Thank you for another great review video. I have purchased every gun I have from watching your videos. I appreciate the time and effort you put into these videos. Have a great day!
YES!!!!! Knew it was destined as the winner since getting the mention of my comment in the review following ur most recent flg5 one. Now have 4 flg5s, and the original.. Still sprays mint. Your vids + the suggestion to buy an one about 4 years ago, changed my life. A $130 investment made me thousands upon thousands. Thank you.
Awesome review. You moved through the guns quickly, holding my interest without taking lots of time. Great criteria and objective analysis and discussion!
Excellent review Gunny ! ordered an FLG5 in a 1.8 for primer last week... Spray guns direct are out of stock at the moment.. Got the GPI in a 1.8 instead.. Well happy ! keep up the good work !
what an Awesome video Gunny, i actually just got the notification that it was finally uploaded. ☻ I'm a little disappointing seeing the DeVilbiss PRi Pro lite at #8, but what a great review, and now i know what one to get. go #paintsomeshit
Hi, I’m im wondering if the FLG 5 is still considered the best primer gun. I see there is a FLG 670 and wasn’t sure if that was an updated version. I was also looking Into the DeVilbiss TEKNA Primer Spray Gun 1.8 and 2.0 mm Nozzle Size 704175 gun. Do you suggest either of these three or maybe a new favorite? Thanks for the read and videos.
I've watched this video a few times over 2 years, I think Gunman's review's are beautiful work, he should review other stuff in the refinishing industry.
More than a year later 23/4/2020. Today just paid 269.95 on Ebay as per your recomendations It comes with a 1.4mm tip. Should i buy a 1.8 for primer or get another cheaper gun its only home use. And i willl be teaching myself with your videos.
awesome video / info gunny,i'm sure we'd all like to say a big thank you for taking the time to help all fellow sprayers amateur or professional : great info once again many thanks neil
Hi gunman! Do you know anything about carc paint (chemical agent resistant coating) we use it on military vehicles it’s really thick paint thicker then your standard primer I would say that has sand in it am curious what paint gun to get and what nozzle tip to get with it, would a 1.8 be enough our should go higher?
work as a car painter for 3 years, and am very passionate about paint colors. But I don't have enough money to buy a spray gun according to European standards. I wish someone would give me a paint spray gun even if it's only 50 dollars or 100 dollars or old or new guns I am very grateful. Let me pursue with passion.
Great feedback Gunman! I’m looking to get myself a mid range gun, I was leaning towards towards the Airgunsa but might rethink after you mentioned the fan width. Cheers!
That starting line gun is soooo crappy... Sprays good but good luck makin it last with the cheap factory seals... The mini gun just like it tho is my fav mini for the money hold up to a Sata mini...... Almost.
So how do you get your hands on a spare 1.8 setup here in the states? I can get the gun DeVilbiss FLG5-15-8 on eBay and is a great price if it can do everything well.
Gunny I have been watching and learning from you for yers no mate I really appreciate all your hard work I would be proud to own one of those primer guns.
oooh, I want a chance to win! I've been looking for a primer gun. I bought a1.8 primer gun from TCP Global for $40 USD. I had several uses on it. Painted, 1k lacquers and 2K primers. Currently the darn thing is leaking air from the bottom air controller knob. I'm thinking its a rubber seal that's gone bad. Thanks for the video.
Hey gunman have you got to try out the 3m Accuspray spray gun. Very popular here in the states have disposable plastic heads and can spray rock guard,primer,sealer,base and clear with the different plastic heads of corse
I used to get bitched at for laying primer down TOO smooth at one of the top collision centers where im from..!!! I was using a $40 Husky from Home depot............. "Too smooth" ,,, can you believe that BS ?!?!?!.... Ive been using the 3M accuspray for primers now... I wash the ends out after each use & its been working great for also spraying commercial type of single stage paints - Excellent when you need to change colors !!!
Thank you for this review. I use the Ani F1/N Super and F150/S Black in 1.5 for epoxy and 1.8 for 2K. Tip sets are easy to get from PRPShop.it. This company distributes Ani, Iwata, Sata and Walcom spray equipment. Tip sets for Ani run around $70, depending on the model, and I receive my packages to the U.S. within 4 days or so. I know you get your equipment from SpraygunsDirect, but there are other distributors who carry the Italian products. Not knocking anything you've posted. Just adding an additional resource for Ani fans, like myself. BTW, you should try the 200S Black w/HPS system. Heated air makes a difference. Cheers.
