Thanks for the review. I switched from sata to devillbiss about a year ago and I am very pleased with the performance of devilbiss guns. I am also very happy to find out that you are a brother in Christ. God bless you bro!
You are spot on, I spray with the Tekna Pro lite and a TE 10 set up. The results are mind blowing for cost of this spray gun. I’ve been told I do not have enough air flow in my inflatable booth for air caps 20 & 25. Great vid, thanks
I use satajet 5000s on both basecoat and clear. But I love the versatility of the tekna. I leave everything wide open at 29 psi and I get the best of results. Best gun for the money Imo.
People, please watch the entire video before asking questions that he answers in the video. Then try reading some comments so you don't ask the same question 30 people already asked. Thanks for taking your time to make the videos brother. Great work!
Nathan Wilson amen 🙏 brother, well said!! I was thinking about posting a similar comment but since I read the comments first and saw you already did it there’s no sense in posting it again. It’s kinda amazing how something like that happens and it’s so easy to avoid. Take care buddy
Anyone who works as a painter in a high volume bodyshop, knows all too well it's a stressful job, and no matter how easy it looks. It's not easy when your at it everyday! I'm 18 years doing it this month. And I still look at these videos because I'm always trying to learn new things. Good video man! And a very nice finish.
Excellent video/review on this gun…I saw this one in paint store for $649 with no cup…which led me to look for a review on it which lead me to motivated painters..keep doing the great work and stay motivated bro…the Lord will always pull you through…even in the valleys in life we are not forsaken!!
We switched to PPG about a month ago and I've been driving myself a little crazy trying to pick the right gun and setup for base and clear not to mention the weather and it's affects.im using 730 clear which has optional reducer and trying to dial that in.your videos once again have been a big help.its so frustrating that 5 pounds of pressure, tip size ,distance, speed, reducer,and tempature can change everything.keep up the great work!!
Mitchell Ferre Man, give the 1.2 a try... Wow, like glass! I used the 1.3/TE20 aswell... but recent did some parts and gave the 1.2/TE20 a try and wow couldnt believe how nice it layed down... and i was only between 20-23 psi Have yet to experiment with the TE10 cap
Man better have a good clay bar for all that overspray on the other side of the car you didn’t cover. How you got the gun setup? Fluid and fan, psi at the gun? Job turned out great. I just bought one also and wanted to see how you had it setup
Everyone thinks the other side of the car is not bagged but they dont realize they could be using over spray masking wich is a liquid u can spary over and later wash off with water and its soapy so it cleans the car.
Hey bro,hope your enjoying the devilbiss.over hear in the uk we have the gti pro lite,same as tekna pro lite,except we have the cheater air kick valve at the bottom.as I’m lead to believe the air cap your using is between the hv30 hvlp and the te20.my favourite air cap is the te20 for hs clears,I also have the t110 air cap which is nice but slows down a lot.the clear we use spies hecker 8034 is very thick with vhs hardner.just got to play around with settings to your spraying style.one thing tho I have found on the pro lite is any more than 2bar/29psi it starts to split the fan .ive used iwatas,sata,devilbiss,all great guns but I always revert back to the prolite,just what I’m more used too I guess for my style.All the best bud love watching your vids.and big respect to you from fellow painter👍🏻👍🏻
+Tim reeks thanks so much for the info brother! Yeah specially the tekna basecoat ! If you go over 20 psi on that one it goes crazy and wants to punch you haha
I believe that the tekna is basically a gti pro lite that you are using there... It is offered in the famous "gold" color as seen with the gunman and his videos.. GTI pro lite and tekna are outfitted in the same thread patterns.. so air cap sizes are universal for both platforms. Tekna being first offered with the "TE" (te 10, te 20, te 25, te30) air caps. For what ever reason CA only allows the TE 30 for use in the vast majority of the state... Great video man!!!
