Thanks for the review. My wife got me a Iwata WS-400 Supernova yesterday as a Xmas present. Can´t wait to try it out. Now I feel like a Lamborghini owner even I just do spraypainting as hobby on my own cars. Nothing better when you have painted something and it comes out smooth as glass without working your ass off by sanding and buffing. That´s why I love my Iwata´s (I have 4 now).
I love the fact that even after you said you weren't going to brake it down like the points based vid, versatility and price still have such a strong influence on your opinion. You are who are man lol👍🏻
Your commitment to the trade has paid dividends my friend, also the effort in your vids is next to none. Thanks for all you've done and will do in the future, as always "stay spraying!"
Love it gunnie. Love how you put it. Especially for people with young familys and morgages who cant aford $700 and up priced guns. And still can get a awesome finish with a working mans priced gun 😁😁
yep, that would be me! I wont be painting enough to justify buying a pro's gun but I still want a good gun to go along with all the rest of the hard work it takes for an excellent finish.
Gunman, Thank you for being technical . Thank you for all the great videos that you have had over the years. I really have learned alot from you . Thank you.
Well, this makes a pleasant change. Someone who knows what the're talking about. Well done chap. And yes the GTI has been the top gun for a number of years in the UK. 30 years ago when l was painting and panel beating l actually favoured the Sata , it was a brilliant all rounder. I only paint occasionally now so more or less anything will do, mainly my very worn out Sata. I must say that you appeared to be painting at a pretty high pressure but l think it was optical as you mentioned 45psi. I'm officially retired but paint my own cars in my garage. ( that's about one every 3years! but it's like riding a bike. You never forget. Cheers ! Hope your all ok with this covid19 going global. Keep safe and take care!
Hi Have you ever painted Opalescent Maroon its a deep Burgandy its a Jaguar color i am thinking of painting my Holden wagon the same color but in Acrylic as i have never painted 2 pac before
I love my GPI ! It lays clear down flat so easily, I can't imagine being able to get it flatter with any other gun. I bought a Iwata Bellaria and haven't used it yet as I'm waiting for warmer weather. I bought it from Japan. I take it out of the box and stare at it like a stupid nerd every week lol. Awesome video Gunman !!! 👍😎
Thanks for a another quality video. The effort is differently appreciate at this end. I am a DIY guy and brought my first sparygun from Spraygun. Direct solely based on from watching your first top 10 review way back when. I brought the FLG and now looking buying another one for primer. Absolutely love every video. Especially the Poison Ivy SS Commodore one, as I own exactly that car/colour but in a Redline Sportswagon..Lost count how many times I have watched it to learn how to spray that colour correctly. Thanks mate. RIP Holden. So sad.
Thanks Gunny and Spray guns direct for the awesome giveaway!! Speaking of the ani r150 I picked one up awhile back in the 1.2 and no kidding that thing is a monster.. thanks for the recommendation on that jewel!!
I couldn't agree more with your selections and reasons. I'm a DIY guy and I always look for versatility and value for money. Thank you and spray guns direct for the giveaway.
Another great video, I was getting nervous seeing all the newer guns in this video BUT, was happy to see the GTI Pro lite is still your number one go too. I went with the GTI Pro lite (tekna) per your previous videos, I haven't regretted it for one second. I'm looking at the ANI R150 with the 1.2 tip for my next purchase. Thanks for your knowledge and for the hard work you do.
Thanks for the updated list! Always nice to see current versions of these to keep up with new models and changing experience/opinions over time. Awesome 👍🏻
Just found your channel Gunman, really useful info on pressure settings and the ability to manipulate results, fan size etc. just by changing pressure. I'm starting a restoration on a 1951 Hudson Pacemaker (I had no idea Hudson made a 1933 Pacemaker Eight!) at home and already bought a Anest Iwata gun with 1.8 nozzle for epoxy sealer (AZ3 HTE). Plan is to repair then seal each panel one at a time over the next few weeks. When it's time to reassemble and paint the whole car I'll look for a gun with a bigger fan as it's a big car. Thanks for your very informative videos, I'm gonna start going through your back cattledog of videos for my bedtime reading! If I ever need a jump start in Melbourne I'll get you to grab the jump start kit ...
