Would you rate this gun or the Walcom slim kombat 1.3 hte?
I still love all 3 of mine and they are absolute workhorses. I use a 1.8 for primer filler the 1.4 for barcoat or sealer and the other 1.4 for vhs or uhs clearcoat. Never had a problem.
Gunman. I've been a painter since I was 18. I am now 56. Used and bought many guns. Sprayed many cars, bikes, and garden gnomes (long story LOL). I just purchased the FLG5 from SGD and I am blown away! The FLG5 in my opinion hands down is hard to beat for it's price and versatility. My current profession is painting jetliners. This old dog just learned a new trick and am grateful for your videos. Keep up the great work mate!
Quick
Bought the flg5 round 7 months ago and was using it for everything. Now bought a gti pro for my clear but still use the flg5 for primer and base. All because of you Gunman I bought it, Ive learnt from all your videos and now I've done 3 full resprays now, I get people coming to me for small jobs. And they come back and are more than happy with the work. It's now my full time job and haven't worked for a body shop and don't plan to as I enjoy being my own boss
I use the FLG5 for 1k Primer and sometimes 2K Single Stage Paint or Clearcoat. I love the Sata and Iwata Guns, but for the price (in Germany it's around 100€)) it's a really nice gun. Easy to use, easy to clean, kind of a workshopwh... you can throw around and don't have to care a lot about and still works.
The point about the retaining ring on the aircap is rather a positive thing to me when it comes to cleaning, I can't really see an issue there. Sure, it's not the prettiest gun on the market and not the best made, but hey, look at the price, what do you expect?! Even the cheapest Satas (100 and 1000 Series) start at around 220€, the Iwatas are even a little bit more expensive here.
Especially for beginners or DIY guys it's a really good gun to start with, in my opinion. But even as a professional in a workshop, for Primer, 2k Single Stage or just as a backup Gun, you will be happy.
Greetings from Germany!
Could you please give the shop where this gun can be bought for 100 €? The less expensive that I found was for 180€. Thank you
@@gaborkoncz9893 I bought it from Hellmann Oberflächentechnik Bremen
@@Jonas___ Thank you Jonas.
+1 for the FLG5, 30 Year trade veteran use my FLG daily, have been SATA my whole career.
i watched loads of the gunman videos on the flg5 and other sprayguns before purchasing the flg5 and gotta say i love the gun .So big thumbs up to the gunman for such a good honest review on this brilliant gun .
I use pro lite ! And i just bought the flg5 and its make good job i love it ! Perfect for Europe cars !
GR, from Netherlands 👍🏻
The Gunman watches Tim Poole? I never would have guessed.
Haha, how did you know that, did you see me leave a comment?
Hay Gunny , hi there from South Africa , Flg5 great gun bought mine on your recommendation from sprayguns direct been using mine for around 4 years still going great , I actually got a Satajet 5000 rp 1.4 that I bought from a bud for 150$ but tried everything can't seem to get Japanese finish right no problem with the Flg5 , won't believe it but I'm using that Satajet for 2k primer wat a waste ! I'm a Diy guy but put out about two jobs a week constantly , that's after hours . Saving up for a pro Lite but but with the 💷 to Rand exchange rate it's pretty expensive about what two complete sprayjob would cost ! Always a pleasure to watch your vids !!! They say if you don't ask you'll never know so I'm asking , if you ever have a pro Lite gathering dust for a decent price I'm in the market ☺ !!
Would love a comparison video on flg5 1.3 and 1.4 for 2k solid paint, just bought the flg5 1.8 for primer, have sata 4000 for clear, pro lite for water base, was using a cheap gun for 2k but defo need an upgrade, any advise on which you would recommend would be great 👍 loving the videos 😁
Cheers, Mate. Good to see a Video from you again. Greetings from Germany
i have the 1.4 and absolutely love it lays glass but ya at 35psi seems to have a good amount of overspray, does the 1.3 lay glass just as well?
Big fan mate due to your review on FLG 5 went out and bought one 1st time spraying with a spray gun for a amateur painted my vy ss ute the gun made my paint job a lot easier then expected keep up the good work mate
I have a pretty big investment in pps, what's the pps2 all about? I see you're using it.