I have the TE25 & HV25 & can't find any other gun to match it but I adjust my style and products to create the finish I want, I've tried dv1 with all caps, iwata, SATA cc, & just going to stick with the Pro lite which I have ever cap & fluid tips , As for the new sata cc I don't get what all the hype is about, infact it's the most uncomfortable gun I've ever used & wastes too much paint. Give me your thoughts anyone please. Graham UK
Love my Tekna clear gun. It’s just a good gun that atomizes clear really well like a WS400, Walcom, Sagola. Only complaint would be it’s pretty loud, ear buds fo sho lol
Hey bro great work good technique ,you and the Aussie gunman are very similar in methods and finish ,it's really a pleasure viewing both you guys perform 👍✌️😎
Very interesting..."80% trigger"... why not not dial back your fluids and pressure to equal a full trigger pull and the air-horns working to the best of their ability? Not ''attacking'' you Gabriel, just wanted your thought process on this... ty for your uploads... Also, your voice in your mask... have you considered using a ''rodes mic'' with an ipad? Then you simply sync them in software - no editing besides sync... you will eliminate the muffled voice from talking via your mask to your head gear... tip: Watch out for mic rubbing also on your fabric... I agree, I like this gun at the 30 plus psi 30-33psi - super clean finish. I also spray CLOSE, not too far away and material is not maxed out - dialed back from full about 3/4 a turn.
Thanks brother! Sometimes I'm on the fly so using my finger is super quick. I'm trying to keep it on budget and not have to sync the audio with more equipment. I guess is something I should try thanks brother !
I always enjoy your most helpful videos, I have the Devilbiss Tekna and Tekna copper for clear but am not satisfied with the copper. In your opinion do you consider the clear coat gun a better choice than the copper for clear? Also I want to say all praise be to God for all He has done!
I'm pretty sure that the TE25 will fit the pro Lite. It would be nice to see if that changes the way it sprays. Try it on a bumper and let us know. Did you see a reduction with material use with the lower pressures? Thanks for the high quality and informative videos!
+Kent Buehrer thanks so much man! Yeah as you could tell on the video the overspray was a lot less so I would say yeah the material is using less. I will try that cap switch
MOTIVATED PAINTERS Hi Gabriel, have you tried TE25 air cap on the Tekna Prolite? If you did, did you get same results as if you were using Tekna Clearcoat gun? Thank You so much for your videos!
Ok. Gabriel, I love the videos and am subscribed, but I just have to ask....How do you not bag the car with plastic sheeting? Doesn't all that clear coat overspray mist get all over the car?
Hey bro, love your work!!!! Doing a great job. Hey Gabriel, I love your witnessing bro!! He so is our ultimate boss and we do everything unto Him with a spirit of excellence and you do just that man! God bless you Gabriel and keep up the great work for His Kingdom. Bless you
I’ve been a gun man subscriber for some time now, it’s where I learned to spray actually. But being a Christian sometimes the language here and there I could do with out. I stumbled upon this video and gave it a shot. First thoughts were very good technique the finishes look good, but the thing that made me hit subscribe was the message at 7:41. We need more of that in these last days. God bless you! And for everyone “ no one comes to the father but through me”- Jesus Christ
Gabriel, love your vids bro. Quick question tho: Why do you not have plastic over like the rear of the car? Do you not get overspray all over the rear bumper? Thanks
Hi Gabriel,I'm very thankful on how you compared this to the Pro-lite. I bought a "Lite" after watching the Gunman and found it to be a pretty good gun, but have always had problems with the orange peel looking worse than I would like. I've changed the caps, tips, and pressure, with some success, but was starting to think I might want to try another gun for a smoother glass-like finish with my clears. Not sure whether to go with the Tekna or try one of the Iwata's. I would love to have a gun that operates at a lower pressure so I don't overwork my compressor, and I can go slow with to watch the laydown pattern. I'm a small shop with only one car in at a time so no need to be painting the clear real fast. Your thoughts would be deeply appreciated and don't worry, I'd never come back and say you gave me bad information or advice. Just looking for your initial thoughts and what your gut tells you. And I know you say it's only your opinion as you say. But it's one I highly value!!Thanks my friend!
