I have the Tekna copper over here in the USA. I started painting cars as a hobby for family/friends and started with a harbor freight $10 gun. Anyone looking to do any kind of paint work spend the money on a quality gun. The amount of time you will save color sanding pays for itself on the first car.
or build your own at a fraction....sprectra spray gun for $99 US. Interchangeable parts with Sata, AKA good quality out of the gate. Upgradeable at any time to the point you may have to put a sata engraving on it. $$$$saver. and it sprays better than i can paint out of the box but only has a 1.3 HTE of 1.7 HVLP. been likeing the HTE but only have two guns to compare and neither are "high quality, only labeled professional lol)
I appreciate your work ethic and amazing skills. Always amazed at the quality of the work you pump out. The company that employs you is truly blessed to have an employee that actually gives a damn like you. Great video as well.
I bought 3 guns from your top 10 about 3 years ago, from Spray Guns Direct as I lived in Manchester uk. I have resprayed a lwb Ford Transit in polar white and then a lwb Sprinter in Candy Orange as you gave me insperation when sprayed your tool box in Candy, I thought I would extend my boundaries and do the van in it. I had to replace and weld 10 lower body panels and forrm inner cills, fill and sand before spraying. I remember you warming up your paint as as it was below 30'c and I was spraying in the uk winter at freezing temperatures. I now live in Qld and I shipped my Sprinter which I converted into a motorhome before shipping. I would like to thank you for your informative vids and the time and consideration you have for beginners and hobbists. Keep up your great work and dont forget to get a vid on Gunman World too. As a footnote, I can't fault S.G.Direct, family owned (as far as I know ) knowledgeable and very helpful on the phone. Be seeing you, Cheers Bing.
Nice to hear somebody actually want to replicate the original finish of the car! ...instead of people going for glass finish on a single panel, framed by factory peel 🙄
I find its good to get a professional review on all types of guns and I think it helps alot with deciding what to use on what finish you want. So thank you gunman
Good morning Gunny, finally a legitimate review and honest opinion. So many fly by nite opinions on this piece of equipment. If it makes my job better the cost is not the issue. My next job is the best job. Thanks for a valued opinion. You take care.
After using the digital version DV1 i must say its very nice not having the bulkiness underneath the gun. Will be demoing the DV1 clearcoat and most certainly will order the digital version. Rep said he can give me one for just over $600 USD
I actually have heard the term “Plus” used far earlier than the DV1 models, here in the states we have a model called a Devilbiss Plus, which is basically a modified GTI , the “ plus “ means it has a slightly larger fluid fan and about a 10-15% higher fluid flow than the traditional hvlp/ hte models, I believe for the DV1 , HVLP+ plus, just means that they have done the same , more flow of fluid or larger fan and still meeting the 10 psi air cap requirement for HVLP, vs having to raise the air cap pressure to higher than 10 psi which would then qualify the gun for HTE and not necessarily HVLP ( all paint transfer rates being equal)
I remember when I first started as a painter, I wanted to make everything look like a mirror, over-reducing everything I sprayed.. but then after the years, I stepped away from that practice and just try to match the orange peel on everything by changing gun settings, air pressure and material flow at the gun. Any gun works as long as you stick with it for some time. I don't like changing guns often. This gun looks like something you would want to use for custom complete paint jobs.
man i love your videos i never sprayed a day in my life until i watched your channel now i got a part time gig spraying Big Rigs and the guys do not belive i have only been doing it for 6 months. i really cant tell you how much of what i know if from you. thanks again
I just don´t get why you said that the Supernova will get more flatter than a Prolite. the T10 and T110 both will get super flat with proper aplication (more psi , closer to the panel , and slowing down a bit). will use less material also cause the supernova will throw the clear in the ventilation system more than on the panel :)
Somewhat a beginner in the sense I have done enough to feel I can upgrade to a good permanent gun. I need to contact spray gun direct and have them explain differnt nozzels. I think they make the difference between making it an HVLP and LVLP.