Just got myself a FLG and watching this made me feel even better! Thx
Would you rate this one higher than the GTI with a TE20 aircap? I'll be using mostly direct gloss 2K paint to restore classic cars. I like the paint to lay as flat / glass like as possible to minimize buffing. Another alternative I'm considering is a satajet 100 BF RP. Especially also interested in your views regarding a 1.3 vs 1.4 tip, I've always used 1.4 but always had slight orange peel. I think the 1.3 would lay flatter. Thanks again
Brought a flg5 on your recommendation gunny and it's awesome for me . Great video 👍
Just bought 2 after the great review you did mate . It's very well made , sure I'll be happy with these.
Thank Gunman. Sprayed my M3 with my new FLG-5 and hands down a very good gun. Painted small parts before and this is my first whole car and it’s absolutely stunning.
What's Ur review after all these months of ownership I also wanna spray my e46
I have the FLG5 and it has worked great as a primer gun. I noticed that the last couple times i used it, it leaks air from where the need goes through in front of the trigger. I have cleaned the gun and need, I have tightened and loosened the nut where the needle goes through but no change. I have also changed needles and still have the issue. Have you experienced this before?
On Gunny's rec' I bought 3 SGK600BV's, 1x base, 1x clearcoat, and 1.8 for primer (the browny coloured one). Have sprayed plenty of solvent base and clear through them. Today I sprayed Auto Air sealer and Sparklescent pearl water base on an aircraft - worked well. Although, the smaller tip would have helped with the pearl. Didn't entirely like how the 1.8 sprayed (pattern uneven), but gets the job done. Just got an Iwata Bellaria and a Lotus WS400... will be interesting to compare. Devilbiss always felt strange to me, might be because I sprayed Iwata suction feed 25 years ago with acrylics and enamel. Not used to the oval pattern, and gun so close to the work. Gunny brought me into the 2000's, and made painting enjoyable again. Thanks mate.
Tbh, my flg5 has been very disappointing, bought it when they first came out, needle packing would always grab the needle and then dribble paint and ruin jobs, even with the nut backed right off, the needle and nozzle started to not seal after maybe 5lt of paint, and now it leaks air from the control nobs, early gun or Friday afternoon gun, maybe the newer ones are better quality.
That's a pity to hear, I've had nothing but good results with mine.
The same with mine bought it little bit more than a year i only use it 5 or 6 times and now start leaking air from the air pressure control knob i talk with chris and he told me that they don't replace it because they has to send it to devilbiss and devilbiss company is gone to return to spraygunsdirect and now is garbage because there is not repair for that gun.
@@fernandosaldana3665 Devilbis did not want to help with mine either.
@@evojigger i have also gpi and pro lite seems to be much more better quality and better finish but for some reason i feel more comfortable with iwatas i have the bellaria and ws400 black mamba.
I got an Flg 5 after watching a heap of your videos , got the 1.4 , also got a 1.8 tip for primer
Just finished painting my sister's falcon at home, and it looks pretty bloody good
Thanks Gunman you have no idea how much you helped me 👍
Heavy gun, clumsy, hard to clean....did I mention heavy.....too much overspray. Same price AS A iWATA w400, BUT NOT AS GOOD AS AN iWATA! tHE flg5 IS UGLY WITH A giant nozzel assembly....all over disproportionate!
Hello
I have a solvent-based base coat from Standox Black
How do I dilute it? With what thinner? I have 250 ml, how much thinner should I add?
Hi gun man,you're realy professionell painter .
I wanna asking about devilbiss slg wich i bought New.
What is you're experience about this gun. devilbiss slg.
I have already saw youre Video , but you dont comented this gun.I thank you in advance for the answer.
Keep cool man
I have been daily using a flg5 about 3 years now. Amazing gun for the price. Im looking into maybe a dv1 or gti pro lite for clearcoat. Hence the reason im in the comments lol
I learned about spraygunsdirect on your vids
I am interested in the Graco razor that is listed on spraygunsdirect. Have you ever review it or plan on doing a review on it. It looks like a nice American made gun. Am trying to stay away from knockoffs.
