Fake Devilbiss Gti Prolite Comparison

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

In my previous upload I went into detail of the over all design differences from the fake gti prolite vs a real prolite. parts, design, manufacturing coatings and machining, but failed to show detailed images of the defective air cap, so this video was redited to show those flaws in high definition. hopefully people value the changes.

    For Those who have already seen the previous upload skip to part 26:00 to get the detail pictures of the air cap, Its going to take me a bit to get the spraygun shoot out video out to you guys I have a few videos to upload first and also a give away should be coming out in the next video or so. still thinking of how to raffle the item off , and how to pick a winner in time for Christmas. hint : It shoots paint. :) Also what do you guys think of that air cap from the fake? Good or Bad? you decide.... Stay Sprayin

    I have fake mini guns Italco H951 Sri copy and they are awesome and I have satajet mini 4 but I use fake guns because them spray good, you have to get good fake guns as there is all kind of quality with fake guns. I find that Italco guns are very well made.

    Well the bottom line is how do they spray? 1/2 hr. video comparing spray guns, I expected to see some actual results where the rubber meets the road! Then after that, just for shits & grins you could've swapped the air caps and checked out those results as I'd say the biggest issues would be that crappy machining on the air cap. No doubt there's a quality difference but seeing how it actually laid material down is what ultimately matters.

    To answer your first return question from the first video. Yes my TE20 cap is the exact same poor quality machining right down to those nasty burs on the 3 hole cluster. The only difference with mine is it has a narrow white seal on the back. I also purchased the T110 cap and it is of the same poor quality (including the burs) but has the bigger seal. Answer to #2 I have 30 plus years experience and found set up to be more difficult then necessary and was not happy with some of the results that I got.

    SW Customs exactly what I imagined , poor quality , some people find it difficult to believe because I didn’t spray with it, but I’ve been around sprayguns for several years now, and I know a good one from a bad one. I still have yet to measure the holes as you requested, would you like me to just measure the air cap holes from the fake and the real to do a comparison or just the fake?

    @@Mechaniclyfe I would just like to know if they drilled the holes in the fake cap the same size as an original or are they different. No hurry when you get a minute. The DIY person is the target market. So if you don't have something to compare with, then one would think they got a great deal. A good example is my Devilbiss FLG5 out of the box - cleaned it - loaded it with clear - a 5 second set up and it put out a glass finish.

    Good question , there are a number of factors. But a for sure factor is the real comes with 3 tips the fake only has one. Other minor things like embossing in the handle , instead of a sticker , stamping on both sides of the handle , labeling of the gun, colors available , and finishing on the knobs and air caps . If you see stickers or laser etching on the outside on the handle instead of a embossed label , that’s a for sure a fake .

    Depending on your replica honestly, if it’s anything like mine I would say , seek a better quality spraygun. You need to look at the air cap on yours to see if it’s the same slanted cut air cap. Harbor Freight’s Spectrum line is actually very good and now offer replacement parts you can order.

I set mine between 50-55% then you’ll get consistant color from the gun.. then you’ll most your clear on ... no orange peel

    1) You went into it with bias to begin with. 2) You didn't show us spray comparisons 3) Most of us here using $10 purple guns from HF for a quick project here and there. If we're looking at this gun we're looking to make a slight step up, to maybe $50-150, the pro guns are $300-400 which is too much for casual use. What I wanted to see was a comparison to see if the clone shoots better than the $10 gun, by how much, and compared to the original, is it half as good at half the price?

    I don't like to see China copy other countries products but it is a fact of life that they do. If you are going to compare a fake to an original you have to also compare the price. In this case the original is about eight times the price of the fake. Quality control is always going to be a problem with the fakes, as in the case with your air cap, but plenty of people have bought the same gun with no air cap problems. There are plenty of professional spray painters using the fakes and getting good results but I don't think that is who they are marketed at, they are more directed to the weekend warriors that may only use it a few times per year and can't justify the cost of a genuine gun. The box says high quality and if you compare that gun to some coming out of China it is a true statement, it is not as good as the genuine gun but for the price it is not rubbish.