From what I've seen, you can get the three standard guns for each market without fiddling too much with the settings: American= Devilbiss Prolites, European=Sata 5000, and Asian=Iwata W400
Love Your videos! As a paint hobbyist(at best) I am finding myself reviewing ALL of your videos.. so many great tips and tricks! Thank YOU! Finding the old one (2014?) about fixing a run with putty- what a great idea! I always get "Gloss Greedy" and get a run. My Cheap Ass guns fault usually ;) - Your a master at your craft, that's for sure!!
Great review. Thinking about buying that gun for my restoration projects (all full resprays, so I don't have to worry about replicating factory peel 😉) And I salute you on your work ethics, not many like you around! Goals right there!
Ya know. I wonder if the digital gauge differs from the analog gauge because it is closer to the air cap. So it is maybe trying to read pressure at the air cap
hey gunny, quick question, i went middle of the road on most of my supplies ( its a garage job on about 60% of a 2006 c280. Perfect practice car... have plans for the gun in the future and legit jobs i want to do on my truck and bike im not going to just flip. Ive been DIY from the get go... had a failure on the roof with a gloss black basic mix color (cheap) It was general paint GenRock from the local shop. It was 55 * F outside and raining. Have a hell of an exhaust sytem rigged with 3 1/2 HP air movers used for flooded rooms etc. and a box fan intake. But i brought temp up to 81*F and that dropped humidty to 36%. pulled my insulated heat vent out and put the FILTERED (via Tape and a washable trim to fit particle filter good down to 60 mircrons, but the air has to turn a corner by design hopefully with air pariticles clung to the reverse staltic clung plastic cling side out. base coat flash at 76* F is 5-10 min. I lightly dusted the roof in gloss black , 5 min light dust again in a 90 direction 5 mins first coat. Solvent pop like a son of a bitch......was it the propane heat/ vapors? only other environmental that made it in is a single dog hair. Ive built 3 Paint booths as an electrician and serviced a few other. I completely get the concept, question is without spending any more of flippinf this repo, how can i clear the air without dropping must temperature and introducing the Humidity? Local guy says febreeze the garage with solvent prior to the first coat, good advice? sounds good?
Great video it produces a amazing finish.have you tried a sata 5000 or 5500 clearcoat gun compared to the dv1 im in need of a new better clearcoat gun but I'm unsure which one to go for.but watching your video on the dv1 im very tempted to buy one
Hey man. Im not sure to ask this question but can you do a video on the fastest way to mask. I noticed how you hold the tape around your wrist. Is there a good way to keep it around your wrist without putting it down and run long lines. If so that would be a really good video for a step by step. I cant find a video like that any where on youtube.
I’ve been looking for a 3rd clear gun and I’ve been interested in devilbiss for a while but never bought one. I clear with iwata Lph400 1.4 and ws 400 supernova 1.3 . Watching this video gave me great insight on this gun and looking for opinions on the sata 5500 i
Always a pleasure to watch you paint Gunny!😊 Is there an SRi version of the DV1 yet? I only use mini-guns as I'm primarily painting frames, so the full-sized guns are a bit unwieldy.
. As I started out I worked to make it nicer every job. Well on a ford suv I did one day it came out to slick and was worried it would stand out to the customer and said I wanted to re do it and my boss said no and went to deliver the truck. Well the customer wouldn’t expect it and had to re do it in the end. If not carful it is definitely something that will bite you in the end.
Yeah man, can't say I've ever had a customer pick it but it doesn't surprise me. But to be honest, I reckon most people would think orange peel is the skin of citrus fruits.
What's the difference between that and the T110 air cap mate it's has smaller holes and lays like glass already ? Can't see the point myself unless it's amazing
Well it's basically the same but with a bigger fan, I actually did a head to head comparison with T110 and C1 DV1 and that's what I found, I did prefer the DV1 but as I say, it's going to be up to the individual if they can justify the cost.