I've always had good results with Devilbiss guns and can be just as productive with a good less expensive gun than I can with very expensive guns I'm not a big fan of spending way too much just for a name.
Is there possibilty to buy only 1.3 fluid tip because I already have FLG 5 with 1.4 and 1.8 setup? Probably 1.3 and 1.4 use same needle..
That's possible, but I can't confirm. It may be worth sending Chris at info@spraygunsdirect.co.uk an email and see what he says.
Thank you for your videos.
I never spray painted a car therefore, no nothing beside what I learn on UA-cam. Would it be possible for you to propose a detailed beginner’s spray gun kit, supposing that the car is ready to be primed.
Thank you in advance !
Keep up the good work !
Another great video! Have been watching for years, definitely the best spray gun reviews on UA-cam
I'm a "beginner" painter and bought this on your recommendation from an older video you done on budget guns and for the price i can't fault this
I agree with the fan pattern being it’s only downfall for an average gun. Started with this, now it’s my primer and back up paint gun for simpler, less important jobs. It’s an excellent primer / sealer gun. The limited fan spray just eliminates it in a lot of situations or higher end jobs. The gti is still the workhorse in our shop
Side note Time warp uses a $180 gun and paints better than you sooooo it’s not all the gun.
Absolutely love all the posts Gunman! In the process of updating some equipment, I will give it a go, many thanks for the constant inspiration 🤘
I'm new to spray guns, please help me! Is this gun hvlp or lvlp? And It would work with epoxy primers and urethane paints? Thx
What’s the difference between the Compliance and Compatible versions on this gun?
I bought one when you first recommended it, and it was made in England, not Brazil like the very early ones. Biggest fan I've seen on a cheaper gun. Ten times nicer than the FLG4
Dude, you gush over Devilbiss product as if it was your centerfold, high school crush!👀💯👍
I purchased one of these on your recommendation and have to say it’s easy to use as a novice and gives a real good finish ...very pleased with it 👍
hi, is this the same as DV905163 FLG because i can't find flg5 anywhere?thanks!
Ordered mine for beginner gun. I’ll get a nicer one later and use this for primer gun.
Ordered on Friday from the US and it arrived from the UK in 4 days via DHL. Super fast. I dont think it would arrive that fast even if I bought a gun in the US. You need to also note that you can buy other size needles and caps for the gun on their website. I also got a 3M adapter.
I had the same good experience from Spray Guns Direct in the UK. Actually I ordered this gun on a Thursday night and it was here Monday afternoon! I was pleasantly shocked. It was also my first experience with DHL. There tracking was accurate and superb, I especially liked that they text me when they were only a few deliveries away.. I appreciated the heads up. Phillip Hall
EVERTHING in Australia is EXPENSIVE.
My compressor is only 1.5 HP, would this gun be ok with this gun?
How is it a material consumption . No one ever talks about material consumption. I like to know if it’s a material hog or is a conservative gun
I have to say my ANI F160 is pretty awesome. It was under $200 US shipped. But if the FLG5 is that price, I may to make another order from spraygunsdirect.
Well, I ordered the FLG5 from Spraygunsdirect.co.uk, also picked up the PPS adapters. Can’t wait to use it! It was shipped quickly, arrived in 3 days of order.
I want flg5 1.3 where to buy? Thailand has only 1.4 1.8 2.0
Nice gun, thanks for the heads-up. I like that the aircap is 2 piece, easier to make sure it's clean. $165 USD shipped to the US via DHL, 4 day delivery too!
where can i buy in usa
@@jessepeterson2718 you'll pay more in the US.
Is the DV905163 the same as flg5? Somebody please help
awesome review gunny.i love it.do it work perfectly in 2hp compresor?God Bless you always bro.
i love your videos they have helped me in many ways ....
What is a decent gun to use on two k solvent gloss paint at home
Gunman, how many times did you adjust the amount of color?
Might be a dumb question but is a super cheap gun better than a spray can?