I purchased a Tekna pro lite based on your reviews on the GTI platform spray gun, and its really good, low overspray, high material savings at very low pressure, I absolutely love it, I've been using an Iwata Lph 400 for about 12 years, and the diferrence is night and day, this is a true HVLP spray gun.
Hello gunny it’s your friend paul from Canada 🇨🇦….. I want to review all your recent stuff ! …. I suscribed 5 years ago , u are a great mentor and real !!!
Hi mate, I love your vids, they are so helpful to me as a hobbyist car nut who occasionally needs to do a little painting. I have an Iwata Inest AZ3 with a 1.3mm cap which I have been using at 28psi linked up to a large capacity compressor so no worries there. It seems to use a whole heap of paint tho and wondered if you could provide a few additional tips for me. Also my base coat sometimes goes on a little dull (not wet finish) but its always a balance between wet finish and heaps of runs. I don't use a booth and am in VIC AU so its often less than 20c. Cheers mate and keep up the awesome vids.
I’m pleased with your review of theses guns. I’m still a devilbiss tekna fan. Thanks gunny hope you’re doing well been watching the devastation in your homeland. Sending prayers
The Gunman - absolutely super informative video - one of your best - I'm a DIY and just love spray painting - when I was younger and running my business, used to hire a compressor & gun - now I'm retired, do it as a hobby - made a lot of mistakes, but learnt - now when I get a good finish straight off the gun (no sanding) it's like a drug, you get on a high - started off with a 2 hp, 88 liter tank, compressor, with a Sata knock off spray gun (difficult to get a smooth finish) - just purchased a 4hp, 150 liter tank compressor, 13 cfm, so looking for an affordable gun to match - currently down to three options (based on your gun review) Iwata, Tekno (DeVilbiss) and Sagola - might consider also the ANi R 150 Mini gun (mostly doing smaller jobs) thanx' again - love your video's
No surprise to see the Pro lite at #1 , but very good job at being unbiased about your selection. Price is usually a big factor in choosing my guns,but sometimes I like to treat myself to something pretty. Ahhhhhh hahaha. Gotta go, need to paint some s#!+...
Thank you Gunman! I purchased two great guns you recommended the Devilbiss Tekna Prolite and Ani 50. Watching your videos have me confidence to spay some shit! Mahalo!
Hi mate. Thank you so much for review iwata turnpike hakone HD. I want buy one last year but not sure how the gun spray like, saw video of you spray black mirror wow!! Went bought one lol.. Thanks for let everyone know the website where you got it from. Cause all sold in Australia. Thanks again.
Great video and very interesting seeing all the difference guns in action as you don't get to see this when yr painting car day in day out , im currently using iwata ws 400 clear coat super nova which I love it gives a lovely flat finish and completely agree with you about the transfer efficiency , where can I pick up a gunman T shirt from m8 ??
Good stuff Gunny. Thank you. I said I wasn’t gonna buy nothin till ur vid came out. No excuses now. I also had no idea that different ambient temperatures calls for different size tips. I’m a serious noob and that was a revelation. Wrote that down. I appreciate your efforts and thanks again for making this vid
thx gunny reall good advice. You inspired me to paint my own wheels from watching your videos. they came up pretty good from your tips and equipment i used
I bought a Devilbiss FLG 5 a couple of years ago after watching a video you recommended it in, I paid £100 for it and use it to spray wings and little bits in my garage at home. I think it's absolutely fantastic for the price you can get them for and glad to see it's still high on your list!
Great list your videos have taken me from a industrial type painter to a custom finishes. I paint at custom trailer shop and used there pressure pot for a year then started getting my own guns and prepping better. Not just a quick sand but removing millscale and wide with wax and grease remover even the bosses couldn't believe the differences one day it wasnt bad before. But now I can get minimal and glass finishes with high quality 2part alkyd enamel 5 year fade out warranty. Gti pro light and sagola and sata 5500 we do some vehicles but Bobcats skid steers, dozers , military vehicle. I'm the only painter. Thanks for everything was able to get more money once I learned to use hvlp rp lvlp. Coming from pressure pot to hvlp. Didntike hvlp at first. Abd bought lvlp and loved it. Once I got to where that was to slow. I went back to that other gun and found from you get closrt 4 5 inches away and it laid glass. Experience and experimenting is the way to learn but seeing and having pointers helps when spraying daily. My boss couldn't teach I self taught. Now I can walk in any shop and if they let me do a job for free I know I'll get the job. Started side work at my house. Thank for the time in these videos. For DIY I run 3 compressors in parallel 3 different breakers. Roughly 17 cfm @90 150 psi 65 gallons and portable
I Really enjoy your videos, I’m a 4 year painter, I was an iwata man all the way, I started watching you about 2 years ago, bought z gti pro lite and haven’t picked up anything else since. Now I have 3 and don’t see ever changing, may try the DV-1. Thanks agIn!!