Thanks mate that's what I thought really I've got a Lite pro Nebula T20 and have just bought a gold Lite pro with the T110 I had one before and sold it and regretted it ever since your work was amazing as always but to me looked very similar the the T110 so thanks mate saved me some money till they come down a bit 🤣
Greetings from Mexico Gunman, thanks for your vids, always pleasing watch your new products review.. question..what gun lays clear coat flattest? I need it to classic cars with medium solids clear coat and I have the gti pro lite T110 air cap 1.2, but I don't know if the ws400 or this dv1 C1 could give me flatter results.
I'm in the U.S.A. MY DV1 came with 1.2 1.3 and 1.4 fluid nozzles. So did my DV1 base guns. Do you have to buy all of the nozzles separately in AUSTRALIA
Im just starting out painting and figuring what all it takes to paint properly. I bought a Devilbiss Starting Line kit before I subscribed to your channel and you've helped me out a lot. I still can't get the painting down right, no matter what I do, I can't get rid of this orange peel. I've tried reducing it but this is definitely something that takes a lot of patience and understanding.
I like textured guns.. One of the reasons why i love my Phaser so much. Absolutly agree with you on the OEM- Peel, most people don't get it. Sad to see they still can't deliver a proper Digital Gauge.. Nice Video Gunny, nice gun, hope to get my hands on one soon.. Still waiting for the Black Mamba.. Cheers
Any recommendations for spray high solids clear we are using a metalux 9706 and 9707 mixture. 9706 is fast and 9707 is slow and you can create your own mixture I'm using the same dv1 clear gun
I have been using this gun with a 1.3 for clear and find it pretty sweet . I need to use it for paint as well now but am worried it will get ruined. Can I use it for both as long as I keep it clean as ? Or should I buy the base gun as well. Since the one I have is labelled as a "clear coat gun" cheers man love your vids !!!
The air cap does swap over but putting the clear air cap on the base coat gun does not make it the same as the clear gun unless you switch both the fluid tip and air cap
For me I think this gun would work good I do a lot of full restoration the flatter the better because it's the whole car most of the time no orange peel less cut and buff lol
So you like the gti pro light more for replicating the original finish of the car.But i search for a gun for restaurations so i paint complete vehicels and want a absolut perfect flat finish.Would you prefer then the dv1?
Honestly I'd go something like the Iwata WS400 Supernova in 1.3HD go see my Iwata Hakone vid, it's my most recent upload if you look through my channel
Man I'm terrified I just screwed up. My company switched paintlines and were losing our SATA 5000s. Were switching to sherwin William's 9k and I guess they're giving me 1 devillbiss gti pro. I bought the dv1 clear gun and the dv1 basegun. These are the first guns I've ever bought and I spent 1200 for the 2. Ive been painting for 3 years but I've been solo for 4 months now. Did I screw up? I work for a huge ass collision repair company we do all kinds of jobs. I'm worried about you saying it being too flat.
It's not that bad. What size tip? I find the 1.3 better for clear to replicate OEM finish. You'll be able to dial it in, lower the pressure if it is spraying too flat. Honestly I think the pro lite is better haha.
@@TheGunmanChannel I actually cancelled my order this am. I was spending about 1300 for the dv1 base and clear guns and I really dont have that kind of money. I need to get guns because the paint company is taking all of their satas back. I'm assuming you would reccomend a few gti pro lites for base and clear? They're giving me one so I figured for around the same price I could probably pick up a bade gun, clear gun and a sealer gun? Any tips or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. I've always sprayed what we have here so I dont have a ton of experience with different guns.
@@rossreed995 if it was me I'd get 2X pro lites, one for base and one for clear, 1.2-1.3 on one of them and 1.4-1.3 on the other, pro lites come with 2 tips these days which is handy. And I'd get a TE10 for the water base and a TE20 for clear, you could try swapping caps and tips around until you find what suits you best. I'd also get an FLG5 1.4 for wet on wet primer, and as a helper gun, you know sometimes you need to spray a 2nd colour, in fact I'd probably get 2 of them also, but that's if you can afford it. Hope that helps, also I understand not wanting to spend a fortune on guns.
@@TheGunmanChannel this may sound really stupid but the tekna pro lite and gti pro lites are different guns correct? I'm looking on sprayzone and they have GTI pro lites but not tekna.
