Will this sprayer spray Kilz without cutting it with thinner or water?
I don’t know about kilz but I have ran zyznessor 123 primer (witch is way better from my experience) through my sprayer the same one above. I don’t recommend it unless you enjoy cleaning. It was a pain to clean and still to this day I will not run it through the sprayer just because of the clean up factor alone.

Before you buying that one, take a look a refurb Graco magnum x5's on ebay. I recently bought one for 194 from CJ spray. I feel like parts for a Graco will be easier to source than a HF.

Yep.
And yes, Graco tips and such fit.
And cleaning these things is exactly the same pain in the *** no matter how much you spend on what brand. You only bust one of these out when you're planning to paint allllllll damn day.
Or use it once and put it on CrackList the next day. Hell, throw it away and you're money ahead over hiring a painter.

I did several years ago with no problem.
Not sure about parts either but I know some grace parts work with the hf and I was told by someone and not sure if the were right or not but that graco built this one for hf. They use to offer one that looked almost identical back when this one came out. But again not 100% sure and not trying to tell you to buy one over the other. Personally This is the only airless spray I have owned but I have used but this one a the graco and they both did the jobs just fine and for the most part the same. The graco was just better and pumping out of a 5gallon bucket because it was made to sit over a 5 gallon bucket. The one thing I do know is don’t wear your self out painting all day and make sure you plan for clean up and have the correct cleaning and storage solutions on hand before starting to paint. Always clean the machine out after done painting and when changing paint. Also make sure when storing it make sure all the water is dried out and use the storage solution. Doing that they seem to live and work well for a long time.
