Hey Gunny, I work for a company in Brisbane (UAP) that makes public art for clients all over the world. I've been doing the painting there for the past four years or so by default after the painter left. We use Cromax products and at the moment I'm painting a giant 6m tall Jackalope (bunny with antlers) in satin black (not an easy task). (: I discovered your videos a couple of weeks ago and they are what has finally got me excited about what I'm doing. Automotive painting truly is an artform and you are a great exponent of it. If you are ever in Brisbane look us up! I'll give you a tour. Ordered a 4600 today after watching this, it'll be waiting for me when I arrive at work tomorrow. (:
Just picked one up for a new clear gun. I'm very impressed so far and it is VERY fast. Definitely needed to slow the fluid down to match my spraying speed. But the overall finish quality I have no complaints
Love the two 4600 I own... they spray incredibly clean. Finding it becoming my go to gun... personally I like to base and clear with the same make and model gun. I came from Painting machinery , Heavy Equipment and various Marine applications to the automotive industry has been a welcome change... pricey but welcome. Thanks for all the videos , reviews and insights...I get a lot out of this.... Be well ; I’m going to paint some shit.
Here in Brazil the Walcom line (they are the biggest players here when it comes to high performance guns) is an unanimous choice when it comes to price/performance, but one of the guys who i worked with claims that this Sagola Xtreme is better than Walcom in regards to finishes, i would love to test this one someday, the DeVilbiss DV1 is also making a name around here.
I just watched your vid on the flow of different cups, but for me the pps cups are much more user friendly. Throwing the liners out makes a huge time saver in cleaning and not having to fool around with those stupid drop in filters lol.
i got one and using for almost 2 years its amazing performance in my opinion, any way i work at united motors company of dodge, Chrysler, jeep, fiat, and all types of high end cars..
I have heard they actually had a few reasons they don't like Sagola, a court case they ended up winning or something. If I truly was a DeVilbiss commercial as some say, then I wouldn't speak as highly of the new Sagola as I do. I just tells it like I sees it ;-)
I was thinking that it was like that . so lame . thanks your the man . ill let you know what i think about it anyway . love. What you do and respect real people like you. You have helped me alot thanks man . stay real ill paint some shit.
Blimey, don't things change, when I was a lad (back when Dinosaurs roamed the earth) the only Sagola spray guns you'd ever see were the Devilbiss JG suction feed knock-offs that the apprentice was given as his first gun (nearly all the parts from the Devilbiss JG and the Sagola knock-off JG were interchangable).
The Gunman Hey Brother which gun puts out the least overspray and the ability spray at slightly lower pressures? Do my side work in my garage so I have to keep the pressure about 20 psi not to fill the place with too much over spray in the air. right now I'm using an older Devilbiss tekna with 7E7 air cap...
Awesome gun! Been thinking about getting one for myself, I’ve been using the Iwata lph400 for clear for the past couple of years I think it’s time for a new gun🤧
great vid as always. have been curious about these Sagolas for quite some time. look like a really good quality gun. you mentioned fan size and from watching your videos for quite some time now, it might be me, but the fan on this gun looks to be a bit smaller than when you clear with your Prolite. Either way, it lays a nice finish! Cheers
A cheap gun can do the same as a expensive gun , thus it all about vacuum , pressure , paint flow , direction or degrees of you jet or fan jets also the amount of regulated pressure going through the hose as well as the length can influence the flow at the gun , all science though , i use a digital pressure gauge purchase from Supercheap auto , well done i enjoy watching u as you know what you talking about. :-) How but make a video about expensive verses cheap guns on my experience above , cheers keep them videos coming
Say, what is the XL designation on the 1.3XL tip? Is that a Sagola thing or something industry standard that I just haven't run across. What's the diff between the 1.3 and the 1.3XL tips? By the way I picked up one of those ANI RP/1 gun regulators based on your recommendation. Shipping to the USA is a bit much, but I look forward to using it for the first time with my good clear gun around New Years. =)
@Hank Scott "XL" means high fluid flow rate of the same tip. The nozzle are designed for high flow. This is mainly for clears used in repair shops, where speed matters. Iwata's WS400 series has the "HD" nozzles which are the high fluid flow nozzles. ANI has the same set up too. An ANI F150 HPS uses 1.3 and 1.3-C nozzles (1,3-C AH1411151). The C designation is for high fluid flow.
Hi gunman great work as always I want to purchase the 4600 hvlp for base and the Dvr clear is spraygunsdirectuk a reliable website to by from ?and would you recommend this gun for me as a prep guy who is trying to step up to painter and also do you know we're I can buy that red razor you use to cut the plastic thanks
I've learn from my mistake and it coast me alot $$$ that when you put to much clear, it makes some white stains, i thought that clear is only clear, even if i waited 15 mins between each coats ... and also i think my Devilbiss EGA 503 gun was outdated...
Frank Beaulieu the white stains is solvent pop because you layed on top heavy or too slow and the solvents couldn't gas out . The white you are seeing is micro bubbles
yea man thanks, 1st on a black hood, i've put 3 layers of clear (15-20mins between each..) with my 1.8 nozzle, equivalent of 1L on the hood... made that same mistake 3 times... couldn't find where my problem was, in my head i thought that clear was only clear , even when the basecoat was fully dry, i thought putting enough clear was the solution to stone chips... loll now i know, 2 layers is enough, just adding a ''rubbery'' agent when mixing the clear was fine enough.... haha thanks !