+RPMX4 to be honest I still use my iwataws400 it is a great gun and I like the fine fine spray and finish it gives. There is my shirt answer 😊 haha hope that helps! I have never liked the prolite for clear
Hi Gabriel,No worries my friend, at all. LOL I appreciate the time you give me. It's truly affecting my life in a so positive way. And I'm deeply grateful.I was more wondering if the Tekna "Clear" gun would give a finer mist or fog pattern over the Iwata, but sounds like your Iwata does the job and is what I'm more looking for. I'm going to start hunting for one here in Halifax NS. Thanks Gabe!!! You're the best!.
Hey really nice job as always. I've been thinking of buying a prolite for a while. This makes be want to even more. But in your opinion, is it an efficient gun compared to the ws400. Did you use less, more or same amount of clear.
+Ramcharran Khoon Khoon so this gun is the same as the gti but not the prolite I have a prolite and it's different. If I would choose between a prolite and an iwata ws400 14hd I would take the iwata. For clear anyways.
Bought this gun after seeing how awesome it lays out in your videos, can't seem to get it right with the cheap thin clear my boss has me spray! Upol 2882 universal. Trying the 1.2 next and lowering my air pressure, hopefully that will solve my problems...other than buying a bit better clear. I just want to slick it out and do a good job. Do you reduce your clear?
Get it figured out? I used it for almost a week and tried 29-30 psi with Glasurit vlear, and im not impressed with the heavy peel it leaves. Ive heard it sprays better at lower pressure?
What’s the difference between the Te 25 and the 20 and 30 that come with the regular tekna pro lite? I’m guessing besides the color of the gun the air caps the only thing different? I use my tekna everyday and have found I like the finishes from the 20 air cap much better than the 30 or maybe I just don’t know to get the desired finishes from the 30 so for me the extra air flow from the 25 wouldn’t be as ideal I don’t think. Also I agree my tekna does best with the 1.4 I also have the 1.3 and 1.5 but the 1.4 with the TE 20 is the happy middle ground I think
+seth kremis the biggest difference is with the atomazation if you search devilbiss aircap chart on Google it shows the higher number cap the smaller droplets. Thanks for the comment bro I really appreciate that!
I cant understand because my mother language is Greek and im try my best in english when i want to explain something to someone!anyway i like your joke!😄😜😃
MARIO: A few of us noticed that before and Gabriel is using a liquid solution that is sprayed on the car that the clear and paints won't bleed through and hit the cars paint. It acts like a big blanket or sheet of clear liquid plastic for the car that basically washes off when you are done. Saves a lot of taping, paper, time, etc.
Hey love your channel, I have learned so much about auto painting but I'm still a beginner. I have a quick question. Have you used Lvlp, Ive been using one lately (can't use hvlp because of a small compressor). There's not a lot of resources for lvlp online, I'm not too sure what to set psi to, with hvlp you can search it up to get a reference and fine tune to your likings. But lvlp there's seems to be little info. Do you have any recommendations, thanks!
I haven't really used an lvlp before but I would say the same applies you find what works best for the kind of job you are doing. Look at what the gun is doing and if it's to peeely raise pressure. Or slow down and viseversa
+Tosh twentythree I haven't really done anything actual analysis on that but since I'm using less PSI to spray with it it equals to a little less clear than if I was using an iwata but not sure is a huge difference
Clint, how do you like thd gun, and what clear you spraying with it? Tried TE25 with 1.3 tip, running 30psi and Glasurit clear, and im not happy with the heavy peel it leaves...