I’m jealous Gunman.. last time I got a new gun was about 4yrs ago..(iwata ws400 super nova) just can’t seem to save enough to make more of a investment.
@@TheGunmanChannel Im working on a 55 chevy Belair. I just need a gun that will lay down the smoothest finish possible. Can you get that with the Bellairia? Or the Pro Lite?
I have the Tekna copper over here in the USA. I started painting cars as a hobby for family/friends and started with a harbor freight $10 gun. Anyone looking to do any kind of paint work spend the money on a quality gun. The amount of time you will save color sanding pays for itself on the first car.
Joe Schenweld great gun. I use it all the time on my channel
Same here in the USA ,buy a quality gun ,I use Iwata bellaria ,junked 10 shit guns,unbelievable,1 day I’ll try a tekna..
or build your own at a fraction....sprectra spray gun for $99 US. Interchangeable parts with Sata, AKA good quality out of the gate. Upgradeable at any time to the point you may have to put a sata engraving on it. $$$$saver. and it sprays better than i can paint out of the box but only has a 1.3 HTE of 1.7 HVLP. been likeing the HTE but only have two guns to compare and neither are "high quality, only labeled professional lol)

You are the main man on youtube for this type of stuff.
Well done !
Thanks mate!! 😃
Nice to see you back gunny
I really like the looks of the gun. Solid point about matching factory orange peel as it is the last part of the puzzle in being a great painter.
Just go the FLG5...........great gun......best I ever bought.
Glad to see you're back gunny
Welcome back mate
Flatter is perfect for restorations. Im so glad you made this video !
Good to see you posting, you've been missed. Awesome Gun !!
Welcome back Gunny hope all was good while you were off the air great review as always

Good to see you back mate. Make sure you don't head for burn out by doing to many.
Chris and the folks at Spray Guns Direct are some great people and ship next day to the 🇺🇸 💯👍
Good to see a new video gunny! We've missed you! Here in Texas
California is suffering more
Great review Gunny. Thanks for taking the time to give us a new video :)
We were waiting for you...nice minimal gun
Would a DV1 Clear and DV1 Base combo also be capable single stage equipment for good flat restoration project?
man i love your videos i never sprayed a day in my life until i watched your channel now i got a part time gig spraying Big Rigs and the guys do not belive i have only been doing it for 6 months. i really cant tell you how much of what i know if from you. thanks again
The Man. The Legend. Wow Gunny I just got this gun and feel like a professional painter. My hood came out like Glass :). God Bless man..
Hello gunny,good to have you back,that gun looks sick,hope your well m8 👍
Good to hear from you again Gunny.
I'm from Indonesia. I'm a paint technician. In my opinion, it's the perfect result. No need to polish it.
Welcome back gunman 👍
I just don´t get why you said that the Supernova will get more flatter than a Prolite. the T10 and T110 both will get super flat with proper aplication (more psi , closer to the panel , and slowing down a bit). will use less material also cause the supernova will throw the clear in the ventilation system more than on the panel :)
I went off the supernova after getting a big hanger anyway. Haven't used it in ages
Somewhat a beginner in the sense I have done enough to feel I can upgrade to a good permanent gun. I need to contact spray gun direct and have them explain differnt nozzels. I think they make the difference between making it an HVLP and LVLP.
That's an awesome gun to have, the result says it all, great review Gunman.
Awesome vid keep making them I have learned a lot from your video and have used them in my shop
Hey !!! Welcome back Gunny...hope ya had a good break👍👍.. This gun has kinda a Walcom look with texture and color.
L
Welcome back,where have you been.my evening viewing hasn't been the same.
Very interesting to hear your opinion about some parts looking too good compared to factory paint. As a DIY I never thought of that before.
From what I've seen, you can get the three standard guns for each market without fiddling too much with the settings: American= Devilbiss Prolites, European=Sata 5000, and Asian=Iwata W400
I just bought the dv-1 , can’t wait to get it
welcome back gunnie.........hope you've used your 'time off' wisely lol - chillin' lol
mas cervesas por favor!!!!
