SATAjet X 5500 Demo & First Impression with KC Mathieu 

HAHA. SATA usually does unveils at SEMA so you still have a good 9-10 months. Thanks for the support Richard!

Thats good. Not like decades ago where whatever you bought it lasted a good decade or 2. Now its every year or 2.

every 5 years

I agree on the learning aspect. Though this wasn't a super technical video, it's a good bit of incite. Thanks for dropping a line Russell! Have a good weekend.

I think it just finished uploading in 4k. It was slow at formatting today but I appreciate you always keeping it real Mike!

No worries man.👍🏼 I know that internet service can be weird. I live in a rural area and they’re always promising more than they can deliver with our service. Keep up the great work!👍🏼🤘🏼😎

need more chiks

Hey Joel! KC is awaiting his actual set as these were demo guns. We plan to do another video after a month or so of use so KC can see how it compares on an actual job to job basis.

LaRueOBR 5.56 I spray Chromax also and I have been spraying base with 5000 hvlp 1.4 and 1.3 Rp. Wondering if I should get an Rp or hvlp? I’m currently using a phaser 1.3 for clear.

Faster coverage because it is a bigger fluid tip. It is not an apples to apples comparison. I'm sure the 5500 is nice but not much different than your 5000 b.

Hey Benny! Thank you for the interest. KC is awaiting his actual set as these were demo guns. We plan to do another video after a month or so of use so KC can see how it compares on an actual job to job basis.

Was there ever a follow up video?

Me too can't go wrong for the price and performance.

hi Butch, ive had the Iwata's too. did most of my resto's with them..great guns,..but..i tell ya, try the sata 5000 and honestly ,you will love it!! paint on Brother

Depends on what paint you are using. Lph400 is best for most high metalics worthless on others all depends on what paint system you are spraying

Good luck finding laquer to spray.

KC is playing with it as an option for interior on Frankenstein.

Which Iwata ?

Thanks Juan!

I'm not a painter but an observer, I try to think of what people who paint would want to see when trying to compare on video.

@@Photobombin Hey Erick!!! Great job!

Just a camera operator not a painter but as I was in the booth I really noticed the difference in overspray, coverage and how it laid out. Not sure what area you are in but I'd say to try and get ahold of your local SATA rep and see if you can give it a try!

fluid tip size in 5000 and 5500 is the same?

Iawata 👍

U must follow The GunMan! 💯👍

If you are experienced with SATA guns already, choose the "o" pattern. If you want something like the Iwata Supernova, choose the "i" pattern. Either way, it will be a good gun.

Sata company laugh at you.. 😅

I agree SATA stuff is the high end designer brand of paint guns but the product is engineered well. But regardless, keep doing your thing Frank!

i like dirty girl equipment

Major facts

No kidding

TOTALLY 👍👍

How is it a biased review when ALL of the guns tested are SATA? It's a comparison of SATA guns! What are they biased against? SATA? Man, the comments are ret@rded on this one. I think you need to change your respirator cartridges, you have been huffing paint too long.

@@davidparker9676 I'm not saying it is a biased review. What I'm saying is it is hard to trust what he says about the guns when he is an obvious fanboy. Most fanboys will not give honest reviews and will only point out the positives, and never point out the negatives. That is how you can have a biased review when you are reviewing all the same brand.

startechinternational.net they are called speed shapes but they have different types of samples.

More to come!

This dude trying to sell the new gun that’s why lol

I just bought one and it’s amazing.

Devilbiss is following SATA's business model by overpricing the DV1. The DV1 is in the same price range as the Sata 5500 & Iwata Supernova

David Parker True that, however Devilbiss seems to do that in the first year or two of release then drop to the 500 range, and you still have a more affordable option from them with Tekna. I think Sata is missing the boat by not having something a little more entry level in the 500 range that’s versatile base/clear/sealer type gun. It’s not like the 90s when Sata was way ahead on HVLP, lots of good guns now.

@@David_Creyke I love my Teknas, Iwatas , Sagolas and my Satas. Sata does have the b1500 guns that are more of a budget line. Sata is known for the premium guns and it would hurt their market to compete with DeVilbiss and Iwata. As long as they continue to maintain the quality and innovation, the price is justified. I'll agree that the guns are pretty close in performance nowadays. A painter can get good results out of most guns now, even the Harbor Freight guns. I still love the quality of the SATAs and the availability of repair parts. I get my guns at much lower prices from a place in the UK. Their service is outstanding and the shipping is faster than if I bought it here in the states. The SATAs get into that $500-600 range from them. The Pro Lite costs $330 form them.

David Parker Yeah don’t get me wrong, Sata is worth the price, great quality will last indefinitely if you take good care of it. I guess I’ve just moved away from them since my last RP4000 which I ended up selling when I got out of the trade several years back. I started using Devilbiss when I came back to painting. I might still get a Sata again, good deals come up a lot.

Get iwata w400 1.4 and keep real money in ur pocket, sata is like iphones..or galaxies..

maybe he should be more scientific and weigh the paint before and after

That is just one of many things that make the comparisons absolutely worthless. Did you notice he did not paint with the "i" guns? Stupid video aimed for stupid people. The video was a waste of 20 minutes. The 5000 & 5500 "o" are basically the same gun, with a different color scheme. The "i" gun is basically like an Iwata ws400 Supernova.

@@mescalp He could have even said it took ______ amount of base/clear to cover each fender. Different fenders, different sized guns, different pressures.... this comparison is a joke.

AL!!!

Ding ding ! 💯👍 30-50 psi

If that's true sounds like every SATA I've used takes more pressure to get it to spray good. I'll stick with Iawata.

He's trying to hide shit he used 35 to 49 psi

Lol sometimes more pressure is more fun even though might be wrong

Thanks for checking it out. My personal reasoning is that I can buy a dock for every gun and turn all of them into a digital gun for less. I like using it because I can keep an eye on the numbers while I spray and make sure everything is flowing how I want.
