  Great video👍🏻, I’ve been following you for a while now and really enjoy your content. I was a professional painter for 27 years and always preferred Sata over everything else once I started using them, although I was always partial to Devilbiss ( the Tekna guns were nice too). That being said, Sata isn’t shy at all about their pricing and it’s gotten extreme, I have at least a dozen Sata guns lying around but if I didn’t and I needed one I would happily buy a copy these days for a fraction of the price , and that ntools gun looks like it does the job!. I just picked up an A610 because I’m spraying some trim in my house with an alkyd urethane and the biggest tip size I have for my Sata’s is a 1.5 which is just a little too tight without a lot of thinning. The A610 with a 1.7 works perfect and I’m shocked at how well that gun handles and sprays for the money

  Hi Robert, The quality of these guns is rather surprising considering their price, I know the original manufacturers have research and development to conduct but some of the pricing of the higher end guns are getting extreme to say the least. Good to hear you enjoy the videos buddy, I genuinely enjoy making them 👍

  @@peteshobbies5383 I had a 1.7 for my Sata 3000 but someone stole it, I went checking on prices for another and they want $370…….for a tip set?!🤯 I remember buying my first “real” gun, a Devilbiss JGA 502 and it was less than $100… with extras.

  There are a dozen companies selling this spray gun. With the air volume knob moved to the bottom of the handle, left handed painters can't bump the side mounted knob types. Made of Stainless Steel now due to "Water-Borne" paints, Amazon currently has a bright polished version with 4 tip sizes and actual air regulator for $88.95 now on 6/27/2024. It comes with the exact same features and carefully select the 4 needle version, fluid nozzle and air cap. Made in China of course. ASE Master, retired. P.S. I like your Yamaha ball cap.

  Hi Pete, this R500 has been my beginner sprayer for some time. I have did well with primers, metallics, candies, and clear. But was painting "things". But now that I'm going to be spraying a car (in separate panels), I felt I should get a better gun (iwata ws400 and obs tip as we discussed) . I was thinking to continue to use the r500 for primers and sealers. How would the product finishes be different, in your opinion (between r500 and iwata ws400)? Ps, I usually shoot R500 @29 psi. 31 psi for clear. Probably too high, but works for me.

• 
  @peteshobbies5383Күн бұрын

  The WS400 guns atomise finer, so it gives very good finishes. You are better off keeping the R500 for primers and the like as you wouldn't want to use the WS, it's far too good 😀

  Hi Pete. After watching your video, I bought 4000b RP 1.3. I have a problem with setting it up. For the base I chose a pressure of 1.8-2.0 bar, and for clear 2.0-2.2 bar. Fan to the max, and material to the max. As for the base, I cannot pour it like a smooth mirror, it is not flat. Something like very delicate orange peel. As for clear, it pours out quite nicely, up close it has a mirror effect, but when you step away you can see a strong orange peel. I will be very grateful to You for your help. Because I'm slowly giving up xD

  Most base coats are 50/50 mix,certainly for base coat I would turn the fluid down, around 2 1/2 turns out, distance around 150 to 175mm, it depends on the size of someones hand , a small hand would be closer than a big hand, that's why I normally give a distance measurement as it's more accurate. For Clear, full fluid and around 125 to 150mm away from the work

  Hi Pete, great video as always and it was nice to see my Fuji being used again I know you said you had more videos of it so I've been penitently waiting for more to come out👌 I totally agree with you on the 1.3 in the Fuji as for some reason the cap can't seem to cope with the extra material it puts out I think they need to revisit the design of the cap that comes with the 1.3 which I think is the same as the 1.2 cap, you mentioned the longevity of the gun and the one you have is the older which must be 2 years old and I've had zero problems with it but as you say it's still a bit over priced for what it is🤔 The Porphis seemed to lay the base down a bit better which I think is due to the wetter pattern which is probably the reason the Fuji one looked a different colour as there was less paint on that panel, I'm rather impressed by these Porphis guns as they seem better value for money compared to most out there. I'm determined to get one of these guns but atm I have a lot on my mind with Sonia and that I've lost contact with my brother I haven't heard from him for over 2 weeks which is quite worrying🤔😟 Thanks mate👍

• 
  @peteshobbies53836 күн бұрын

  Sounds like it is quite thin, so having too big a tip won't help, the 1.8bar they recommend isn't much of a guide. It will depend on the gun, on the 610, if you have it around 2.2 bar with a smaller tip, take the gun out to around 6" away, fluid on full, it will flow less with a smaller tip, you should get better results. Don't get disheartened. It can look easy sometimes, but it's not if you're new to the game. A peely finish on primer isn't a problem, you will normally sand it before base anyway, so just sand and prime again, I'm presuming you have a smaller tip?

  Pete, I'm getting ready to spray the roof (and some other parts) of my son's Mazda 3. I wanted to look at the air consumption of the various caps, I know you've done this - and in a more complete manner, but it's another data point. Obviously, I'm not directly getting CFM, but also obviously, the lower the pressure at the gun, the higher the CFM. I set my wall regulator at 40psi. 25ft hose, high flow fittings. I recorded the pressure at the gun inlet at full trigger. TE10 - 23.5psi, TE20- 18.5psi, HV30 - 13.5psi. Meiji final force R - 29 psi, Dev FLG% 25psi. To get 29psi at the inlet on the HV30 I would probably have to set the wall regulator at 60psi (guessing, I didn't do that, but I do need to!)