For the past 8 years that all am use it work good for 3
Just picked one up on your recommendation gunman!
Can't wait to spray my fully hektik VS commodores
The issue i have with this gun is on the air adjustment, air just leak from there. Is that just on my gun or is the common problem?
Got mine about 2 years ago also because of Gunneys recommendation. Same issue as you after about 4 liters thru it. Took it apart, put it back together no leak so far. Can't remember exactly what the fix was. I think it was an o-ring that wasn't seated correctly?
After about 16 liters the packing gland (needle seal forward of the trigger) started leaking. It started to make the fan pulse so it's unusable until I re-pack it.
I'm going to order another FLG with two full rebuild kits. I like the gun, it sprays very well. However the following pisses me off to no end. The #@!!$%~#~ lid doesn't fit the cup. There is just enough difference in the threads to make putting it on and off a nightmare every damn time. The PPS type system was on the horizon so that will fix that. It still pisses me off though.
best gun, just did this kombi with it and the finish came out great!!
Hi Gunny. Been watching your videos for years, you do a great job. I just ordered a FLG5 from SGD in the UK. They beat the best price in oz by around $40 or more. Been painting since 1966, first decent gun I have ever bought. Sick of guns that work for a while and then start spluttering and dripping.
Keep up the good work
Thanks for the awesome review. I ended up placing an order today. Can't wait to try it out. Can you or any other viewers comment on which PPS 2.0 Adapter I would need or perhaps the thread specs for the cup connector so I can order correct size?
You will need the S15 PPS2 adapter mate.
@@TheGunmanChannel thank you! Appreciate that you take the time make these videos and answer questions! Cheers!
I’m thinking of buying this spray gun but i have seen lots of options i.e
1.3mm 1.4mm 1.8mm fluid tip
Anyone recommend what size to buy many thanks
Might be getting one of those! Thanks for all the tips and time and time you put into to your channel. Just got my first order from spray guns direct. Got my first Pro-Lite. And one of your sweaters and a lab coat with the Gunman logo. And I must say I was excited to get to work for the first time in a while. And it shipped to me within 5 days! And I live in the states!
I got one and it works great ! You can also buy a bigger needle and cap to spray primer if your on a budget
Does it make sense to buy a GPI if you already have an FLG5, or would it be better to buy a GTI right away? Is the GPI more of a stopgap? I am happy with the FLG5 for daily use , but now I want to paint the whole car and want to upgrade. Can you make a comparison of the 3?
Hay Gunny heres the flg5 on the kombi :) ua-cam.com/video/TlVDMlVpfTM/v-deo.html

I bought this gun on your recommendation
I dont do that much spraying but I have just picked one of these up second hand for £40 for primer work, I love the way it sprays that much I am considering buying another brand new for top coats, great informative video keep up the goodwork and check out my channel for restoration work
Is the FLG the same as the FLG5? I can’t find the FLG5…?
FLG 5* not flg5
Hi mate well i am not a painters bootlace but i do have a crack mainly boats which to be honest have turned out reasonably good even for the eyes of a pro painter who i showed ( good flowing paint i rekon not skill) , anyway i have done 3 boats over a 15 year period with my el cheapo hvlp gun but i think it may be time to retire it even though i have looked after it well it may just have to be a primer gun from now on . This gun is not expensive as you say and my question is how do you think this would go using 2 pack epoxy as this is normally what i use on the boats for toughness ,any engine cowels ,legs ect are done in 2 pack urethane, anyway so thats my question before i run out and buy one ,
Hey bro I am a big fan of the devil bliss guns I've noticed that they are selling them on wish like ya GTI pro lite 1 of my favorites and like dirt cheap like 150 to 200 normally they are abt 500$ nz are these guns real deal or cheap knock offs?
yes, i can see that it sprays the water base coat; what the guy meant was the "solvent" designation means the type of o-rings in the gun are different, ie rubber or synthetic, one WILL degrade with solvent based paint/ cleaning fluids, others don't, which allows them to be used on either paint material, the worry is if the o-rings stand up to the SOLVENT, not that they are OK with water based material, ALL gaskets (other than paper, of coarse) are suitable for water.
