Product Information

There aren’t any real alternatives to Graco’s Pump Armor or any other paint sprayer storage protection liquids for that matter. 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? 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.

No, it’s not. Pump Armor is specifically designed to be used for anti-corrosion and helping lubricate paint-sprayers, so we do not recommend using antifreeze.

Yes, you should use Pump Armor even if you plan on storing your device indoors, because it also prevents corrosion build-up from moisture, not just from freezing. What can I use as a Pump Armor substitute? Turn on the device, open the prime valve, and slowly increase the pressure. Get ready to stop the device before the water starts making its way into the cup. 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. Because Pump Armor is relatively cheap, most people do not reuse it. You can, though. I do reuse it most of the time.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.