I have the ANI R-150 detail gun and I concur with Gunny's remark about the ANI cups-- they're the weak spot, hard to close the lids sometimes. The gun itself is very good however.
Which Devilbiss gun is the best for spraying polyesters? Also, Devilbiss has the FLG-4 #803560 that has a 1.8 and 2.2 tip but DOESN'T have a air adjusting valve with gauge. Which would be the best gauge for that gun? Thanks for all your great videos!
Hi gunman. I really enjoy watching your videos and learn a lot from them. I am a diy guy looking to learn the automotive painting trade to be able to fix my own cars. Looking to buy myself spray guns. I would like to know what your opinion is on having a specific primer gun for diy guy. Do I need it? Or is it ok to run primer through your paint gun. My current options are these and I can't decide what to buy. Iwata az3 w/ 1.8 tip - 105usd + Flg5 w/ 1.4 tip - 125usd = total 230 usd Flg5 w/ 1.4 and 1.8 tip - 155usd GPI w/ 1.4 and 1.8 tip - 245usd For diy that will use 2 times a month what would you recommend? Do I need a specific gun for primer or should I just get one gun with two tips and use it for everything? Is it bad to be running primer through your paint and clear gun? Thank you.
I have two Iwata guns. One is a 400 and the other is a 94 gun which they discontinued and no longer make repair kits. So now I am in the market of a good, not expensive primer gun. Your video help out a LOT!. I have plenty of choices. Thanks again your were a big help.
I’m trying to buy a Square body chevy and paint it Chevelle blue/midnight blue mix MAYBE with some flake but what I’m getting from this DeVilbiss GPi would be the best gun for me. Am a wrong? I don’t know much about professional painting tools but i can paint like a king with a rattle can so lmk if you have any tips oh and i need a new shop compressor any suggestions
Why don't they make a mini/midi primer gun? There are mini/midi guns for base and clear but you can't find mini guns with a 1.6-2.0 nozzle. Isn't this odd?
Exactly what I was looking for. So I’m going to give painting a car from the frame up a shot. Have a couple buddies to help (I’m sure it will turn out bad haha) and who, I was looking for a gun that I could do primer, base, and clear with. Looks like I’m going to go with the Iwata w-400. Looks to be $250 on Amazon right now. Probably only use this thing about 2-3 times a year. If you have a better suggestion, I would love any help/info. Thanks for your videos. They are very informal.
Having a hard time locating a compressor that is recommended for majority if your top 8 guns workout breaking the bank. The cfm on these guns are 9 and higjer. Any recommendations. Btw love your reviews 👍
would you recommend the PRI pro lite for a do everything gun. I am looking to eventually have a dedicated clear and a basecoat gun eventually but thinking a primer gun is a good place to start and would need it to possibly do a bit of direct gloss, base and clear in the meantime till I get the others. Also considering the Sata jet 100 BF Rp.
Hi Gunman, I would like to get a new spray gun that I plan to use for basecoat only. I think I have narrowed it down to the Iwata lph400 with the lvx aircap or a prolite. Which would you recommend and which aircap would you recommend for basecoat on the prolite?
I got my two 100 bf rp's for $250 aus each. My 2mil smashes putty on and my 1.4 smashes wow, base, clear, and solids on no worries. Killer guns if you can get them for cheap.
Great vid Gunny, but maybe this review should have been titled the best Do It All guns since you did defeat the purpose of the review by including the "versatility" criteria. The title states Top 8 Primer Guns but you grade them on whether they can shoot color and clear also. Anyway, keep up the good work.
Been using the Tekna Primer gun the last month for sealer and primer. Spray both products with 1.4 high efficiency cap. I dont care for the hvlp one. $300
Hi Gunman, really good info, I bought a gti pro lite spray gun because of your videos getting close to finishing bodywork and ready to primer a 58 corvette could really use a primer gun thanks for all your help thanks Lance from ohio usa
Hey mate, thanks for more great info. The devilbiss flg5 looks to be the one I'll look into(of course). I have a question though. I'm looking and have the chance to get the tek a prolite vigilante that comes with 3 needles and the te10 and te10 aircaps. My question is where can I get the t110 aircap? By itself, i can't seem to find it listed as a stand alone unless I'm a dunce. Fyi I'm out here in the USA. Thanks
What a great review on all the spray guns showing how they spray primer. Your videos are the best I watch you painting. I am inspired and want to paint I have a 85 Chevy truck that I am working on I'm 67 years old. Need a good primer gun Satajet100. Airgunsa a23 iwata. Iwata bell aria w400 Devilbis gpi. Flg5 You are the best.
