congratulations mr. hobbies nice work and teaching!
Thanks mate 👍
Hi Pete that lays base and clear really well good fan pattern good atomization nice uniformed finish 👍👍👍
Hi Dean, yes, really nice, the the same as the Slim Kombat HTE but cheaper which can't be bad, a great value gun for sure, cheers buddy 👍
Hi Pete, great video, and love the colour of the paint, looks like a metallic version of China blue 😁 gun looks like it sprayed really nice, I didn’t notice much over spray myself I thought it looked minimal with my untrained eye. Cheers Pete.
Hi Steve, yes, very similar, it's off the BMW Minis, maybe a thought for the Cavalier when your feeling adventurous 😬, the gun is very good, and they are, in the scheme of things, not that expensive, I got them as a set with the Kombat on black Friday, the overspray, as you say, was very well controlled, by contrast, today I've been using the DV1 Clear gun which makes loads of it, really noticeable, thanks mate 👍
Hello Pete hope you are good mate, looks like it did a really nice job of laying the base and the clear. I’m not that familiar with the Walcom range but they definitely look like they do a great job
Hi Roger, all good her mate, hope it's the same for you, yes, a really good gun, sold as a midi but very much full size, really nice to use and not that expensive considering you get the gun, case, pot and a full spares kit all in 👍
Like your voids, your good painter
Thanks Ralph, much appreciated 👍
Hey Pete, interesting video as you have confirmed what I always thought that the Slim Xlite is the same as the Slim Kombat, when I won my Walcom I had the choice between the Kombat or the Xlite but I went for the Kombat as it was a limited edition gun, it's a great gun but does feel a bit plasticky in the hand as it has the Kevlar body which to me feels a bit cheap.
The Xlite laid the base and clear very well mate, the finish on the clearcoat is spot on and as you say it's a good gun for the home user. My Sata has arrived and I see what you mean about it feeling a bit agricultural I think you could use it to knock nails in then use it for clearcoat and it will still be going strong, going to give it a clean in thinners and give it a try in the morning 🙏👍
Hi John, I totally get what your saying re the Kombat feeling plasticky, it does feel like that, one of the drawbacks of a none metal body and the lack of weight also adds to that feeling. Hope you like the Sata, be interesting to see what you think 👍
Yeah while it sprays really well it just doesn't feel like a quality gun but I know it is it is, should have got the Xlite but never mind I'm sure the Sata will more than make up for it, cheers mate 🙏👍
In Brazil Xlite sells very well. Here Kombat costs about 50% more than Xlite.
Hi buddy, that's a huge difference in price considering the Xlite is just as good, do you have one?
@@peteshobbies5383 I tried it and I liked it. But I find it strange that the head is so small, it looks more like a mini gun
Hi Pete, as usual exellent job, have you heated up the clear? Because mine at such low temperatures doesn't flow and i get problems...
Thanks Cristian, yes, i heat the mixed clear up to around 30c in a microwave, i do the same with base and primer as well, really helps, It's not recommended as you shouldn't do it for obvious reasons but I haven't had any problems, I go 10sec per 100ml, i did a video on the difference warming the clear makes, I'll put the link below but it really helps it flow and means you don't need to add thinners 👍

@@peteshobbies5383 thanks Pete!👍

Hey Pete 👋, another great video 👍 I was actually just looking at this gun online with the 1.7 setup. My compressor produces 7.3 CFM (206 l/pm). 5.4 CFM (153 l/pm) Free Air delivery. I would be spraying kitchen cabinet doors which as you know are fairly small. Not so much constant spraying, plenty of breaks here and there. Do you reckon the compressor would keep up?
Hi buddy, what size is the holding tank?, the compressor wouldn't keep up as these use around 260lm but if the holding tank is a reasonable size it would help
@@peteshobbies5383 It a SIP Silent Compressor with a 50l tank Pete.
Hi buddy, you would probably get around 25 to 30 seconds of spraying from your 50lt tank before it would kick in from being fully charged, then you compressor wouldn't keep up with the gun so you would get probably 20 or 30 seconds more before the pressure would be too low to carry on , would this be enough for what your doing, only you can will know
@@peteshobbies5383 That doesn't sound too good Pete 😒 I can't really increase the compressor size as I need it to be mobile and don't want anything too big. Looks like I will have to find a more suitable gun, maybe the LPH 300 which seems to use a lot less air.
The LPH300 uses around 230lm of air, so just a bit less than the Walcom, so i still think you will struggle, I would think you would get one door done, then wait a minute or so, then another and so on, depends if that would work for you
Hi Pete, can you tell me where you buy your spray guns from. I would like to purchass a few things as I want to get into spraying at home. Many thanks
Hi mate, I get them from different suppliers, often on Ebay, sometimes used but good condition, the Walcom slim Xlite i got from Walcom UK as they had a deal on for black Friday
It's a like from me pete cracking little gun that whats it like with clear coat do you think is it as good as the kiwami 4
Thanks Andrew, it's certainly in the same league as the Kiwami4 but given the choice i would go Kiwami4, if people's budgets are limited this is a great buy as it's cheaper and comes with the cup, gauge, case and full spares kit 👍
Hi pete just ordered this gun, given the price range how does it perform in comparison to the kiwami4 BA4J?
Hi James, it's a very good gun for the money, it doesn't put out as much material as the Kiwami4 for the same tip size but it has a smaller cap and head so you expect that, it can produce good results so isn't left behind
hello pete how are you, is there a difference in the finish between the xlight and the kombat? do they work exactly the same? or the kombat is better? greetings from Argentina...

