A difference in paint guns: SATA and DeVilbiss -VS- Iwata 

First I pressed like, in one min what you Say I changed me mind. Few pneumatic rules, 1. IF you increase pressure, the air speed trough air cap air holes faster 2. If air comes faster it increase volume 3. If air speed increased, behind the air - to the air moving direction, increases air dynamic flow ( suction force ) So if you reduces pressure, you material is more gravity based follow, if increased pressure gravity + suction based flow so you say why I paint better with lower pressures, its rule nr2. if you increased pressure and volume and speed, in hot climate your clear coat particles becomes partial dry (not so wet) and on the surface it no flow so much, if you reduce pressure you not drying clear in the air and it flows better. Good bye.

Great video, we need more!

Love your willingness to teach!!!!! Awesome video.🙌

Maybe your Devilbiss DV1 would spray better if you got the DV1-C made for clear rather than the DV1-B basecoat gun like you have. I have all 3 Devilbiss DV1 models. The clear gun I spray clear at 10psi. Will agree my DV1-B sprays mrtallic base better than anything I ever owned, all three guns work great. I use an Iwata Wider 4 1.8mm for surfacer/sealer. Also I use PPS 2.0 cups for three reasons. 1. It speeds up time, 2. Saves me money in lacquer thinner from having to clean out a gravity cup, 3. I can cap and save paint that had just been reduced with no catalyst added. The amount of time they save me, and the amount i save in lacquer thinner which is $23/per gallon now days does not make my paint job more expensive

Love the fact that you give out your hard earned knowledge so freely. Every time I see one of your videos I learn something new, (or unlearn something bad). 👍

Hello Mr. Ciotti, Have you made the "beyond mosquito wall" book? if so, then I want to say that the book is amazing and thank you for being my teacher back in Margate 2017.

The nr95 was a great gun! I hated them at first and the whole hvlp movement until I finally gave it a fair chance and got used to it, I was a die hard Jet 90 user, I absolutely loved it after a while for base especially. I still have a brand new nr95 I bought as a back up and stashed, won’t get rid of it. Personally, I never cared for the lph 400 or w400, they’re just too slow for me. Well made and they do atomize nicely but just not for me🤷🏻‍♂️ The plastic air valve inside the Iwata guns bothers me too, the Chinese have copied those guns dozens of times now and have at least made that valve out of brass lol. I think for the $ these guns cost Iwata could do the same. I do agree with you though that the Sata’s are definitely air hogs, definitely not for the guy painting in a garage with a small compressor. They’ve gotten more and more extreme with their pricing over the years also, long gone are the days of new Sata’s for $200 and some change

Awesome content 😮 TYVM for no bullshit 😮more please 😮

Been spraying for over 35 years what I have found out is that different clears lay differently I'm a big chromaclear from axalta yes it's a little pricey but you get what you pay for it lays like glass right out of the gun I can spray this stuff out of a Banks 2001 and a cheap harbor freight Black widow and it lays light Glass I love the new iwata ws 400 series 2 gun if you want to spend 800 to 900 bucks it is a awesome clear gun

I still have my 95 90 and binks #7

Couldn't agree with you more...Sata is total shit in my eyes. And yes I have an NR95 too but the go to gun is an Iwata.

NR95 was a great gun but the nr2000 1.5 sspecifically ( for some reason the 1.5 nozzle was actually smaller than the 1.4 ) was like magic for solvent basecoat. It's still my main gun for metallics to this day. I could not paint with the lph-400 with the orange cap for metallics, or the silver clear cap. The iwata is a better atomizer than Sata, but not better. Sata just has it down when it comes to replicating the factory finish. The DV1 i did not like either.

I have both, Iwata's lays a better finish true, its downfall though is when you have a corner or jam. A SATA will give you the most control allowing fines, its the better all rounder IMHO.

Anything but a iwata 400 is good for taping high spots down

Sometimes, I just do t have the time ro wait on my lvx... But you waste the same amount of time mixing more paint for your Sata water hose

What model Wilkerson regulator is that? Thanks

SATA owns all
