Thanks for posting this and others over the Christmas period. Really enjoyed the time. Happy xmas.

I love your channel .... seriously ... thank you for what you post here ....

Just bought a slightly used Devilbiss Flg 5 yesterday, awesome gun! Great results, No complaints whatsoever. Thanks Gunman

Thanks gunman for such a fast response, much appreciated!!

Always liked your channel. I've been watching and looking for tips and tricks for fixing my car, wheels and such. Great job!

So excited!!! Doing this when I start college. Can't wait !

Hey man. I am a novice wanna be painter. Your videos have helped me so much. I can't thank you enough. Thank you from the U. S. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I love my DeVilbiss FLG4 , I greatly appreciate your reviews and knowledge of the paint guns

Great video, thanks for putting it together. I have a Devilbliss GTi Pro and love it to bits. Will buy the LITE version if ever I need another gun.

Just bought a Tekna Pro Lite here in the US , thanks for the recommendation . I can't wait until my truck restoration is ready for paint to try it out .

Hi Gunman, just wanted to say thank you for this video. I had been using only HVLP guns (mostly a DeVilbiss FLG4) for furniture finishing and was getting CONSTANT orange peel, no matter what. Based on your recommendation, I went and bought a Tekna Pro (slightly bigger version of the ProLite) with the TE20 aircap, and Oh My God, what a difference. Lays clear like glass. A bit more overspray, but what a finish. Thank you so much!

Thanks for the run down it has been a big help.

GUNMAN! I love your vids, really good info, thanks for sharing your experience and expertise. Due to your love of the GTI Pro Lite I bought the Tekna Pro Lite and ABSOFREAKINGLUTELY love this gun. Everything you say about it plays true for me as well. I use it with the 3m PPS system and it just kicks ass.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO!!!! I AM SO EXCITED TO START SPRAYING!!!

So how did it workout? From 3 years in the future.

dude. you're freaking amazing. Thanks for the video, I'm learning a lot. going to check out your other stuff. Neither of my spray guns made the list, but both manufacturers did. (Sata and Binks-which is a DeVilbiss)

So great that you made these great videos. Thank you, it is GREATLY appreciated!!! BTW: I now own a Pro Lite

The Gunman - absolutely awesome !!

Im in the US and i love this gun. It definitely deserves 1st place. Thanks gunman..your awesome

thanks bro...#1 the gunman For helping me choose my new Spray gun good video

there are so many out there uploading videos on spray painting/guns - most are are not easy to follow - the Gunman explains things in simple terms & easy to follow - tnx, enjoying your videos

brilliant vid Gunman the devilbiss pro lite is also my favourite gun

lol my first gun was a binks #7 with a FF tip. But that was around 1977 and we were spraying Dulux ,Centari and Lacquer, yeah times have changed a little . GR8 vids

My shop has ran the FLG3&4, with my only complaint is that the 4 was less ergonomic, but dependable for every day use. We've upgraded to Techna Pro this year, and now use the FLG4 as sealer guns. The FLG 4 is a very versatile gun and a great value, but the Techna difference on performance and efficiency is like night and day. As far as setting my fan goes, i just adjust it until I have the sharpest crisp edge on the fan and then go. Keep up the good shootin''.

I absolutely love my Tekna ProLite, easily the best I've ever owned and the versatility is just as you say.

Quick question, Lets pretend that all 10 of these guns are exactly the same price. You can only afford one. Which one are you going to buy?

Still be the pro lite because of it's versatility, you can change the air cap and go from LVLP to Conventional to HVLP and it is absolutely perfect for refinishing, maybe the SATA 5K if I was doing Custom painting where they wanted dead flat every time.

Awsome review! Very helpful!

Great video I have learned a lot from your videos and I have been doing this kind of work for 15 years in West Virginia USA I have a satajet 5000 hvlp but I'm going to get a tekna when I can get the extra money thanks for the great videos

I've learnt a lot from your videos and keep learning morze everyday. It gives me even more joy from what I do at work. I am just wondering How many other girls following you? Monika from UK

I started painting cars approx. four months ago and I was using the Sharpe Finex FX3000 and struggling to apply a smooth base and a smooth clear. One car I painted had over 200 runs in my clear coat! Uggh. After watching this video, I purchased a new Devilbiss Tekna Prolite and it sprays awesome! I just finished my second vehicle with the Prolite and I absolutely love it. I am using the TE10 air cap with 1.3 tip, and the fan all the way out with two turns out on the fluid as you suggested. Settings for greatness. Thanks for the inspiration!