my workshop paints parts for the volkswagen industry, and we use Sata guns only because these are one of the fastest guns to put out color material and clearcoats, since we have to paint alot of parts a day we also need reliable guns! and ofc the satas last only like a month or 2 until they start showing wear since they get used 24hours a day
Nice compliation, I'm Team FLG 5 for life, after your last recommendation.May consider buying the Gti pro as I step up my game.My garage results are on my channel.The black hilux was done with the FLG 5 other 2 cars are with an iwata, I'm a perth lad and love that you narrate your vids. Awesome work.
Hello Gunnie, here in Portugal we use 2k direct and waterbourne base, i want to buy a Flg5, someday, can i use it with waterbourne base? Keep up the great work. Cheers from Portugal.
Hey Gunman, thanks for all the great videos. I wouldn't have had the courage to take on the DIY painting that I have done, without these videos. This one in particular could not have come at a better time. I am buying a new gun and was not sure what to get. After watching this video I decided on either the Iwata Bellaria or the FlG5. I almost bought the Iwata, but found an FLG5 with a 1.3 from MDA Bitec in the UK. Supposedly, Devilbiss made them specifically for them in some type of volume deal. I am a little skeptical, but they are a reputable company so figured I'd give it a try. I am in the US so it's going to take a while to get here, but I will let you know how it goes. Thanks again for all the work you put into these videos.
Great video Liked!! Hi there I have a FLG5 per your previous top 10 video. Now Im trying to get a better gun for light metallics and silvers and still be affordable. Would you recommend w400 bellaria? Or what would be your choice?
love the vids mate always learning heaps keep up the good work. ive done a few jobs with my flg5 now. as a beginner I picked it up followed the settings you recommended and just started painting. I really cant believe how easy it is to use. the first job was a bumper in red metallic. I did get some orange peel due to not thinning my clear correctly but matched spot on after a polished. for anyone looking to buy a first gun its been easy to pick up and learn with the Devilbiss flg5
Awesome! I'll have to look into it. Here in Indianapolis, Indiana. We're using mostly Sata, and Iwata for Collision, Custom, and Production. It would be a good idea to invest in multiple brand's. Now I lay primer on a 1.4, base in 1.3.
I’ve been using my devilbiss FLG for base and clear for years and was hoping to see some recommendations for new guns only to see it at your number 3 haha. Guess I’ll keep using it for longer
I am using sata jet 5000 rp 1.3 at work for 2k polyurethane topcoats. Two years so far and about 30kg of paint in everyday use makes this gun so reliable.
Interesting list. I somewhat feel the 3m accuspray should be on a top 10 somewhere just because of how much value you get out of it. You don't have to baby it, super easy cleanup and easy change of fluid size. You get a primer, sealer and a decent base gun. I mostly use it for primer and sealer though. What do you think?
Great list Gunny, I personally own 5 of these guns. Although I might have a slightly different order, I think you most definitely have the #1 position correct. Have loved my Tekna pro-lite. Even since it was demoted from base to single stage, it was nice to just change fluid tip and have it continue to smash out beautiful finishes. So much versatility built into that gun, you can't go wrong with one.
Lph400 iwata for clear hands down. Gti pro lite for base coats tekna for metallics and pearls end of story 35 plus years master painter cheers from cali👊
I tossed up between GTI and Bellaria a few years back now. I was using Iwata W400 at work for painting the locomotives and for me it was a nice progression with awesome fine air cap. Came with a 1.3 mm tip and been fine for direct gloss,base and clear. Cost me over $400 AU I'm sure though..😂👍
@@mura0 yes I've used same setup to this day, painted quite a few metallics and pearls. You could give 1.4 a go but for myself the 1.3 is always consistent with great results. Love the Bellaria still! Tony's Refinishing on TH-cam uses same gun on a few of his videos too.