Any idea how this gun compares to the tekna copper? Currently using the copper for base and clear , looking to get dedicated sealer, base, and clear guns
Have you sprayed ppg vc570p clear with the tekna copper gun using a 7E7 air cap 1.4 needle? Settings you prefer on this gun with solventbourne basecoat/clearcoat? Thank you, god bless.
Really surprised at how small that fan pattern looks! I just used my Tekna Prolite earlier today to shoot a tailgate on my truck, and the fan pattern looks huge compared to that... How do you like the digital gauge? Mine seems really inconsistent... I keep having to calibrate it, but im having issues with it... Sometimes it just shows zero, and i have to go by sound...
@@scottherr642 do you know if there is a problem to paint with the prolite without the thin baffle ring..what the difference to paint with it or without it?
I just bought a iwata ls400-02 1.4 tip what's the difference between the ws400-01? And is this a good clear gun *Ok it's model ls400-1402 one of the new one ls400 12.06 fan. Gun #5815
MOTIVATED PAINTERS The gun and the cap looks brand new when I googled it it says a iwata ls400 clear gun with the 400-02 hvlp air cap looks identical to the ws400-01 cap
Thx a bunch! If you were to do a super flat show car clear with this gun/tip would you suggest the larger or smaller tip? And higher psi? Thx for all u do! Love the channel
Thanks for the review. I switched from sata to devillbiss about a year ago and I am very pleased with the performance of devilbiss guns. I am also very happy to find out that you are a brother in Christ. God bless you bro!

Man i love that message you left toward the middle there. It spoke to me. God bless
Thanks brother ! I'm glad I can do something related to my name !! Haha Gabriel 😅😉😉
beautiful spray work. you can really see that booth sucking up the fine mist. If you were outside it would be over spray city at 29.

Very nice review....looks great Gabriel
I use the 1.2 with the te10 air cap at 30-32psi it atomizes the clear so good. Lays out the ec520 flat.
I'm spraying 530 and I hated it with the TE25. But now that I tried the TE10! I love it!
I’ve never sprayed with one but I see a lot of great reviews on it.
Loved your comment about Jesus Christ, I to live for the Lord and use my abilities to help people out in need. Keep on doing what you do and God bless
That's so awesome and refreshing to hear !!!
Amen brotha! Just found your channel and I’m subscribed it’s crazy I’m kinda going thru some family issues and that message really hit me Thanks!

+Ramcharran Khoon Khoon so this gun is the same as the gti but not the prolite I have a prolite and it's different. If I would choose between a prolite and an iwata ws400 14hd I would take the iwata. For clear anyways.
Oh it looked like the prolite
Bought this gun after seeing how awesome it lays out in your videos, can't seem to get it right with the cheap thin clear my boss has me spray! Upol 2882 universal. Trying the 1.2 next and lowering my air pressure, hopefully that will solve my problems...other than buying a bit better clear. I just want to slick it out and do a good job. Do you reduce your clear?
Ppg clear is reduced 3:1:2
3:1:1 sorry !
Get it figured out?
I used it for almost a week and tried 29-30 psi with Glasurit vlear, and im not impressed with the heavy peel it leaves. Ive heard it sprays better at lower pressure?
I like your technique , but don't you forgetting the plastic cover for over spray??
+Jaime Villegas I use spray mask my friend 😀
What’s the difference between the Te 25 and the 20 and 30 that come with the regular tekna pro lite? I’m guessing besides the color of the gun the air caps the only thing different? I use my tekna everyday and have found I like the finishes from the 20 air cap much better than the 30 or maybe I just don’t know to get the desired finishes from the 30 so for me the extra air flow from the 25 wouldn’t be as ideal I don’t think. Also I agree my tekna does best with the 1.4 I also have the 1.3 and 1.5 but the 1.4 with the TE 20 is the happy middle ground I think
+seth kremis the biggest difference is with the atomazation if you search devilbiss aircap chart on Google it shows the higher number cap the smaller droplets. Thanks for the comment bro I really appreciate that!
clear gun has different baffle setup-3 parts where prolite has 2 look it up and see for yourself. it is more than a cap change.