Great to hear man, nice gun and will last a lifetime if looked after properly.

Have to agree! I love my iwatas and my satas. And because I have them that is what I use. But I do believe the pro lite is the best bang for your buck!

Awesome video, my LJ Torana resto I am doing I can see the advantages of a mini gun. Cheers

My options changed massively since I got a couple sata 5500 rps. I was a diehard devilbiss guy but my boss offered to buy a couple guns to help speed things up and I absolutely love them. They make mottling a thing of the past even on the toughest colors. I spray Spies water so it might be more sensitive to mottle but regardless compared to any of the other guns it's effortless with the sata.

Hi, Mate, I've been in the body & paint business for a while ...I love the enthusiasm with which you present your reviews & am thankful we feel the same about DeVilbiss. Thank You ....your reviews make a difference, please keep up the good work

Just bought the FLG5. Thanks for the review!

Well done! This video really helped me in my quest for a new gun! Question, what are your thoughts on the Sharpe LVLP guns?

Great comparison review!

Great video Gunman !!! GTI Pro Lite wins the crown back from Sata 5000 ! So many great guns to choose from. I will get the legendary Pro Lite for clear only, Ani mini for touch ups, and a Flg 5 for base coats. My Flg 3 is sentenced to primer only. Thanks for the valuable info ! Cheers ! : )

This helped me out a lot thanks

Hello. I am a motorcycle painter here in Brazil, even though I do not know how to speak his language, I have been able to see and understand his way of applying the varnish to the pieces and to understand what is really good for each type of application. Thank you and keep posting your experiences out there. Thanks a lot for the help. Too bad that it is very difficult to buy these equipment here. Thank you very much.

Love your comments and advice on the guns, I'm plucking up courage to sort the oxidisation on our XK8 but first to clean up the leather interior I reckon a mini LPLV gun on a 0.8 nozzle might work better than an air brush for a full out the car 'refurb'. Time will tell !!!!

Enjoyed the info . Thank you

Nice vid mate . Good information .

very nice i have the tekna and i love it...now i need to look that primer gun up

Great Job, I have an Iwata Air Gunza and agree with you it is a good primer/sealer gun. I purchased two Devilbiss FLG5 guns, one for base coat the second for clear coat upon your recommendation. I used the FLG5 for clear and was surprised with a huge fan and applied the clear like glass. Thanks for recommendation on the FLG5. Art Bolanos Houston, Texas

This guy is amazing

The super Nova is a freak of nature. It took me a minute to adjust to the the way it sprays. But the tekkna pro light by devilbiss is by far my favorite gun.

Hi gunman. Ever considered having a top 5 review on clear coats? I'm undecided on which way to go I am thinking Dna hs diamond clear for price/ quality

Ah I wish I could get such a good finish on my projects. I cleaned out my 20 year old Iwata vx707? suction gun and gave it a go to see how it compared to my az3 1.3fluid tip gun, OMG it was like a bloody fog machine! some of the paint actually got onto the panel though.

You must have it set up wrong bro because I'm telling Ya it don't matter what fuckin spray gun you've got man it's tha man on the end of it that gets a top bollocks finish! !! Look don't get me wrong like if you put up gunnys devilbiss Guildford up against let's say a £30 sealy, Yanno which guns gonna perform better. Listen 90% of spray painting is prep work dude. You get that rate and your on a winner. This assignment kid seems to know his stuff though. I'll give him that, I enjoy watching his videos. I'm a industrial sprayer I do a lot of window frames, cladding, ceilings, and the like. We have a lot of work for supermarkets tescos, asda, Morrisons the other ones as well M&S, waitrose, we sprayed some fireproofing in a riverisland last night. I enjoy it man & that's what it's all about there ain't nowt worse than having a job you don't like. I started off spraying trailers when I was 18.

Hello Gunny, I have a question for you. I was wondering what you do when you come across the car that has had that ceramic coating put on it and how you remove that before you paint? thanks man

Thanks gunman for taking the time for great reviews and instructional videos! I just bought the flg5 with a 1.4 tip strictly for solvent basecoat on your review. Currently using a sata nr 2000 for base and a sata 5000 rpm 1.3 for clear. originally had 1.4 on the 5000 but it was to much for my style and speed,1.3 works great. My question is what a good starting point would be for the flg5 for fluid control ,turns out from seated position, and psi? I will be mostly painting metallic basecoat using ppg/dbc or prospray at a 1:1 mix. Thanks again for your time. Keep up the great work!

