Sata vs DeVilbiss vs Iwata 

Merry Christmas everyone hope you all like this video.

great video. I appreciate the time you took. Im looking to upgrade my spray setup and this helped.

wow i was looking at the Sata Jet 4000B RP and the pro lite so now you convinced me to buy the TE20 Cap for Clear (Tekna Pro Lite USA), thanks gun man and a very fair price as well.

i have a sata jet 5000 with the digital display, VERY easy to use and nice flow!

Excellent comparative. Congrats !

all the best gunman .great video on some great guns thanks for sharing this .

Very informative. I've only painted a few times and use Devilbiss guns.

love ya stuff my brother congrats on the 160 + vids love ya style mate im in nsw aus and just about to start out i took your advice and bought my first gun and its a divilbiss sgk-600-BV

Excellent explanation and advise on guns. Great video.

Great vid. Been refinishing for over 35 years and currently have 2 UK version GTIs for color, would be lost without them. 1.5 and 1.6 fluid tips. For clear, I choose the copper Tekna for side panel jobs, the old GTI plus for larger trucks and hoods. Perfect combo for me.

I bought a Prolight just because of your videos lol. The paint looks amazing

Great vid mate. Merry Christmas and all the best for the new year.

Very nice vid. Tnx for this one and all the others. ;) merry xmas.

I'm gonna get one devilbiss I used a cheep eBay gun few years back like you said in this video loads of over spray and orange peal thanks man loads of help

love your great work, SIR

Hey Gunny, Learning lots keep em coming. Merry xmas and a Happy New Year to you and loved ones. Cheers

Gracias Enrique por tomarte el tiempo en explicarme Muchas gracias

Nice work on the car. Great colors

Love these videos!!

Great video as always

Great video dude, wish I had a booth to spray in! My basement is way too dusty to spray in, have ruined a couple of jobs down there (just diy stuff at home) but annoying none the less, thanks for these educational uploads man, keep em coming!

Gunman don't worry I watched your Vid and got the answer thanks again Robert

Thanks mate great help 👍🏼

Hola, soy Gabriel desde Argentina, muy buenos los videos. Saludos

Great video i really value different views and .it helps all painters become better at what we do my favorite gun is the lph 400 with the purple cap .....but i have found magic air pressure set ups for sata guns ..i can get amazing results with them . Lol because of you i now have the pro-lite with the t 20 cap im going to give a honest go this month ..your videos are great

thanks for the info. I have been out of the automotive painting arena for many years. Trying to refigure laying it down smooth on some projects I am working on. up untiI recently I have had no problems with a cheap gun except now I have been spraying vw busses. They are not forgiving when they are so flat. A very slight orange peel looks like a dry spot. Your videos I can Clearly see the difference. I have been painting off and on for 35 years. Used to be really big in automotive 25 years ago. I agree with you on the deviilbiss because of divisibility with interchanging caps. but I am still thinking the supernova might be the gun for clear. watching you with the Sata was enlightening.

you are the best mate!

Looks good and advice is good

Thanks a lot, good test job. Hello from Iowa U.S.A.

I definitely agree that the Sata people are very proud of their paint guns, but those are the guns I started buying first over any other because my rep was giving me a killer deal on them. Was getting my 3000 series HVLP guns for like 385.00. Think I paid around 410.00 for the 4000 series RP gun brand new. With a price like that, I gave it enough time to get very familiar with them. LOL

the gun debate is always a big one. however I brought a sata rp3000 and have done many big jobs in it. the review you have given is spot on. I have had iwat 400 and devilbus gti. I will be changing back to devilbus this year for sure

Muy bien saludos desde venezuela gracias.

Thank you, finally someone who likes Devilbiss more than Sata! I love my Tekna Pro, and in the industry, I often see my co-workers struggling with their satas as I lay it on like cream on butter

“I was just goin’ for broke” man Aussie slang is second to none! I’m gonna say that the next time I hammer it on so hard I’m risking some serious hangers!! 😂

I haven't sprayed a car in fifteen plus years, but when i sprayed. i used the Sata msb 1.2 and that was a good gun. I will admit that the cheap star gun also gave me good spray jobs. I may spray again in the future! Don't know if my old guns a still good!