Love your videos! I heard you say in a older video you actually dont prefer hvlp but have to use them for work. Do you still feel that way, or has hvlp gotten good enough to be what you really prefer now? What is your favorite non hvlp if you wanted the paint as level as you can get it? I've heard due to higher pressures that some other types of guns can level the clear better than hvlp. Thank you for this channel! It's a huge inspiration to me to help me pick up a gun and paint!
Oh man, my Harbor Freight gun didn't make the list... lol Not a professional whatsoever, but if I did paint for a living, I would fund for the best gun I could afford because I believe your end product speaks for your abilities and capabilities. Thumbs Up!
i know it’s an old video but we would also like to see the top 10 best guns that gives you the best finish for base & top ten for clear coat if money is not an issue. it’s great that you put value for money first & that’s great to see for us garage workshop folks that value our hard earned money but sometimes we’re curious to know which guns are the best at what they do were priority is finish not price. thanks
I'll second Jason's request, would love a top-10 or even 5 strictly on 1)performance and 2) build quality. Mainly "performance" as the only guide since the end user can decide how much of a factor cost would be in their application. TC Annapolis MD
I just watched your previous video yesterday and was like, "Man, I wish he'd come back out with a new one soon"... Weird timing, but I can't say I'm disappointed! :D
Mate loving your videos. Helps me a lot during my learning process. I am looking for a spray gun for sealer, normal basecoats, clear and urethane candys. Kind of a allrounder. Could you recommend me a gun as an Allrounder. Spraying about 5-10 cars a year. Budget would be about 300-400 aud. Would be much appreciated.
Hey Gunny great video, looks like I did right by buying the Tekna ProLite :) What fluid tip & air cap combo do you usually for spraying basecoat and clear with the ProLite? I used 1.4 with TE10 for base, and 1.3 with TE20 for clear and it turned out pretty well but just wondering how you do it. Thanks
Thanks Gunny for another great vid... just a quick Q... I've got the Gunny edition Pro Lite in Green and will use the TE10 1.3 for base. Would you recommend me using he 1.2 tip for HS clear to achieve a flatter glass like finish or stick to the 1.3?
Awesome man cheers. So, I'd only go 1.2 if you have thinned the clear at least 10% all clears are slightly different so it's hard to say for sure but personally I'd start with the 1.3, I like a nice amount of material on there, so it'll last longer, gives you more to buff into also.

@@unlimitedservices3170 thanks for the tip, the Iwata is out of my budget range at the moment, I'm only a novice at this, but will have a look at the video reviews 👍
Do you have a supplier you can recommend in continental US?? I'm in California. There are a bunch of options online, but also worried about fake guns out there! Crazy. Stay safe Gunman. Really enjoy your channel.
Hi Gunnie, I have a Sata jet 5000 RP 1.3 phaser, I have had it for a while now and just started using it (trying to) a couple months ago. Going from the 4000 to 1.4 to.it was really hard because it always seemed to be a pain to adjust. I recently looked at the needle head on while I pulled the trigger and it bends downwards! Have you had this issue with any of your santas? I sent it out to sata but they did nothing to it other then clean it and replace some seals. They said it sprays perfectly fine (BS). Also I never dropped any part of the gun so there should be no reason for it to have a bent needle.
I am extremely happy with my Devilbiss made in mexico version you recommended a few years ago, I don't spray paint a lot, I used it the other day to spray 2 pack base on a tractor bonnet, Devilbiss guns are well engineered inside compared to the cheap and nasty ones
Hi, this video and all other I watch are so good, thank you, I’m very interested to start painting some of my car I buy at auction, I’m trying to buy a good gun to spray in my house garage, I don’t have a shop, which gun you recommend me?