@TheGunmanChannel

I always left that gun wound right out for base, 25-29psi should get it on nice

Great vid. Every gun I use is on this list....but I would put them in a different order. My FLG is my sealer gun, Tekna for color, Supernova for clear. I know why you put the Tekna at #1, it is probably the most versatile gun ever built, and is the best base gun I have ever used. If I could only have one gun...it would be a Tekna. But the best clear gun, in my opinion, is the Supernova. Hands down.

Great video and very informative for the budding sprayer. Will you do a compressor review at some point. As a beginner I am not sure which compressor to buy for home use and don't want to be paying through the nose

I began spraying in the 1970's with DeVilbiss and Binks Model 7. When automotive paints moved to 2 stage systems it became advantageous to acquire a good hvlp for topcoats. There have been several guns that provided decent results, but my favorite gun is the Optima 800 1.4 was purchased around 1985 has been a great gun...never changed the fluid tip and needle showing no signs of excessive wear! Many years later...it is now time to replace the material cup, the original plastic cup is about done, will replace with a stainless steel, or aluminum cup soon.

Hi Gunman, many thanks for all the cool content you have been putting up. Glad it all paid off in the end. Hope you are enjoying Thailand. I have been a few times and absolutely love it. I have a quick question with regards paint types. I an about to start the paint job on a classic mini, and am in a dilemma about whether or not to use 2K. I don't have access to an air fed mask. Is there a suitable filter system for 2K or am I resigned to using cellulose? many thanks George...

Thanks for this video

Nice video. Please also review the 3m accuspray guns. They're so good!

Great videos, I've learned quite a bit even after years or painting. Have you ever used an electric gun? Are they any good? I was thinking about buying one because I don't really have a proper compressor at home, figured an electric gun might do the trick but they seem to be pretty new tech and I'm very skeptical about it.

Beautiful work

Nice review

so far so good

Devilbiss spray guns are awesome for automotive finishes, I myself have sprayed many different brands of paint with different type's of VOC here in the U.S. , for me the Iwata lph 400 was the best for spraying 2.1VOC single stage paint or 2k clear on large fleet trucks, Sata spray guns have worked well for me spraying metallic single stage paint.

Just curious whats your opinion on the star SMV-4F Gravity fed spray gun if you have used one obviously. Any help much appreciated keep up the vids bud very helpful source of info

I've been watching your vids for some time and I had a quick question. What about gun storage? Maybe a video would be cool. To see your spin on how you keep your spray gun investments safe that would be interesting.

I personally really fell in love with the DevillBiss GTi Pro Base for base coats

awesom guns

I enjoy your videos bro! Have you sprayed the Sri micro, devilbiss? Chir Chir

I Love your videos . Have you tried the devilbiss gfg 670 plus? Thank you!

Hey Gunman! I watch all your videos for professional everyday use which two do you recommend? I'm a big fan of Iwata, but like Devilbiss too

Very nice video. What gun would you recommend for helmet work only (priming and clear)?

Great info on your videos!! what nozzle tip size are you using on the iwata bellaria? wich of this list do you recommend for clear coat ? thanks!

I think the Sata rp should be #1 it is more durable and more easy to clean. Puts on more mills for my climate in Phx Arizona. Nice video 👍🏾

I was sure needing one

yup tekna is the best IMO. My buddy loves his sigola too. Have you tried the ATOM X20 or 21 or 27 I hear it is good but I am thinking it is a knock off of something else. any information on it would be great.

Thank you for your videos. I noticed you sometimes spray clear fast and in other videos considerably slower. Can you explain when I should spray faster or slower. Thanks from Bossier City , Louisiana USA

That's another good video and it helps I ask a question in your newest video and how much I would use the gun what do u think I should buy to do my 1934 ford thanks buddy dewayne

Thanks Gunman... I was surprised there was not more Sata guns in the top 10. After watching it through would have to agree that the cost is too high for a top 5 finish. But Sata 4000 B RP should be Top 10. The DeVilbiss JGA should be there at 10 because the damn things wont die... Great Video... subbed

A new top 10 gunny for 2019!!!..