Finally you are back lol i missed you bro
Hope it was worth the wait, I have just been having a break man.
Love my dv1 basecoat applicator! One of the best on the market today.
Love Your videos! As a paint hobbyist(at best) I am finding myself reviewing ALL of your videos.. so many great tips and tricks! Thank YOU! Finding the old one (2014?) about fixing a run with putty- what a great idea! I always get "Gloss Greedy" and get a run. My Cheap Ass guns fault usually ;) - Your a master at your craft, that's for sure!!
Don’t be a stranger 😆. Glad to see new material Gunny. Nice work as always
Hi Gunman I've missing your video's, I'm glad you are back again with amazing video's as always way's 🖒🖒🖒
Welcome back gun man
Great review.
Thinking about buying that gun for my restoration projects (all full resprays, so I don't have to worry about replicating factory peel 😉)
And I salute you on your work ethics, not many like you around!
Goals right there!
Aaaaayyyy... Gunny's back
Great stuff bro. I got a walcom some time back and now i really want to try out this! Keep the vidoes coming!
Awesome gun ! Great demo ! 👍
finally..,the waiting.. is over.. thanks gunny
Ya know. I wonder if the digital gauge differs from the analog gauge because it is closer to the air cap. So it is maybe trying to read pressure at the air cap
How does this compare to the orange tekna clearcoat gun? Could you review that one for us!!
hey gunny, quick question, i went middle of the road on most of my supplies ( its a garage job on about 60% of a 2006 c280.

Ohhhhhh ive missed your videos

DUDE!! where had you gone to we have been waiting for your videos :) :)
I’ve been looking for a 3rd clear gun and I’ve been interested in devilbiss for a while but never bought one. I clear with iwata Lph400 1.4 and ws 400 supernova 1.3 . Watching this video gave me great insight on this gun and looking for opinions on the sata 5500 i
Always a pleasure to watch you paint Gunny!😊 Is there an SRi version of the DV1 yet? I only use mini-guns as I'm primarily painting frames, so the full-sized guns are a bit unwieldy.
You are such a good painter man
I wish they would improve the Starting Line paint guns. At least give them more durability
nice spray gun ...the clear lays down flat.......looks great...
Missed u bro a lot,great job
Use it for Lexus finishes maybe ?
Chat clear did you used?
Love your videos keep up the good work

Hey mate which one do you rate more for clear between the dv1 basecoat gun and dv1 clear gun?
They both lay it flat. The dv1 clear sprays a little faster though
Greetings from Mexico Gunman, thanks for your vids, always pleasing watch your new products review.. question..what gun lays clear coat flattest? I need it to classic cars with medium solids clear coat and I have the gti pro lite T110 air cap 1.2, but I don't know if the ws400 or this dv1 C1 could give me flatter results.
Just got the dv1 clear gun and was wondering could u spray base coat with this gun?
good morning from the other side of the world!!!
Please tell me the setting of spray gun and the combination of clear.
what an Awesome review!... someday i will be able to upgrade my 15+ year old guns...
Buy second hand mate that's what I did at first get a hardly used second hand at half the price 😁
I'm in the U.S.A. MY DV1 came with 1.2 1.3 and 1.4 fluid nozzles. So did my DV1 base guns. Do you have to buy all of the nozzles separately in AUSTRALIA
Im just starting out painting and figuring what all it takes to paint properly. I bought a Devilbiss Starting Line kit before I subscribed to your channel and you've helped me out a lot.

Absolutly agree with you on the OEM- Peel, most people don't get it.
Sad to see they still can't deliver a proper Digital Gauge..
Nice Video Gunny, nice gun, hope to get my hands on one soon..
Still waiting for the Black Mamba..
Cheers
Any recommendations for spray high solids clear we are using a metalux 9706 and 9707 mixture. 9706 is fast and 9707 is slow and you can create your own mixture I'm using the same dv1 clear gun
I have been using this gun with a 1.3 for clear and find it pretty sweet . I need to use it for paint as well now but am worried it will get ruined. Can I use it for both as long as I keep it clean as ? Or should I buy the base gun as well. Since the one I have is labelled as a "clear coat gun" cheers man love your vids !!!