Much respect for all your shared knowledge...you're in an upper stratum. I NEED a gun, but applying a finish is a secondary function of my business...I'll spend 2 months building a guitar and two weeks finishing the guitar...and most of that time is letting the nitro lac harden bf polishing...I'm hard pressed to know how much to spend...spray exclusively Lac sanding sealer and Nitro Lac..(instrument grade which is a little more flexible) using HVLP 1.4 tip..sanding sealer @ 27psi and Nitro lac @ 31-32...its always hit or miss...still dreamin' of finding the "nice" gun...help

This man is the "Legend" won't find anyone better than this guy.
I’m wondering if someday you’d do a top 10 on just quality and performance. I’m curious to see how these rankings would move

Love how you put it. Especially for people with young familys and morgages who cant aford $700 and up priced guns. And still can get a awesome finish with a working mans priced gun 😁😁
Absolutely man! Some people get a bit carried away by looks and forget that performance is the most important part of a tool.
yep, that would be me! I wont be painting enough to justify buying a pro's gun but I still want a good gun to go along with all the rest of the hard work it takes for an excellent finish.

Hi I am not a spray painter, have done some diy spray work like all your videos, very good info
I Really enjoy your videos, I’m a 4 year painter, I was an iwata man all the way, I started watching you about 2 years ago, bought z gti pro lite and haven’t picked up anything else since. Now I have 3 and don’t see ever changing, may try the DV-1. Thanks agIn!!
my workshop paints parts for the volkswagen industry, and we use Sata guns only because these are one of the fastest guns to put out color material and clearcoats, since we have to paint alot of parts a day we also need reliable guns! and ofc the satas last only like a month or 2 until they start showing wear since they get used 24hours a day
Nice compliation, I'm Team FLG 5 for life, after your last recommendation.May consider buying the Gti pro as I step up my game.My garage results are on my channel.The black hilux was done with the FLG 5 other 2 cars are with an iwata, I'm a perth lad and love that you narrate your vids. Awesome work.
Hello Gunnie, here in Portugal we use 2k direct and waterbourne base, i want to buy a Flg5, someday, can i use it with waterbourne base? Keep up the great work.
Cheers from Portugal.
Hey Gunman, thanks for all the great videos. I wouldn't have had the courage to take on the DIY painting that I have done, without these videos. This one in particular could not have come at a better time. I am buying a new gun and was not sure what to get. After watching this video I decided on either the Iwata Bellaria or the FlG5. I almost bought the Iwata, but found an FLG5 with a 1.3 from MDA Bitec in the UK. Supposedly, Devilbiss made them specifically for them in some type of volume deal. I am a little skeptical, but they are a reputable company so figured I'd give it a try. I am in the US so it's going to take a while to get here, but I will let you know how it goes. Thanks again for all the work you put into these videos.
Great video Liked!! Hi there I have a FLG5 per your previous top 10 video. Now Im trying to get a better gun for light metallics and silvers and still be affordable. Would you recommend w400 bellaria? Or what would be your choice?
love the vids mate always learning heaps keep up the good work.
ive done a few jobs with my flg5 now. as a beginner I picked it up followed the settings you recommended and just started painting. I really cant believe how easy it is to use. the first job was a bumper in red metallic. I did get some orange peel due to not thinning my clear correctly but matched spot on after a polished. for anyone looking to buy a first gun its been easy to pick up and learn with the Devilbiss flg5
Awesome! I'll have to look into it. Here in Indianapolis, Indiana. We're using mostly Sata, and Iwata for Collision, Custom, and Production. It would be a good idea to invest in multiple brand's. Now I lay primer on a 1.4, base in 1.3.
Top stuff Gunny, have you thought about doing a Top 5 Mini-Gun review??
He will say buy the ANI R150, I love mine
Always honest in your reviews on spray guns and teaching methods
Love that you got your own gun brother!!!! Keep killing it with all your videos, much love from California!!!! 🤘🏼
I’ve been using my devilbiss FLG for base and clear for years and was hoping to see some recommendations for new guns only to see it at your number 3 haha. Guess I’ll keep using it for longer
I’m a dedicated watcher for California! Awesome as always! 😎👍🏼
I've been using the tekna pro lite for base and clear for the last 4 years,everyday,and I absolutely love it!
great video, as a DIYer, now in the market for a new gun. just looking at the Devilbiss prolite, got a couple of jags need paint.
