Вставка

- Whilst I don't appreciate the theft of IP (Intellectual Property) that these Chinese companies have been doing for years, I have finally decided to do a proper unbiased review on these copy DeVILBISS spray guns.

![GTI PRO LITE SAMER CAPABILITY [Review]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/oA1cWNW8zNk/mqdefault.jpg)
To quote my wife's father, if it's high quality I don't care how cheap it is!
👍 Boss man!
Snobs can buy original, too expensive for occasional paint job
Haha yes! I was the one who asked about the fake devilbiss guns on Instagram, thank you for making the video
Hope you enjoyed it. Did it make you decide to buy or not?
@@TheGunmanChannelnope, I already have a genuine pro lite, gti millennium and flg5, I’ve just always been curious how they sprayed, especially to someone who’s so familiar with devilbiss guns
Hahahaaaaaa if you watch gunny you know it’s crazy that he made this video. I appreciate the hell out of your review
I just want to point out at 6:00 that you adjusted the fan and air on the fly. And you aren't running a regulator at the gun. That was impressive, not sure if anyone else caught that, but I saw that power move 👍🏾
Hi Gunny I have two of these copy sri guns. I use them for spraying rust treatments like por15. Keep my sri pro lite and ani r160's for actual paint jobs.
Thanks for making the video Gunny even though you had moral hesitations. I got an Ntool fake GTI and its great for $65. Would love to see a under $75 clone gun shootout from a pro painter. The people disrespecting them have never used one.
Hi, Dan here from Trinidad West Indies. Been watching since last year, thanks for your honest and real videos bro. No sugarcoating ....will always be a fan.
At the end of the day it comes down to the user, regardless of the type of spraygun. You just proved that you can achieved great results even with a knock-off spraygun!😄👍 Great review at an affordable price. Can only imagine what type of spray guns were used back in the days without modern technology and still made it look damn good. So good the paint still remains on the classic cars. Thanks for another great review.
I always find it hard to swallow paying so much for a quality gun when a cheap gun that costs 1/10th as much will do a good enough job that you really can't tell which gun was used. I mean, don't get me wrong here. I will (and have) paid it. But what happens when some manufacturer produces a gun of equal quality and charges 1/4 the price of a high-end gun? Has that possibly already happened? And yes, I'm also taking into account things like warranty and replacement parts. If anything, parts for high-end guns are also needlessly expensive. When you look at it, these guns aren't really all that intricate. Some good materials and attention to detail during the machining and finishing process is all that sets it apart. Yes, that's worth some extra cost, but not to the extent they're charging.
any gun sprays good from the box, see how it does a couple of months down the line ;-)
You can go back and forth all day about expensive paint guns and cheap ones but it all comes down to prep work and the user, if your a damn good painter you can make any spray gun work and look professionally.
I appreciate your honesty, some videos that are called reviews are just trying to prove to you that their fanboy "make" is the best, and the only one you should buy. I can understand your trepidation at "fakes", but you still are willing to give credit when it is deserved.
I picked a Masterpro 44, and yes its not up to par with a genuine Gti Pro Lite but so far I'm pleased with it. Perfect for a weekend warrior.
A good honest review Gunny, I personally wouldn't buy these fake guns but there are some people that just can't afford the originals so they have their place and from what I've seen they are pretty good guns. John UK.
Boa tarde, eu tenho originais essas pistolas, comprei uma réplica meses atrás, maravilhosa uma leque d impressionar, não compraria uma devilbiss sri nunca hoje, tratando se d Marketing
@@maurovieirafilho979qual você comprou ?
Looks like it would be a good hobbyists gun? Then again.. I'd recommend getting a easy to use gun like a Prolight even if you only do it for a hobby, a good gun will be worth every penny. There's an Iwata knock off ( in the states at least ) called Pro-tek that actually sprays well, but as with cheap guns they don't last more than a year or 2.
The fake yellow GTI pro lite actually sprays good. I eventually replaced it with an authentic GTI pro lite but it was good. It has the "t110" cap but the holes are the te20 ones lmao.