I would leave one for clear personally. I like the Tekna Prolite to spray all my bases at the moment....another amazing gun
so for the base gun what tip size should i be using for both clear and base coat? 1.3?
Will the air cap work on the dv1 base gun and effectively make it a base and clear gun?
The air cap does swap over but putting the clear air cap on the base coat gun does not make it the same as the clear gun unless you switch both the fluid tip and air cap
For me I think this gun would work good I do a lot of full restoration the flatter the better because it's the whole car most of the time no orange peel less cut and buff lol
To base coat and clear coat, always fluid full sir ?
So you like the gti pro light more for replicating the original finish of the car.But i search for a gun for restaurations so i paint complete vehicels and want a absolut perfect flat finish.Would you prefer then the dv1?
Honestly I'd go something like the Iwata WS400 Supernova in 1.3HD go see my Iwata Hakone vid, it's my most recent upload if you look through my channel
Honest review gunny......top work ✌️
They are having an amazing deal on them at the moment. Not even 600$
WHICH GUN TO CLEAR DO YOU RECOMMEND ME PLEASE GUNN
Can I use this for paint too
Wow ,nice end results
Man I've been going through gunny withdrawals...been working my way thru the old vids 😂
Man I'm terrified I just screwed up. My company switched paintlines and were losing our SATA 5000s. Were switching to sherwin William's 9k and I guess they're giving me 1 devillbiss gti pro. I bought the dv1 clear gun and the dv1 basegun. These are the first guns I've ever bought and I spent 1200 for the 2. Ive been painting for 3 years but I've been solo for 4 months now. Did I screw up? I work for a huge ass collision repair company we do all kinds of jobs. I'm worried about you saying it being too flat.
It's not that bad. What size tip? I find the 1.3 better for clear to replicate OEM finish. You'll be able to dial it in, lower the pressure if it is spraying too flat. Honestly I think the pro lite is better haha.

I actually cancelled my order this am. I was spending about 1300 for the dv1 base and clear guns and I really dont have that kind of money. I need to get guns because the paint company is taking all of their satas back. I'm assuming you would reccomend a few gti pro lites for base and clear? They're giving me one so I figured for around the same price I could probably pick up a bade gun, clear gun and a sealer gun? Any tips or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. I've always sprayed what we have here so I dont have a ton of experience with different guns.
@@rossreed995 if it was me I'd get 2X pro lites, one for base and one for clear, 1.2-1.3 on one of them and 1.4-1.3 on the other, pro lites come with 2 tips these days which is handy. And I'd get a TE10 for the water base and a TE20 for clear, you could try swapping caps and tips around until you find what suits you best. I'd also get an FLG5 1.4 for wet on wet primer, and as a helper gun, you know sometimes you need to spray a 2nd colour, in fact I'd probably get 2 of them also, but that's if you can afford it. Hope that helps, also I understand not wanting to spend a fortune on guns.
@@TheGunmanChannel this may sound really stupid but the tekna pro lite and gti pro lites are different guns correct? I'm looking on sprayzone and they have GTI pro lites but not tekna.
@@rossreed995 they are the same guns, I use Spraygunsdirect.co.uk for all my guns, they ship to USA fast too
I’m jealous Gunman.. last time I got a new gun was about 4yrs ago..(iwata ws400 super nova) just can’t seem to save enough to make more of a investment.
That’s the only gun you need. I use it on my channel all the time
I get complaints allot that the new paint makes the rest look bad
missed you brother!
Great review!!!!!!
What's a good gun to get the peely European finish. Cheers
Anything HVLP
Nice videos Bro! I do restoration work. classic cars. Between this gun and the WS 400 ..which gun gives a flatter finish..Less cut and buff
I'd say they're very similar, but this gun is much more user friendly. The Iwatas are so unforgiving.
@@TheGunmanChannel Im working on a 55 chevy Belair. I just need a gun that will lay down the smoothest finish possible. Can you get that with the Bellairia? Or the Pro Lite?
You can get that with the Pro lite T110.