Good review I must say I have a devilbiss flg5 gun and it sprays really well cheer gunny
I am using sata jet 5000 rp 1.3 at work for 2k polyurethane topcoats. Two years so far and about 30kg of paint in everyday use makes this gun so reliable.
Interesting list. I somewhat feel the 3m accuspray should be on a top 10 somewhere just because of how much value you get out of it. You don't have to baby it, super easy cleanup and easy change of fluid size. You get a primer, sealer and a decent base gun. I mostly use it for primer and sealer though. What do you think?
Great list Gunny, I personally own 5 of these guns. Although I might have a slightly different order, I think you most definitely have the #1 position correct. Have loved my Tekna pro-lite. Even since it was demoted from base to single stage, it was nice to just change fluid tip and have it continue to smash out beautiful finishes. So much versatility built into that gun, you can't go wrong with one.
Lph400 iwata for clear hands down. Gti pro lite for base coats tekna for metallics and pearls end of story 35 plus years master painter cheers from cali👊
I tossed up between GTI and Bellaria a few years back now. I was using Iwata W400 at work for painting the locomotives and for me it was a nice progression with awesome fine air cap. Came with a 1.3 mm tip and been fine for direct gloss,base and clear. Cost me over $400 AU I'm sure though..😂👍
so you are using 1.3 for base as well?
@@mura0 yes I've used same setup to this day, painted quite a few metallics and pearls. You could give 1.4 a go but for myself the 1.3 is always consistent with great results. Love the Bellaria still! Tony's Refinishing on TH-cam uses same gun on a few of his videos too.
Love your videos! I heard you say in a older video you actually dont prefer hvlp but have to use them for work. Do you still feel that way, or has hvlp gotten good enough to be what you really prefer now? What is your favorite non hvlp if you wanted the paint as level as you can get it? I've heard due to higher pressures that some other types of guns can level the clear better than hvlp. Thank you for this channel! It's a huge inspiration to me to help me pick up a gun and paint!
Oh man, my Harbor Freight gun didn't make the list... lol Not a professional whatsoever, but if I did paint for a living, I would fund for the best gun I could afford because I believe your end product speaks for your abilities and capabilities. Thumbs Up!
That's it mate. I guess what I try doing is letting people know that paying more doesn't always mean good value.
Hi gunman nice updated list... what is your opinion on anti static guns after tack ragging? Do you use them in your workshop?
I use a anti stat gun before sealer, base, and clear. I have very little dust and some no buffers frequently
Got 4 Gpi's and 1 flg 5, great guns and excellent vid as always gunman
Excellent video Gunny! Very clear explanation of each gun and some some great choices. Cheers, Ray
It will be hard to get me away from my ANI R150 and F160. I’m just a hobbyist but they work fantastic!
wow, I have painted my "masterpeace" at masterschool in Germany with a DeVilbiss GTI in 2000 :-) It was a BMW 325I I loved this gun :-)
I’ve got a few GTI’s they use a lot of paint going get the lite
Thanks for taking the time to help us all out!
Gunman. I love your videos! I'd like to see a review of the best clear guns, for glass finishes!
Thankyou for the link as an awesome informative vid sorry to as the basics but a bit of a newbie would you say lvlp guns are ok for metallics
Yes definitely mate
i know it’s an old video but we would also like to see the top 10 best guns that gives you the best finish for base & top ten for clear coat if money is not an issue. it’s great that you put value for money first & that’s great to see for us garage workshop folks that value our hard earned money but sometimes we’re curious to know which guns are the best at what they do were priority is finish not price. thanks
I'll second Jason's request, would love a top-10 or even 5 strictly on 1)performance and 2) build quality. Mainly "performance" as the only guide since the end user can decide how much of a factor cost would be in their application.

I just watched your previous video yesterday and was like, "Man, I wish he'd come back out with a new one soon"... Weird timing, but I can't say I'm disappointed! :D
Mate loving your videos. Helps me a lot during my learning process. I am looking for a spray gun for sealer, normal basecoats, clear and urethane candys. Kind of a allrounder. Could you recommend me a gun as an Allrounder. Spraying about 5-10 cars a year. Budget would be about 300-400 aud. Would be much appreciated.
