Other Important Features To Note
One of our favorites and best features about the Graco Texspray Mark V range is the digital SmartControl-E technology. It continuously monitors how you’re spraying and adjusts the setup in under a second to ensure you’re spraying at maximum efficiency with perfect results.
Even with multiple guns attached to the Mark V, the SmartControl technology will adjust accordingly to delivery to perfect spray, every time.