Hi Gunman tell me whats the difference with the T10 and T20 air caps like fan and volume of paint coming out ok mate thanks

The Gunman is #1

I saw a sata 5000b rp review and was shocked at the cloud of paint that filled the shop in about one minute ! That gun looks like it could produce a lot of runs and an empty cup real fast. I can see the pro lite will consume far less material and transfer far more to the panel. The Toyota came out nice right out of the gun. Looks like it had been wet sanded and polished. I like the gold metallic. Nice job Gunman !

Hi What gun for solvent basecoat & set up..between SATA 4000 & gti prolite

Hey great review on the guns. I going to try the gti pro lite. Wanted to ask you do have problems with the clear map the basecoat. The clear having same texture as the basecoat. Thanks Lee Cochran, US

amigo tengo una pregunta tengo una pistola iwata 300 y un trastan 1.3 cuan me recomienda q use para pintar y tiral clear? saludos

Nice work man!!. I've spray a few cars and want to Learn more about guns and spraying tips.

i was gonna buy a sataJet 4000 digital to replace my very old gti until I started watching ur reviews and I ended up buying 3 x iwata bellaria's for the exact same price of 1 SataJet , I use 2 for basecoat and the other dedicated to clear coat only and I think it was the best thing I have ever done , they are such an awesome gun and so easy to use with excellent results every time , so thanks for the vids keep them coming

Best gun ever made i Broght one for myself a yar ago and i tell you it the best gun. Devilbiss Gti Pro lite

Mirastolero ahora estoy comfundido cual es la pistola para pimtar y pulverizar {paint and cria clear} por favor dime si compro una sata o devillbis o iwata por favor enviame un comentario , desde japon un amigo .thanks

I paint with axalta cromax pro. I found that the Sata with the WSB air cap is perfect with for the base coat far less over spray. If you use the 1.3 you do use alot more material though. I do use my Iwata for clear primarily but I just got a pro lite and I have been trying that for clear. it does seem to give me more orange peel then the Iwata I guess I need to get it dialed in more.

thank you SIR !

Awesome! Is the w400 classic the same as the w400 lv4 we have here in the USA? My fluid tip has 3 wedge cuts couldn't really see yours and mine calls for max 20psi.

Nice review!

Nice work bro. thanks for the video. CHEER'S

Hello GM... LOVE YOUR VIDEOS AND I'M A PROUD SUBSCRIBER. . im in the USA, will I have any issues if I order the GTI PROLITE Aussie version. or am I limited to the tekna pro lite USA version??

Nice video, I'm about to order my GTI PRO LITE it looks like the best one and use use that one the most in your videos. Can you do a video on gun set up from start to finish. Thank your videos are a big help to us out here please keep them coming. Merry Christmas

Do you use the TE20 air cap for base coats as well or would you recommend one of the others?

men I have a question when you gonna paint a car, do you paint it by sección like you doing in this video or is just to repair the side you need to?

Between the devilbiss pro lite and the iwata lph400.. Which will be a better clear gun? Which will be better for base?

iwata LS 400 BEST GUN EVER!!!!

Explains a lot.... I am a mechanic but do the occasional paint job, so not in the booth every day. I have been persevering with the Sata RP and HVLP for years (both digital & both digital displays have failed), couldn't agree more with the review on the Sata... thought it was me! I have DeVilbiss FLG3 for primer guns and they are great so I will be moving to GTI's for base and clear guns when I have the pennies. Cheers Gunny

ive been painting for around 6 years and was trained on the sata 3000rp and was having a hard time with my clear having alot of orange peel and runs. so i switched to the iwata super nova 1.3 cap and it is like night and day. i usually spray at 29 psi and full fan with my fluid back all the way out and 2 turns in on my iwata. my question is does the develibliss seem to break up the clear and lay down better than the supernova in your oppinion?