Never painted before, bought the GTI pro lite TE20 , did the whole motorcycle with it. Primer, base, and clear. All with pretty much the same settings. It turned out great. I love the gun but what do I know. Ive never used anything else. I have since bought a primer gun.

great vid Gunman I happily own number 3 on your list to think i own a gun that beats a SATA lol and i know why, i can buy 9 of these to 1 Sata 5000 in the end if youre a professional painter you will like a certain type of gun, an apprentice another , and a diy well the cheapest for the most part the FLG 5 meets the middle and its an awesome gun you can make money with and these days thats the important part. Thanks for the Great Videos this year Gunman cant wait for more from Thailand

I'm looking at buying the sgk 1.3mm for spraying a project car. Do U think this will be a good fun to lay base coat and gloss? Thanks. Love the vids mate very helpful as I'm about to attempt my first candy paint.

When I first started working auto-body for my Dad in my early teens, the only paint guns that existed were siphon-feed Guns. Of course, phones still had curly "Q" cords attached to the wall and most people thought you were well to do if you had one the could make it to the living room from the kitchen and it had a number pad dial on the receiver so you call from whatever room you could get away to. Back then the only paint guns worth having were, Binks and DeVilbiss. I would use SK's, Blue Points and I.R.'s for primer, and lacquer primer was the only thing that even existed when I first started. I think it was the ass-end of the '80s / early '90s when 2K entered the world but every shop I ever worked for in those days used lacquer primer until it was completely taken over by 2Ks in the mid-'90s. The first 2k product I can remember is RM 2K clear (Wich claimed you could "Key job" it and it would self heal. The only drawback to it was a dent could not be blended or repaired. If a car got hit in a quarter panel you had to repaint everything attached to it, which usually meant both quarters, the roof and, God forbid if there was custom work under that clear!!!) and then Sikkens came along shortly after and totally screwed up the entire paint code world. DuPont finally caught up and it wasn't long after that Martin Senior went basement bargain pricing and dominated the industry in my neck of the woods. Probably the most advanced paint product in my early years was Imron and Centari. Anyway, DeVilbiss was my go-to-gun for clear coats. I do have a pair of Air- Gunnza AZ3's with 4 needles and cap setups and I can tell you that the 1.3 is an awesome clear coat gun, The 1.5 set- up is a great all arounder and the 1.7 lays the 2k and Epoxy Primers down so well it's actually a joy to spray primmer. For custom work and big airbrush projects, my mini-gun and probably my favorite gun I have right now is the Sata-Minijet 4! What an amazing toy that little rat is. With the fan setting in the cone position, I can make pencil size lines and with a little eye to hand practice I am wiping out rat tails, shading, you name it that gun is the most versatile piece on the rack. I gotta say though, I would never have thought in million years a paint gun would get as pricey as they do today. Seem's like Iwata is the culprit that destroyed the spray gun world with the cost and, really until I actually put a big Sata-Jet in my hand, I thought the whole conversation around spray guns, airbrushes, HVLP v. LPHV, atomization and, overspray v. paint contact was a friggin scam!! The idea of well-placed grommets, air chambers and, hand-polished needles being any different from what already existed was all Greek to me. Before the whole "Atomisation" revolution came along, the most modern, "Hi-Tech" paint gun I cant remember was a Sharp. I can remember the Snap-on guy bringing one into the shop and talking in up and shortly after that, the sales reps' started invading the place. Sharp's were different and they had a unique feel and they looked kinda cool but it ended up being a $75 primer gun because to me, the most reliable and smooth tool I had was my DeVilbiss' All of this to say, HOLY SHIT!! I am in love with that Eddie VanHallen "Frankenstein" design you got there!! If I would have had a gun like that growing up ...... Or even now for that matter! I gotta have it!! I'll be looking. Great vid man! Thanks for the post. Like I said I've been doing auto body and custom paint since I was 14, I'm in my early 50's now and I do everything in my power to not touch any project

Hello, You are great and big professional! The grettings from Poland:)

Hey Gunman, I really love your videos!! It's very hard to find any reviews not sponsored by a manufacturer. I am a DIY guy in the US restoring a 1968 Mercury Cougar (black). I've decided to prep and paint the car myself but instead of using a $30 spray gun I've decided to invest in a professional-grade spray gun. You seem to really like Devilbiss and I've been looking for a used GTI Pro or GTI Pro Lite to use and then sell when I'm done. Since I'm spending so much on a gun I want one that can do primer, color and clear coat well. I'm also planning on using metallic paint. I will rent a 10cfm compressor for painting. Is the GTI Pro a good choice for me or would you recommend another?

hi gunman... have you tried the walcom guns. I have the slim S for 3 years now and I must say have never looked back as a bad gun.

which entry level gun would you recommend for motor cycle without a paint booth? Also should I consider a HVLP gun? thanks
