 900
That Sucks! The RTX 1500 is probably what you need.