V sport xts. Looks like you laid the smack down brother
Nice job. Are you in the States? My Tekna Prolite came in black only and with the TE10 and TE20 air caps. Never heard of the TE25.
I'm in Canada
One question my friend!Why you dont mask the whole car?isn't risky to overspray the whole car with laka?
+marios andreou it has spray mask 😀
I cant understand because my mother language is Greek and im try my best in english when i want to explain something to someone!anyway i like your joke!😄😜😃
+marios andreou 😊😊 blessings!
MARIO: A few of us noticed that before and Gabriel is using a liquid solution that is sprayed on the car that the clear and paints won't bleed through and hit the cars paint. It acts like a big blanket or sheet of clear liquid plastic for the car that basically washes off when you are done. Saves a lot of taping, paper, time, etc.
+RPMX4 thanks brother!!!!
Hey love your channel, I have learned so much about auto painting but I'm still a beginner. I have a quick question. Have you used Lvlp, Ive been using one lately (can't use hvlp because of a small compressor). There's not a lot of resources for lvlp online, I'm not too sure what to set psi to, with hvlp you can search it up to get a reference and fine tune to your likings. But lvlp there's seems to be little info. Do you have any recommendations, thanks!
I haven't really used an lvlp before but I would say the same applies you find what works best for the kind of job you are doing. Look at what the gun is doing and if it's to peeely raise pressure. Or slow down and viseversa
Didn't mean to hit the dislike button, watch and like all your vids, especially like this one seein you spray with the Tekna
+slie121 HAHAHA I cried. But I'm getting over it thanks for confusing HAHAHAHAHAH
Have you noticed a difference in the amount of clear that you use per panel // per job ?
+Tosh twentythree I haven't really done anything actual analysis on that but since I'm using less PSI to spray with it it equals to a little less clear than if I was using an iwata but not sure is a huge difference
6 years late but its still 🔨 TIME!!
Wow that booth is crazy how you can paint that fender right behind the un-masked part of the car without getting over spray on it.
Nnononononno the car is spray masked 😁😀
Did you get a chance to try the hv30 cap? if so what is the difference? I ordered this gun super excited to try it out, thanks for the great review!
No brother I didn't
Clint, how do you like thd gun, and what clear you spraying with it?
Tried TE25 with 1.3 tip, running 30psi and Glasurit clear, and im not happy with the heavy peel it leaves...
@@splash5974 Try the TE20 cap and possibly reducing the clear.
@@jaykrom852
Put a TE20 on the Tekna Clear coat?
I switched the 1.3 for 1.2 and shoot around 26psi
Better, but not crazy bout the gun.
@@jaykrom852
I do reduce the clear 10%
Any idea how this gun compares to the tekna copper? Currently using the copper for base and clear , looking to get dedicated sealer, base, and clear guns
Probably identical
Nice Job as always but, quick question do you get overspray on the rest of the vehichle?
+pitlion1 bit of orange peel!
I believe he used liquid spray masking in rest of the car
Just WoW!!!
To GOD B The GLORY!!!🙏🙏🙏
Have you sprayed ppg vc570p clear with the tekna copper gun using a 7E7 air cap 1.4 needle? Settings you prefer on this gun with solventbourne basecoat/clearcoat? Thank you, god bless.
I don't think I have !!
Really surprised at how small that fan pattern looks!
I just used my Tekna Prolite earlier today to shoot a tailgate on my truck, and the fan pattern looks huge compared to that...
How do you like the digital gauge?
Mine seems really inconsistent...
I keep having to calibrate it, but im having issues with it... Sometimes it just shows zero, and i have to go by sound...
+splash there is less overspray seems like the pattern is more consistent. I hate devilbiss gauges haha
MOTIVATED PAINTERS
Glad you like the gun...
What do you recommend for an accurate gauge?