Hi German, yes, they spray the same, they do have different cup fittings, the caps aren't interchangeable because the thread is slightly different but the center part is the same, so is the tip, so , yes, they spray the same 👍
those of the threads knew it because I saw it in your video of the unboxing of both guns, my doubt was in the spraying, thank you for the answer Thank you very much and greetings attentive to your videos from Argentina 👋👋👋
Thanks German, greetings to you in Argentina 🇦🇷 👍
A Cracking video, INDEED 👍
Thank you mate, much appreciated 👍
hello Pete hope you are fine, for you what is the best? the ANI f160 1.3 or this one? I´m painting some cars at home (like 2 or 3 cars a year) with two 100 liters compressors.
cheers mate
Hi Wilson, I think i would pick the ANI F160 1.3, if the price was the same think i would pick the Walcom
@@peteshobbies5383 so for the same price the walcom is a better gun? Thanks for the fast reply
Yes, I prefer the Walcom but in the UK they are 50% more than the F160, i think they are a bit nicer than the F160 but not that much!
@@peteshobbies5383 thanks Pete, I was undecided between the two because of the size of the fan. But now I am more determined and from what I've seen in several places the ANI usually has some that fail and were i live the walcom is
a little cheaper.. I have a very old second hand SATA jet 2000D but it has several leaks and doesn't work well with my compressor..
@@wilsonalmeida8180 No worries, if the Walcom is cheaper it got to be the better buy
Hi I have bought this gun what’s the best settings for base and clear for fluid
Hi Joe, for clear, I normally use full fan and full fluid at 2 bar. For base, it depends on colour, substrate, and temperature, but if you start on full fan, half fluid at 1.8 bar, you can go from there, that with the HTE cap
Thanks Pete I watched a video on how to set wide open on this gun bit different from traditional guns can u confirm that, I’ve Always pulled trigger and turn fluid in till it stops
Hi Joe, this is no different. Full fluid is simply the most you can pull the trigger back without the fluid needle adjuster stopping it,
I always wind it all the way in, no finger needed on the trigger but you can if you want, then back it off, so if I say 2 turns out, it's 2 turns out from fluid fully in, some do it the other way, which works ok as well.
So they hold the trigger and adjust the fluid completely out until it just starts to move the needle in, then they go in 2 turns, so there 2 turn setting will be different from mine, if the needle has more or less than 4 full turns whilst moving the trigger.
There's no right or wrong way. It's just what works for you. Certainly, this gun is no different from any other
Hay Pete what do ya think is better this or the ani f160,🤔
That a difficult one, the ANI is cheaper and more of a full size gun than this, it's a little more of everything, both spray really well so nothing between them performance wise except, as i say, the ANI is a bit more, so bigger fan, more material for the same tip etc
@@peteshobbies5383 cheers mate
Why did you do full fluid on Xligth and 3.5 turns on Kombat? Doesn’t that affect atomization? Is Xlight better at atomizing than Kombat?
Hi buddy, it will normally be because of the substrate rather than the gun, if the surface has a few repairs or the paint underneath is newer I put less on and just do more coats, this helps combat any reactions that may take place, less of a problem with waterbourn paints but mostly I use solvent.
The Kombat and Xlite spray the same 👍
@@peteshobbies5383 awesome! Thank you for fast answer. I’m having trouble with atomization on both my guns Kombat and Xlight, finish has orange peel, and I’m starting to think it’s due to VHS clear coat from Master. Tried today to put it on really wet, I got orange peel even on huge run that I created on purpose.
Are you reducing the clear down at all? , what's the temperature when you're spraying? ,
@@peteshobbies5383 per TDS it goes without any thinner. UHS goes with only 5% thinner. Was thinking of reducing, but then I can switch to cheaper HS?
Temperature when spraying in garage is around 20-25. Today when testing it was little later in the day and it was 27c.
Most say 5 to 10% , it sounds like the viscosity is too high, I was wondering if the clear was starting to go off. If it's warm and you use a fast hardener, it can start going off, a slower hardener, and adding a slow reducer may help.
Normally, UHS is designed for a tack coat and then a full coat. Sorry if I'm saying stuff you already know, I'm just thinking out loud, really