How pressure i must use for base coat and how for clearcoat ? ... and how many turn in fluid?? thanks man , greats videos

Thanks for sharing your information on the paint gun's.. I have a Sata and a iwata , but I will purchase the Devilbiss you are using with the 1.3 and te20 cap.. I respect your opinion , I am always looking for a gun that makes it easier and versatile to lay down paint and clear. I am new to painting and a DIY , but will paint my vehicle and use the Devilbiss. I also have my speaker cabinets to paint and need a all around paint gun.. plus it's a cool looking gun..

What is the "orange peel" you're talking about is it bad? Good?

Merry Christmas Gun!

Hello gunman i have a sata 4000 rp with a 1.4 set up. I feel that it waste a lot of material on de base, and i feel reluctant to use it for clear because i use medium to low solids clear. My question here is, based on what i just said: should a get a smaller size set up or actually set the gun at better settings.

Buen trabajo que pistola recomienda la Iwata ?? 400

I like Sata, particularly if you’re just smashing clear on a big job. I keep an old jet 90 for that. Any regular panel job I’ll take my Teknas all day.

hello the gunman the gun slg 620 devilbiss is good or not good ?

Could you please take a look at the Warwick 904 love your videos definitely have been a great tool.

ola eu sou o celio de portugal ai no teu pais nao a standox waterborne?

one thing I do know is its hard to say things about a gun spraying clear,it depends on the clear. some clear flow together like water some you have to hammer or it just wont lay down. the clear your using I can tell melts like butter.

Ive been a certified painter for 13yrs sherwin williams Ppg and house of kolor Ive used many guns from sata devebliss Iwata and harbor freight also even 3Ms newer disposable paints guns IWATA guns are the simplest easiest guns to clean and take apart I absolutely love iwata and would recommend to anyone no matter their experience Also we were told and instructed to flick the wrists years ago Now they tell us not to do what u were doing and it took forever to pick up a different habit but once i did wow it makes a difference

Hey Gunman, I am thinking of buying a gti pro lite (tenka), I am from the US and would it work with most clear coats? Cuz I was told by a friend to make sure it can spray the type of clear coat I usually use which is U-pol clear coat. Please let me know

What LPM FAD is required for the Devilbiss GTi Pro lite? I just do DIY and paint my 8x5 trailer annually and want to paint my 105 Landcruiser. Is the Pro Lite capable? It just seems so versatile.

In my opinion the best gun that sata ever made was the jet 90, today they are just overrated I paint with a Tekna Copper and a Tekna XV I have all the air caps for them the 909,202 and 7E7 good guns!! Great Videos!!

cuál sería de las mejores entre sagola sata devilbis o iwuata

nevermind caught it in the video it is the same for anyone wondering. thanks!

grande pintor continua assim na minha openiao a sata e a mehor mas tambem gosto muito da devilbiss felis natal

How long have you been using the Tekna? And how long have you been a painter gunny?

iwata and DeVilbiss and one of the best paint guns

Your right, i do get crappy finishes with the sata I have to get my tekna spray gun up and running again it has a seal that breaks inside. Did you have any problems with this please let me know. Another question the tekna copper 7e7 air cap. are you familiar with this. This is what I have please let me know what do you think about this copper gun 7e7 cap. What caps can I use with this gun to make get better. Thank you so much Gun Man

Merry Xmas and a Happy New Year to you

I have a 1.3 bellaria and I usually get runs so I got myself an another iwata which is the w400 wbx 1.3 classic and it is a lot better for clear but had to adjust the fluid.

I've been using a pro lite this week I can't decide if it sprays better than my gti pro. I've tried the te20 and te10 but I still prefer the t110.

Hello every one first thank you for your video ,,I hope advice me from where I can find the type of Gun?