+splash I haven't found one that I love yet
MOTIVATED PAINTERS
Well keep us posted when you find a really good one...
Im sure theres alot of us that would love to know
I wonder what the difference between the devilbiss tekna clearcoat gun with the te25 or hv25 and the devilbiss gti prolite with the t110
+Lee Gaspard me too haha I think a quick Google Search will tell you devilbiss has a chart you can find online
different baffle entirely-3 part baffle on clear gun, 2 part on prolite
@@scottherr642 do you know if there is a problem to paint with the prolite without the thin baffle ring..what the difference to paint with it or without it?
the fan wide open right?..may i ask your gun setting on the needle fluid?..how many turn u use on 25 and 30psi?..
Enough to touch your finger from pulling the trigger all the way
I just bought a iwata ls400-02 1.4 tip what's the difference between the ws400-01? And is this a good clear gun
*Ok it's model ls400-1402 one of the new one ls400 12.06 fan. Gun #5815
+Shauns Dsign I believe is an older model I think it has a smaller fan pattern but I could totally be wrong!!
MOTIVATED PAINTERS
The gun and the cap looks brand new when I googled it it says a iwata ls400 clear gun with the 400-02 hvlp air cap looks identical to the ws400-01 cap
Hola buen video lastima que no entiendo nada inglés jeje resumen iwata vs tekna cual es para ti la de mejor saludos
+sergio Nuñez tengo una iwata no hay major or peor Pero si tuviera que escoger me quedo con mi iwata
Thanks again Gabriel
+Colmos81 😁🙏
Why only half the car masked is that some kind of super booth
Really good with the gun buddy!!!
How different does this spray in comparison to the black Tekna pro lite? Thanks much!
Much better finer. More outomasation
Holy atomization
What did you see that caused you to return to the center area of the door?
That gun looks real fast
Hey gabe whats good settings to start with on prolite? only gun i have that i keep getting runs in clear 😞
Choke it up a little brother and move a little faster
Thx a bunch! If you were to do a super flat show car clear with this gun/tip would you suggest the larger or smaller tip? And higher psi? Thx for all u do! Love the channel
29 psi definitely and 1.3 tip
Thanks I appreciate you responding I will give it a try
Wonder what it compares to the devilbiss tekna prolite with te20 cab
Looks sweet
Working that Gun out man
Do u get garbage in the Clear an do you wet sand afterwards.
Amén bro
God bless you brother in Christ
Fuck ... You are good Gabriel :)
+Mirek M. Benjamin ?? Lololol
+Mirek M. HAHAHA all goooddddddd!!!!!
My mistake :P Sorry :D
:D :D :D
Can you wash the spray masking of with water ??? and is that stuff expensive
+kevin hekers yes. Depends what you think it's expensive it's about $50 for a five gallon pale
Hey bud are you using the110 air cap or te20 I shoot my clear on about 18psi and it looks like glass
+Michael Cobb awesome!!
Cobz Cobz which air cap you use to get glass finish. And what is all your settings. I'm new at this trying to learn. Thanks.
Hey is there any difference in this gun you using and the black teckna prolite gun?
Very similar
@@MOTIVATEDPAINTERS would you say the iwata is a better clear gun..if so which iwata would you recommend.
Did you get to use the iwata kiwami4 yet?..if so whats your thoughts on it
Hello,, Mot V Painter..How do you like the tekna gold'y prolite vs the sagola 4600 clear gun.?Same atomization or different!
+David THE MAGIC man PAINTER I like the sagola better it's more practical with the digialtal gauge and in my opinion is a all around better gun
MOTIVATED PAINTERS thank you for the reply back & information Gabriel..It's 2:40am here not sure what time you are in Canada 😅😃👌
+David THE MAGIC man PAINTER hahahaha go to sleep ! It's 5:46am Saturday 😁
do you prefer the tekna or the carbonio?
Carbonio hand down