The caps are all the same , just labelled with different model number
i was random browsing spray guns on ebay etc the other week, and came across one that made me giggle..
It was called Segolio.... :P
I wonder what brand they attempting to copy?!?! lol
prolite copies 1.3 110 cap work really nice, three holes in the air cap. I was painting trucks a while back and wasn't going to bring in my Sata to spray used junk trucks, most of the time they were white. Paint jobs with the prolite are as good as yours(other people's opinion) too bad I can't post a pic
Nice vid again as always,love to see you do these revieuws and now on a ripoff gun wich we all wondered how they would exualy spray!keep up the good work man🤙
I've got one of these dedicated for my ak350 fade out thinner gun. Works well over the wet on wets and small direct gloss fades. Way better and more controllable than the aerosols
I'm not a pro by any stretch, but I'll stick to the name brands just on general principle.
Thanks for the video Gunny!
Didn't have good results with the GTI pro Samer gun. Trying to save $$$ cost me $$$. I use throwaways for primer/sealer/polyester. Iwatta for all else now.
Sticking with the same guns, you get to know them very well. I'm done experimenting, finally content with my paint guns and the results i get at home. (Where i am always working on something)
I heard that the Chinese copy was made after the patent expired on that model of gun. If that is true then the Chinese make a copy as close as they can for a discounted price.
It looks like the patents were in 1989-1990 so the patents probably have expired after 30 years. Patents usually are 20 years with a possible 5 year extension.
Spray guns have been around for over a hundred years. I doubt each model would have it's own patent
@@TheGunmanChannel I looked up the Devillbis patents and they are actually for specific parts of the guns design, not the models, but all seem to be from 1989 -90.
@@awalk5177 Ok so no current patents then
Pintei uma PIAGGIO VESPA a 25 anos atras de PRATA com uma velha devibilis com o bico errado e tudo e consegui um acabamento de espelho na pintura final e sem manchas 😂😂😂😂😂 imagina hoje com as FAKE GUNS 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I bought a similar gun branded devilibs it sprayed good for a month then the seals blew out total piece of crap compared to my ani r150 or my star mini gun. Be ok for someone wanting to spray a set of mags at home or small jobs but better off with a good brand in my opinion
Gunny kinda like my old iwata 770 yes I’m old and the Star copy I used for primer
i watch another channel & they do plastic dip which is the peelable paint i think? but wow they play with different colour effects, pearls, colour shifts.
have you ever listened to music thats been copied before or every watched movies that are counterfiet ?
@The Gunman please could you do a full review of the P1 Coating system ? Primer, base, hyper gloss. Also if you can use your own base/clearcoat with the system etc Cheers thanks
Isn't it wierd how the envirobase is like green/blue when it's wet no matter what color paint you mixed? Red paint and it looks green until it dries... so weird
How is the gun holding?
Hi Gunny! Would you be reviewing the new DV1s?
I'm currently trialling the best air caps and fluid tip combination. I'll be working on the review this weekend, hope to have it up soon.
I'm sure there's a lot of people who is also waiting for your review on that gun. I also wanna know your opinion about which one you think is better for spraying clear, the sri or the dv1s.. thanks mate!
One thing about fakes is they just don't holdup or perform long imho, but compared to China freight 37 quid ok
At least you have that, we can't even buy this, maybe this dream of buying a gun will remain a dream. 😔
Hey gunny , things I learned from buying these fakes is, they usually are meant to only look like that actual gun it’s coping but exact specs are usually different , I bought a fake gti pro and the needle and cap where different than an original , not to mention the machining was not up to par. Further more these copy companies don’t stand behind thier product you basically get what you get rather good or bad. I’ve purchased fake Sata 5k and the spray pattern was tiny in comparison to the original Sata 5k rp, no where near the volume of paint the original could produce. Over all it’s basically free marketing for them, they know it will sell based on the sheer look of an original , the originals credibility in the trade , and reputation. I stopped purchasing the fakes because over all it injures the original manufacturers reputation. I’m still curious as to how copy cat guns still flood the market with out any legal responsibility.