The Wider1L is a great gun, but judging by what you have won't really make more options available for you, whereas the Devilbiss opens up a different world as it's a full-size gun , hope that helps

  Pete I need some help what would cause my Devilbiss pro lite with a 1.2 fluid and T110 air cap with disposable paint cup spraying Acme FC720/ slow activator to seem to lose its prime when spray I let off the trigger and go back at it and it picks back up. I’ll make a pass and get maybe 16” and it loses its prime re squeeze the trigger it will pick it back up then do it again. My fluid is set one turn in from wide open , fan is 1/2 to 3/4 turn in from full width , air at 28.5 PSI . Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks for your videos it was you and the Gun Man that helped me make the decision to buy the Pro lite!

  Hi Tim, A few questions. Have you had the gun from new? , is it always cleaned immediately after use, particularly when it been used for clear coats? or at least had reducer/thinners run through it straight afte ti to clean itr? , is the fan pattern even, not top or bottom heavy?

  @@peteshobbies5383 yes I clean it between coats . My fan has always been a little light in the middle, I’m wondering if I use my cup instead of the D cup maybe the screen is to fine. My garage booth has been between 80- 90 F I’m redoing 5 percent.

  If it was new and you kept it clean, I would certainly try using the Devilbiss cup, I doubt the clear is too thick for the filter but I think maybe the cup isn't collapsing like it should. You would get the same problem with a standard cup that has the air holes blocked at the top. You should find the fan even up as well, at the settings you are using the fan shouldn't be dryer in the middle, if everything is clean, that would normally mean too high a pressure of very thin material, either of which I don't think you have by the sounds of it. Let me know how you get on ✌️

  Hi Pete, I've discovered a strange phenomenon with using upol s2080 & s2086 clear coats, I've tried many attempts at mixing my filler ratios, I've tried different fillers, I've tried longer drying times & many sealers & primers, every time i paint over a repaired area, (only happens with white & lights colours) It has a horrible reaction with the filler beneath and stains my base & clear a horrible orange/ yellow colour, looks like someone's pissed on it. I've tried another brand of clear I had and it seems to have fixed my staining bleeding problem from the filler. Have you ever had a similar problem & do you have any recommendations on a Good brand of clear i could switch to? Regards

  Hi Mate, I hadn't had a problem , I rarely do whites, I sometimes do a couple of different Honda 3 stage pearlescent whites and haven't had a problem. I use Upol 2025 primer most of the time, normally leaving it till the next day for base and clear, although if it's a bumper corner on the car, it's just lamped for 30 minutes and ok to go depending on ambient temperature. The problem of clears on whites going yellow is often bought up, some clears seem to do it, others not, it also depends on the paint system as well. If you after a good clear that isn't too expensive, try the Kapci 6030, it's very good and not too expensive, I can't say it it will help with your particular setup but may be worth a try, you can get little 1 1/2 litre kits

  This looks like exactly like the detail gun you can get at Harbor Freight (America's cheap tool shop), just with a different coating. I used it to spray some urethane primer on my scooter with the 0.6 tip at with 10% reducer, it worked fairly well. Next step, base and clear 😬

  Hi Mate, There are lots of Chinese versions of this gun, so expect Harbor Freight source from one of those manufacturers. I've never used any of the Chinese versions, so I have no idea how they compare. It sounds like it worked well for you so far. Cheers, buddy, I hope the base and clear go okay 👍

  Hi Boss, these are getting on a bit now, as you'll know, but a great gun that's very adaptable, 5 different caps and something like 9 different tip sizes, and very easy to use and set up, everything in very linear so small increments or decrements don't surprise the user. I don't use mine as much as I should, but it always puts a smile on my face when I do, cheers mate 👍

  Hi Pete, well you kept that one quiet I had no idea that there is a carbon version of the ProLite coming out do you have any pics or links for it mate🤔 Superb finish from the TE10 you can see that it's slower and you are closer to the panel with this cap, I have used this for clear and as you say it's really good but it feels slower than the T110 which is what I always use, I have a soft spot for this gun as it was my first full size gun and I cut my teeth on it as I had just started out learning this crazy hobby😬😏 Have you tried the T110 for base Pete? I can't remember trying it but I would have thought it should be a good basecoat cap🤔 ok cheers Pete👍

  Hi John, Yeah, they are making a few carbon guns, this, the GPG, and the Advance HD, I think 🤔 😉 I have tried the T110 for base. It was OK but didn't seem as nice as the TE10. They are very similar. It's just that the T110 has shorter air horns.

  Hi Andrew, Yes, I find the two perform virtually identical for clear coat, base coat I prefer the TE10, the air horns are slightly shorter on the T110 so I'm not sure if that affects basecoat but it just seems a little dry, that's full fluid with a 1.2, it's perfectly usable but not as universal as the TE10 IMHO, cheers mate 👍

  Hi Andrew, no, not really, it depends on the primer and certainly the conditions it's keeped under, most primers are pourus, so can suck up the damp, as long as it's keeped in dry, none humid conditions it should be ok, certainly it's best not to leave it too long