I missed my chance at this drawing I've been subscribed to your channel for about a year, I'm currently trying to save up some money to purchase the flg5 i got the ani 150 from spraygun direct when I saw your review, I'm new to painting trying to get my shed setup to start spraying it has been kinda expensive purchasing air compressor and filters. I just got my air lines and now working on saving money to get a decent set of guns as i said i got the ani 150 and a purple gun from harbor freight but dont think i can spray clear with either gun, if you have any extra guns u think i could use to spray base and clear with feel free to keep me in mind, thx for your videos I'm learning alot from you and take your recommendations on what to purchase seriously. Thx again..
Yesterday I was on spray guns direct to buy a primer gun I chose the f160 silver due to your previous reviews and went with the 1.9 tip as I’m planning on using it for primer only! I wished I had seen this first but honestly like your original review for the 160 and for the price I think it was a good choice, love the videos and reviews keep up the good work gunny
Hey man, I just wondered if you follow that primer colour staging system? Under all the different colours of water base.... Maybe it applies to solvent too? Is there a vid about it if you do?
gunny!!! Hi from Cali. I was waiting for this video since you mentioned it. I tried to wait to buy a primer gun, but I pulled the triger on a PRI in 1.8~2.0 tip. So far so good. Found it on opentip.com for 237 USD. Would like to win the Sata 100b tho, lol. thx Gunny for your video.
Hello there Gunmen , Thank you for this video. I'm learning how to paint and primer my truck. I did the hood but it looks like it has strips up and down. I noticed that your gun has a great fan and you don't leave primer strips on the hood or pretty much anywhere on the Vehicles. I may have been using the wrong cup. I learned the a larger tip worked better. Thank you again. I'm not sure how to win the guns the guns but I'm still happy about the videos. Thanks!
Hey Gunman, nice video 😉just a quick note as far as the satajet100 goes... You can get a very similar gun from sata that you can get with smaller tips for basecoat, clearcoats etc. Its the satajet 1000... Very affordable as well, and you get the awesome sata quality 😉
your comment about some brands ,as italco ,aourarita , and some other middle and acceptable qualitites i used in the past , kremlin ,gun sprayer ,it is very correct quality but i dont see it where to buy ,thanks
Flg5 number one by a mile. Not sure what they were thinking a couple years ago when I bought mine for 85 quid! It's still my go to gun. Thanks for the info.
Keep up the great work. The information you give us is top notch. I've been waiting for this review as I'm in the market for a new primer gun. The one I have works but not really happy with it. It was cheap so I guess I can expect that. My color and clear guns are both pro lites bought on your reviews (tekna here in the US) and I couldnt be happier with them. Picked up an SRI mini gun and love it as well.
I enjoy all the videos I’ve seen. There informational and not a bore to watch. I’ve retained so good stuff from the gunman. I personally like the Sata, I look for that flawless finish and the Sata is the gold standard.
Hey Gunman, just wanted to let you know that I stumbled upon you a few weeks ago, and I absolutely love your videos man, they inspire me and they help me they give me confidence in myself. Now I’m not a Professional painter I’m actually a Novice but I did do a bit of Autobody in Highschool and loved it and I dabbled in it over the years but here recently I have really gotten into it, my main thing before was not having a place to spray, but about a year ago my Dad passed away and left me his garage, and some of his old cars. I ended up buying a Honda that was wrecked and had a white front end on a black car and it bothered me so much I went out and bought some paint and a cheap gun and I painted it. It turned out really good for my first actual paint job and to spray with a cheap Harbor Freight Gun. But now I’m on my 3rd vehicle I’m spraying and I just can’t find a Decent gun in my price range. My cousin liked what I did with my car so much he had me paint his Daughters car. While the paint jobs are ok I want a good gun to spray with that the paint comes out nice and smooth, but I just can’t afford a good one. I’m getting ready to spray a 2001 Chevy and I’ve been watching all of your videos hoping to find a decently priced gun that’s good. I’m working my way up to paint my Dads NOVA he left me but I really want it to be perfect so I’m waiting til I get the perfect gun for that car. But as I said I’m painting a 2001 Chevy and the Cheap guns I can afford just aren’t going to cut it on this truck as I’ve spent so much time and effort on the body work I want to do the paint job right. Can you please refer me to a gun that’s good and doesn’t cost very much. I love doing paint and body work but I just haven’t got the capital to buy a high dollar gun, and I hope to take in work when I do get a good gun. Once again thank you so much for your videos brother they have helped me out soooooo soooo much. I hope to see more soon. Your are BEAST at what you do man. Mike
