Thank you! It’s definitely a great gun. I will be using it some more soon. Yeah the hood repair was pretty big. Thanks for watching!

Thank you! Axalta spies hecker and Cromax were made to do in 1 1/2 coat like that. I wouldn’t do it with any other system. But it takes production to the next level. Booth cycles are so much faster with this system. It’s great paint too.

Check your seals. Something could be broke. DV1 is a great gun. But yes, I agree 5500 is much sturdier. Which is why it is more expensive.

Thank you!

Thank you! I really appreciate that! Personally I like the 5500 for basecoat. Will definitely use the dv1 again and would occasionally use it if I owned it for myself. But I love the way my 5500 lays basecoat. Great on material nice fan pattern everything. Sata makes great guns

@@everyday_painter I use Devilbiss prolite T 110 for solvent base and the old Sata 3000 rp 1.3 for clear... I love Sata guns and looking for buy the 5500 1.3 I... Keep uploading videos man... You are Top!

We use the 480 series at my work too and I love it .The only thing is we need better airflow in the booth to help flash that water out and lately I’ve been having “splashing” issues.They look like pinholes that only show up after clearing .Usually clear buries them and our paint rep can’t seem to give us an explanation why it happens?

@vasilis karadimos devilbiss pro lite is a great gun. I haven’t used mine in forever but I have got plenty of use out of it over the years. Mine has the TE20 cap. Try the 5500 if you can get your hands on one. I think you will love it. Thank you for the support. I really appreciate it!

@eviljoker303 we just moved shops a few months ago and don’t have heat hooked up yet. I have been struggling with my waterbase drying. Been getting cold here the last month. I’ve been using a hair dryer on some jobs to try to hurry the process. Activating all solid jobs as well. It’s a struggle for now. Especially in the mornings. As for splashing I as well have an issue from time to time. For me it’s only on solid whites though. Like you said, can’t see it until clear. My rep said try going lighter and do 2 coats letting the first one flash off before applying the second. That works sometimes for me.

Thank you!

It is long. It’s a bit over 30 foot. I love it. It’s nice being able to paint a car in pieces in one booth load. We have another booth that is regular length as well.

I mixed 30 ounces for this job. Definitely close at the end there. Haha. I feel like data’s are about 1 size bigger than other guns. I run a 1.2 nozzle in my base gun and a 1.3 in my clear. I like a little bigger for clear. Pound it on 👍🏻

@@everyday_painter 30 ounces seems about right for that size job .

My helper has the walcom clear. It’s a nice gun. I want to get the walcom base gun. I haven’t been able to try the sagola but I hear great things. I definitely want to try it soon.

@second-guess always we try to do 2 oz per hour. I agree on a lot of jobs it’s impossible. This job I actually hit under 2 per hour. This job had 18 paint hours on it. Used 30 ounces. 👍🏻

Interesting. Now that I think of it everyone I know that has that gun sprays ppg. Haha. I’ll have to keep that in mind. Thanks.

Some pearls are definitely a bit too white when sprayed. One thing I like it do is take a picture of the car as a solid color. I usually sand the panel a first then take a picture of the sanded area as a solid. But can be done without. Then use that picture as your ground coat. For the mid coat find a chip with matching pearl and use that mid coat over your ground. Usually works pretty well. I will do a video of this soon. Thanks for watching!

@@everyday_painter thanks for the reply I figured out a really good solution On Most of my pearls I start off with -20%of 321 on ur base coat and minus half of 386 on ur pearl coat Been hitting em almost dead on man Try that and let me know what you think It has been working extremely well for me so far on 6/6 pearls I have done this past 1.5 week

I’ll give it a shot! Thanks!

I sprayed this job at 22psi. 14 is pretty low. This gun doesn’t need a lot of pressure but I would bump it up some if I were you. Try 20 and see how you like it. I haven’t sprayed this gun much so I don’t really have a sweet spot with it. With my Sata I spray base at 25 always. Every gun is different. Also everyone is different. If your having trouble with coverage also try to tighten your overlap maybe. Or even slow down a bit. That may help.

@@everyday_painter yea 14 is low. I’m gonna try 20 psi. Tomorrow. I have also been using the 1.3 in the dv1. Most of the time I don’t have any issues. But I’ve notice recently that 14-15 psi is just to low

@@everyday_painter also I heard you say it was your helper gun. If you don’t mind me asking how many hours are you guys flagging a week? I have a young helper and I’m trying to get a good Idea of what’s a good week hours wise for myself and a helper

It’s been pretty up and down since covid started to be honest. But we have been pretty busy lately. Last week we did 160 paint hours.

@@everyday_painter yea I hear you. We did 135 last week. This week should crack 150 because we already have 90 hours in the paint shop already lol. You pay your guy a percentage? Or you pay him by the hour?

I knew someone would eventually say something like this. Nobody says it the same. But as much as I’ve spent on their guns. Oh well 🤣🤣

Absolutely.

@@everyday_painter Thanks for answer. Some painters comments b+ better than b aircap for clear coat. İ dont know