Thanks Gunny!
I appreciate your channels and all the vids. I find them usefull and inspiring.
Keep up the good work.
Love your videos man! If money doesn't matter only quality of the finish. which would be your top 2 guns? WS400 and SATA X5500 ? thanks
They'd definitely be up there
Hey Gunny great video, looks like I did right by buying the Tekna ProLite :)
What fluid tip & air cap combo do you usually for spraying basecoat and clear with the ProLite? I used 1.4 with TE10 for base, and 1.3 with TE20 for clear and it turned out pretty well but just wondering how you do it.
Thanks
Thanks Gunny for another great vid... just a quick Q... I've got the Gunny edition Pro Lite in Green and will use the TE10 1.3 for base. Would you recommend me using he 1.2 tip for HS clear to achieve a flatter glass like finish or stick to the 1.3?
Awesome man cheers. So, I'd only go 1.2 if you have thinned the clear at least 10% all clears are slightly different so it's hard to say for sure but personally I'd start with the 1.3, I like a nice amount of material on there, so it'll last longer, gives you more to buff into also.
Iqbal Ahmed - look at the T110 cap
Rusty Zipper cheers mate, will do 👍🏼

@@unlimitedservices3170 thanks for the tip, the Iwata is out of my budget range at the moment, I'm only a novice at this, but will have a look at the video reviews 👍
Thanks gunnie for your straight talk. I noticed in an older vid you had the work zone gun. You forgot to put that in you too ten 😂
at last ,been waiting for this with anticipation - thanks gunnie
Hope it doesn't disappoint.
@@TheGunmanChannel very unlikely,thanks as always,your content is the 'go to source' mate
Love the devilbiss pro lite here in the US, how do you like it for base coat, what’s your choice when it comes to a base coat gun ?
Do you have a supplier you can recommend in continental US?? I'm in California. There are a bunch of options online, but also worried about fake guns out there! Crazy. Stay safe Gunman. Really enjoy your channel.
Hi Gunnie, I have a Sata jet 5000 RP 1.3 phaser, I have had it for a while now and just started using it (trying to) a couple months ago. Going from the 4000 to 1.4 to.it was really hard because it always seemed to be a pain to adjust. I recently looked at the needle head on while I pulled the trigger and it bends downwards! Have you had this issue with any of your santas? I sent it out to sata but they did nothing to it other then clean it and replace some seals. They said it sprays perfectly fine (BS). Also I never dropped any part of the gun so there should be no reason for it to have a bent needle.
I am extremely happy with my Devilbiss made in mexico version you recommended a few years ago, I don't spray paint a lot, I used it the other day to spray 2 pack base on a tractor bonnet, Devilbiss guns are well engineered inside compared to the cheap and nasty ones
Great unbiased reviews .as always thank you
great review on the guns I am a devilbiss fan too I want to get the dv1 base for sure I have sprayed with it and really liked it
Great job on the reviews and all of your videos. I've learned so much. Keep em coming !
Hi, this video and all other I watch are so good, thank you,
I’m very interested to start painting some of my car I buy at auction, I’m trying to buy a good gun to spray in my house garage, I don’t have a shop,
which gun you recommend me?
Outstanding video, I'm looking to upgrade my current gun and your video has helped me make up my mind.
Nice guns, great info on all of them Gunny.
mine is the 3m accuspray very easy clean up and very controllable with 1.3 to 2.0 and cups
I've got 2 teknas 1 flg5 for my home shop and they are flawless
Wow, love the spray guns and a very good review, llove ittt!!!
Nice I bought the Tekna Watching your videos
Nice videos mate! Thx for all your uploads! I learned a lot from your videos.
Much respect for all your shared knowledge...you're in an upper stratum. I NEED a gun, but applying a finish is a secondary function of my business...I'll spend 2 months building a guitar and two weeks finishing the guitar...and most of that time is letting the nitro lac harden bf polishing...I'm hard pressed to know how much to spend...spray exclusively Lac sanding sealer and Nitro Lac..(instrument grade which is a little more flexible) using HVLP 1.4 tip..sanding sealer @ 27psi and Nitro lac @ 31-32...its always hit or miss...still dreamin' of finding the "nice" gun...help