Hi friend... I like this gun and I think the air cup it's exactly the same with the old gti 110... What do you think about this?
What tip would you use for a metellic 2k paint Altantis blue. I want to buy one for home use
Hey bro , I’ve had mixed reviews on the Vx Calais I’m going to be painting . I’ve had to hit bare metal here and there to see where I’m at with panel work. 6 areas to be precise . This is my first respray btw . I went out and got 2l of epoxy probably use 1l to seal so I’m working on a fresh surface without having to go back to complete bare metal. Is epoxy primer a thing of the past . After I lay down epoxy as a sealer I was going to hi build 2 coats block it then 1 more hi build, sand, then 2 coats of garnet red pearl followed by 2-3 coats clear being first time I was thinking 3 so it gives me room to sand and polish. Can you guide me in the right direction bro
Gunman you make brilliant videos. Watched allor leant allor. I being reaseaching and cant find answer. My devilbriss gti pro. Brilliant. Well every gun see you use you have an adapter thing on and different sort of paint cup. Need a video to teach us about these paint pots and adapter and what there called and there benifits.
Over to using the standard paint pot on gravity guns.
Loook forward to video soon. I hope
almost every gun you recommend isn't available in the U.S. i don't know why maybe it has something to do with regulations. Of course i can order it from the UK but that is a big expense and a long wait.
You don’t need to spend big money to get a good paint job as long as you know how to paint I do it all the time....
Will this work for small compressors?
Hello gunman! I will turn my devilbiss flg 515 1.3 into 1.1 for minor repairs, will it pay off? here in Brazil we have the option of using the flg 515 kit for airless which is nozzle 1.1
I love both of my FLG5`s and im looking forward to getting the 1.3
So you'd generally recommend 1.3 version over 1.4 as a general purpose gun to use at home? Would it work well with acrylic metallic base and HS clear (whole car paint job)? Sorry for repeating/newbie questions, don't wanna go wrong with this.
Acrylic generally sprays better with a larger tip. So go with the 1.4 for acrylic, it will also spray colour no probs. But if you were spraying 2k I'd recommend the 1.3.
@@TheGunmanChannel Sorry I maybe said it wrong, I meant: solvent based basecoat (not wateborne) plus high solid clearcoat on top of it.
@@hunger997 in that case I'd go with the 1.3. now if you can justify the extra money I'd highly recommend looking at this gun. I have a review coming this Friday if you can wait. www.spraygunsdirect.co.uk/index.php/devilbiss-gpg-all-purpose-gravity-spraygun-formerly-known-as-devilbiss-gpi.html#sthash.0d0tTGTj.dpbs

I have a devilbliss flg 5 (1.4), is it possible to purchase a 1.3 kit to use it with the flg5? And if yes from where ? Thanks and well done.
I'm thinking of getting this gun or something similar as my first proper spray gun . I'm a complete noob and have heard that a lvlp set up is best for what I need it for (bike frames) . Is there a version of this that is lvlp?
Just got the 1.3 tip flg5 and hardly even straight acetone will spray out of it.. doesn't work for me as it seems to work for you heh. Fluid full open, air full open..

Gunman question - new here what is the adaptor/ added for the gun and name of the kit to hold paint in plastic bag - it looks like that hold paint on the gun ? Thanks Mark- Dallas TX
I have the sata 5500x I 1.3 and it does in fact spray a bit heavy at the top of the fan. However I can adjust the pressure and fan to find the sweet spot where it sprays evenly, but obviously I shouldn't have to. I plan on getting the 1.4 o kit for it as it doesn't put much material down. But i don't like to spray slow i usually move fairly quick.. And also I bought mine new in box for just over 400 usd on ebay and have seen many sell for that, even the 1.3 o. And no its not a knock off. Regardless of the negativity of the sata name, the build quality of the 5500 is all around fantastic.
$200 paint guns are for primer. I’ve done paint with the Harbor Freight guns in the past but you’re fighting for a quality finish the whole time. This is a decent gun.
I don't spray cars ; ) 200 is a lot more than I spent on my guns though.
