Good to get a honest, real world review of the dv1, as always the most reliable reviews on KZread 👍🏻

I am so glad you did this video telling the truth. Now I am going to buy two pro lite.

Classic Gunman “MUST- NOT- MENTION- SATA...”

Im starting an apprenticeship in the new year at my work, and a couple of months ago i bought a Pro Lite Day of the Dead edition, other than my devilbiss primer gun its my only one, so i have to use it for base coat and clear. We only really do car yard jobs at our small place, but the boss has been rapt with some of the finishes I've been able to get especially on bonnets. Which have to be my favourite thing to paint cos you can just smash it on and have very little chance of it running:)

Videos about GTI fills my soul bliss...

your opinion on value for the money is spot on. I think anyone who buys things any other way is throwing money out of the window needlessly.

far out gunman, you're awesome. wishing i could spray as good as you

Love the pro lite

Gunman your spot on about the price of the pro Lite, DV1 and SATA. I'm a DIY painter and pro Lite is within my budget. Sata and DV1 are not. I'm also totally happy with my GPI. Bellaria is also a great value and performer. If I'm shooting for perfection it gets flow coated anyway. 👍

Great video as always Gunny🤘 the only problem I can see with the pro lite is that it comes I way too many limited editions than I can afford and need🤣 but I want them all 🤔😖

congratulations for your very useful videos. I would like to ask you kindly if you could make a video about cleaning the gun after painting. disassemble it all piece by piece ... thanks greetings from Italy

I fukn love the te10 1.3 setup, you can replicate any finish just with viscosity

The hv25 is the same cap as te25 on tekna clearcoat model. It is a hybrid design between hvlp and conventional. Same as te20 aircap the difference between The two are the te25 has narrow fan like sata I nozzle, and Te 20 is like o nozzle.

Can't wait to pick up a DV1 used......got a tekna pro lite same as GTI used for $200 and I love that gun these guns have such a good parts availability and affordability that buy one used makes sense.

Can you please please please make a review on the Finex FX3000? I've been looking at this gun for a while but I want that gunman stamp of approval!

Hey Gunny, I'm not sure if you mentioned it in your review video on the GPI. But what prolite tip do you think compares to the tip that comes with it, you can assume from the consumption spec that it's either the te10 or the t110 I would think, but yeh just the fact you can get a 1.8 and a 1.4 makes it a good choice for me I think. But it would be nice to know which cap it actually is as they don't really tell you much about it in the specs.

Honesty.... yes !

Nice vid guny. Have you tried spraying basecoat with it ? And if so what do you think , I love the look and might buy just for that as crazy as it sounds lol

@@megaman4201 You'll love the Tekna Prolite with all those tips- you should get two air caps, too- the TE20 and TE10 (which should use less air at home- does for me!). Check out the Gunman in Ausy land.

One big difference and advantage of the GTI/Techna is that it is very efficient on material use. I say this in direct comparison to the DeVilbliss FLG3/4 which have the same tip/same needle interchangeability, yet not as many cap options. However I'm not dogging on the FLG series - they are dependable workhorses and will lay down sealer, tinted sealer, base, single stage, met/pearl, clear and clear with flakes or pearls with other guns at multiples of it's MSRP. I've ran both, and will have to change color for small jobs 75+ times a day at my shop, and I must add that both hold up beautifully to the abuse of multiple cleanings. Pro tips: Don't over torque the FLG tips, and DO NOT submerge the GTI/Techna in washing solution. Cheers gunnies.

That's why i love gunman reviews, 100% honest about what he thinks no matter who it is.

Could even do some ultra slow motion videos on the atomisation.

Hey mate can you reveiw the iwata lph-400 lvb and lvx air caps. The lvb has 3 holes on each air horn would like to see how it lays metallic down.