Thank you

is this gun the same as the TEKNA PRO LITE with TE 20? Thanks

What kind of paint are you using? Is it Polyurethane enamel?

merry xmass Gunman nice video of all 3 guns,its good to see a fair test.Personaly i agree on the pro lite's i personally have a pair of these 1 for base and 1 for clear.I also have a w400 iawata nice gun lay's clear down well.I alway's used sata's back in the 90's a nr95 beautiful gun.If you remember i am the Ferrari man but now I have moved to a Brittish super car manufacturer and they use data 4000 guns and i have since bought 2 of these but agree they can lay clear down a bit cheesy on a 1.3,but i use a rp 1.2 for clear and it is greatly improved and with practice you can lay clear down like glass,just like your perfect blue jag you did(nice work).Maybe try 1.2 see what you think.

How long did you only use just the Sata?

A lot of new cars I see here in the US look terrible right from the factory. Sometimes it would be necessary to have a lot of peel just to match the rest of the car. What is the best way to match a lot of peel, and/or dry looking factory job?

I dont have a ton of 💰 money. In fact im considered disabled what would you recomened for a cash strapped. Have you tried the cheap dilvilbis? Dont get me wrong, im an iwata airbrush fan which i do a lot. Thank

Whats your set up on gti for base

I'm just a garage painter, I drive old cars that tend to need work, and my SO has a tendency to hit things so I have work to do every year it seems... I tend to paint outside in summer but I am looking at using my new shed as a paint booth. I have got several cheaper paint guns, a 1.8 primer, 1.4 I use for base coat and clear, and a 0.8mm mini gun I don't really know what it's for, woodworking finishes maybe... I've been thinking of a Devilbiss, heard a lot of good about it from you over the years so Devilbiss just has got this extra trustworthyness in my opinion, because I heard you say so many good things over the years. I would like a better gun for basecoat and clear, I think my 1.8 actually works OK for doing primer. I'm definitely thinking a Devilbiss but I cannot decide. Money wise the FLG5 is what I would go with, 1.3 mm tip. I've looked the GPG (formerly GPI) too but I am not sure if it's worth the extra cash over the FLG5 considering my amateur needs. The GTI Pro Lite would be lovely though but I cannot justify that kind of money. I have been thinking if I could buy a used GTI Pro Lite but I dunno if that's a bad idea.

what clear coat are you using

I know this video is 4 years old but as far as the SataJet 4000 b rp with a 1.2 it is a very excellent gun for waterborne base I didn’t like at all for clear with a 1.3 but with a 1.4 it does spray ms clear s pretty good the Iwata with a 1.3 is excellent for clear .My Tekna prolite comes with a 1.2,1.3,and 1.4 is an overall great universal gun for a starting apprentice or a one man operation .Sprays base great with the 1.2 and 1.3 and clear with the 1.3 and 1.4 and even some sealers just make sure it’s cleaned out very good if used for sealer. Satas are awesome guns I’ve been using Satas for over 20 years it’s all a matter of preference and what you are use to and what works for you 🙂

This was 3 years ago and still stands true that the iwata is among the best atomizing guns out there. And you nailed it on settings 2 1/2 turns out at 29 psi I personally use those and it's nice to know I was correct on my settings as I'm in school for this line of work and not a pro by far. I recently started watching your vids when Wonder how to blend metallics and decided to search this spray gun and see some paint jobs that turned out and your videos the first videos I came across. Btw the iwata w400 bellaria is $250 on Amazon.

I was spraying metallic PPG Omni base and I kept getting cloudy blotchy paint. I checked the white gasket but it seemed okay I think. Then I looked at the fluid tip1.3 and it had a long dried piece of clear coat in it I'm thinking that's what caused my blotchiness. I'm going to try to test again today and see if that's what it is

Eastwood has a three gun kit have you ever tried them.

Hi.thanks a lot for your videos.I follow all yours videos from Mexico city. I need your recomendation .about wich primer gun not to much expensive but with good performace.recomend ?