All the pieces of the guns are cast in China and depending on the quantity ordered foundries will sub-contract either all or a portion of the order out to another foundry...thats most likely where the knock-offs would be made. The original order get shipped to wherever the headquarters is located
I.e. City of industry, California, where they'd go through a quality control process, (parts that dont make it past here are sent back) those that do pass but might have small imperfections from the casting process are corrected before they go back through Q.C. then they get assembled into a final product.
Its BECAUSE a compamy does the Q.C., the casting correction + the assembly within the USA that they can legally claim its made in America.
When its just the assembly of it in USA, well then thats what it says, Assembled in the USA
@@nutzdeez5748 All in your imagination.
Thank you for the review
I just got a devilbiss CV1... Paid like $80? Bucks for it. I really like it but all I just it for is spraying dyes. Leather seats, carpets etc.
What product do you use on the seats please?
@@planespeaking to re-dye them?
@@carbonconnection2480 Yes.
@@planespeaking. I buy from a company that sells to 90% of the auto industry. I sell it however you want
I remember how pissed off you was when someone stole your logo!
Me too. But I got a message from someone 2 days ago telling me how someone else stole my logo and I told them I don't even care anymore. People change, I have. And I made it pretty clear in this video I don't condone these guns it's just that some people wanted to see them reviewed.
@@TheGunmanChannel and it was another good video too. Fake/copy products will always be a touchy subject. I hope you don’t think I was having a dig? It’s all fun and games brother
How would this gun compare to the harbor freight black widow? Been wondering that if a knock off would be better than a harbor freight one lol
You need the 6 layers to peel it easy, with 2 layers it will not peel good
Agreed, but why should we pay $1000 - $1500 for a gun when the R&D for them is ten years old and the price just keeps going up yet the gun has changed stuff all.
Would you pay $50,000 for a 1980s car with some wifi sound and an air bag.
Price on items should remain the same or reduce over the years if no new R&D goes into them
You don't have to pay anywhere near that much for genuine guns. Don't get me wrong, you can, but you don't have to.
You can only go one way or the other man. You’re either 100% against knock offs or you’re not against knock offs at all.
I just did a video request and reviewed it on its own merits.
Or....You could just accept that they exist!
Still a cool vid....keep the boss happy....a good boss is hard to find
Stick to your guns, Gunman. We need to stop rewarding IP theft.
Sales for the copy cats just went up…
@@PnwOnTour Yes and no. I was nearly swayed into grabbiing one but then I thought, hmmmmm.... Do I want my gun doing the same thing in 10 years, do I want to be able to buy a seal kit so I can still use it in 20 years??? F&^%k the cheap sh!t, it's fake econony! As a tradie I've always said "right tool for a right job" ;)
The biggest problem with so called fakes is when they are marked and sold as the original product. Whoever knowingly buys a fake was never going to pay the price of the original anyway. I worked for a Japanese company who’s products were copied, they actually looked upon it as good marketing for the original as it’s flattering that their products are so good that everyone wants to copy them.
To be honest, when you buy a Chinese gun, make sure they don't have plastic or rubber seals behind the air cap, there are a lot of good guns that are cheap and spray better than the devilbliss spray guns, there's Avalon, atom, just to mention, I mean I bet half the parts of a devilbliss spray gun are made in china, coz everything nearly comes from china, a good painter, can make any gun work, I painted for over 28 years and seen a lot of guns, ime sorry if this offends anyone, but there are a lot of guns that are overrated, and some prices are ridiculous, for a good gun that's not right up there like data, ide go a ANI, Avalon, atom, sagola,nordsmen, walcom, just take your pick, hope this helps, and please please gunny, can you not mentioned devilbliss, and spray guns direct in almost all your episodes, regards John
peelable paint? are you talking about plasti dip?
I don't think so. It's more like that
ua-cam.com/video/jf1iOOin8Ww/v-deo.html
sry, it is german
Link? Would work well for a beater
At how many bars (psi) it works perfectly?