I love the Prolite. I have 3 of them. It’s my go to gun for basecoat (solvent I use TE10). One thin I absolutely hate about it though is the way it’s constructed. I don’t like the plastic shroud with a white paper gasket behind it. It’s just a pain to clean.

Great, honest and unbiased, review. I would love to have one, but as a DIY, it wouldn't be an investment; but it's most likely so much better than the $100 model I bought.😁😆

The price is currently only $550 USD from reputable sellers on eBay. That's the Digital uncrupped version with all three nozzles, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 and dekups adapter!

If you wanted a gun to spray the best finish with best quality gun is it Supernova ? DV1 ? or a Sata ? mostly looking for finish quality and I do not like orange peal... Thanks in advance if Gunnman can give opinion.

Please 🙏🏽 Portuguese subtitles. Your magnificent work!

Thanks for the review...Sata in my opinion is a rep gun so a guy can say he has the best of the best. Devilbiss is for a guy that wants the best of the best so he can paint cars to his max potential. You know better than most any decent gun in your hand can do the job but which one holds you back the most? The Dv1 is trying to fill the Sata market place with designer style guns that look great and are over-priced and deliver less but still perform like the old equipment. I think it's a mistake too.

Ive just got the standard dv1 to try out (basecoat) from our paint supplier and am very happy with it for clear. Is there a massive difference in the finish between the basecoat and clearcoat dv1? Great vid gunny

Have both a Pro-lite and DV1. The Pro-lite is lighter, is smaller and feels better in your hand and has a lighter trigger. Not to mention is better balanced. I should have just bought the blue (basecoat) Tekna.

Hello Gunny, Got a quick question. I recently picked up an Iwata Lotus gun and a Pro Lite. I’m shooting for an Aston Martin type finish. Flat and glassy. Which gun would you likely use for base, and which for clear? Both are 1.3, and the Pro has the TE 20. Thanks!

@TheGunmanChannel

4 жыл бұрын

Yeah man, I mean I have a feeling that'll happen during the lifespan of the DV1, but as it sits at the moment it's a bit restricted.

One big difference that I think Devilbiss figured out that I haven't seen other gun manuf. do is on the DV1 the fluid tip has a smooth rounded shape that creates less turbulence in the air cap than all the other guns so far on the market so I think the technology/innovation/design has been improved and I personally do like the placement of the new digital gauge. However, I would still agree that with the pro-lite/tekna being cheaper, more versatile, and still able to produce the same results makes it a better "bang for buck" gun. I will say that personally I do like the DV1 base gun for base more than the pro-lite/tekna. It seems to spray more even and I seem to never have any over spray on the air cap after I'm done unlike some other guns. You could also get an Iwata with an Orange cap though that would be cheaper and is pretty similar to the DV1 base. I think Devilbiss has put a lot of effort into the DV1 series and I think they have made improvements and while I think the DV1 base is worth considering as a purchase, I think with so many clear guns on the market the DV1 clear might be something that you only need if you don't have a clear gun and you have the money to buy one. After owning many many guns from SATA 5000's, Devilbiss Pro-Lites and DV1, to Iwata Supernovas, I tend to gravitate to my Bellaria for replicating most orange peel on the market and it's less than half the cost of all the other guns.

That's a very interesting point. I have yet to use a spray gun and put it through it paces and not see some color on the air cap. But I do have a few guns I use for clear only so I don't know what to expect from them as it would be hard to tell just for that reason. Great observation !!!

Does Wax come throught your Guns or u get Wax on the panels ? i dont get it

@TheGunmanChannel

It's that any small wax, grease, oil etc contamination on the panel can result in an imperfection in the final finish, using wax and grease remover lowers the risk of that contamination.

yep some of these new guns sata , devilbiss or iwata are to expensive the iwata lph 400 you can just change the air caps orange, purple or silver the teckna same thing without breaking the bank . from the reviews of both sata 5500 an dv1 while they are good guns its not worth spending that amount of money especially on the sata the caps way to expensive