15 to 20 minutes is a bit long. however spraying out of a 1.8 is extremely large . also the brand of clear may have a large effect . most high solid clears do not solvent pop easily while ive found low to medium solids do
I think im pretty sure im going to get a sagolla for doing my clear . but im going to check out the 909 clear air cap part no. 702724 for my teckna . im thinking if you used it must not be good or it would have made it in one of your reviews. If not hope you get to do review on one soon .
+Ken Rinck the reason why is they have different air caps in the USA, I'm pretty sure that cap is off the tekna copper and we don't get that model here in Australia.
Yes I have iwata ws 400. Also a good gun. I prefer the Sagola 4600 because it has more control and less likely to get runs. Also the Iwata has a gigantic fan pattern that you have to narrow for it to spray right. They are both very fast guns. Both have great finish quality but I think the Sagola is better
Hi Gunman, I currently have a Devilbiss Finishline 4 (flg-670). It is a nice gun but I want something with a wider fan for spraying pearls without getting stripes due to having to make many overlaps for coverage. This Sagola 4600 looks very good, but the Techna Pro-Lite seems like a better deal, more versatility. Which would you upgrade to from the FL4 for DIY'er need to spray anything from high solids primer to SS to bc/cc and pearl or metal flake?
I've now made my FLG4 a primer gun with the 1.8 fluid tip. The Pro lite is quite versatile for me with 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 tips and different air caps. That Sagola looks like a monster- Gunny only had it two turns out, too!
Hello my friend I do not speak English I wrote you through a translator I wanted to ask you if it is worth buying a sagola 4600 with clear dv peak or a devilbis gti pro I paint in warm weather without changing that mouthpiece you recommend me for the devilbiss thanks
I'm looking for a good gun to do thinned lacquer on wooden tables, would you recommend a certain gun around 250-350 for doing that? I've been looking at the Devilbiss finishline 4.
Gunman ,,,, Are you confident in this gun enough to spray a Full catalyzed Candy thru it ??? I ordered the Tekna Prolite due to its multiple air cap features & wanting to see if I like the 1.2 tip for spraying House of Kolor UKs / even Koncentrates in a Clear Intercoat/Blender like PPG dbc500........ I loved my Iwata LPH400's for spraying Candies but unfortunately they were stolen...
Yes I have confidence in this gun and would be surprised if you weren't impressed, the 4600 air caps are also interchangeable like the DeVilbiss, I use the Aqua cap for base but I have used it for clear and the clear cap for base, they do spray fine but my preference is the recommended caps for their purpose.
That's good to hear... I just noticed that the GTI prolite has an Air valve adjustment as the Tekna Prolite does not..... I like that having that control so ,,, Looks like I will be getting a GTI prolite too in the near future.!!! haha....
This Sagola looks like it handles clear pretty well... I try to find different guns for each use in my field of custom paint... I prefer to have separate guns for each Solids/Metallics/Candy/Clears .. Thanks for the videos
I honestly have multiple guns... One of the best Silver light gold metallic guns that I have is a $120 Sharpe Finex 1.3.... I cant believe how well it does..!!! I learned how to master the Iwata LPH400s for metallic although they are tricky.... I also have a Sharpe titanium that I use for metallic that seems to work well for me..... The Sata line is a decent metallic gun but I don't like them personally.....
How does this gun compare to SATA 5000RP for clear in a production environment? Any opinions from owners of both, I currently use the 5000 RP but was thinking of trying the Sagola
The Gunman need a recommendation! 30 yr painter in Annapolis, Maryland. Do my side work in my garage , which clear gun would you recommend for the best finish with the least amount of overspray... that sprays the best at lower pressure.?
Good morning Gunny, I noticed the metal containers setting on your paint bench, they have a lip on them to pour paint out of. Any information on them, and where can I get a set of these? Thanks
I forgot to check sorry. We use a camera and it takes photos so I never really look at the colour codes unless I need to plus I do paint a lot of cars.
Maybe not the best setup, I'd go a smaller tip size, this is the 1.3XL and is very fast so maybe 1.2 or 1.3 depending on if you have a booth to paint in or not.
I can point you in the right direction if you give me a bit more info on what you're looking at painting, where you'll be painting, what paint you plan on using and your budget.
I know you have some Tekna's, but you should try to get your hands on the new Tekna Ultimate Basecoat gun. I just ordered on last week and im hoping its a nice gun. I heard is sprays slow, but that is fine with me. Should be a good marriage to the lph400
gunman por favor como eu posso esta comprando uma dessas para q vc me mande sou seu fã gostaria muito de te conhecer vc é profissional me responde por favor.
Hello my friends, how are you? My name is sergio varela i am from santiago de chile And I would love if your videos had subtitles in Spanish so to understand what you are indicating in your videos
I would really like my videos to be translated, they want to charge about $15-$40 per video. I have an idea where I could start a Patreon page where people could contribute to the translations.
great vid as always. have been curious about these Sagolas for quite some time. look like a really good quality gun. you mentioned fan size and from watching your videos for quite some time now, it might be me, but the fan on this gun looks to be a bit smaller than when you clear with your Prolite. Either way, it lays a nice finish! Cheers
