    Lovely video bud and as always lovely workmanship. Might be worth adding the Sata5500 is Sata’s latest version and the Walcom Geo looks to be one of there older models that has now been upgraded to the Walcom Geo Light and again to it’s latest version the Walcom Geo EVO. Might even be worth you trying one see it you can see the difference in lay down Or even look at the Walcom 360 EVO HTE the dedicated Clear gun with MP setup for Flat finish and Std setup for OEM finishes

    Hi Paul really good comparison mate and both of those guns did a great job, from what I can tell there doesn't seem to be much difference finish wise between the 2 guns so it probably comes down to personal preference. When you was using the Sata it looked like you were holding the gun a fair way back from the panel it might have been the camera but I was amazed how you got such a good finish like that as I have to be close to the panel to get a flat finish from my Sata. Anyway, really interesting video Paul so thanks for doing it👍

    Now that's strange Paul as I find the Sata X5500 a bit slow in the 1.2I, I got a 1.3I tip set for it and it was a bit faster but I thought it didn't atomise quite so finely as the 1.2 but that could be in my mind🤔 Do you have an Iwata W400 Bellaria 1.3 mate? now that I think is the fastest gun in my collection it smashes it on and for the price gives a cracking finish, would be interesting to hear your thoughts if you have one Paul as I'm always keen to learn new things in this trade👍

    @JohnWD40TC02 no I don't have the iwata. The geo I'm is quite slow it's fully open and still slower than I'd like but the atomization is beautiful. The 1.3 will won't atomize as fine because more material is coming through you'll end up with a more orange peely finish. I might start reaching out to gun companies to see if I can get some guns on loan to test/review.

    I work in a big shop. I use a sata 5500 I pattern for base and I don't prefer them for clear as my booth sucks and anything over 25 psi fills it up pretty quickly. I also get a lot of flat cars and I can't seem to tame the German beast for clear. I use an iwata LPH400 for clear at 20psi. I'm definitely interested in the walcoms. Your thoughts and demonstration on pattern size would be interesting. Some people boast a large pattern but I see it splitting and obviously that's not very good. Speaking of...a year and a half in my sata pattern is splitting at full fan seems odd.

    Great feedback. I can definitely figure out sizes of fan patterns for the walcoms. Sometimes, when the fan pattern splits, it's because the pressure is too high, causing excess velocity at the air cap.

    Hi Paul I've listened to & watched all the hype on the new satacc, I've been praying for Devilbiss to bring out some new air caps but it's not happening, so I just thought with all the good reviews I'll try the SATA x5500 cc, opened the box, beautiful gun but it just doesn't fit my hand like a Devilbiss, in fact it's just not right it's horrible to hold, now I've just noticed you hold the gun with fore finger over the gun & little finger below the finger rest so I'm going to try that or sell the gun or Dremel the finger rest. Did you discover that style by using SATA guns or is that your style anyway Regards Graham

Its a shame you dont get on with the Sata, I really like the cc. I guess it's just user preference. I hear really good things about the new iwatas they are comfortable in the hand too. Also the fuji spray guns are nice I have 2 of those.

    Thanks, the best all round gun would be dictated by what cfm your compressor is. This is how much air it can deliver to the gun. (Some guns need 14cfm but if your compressor is only 10cfm it won't spray properly) if you let me know I'll have a look what would be best. Also I'll produce a video on the matter to help explain things like this for DIY gun and beginners. Thanks 👍