I don't know man, that fan looks hideous lmfao
The parts backup for a copy gun will be non existent.
You will be throwing that gun away in time, as only a small part that goes missing or needs changing will not be available and now you are stuck with a shining write off.
Chinese knock offs are just that, stolen knock offs. No parts, no support, go and buy another one. That is what they want you to do. Just go and buy another one.
In the long run, it will bite you on the backside. Years to come, you will need something like a small part, and you will not be able to get it. Your body shop will not have it. Chinese company by then moved on and stealing and copying something else.
Do not entertain the idea of a chinese copy. Down the road, it will bite you on the backside.
Great video as always. Wish I would've seen this before I had purchased an ANI mini/mid. But I'm most definitely looking forward to using the 160. Question. What size tip n nozzle you like to use when you spray your wet on wet?
The ANi is heaps better, this is cheap crap and they stole the design.
Hey @gunman in our paint shop we have been using Iwata lph400 1.3 and 1.4 with lvx caps. We are now shooting a higher solids solvent Spies Hecker 293/295 base coat. I have seen by watching your channel you use non HVLP mostly and get great results . Any suggestions on a non HVLP compliant gun? Thanks
Try the ATOM X88 blue moon lvlp gun they're a great gun for the price. About 400 I think.
Why not get a gti prolite for under $400?
I have two fake Devilbiss. One of them is the same as this, except it doesn't have that silly name written on it. The other is "Gti pro lite" 1.3. The small SRi is fine gun, it atomizes ridiculously good , I use it for clear. And the fake gti pro lite is the complete opposite, - total garbage. It doesnt atomize shit, and spits big random sized droplets. I will replace it with genuine FLG5.
So, wich do you recommend to buy for home use, the gti pro lite 1.3 ?
@@Danidasanic If you can spend a bit more, I would recommend to get the FLG5. If not, that little SRi copy is fine. I used it and usually made good results. But it has two problems. It doesn't like more viscous material, like some of clear coats can be. Another problem is that if you try to paint something bigger with it like a whole car, it would get annoying really fast with its small cup.
That SRi was perfect for wheels.
@@rimka11 you are talking about the original, right?
@@Danidasanic FLG5 original, I don't think there are copies of it. It is priced at something like 150 euros. And the other two I was talking about are copies. I never had original SRi or Gti pro lite. Too expensive for me.
@@rimka11 wich nozzle are you using on the flg5 ?

What are you using in your washer??? I want to buy one for my shop to clean my house paining guns and my Kremlin.
Question will a Hush ChIcago 70 litre Air Compressor
be enough for me to spray car parts also sanding etc daily use.Gummen help me out here as these compressor are very quiet which is better for me or should I get the 100 litre one is 799 70 litre the other 1300 bucks.cheers
Read the specs, see if it makes 135% CFM that the gun paperwork calls for. No mystery
Il risultato è migliore di quelle di 600€..
Hmmmmm
I need to do a small rusty part how do you blend in again? how are the chemicals called you use or i have to find?

@Müller I like to use Cromax AK-350 blending thinner. But a bit of standard reducer mixed with the clear works well.

Very well said !
Plus who cares if one cant find replacement parts ... its $30something dollars.... by 7 more
At the end of the day if it atomization is there ... its there
@@OldSoulMindSet Cheap enough to do a couple of jobs then bin it 😂
Pff biggest fan uv seen for a cheap gun. Normally they lack in that department. 😆 must be kool tho mate people notice your gunny. Small time celebrity in the painting world 👊
🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Hey Gunny what causes the paint to build up on one side of the air cap?
It's just what happens. If it's an uneven build then that usually means the gun isn't quite spraying properly.
Could just be a bit of old paint or crap, clean the cap spotless 👍
@@johnmorgan5414 It was a brand new FLG5 from spraygunsdirect I cleaned it with new gun wash, used it and it was building up paint on one side, so I cleaned it again spun the cap to the other side and still the same thing. I think the cap must be defective.
Not funny.
