SATAjet 5000 VS DeVilbiss Pro lite

The 2 big guns get put head to head here in this review & demo on the SATAjet 5000-B RP 1.3mm Digital VS Devilbiss Gti (Tekna) Pro lite 1.3mm TE20, it's not an easy comparison because both guns have strong points.
This is a 100% independent unbiased review, based on my opinion.
I will be demonstrating on a VZ Maloo Ute painted in Sting Red Paint code F143 using Cromax Basecoat and Standox HS Clear.

SATA 5000 with 1.3 tip is my favorite for clear!

Auto paint is a hobby for me, I don’t do it for a living, but I can honestly say you have some of the most impressive work I’ve seen. And you sold me on Devilbiss years ago. I have a GTI pro lite and love it! I use the 110 tip, as I’m pretty slow with my spraying. The 110 likes the slow cruising.

Great review! I just decided to to pop on the Tekna ProLite, same kit as mentioned, TE10 / TE20, 1.2, 1.3, 1.4 needles for $359 US so a great deal. I have a booth I can rent with good air supply and for the small projects I'm doing it will be the last spray gun I will ever need. Keeping my Eastwood Concours for primer and small quicky jobs on my home compressor. Thanks Gunny, best painting vids on the internet!

Dear Gunman,

I recently taken a intrest in panel beating, from watching online YouTube videos. I think your videos are really terrific. I love how informative and "real" you are about what your doing and your finishes. I'm a tradie in construction, so quite different to you . But i find the prep, fill sand and espocally the spraying really amazing. Your are an amazing tradesman, very passionate and dedicated. And it shows with the end results.

Keep up the amazing work.

I just painted the shit out of my vt ss roof tonight. Couple of little dust bits. But with all the vids ive wached of yours over the years and the amount of painting ive done a little dust dosn't even bother me these days . Thanks gunman for taking the time out to make these vids.it blows my mind how much i improve every time i paint.

Thanks I just ordered a Devilbiss yesterday. Will be spraying base coat clear coat.🇨🇦

[hunkydude]

Devilbiss pioneers in spray guns for sure, nice little history on Thomas Devilbiss, nice video, i learned to paint cars some 20 plus yrs ago, nice video again.

[danawick]

awesome video as usual apparently my FLG 5 is at customs just waiting for fed ex to bring it home. i bought this as you recommend this gun so im looking forward to trying it for the first time. The Flg5 will be a step up I think. i have started using a 2;1 hs clear that makes a difference in my work, heating it up in hot water and i put it in the car lol works fantastic . because of you and your channel ive become much better and more aware of what im doing. we all learn from you thanks man :)

[kradikt]

I have both guns and I love the way the sata flows the clear on big panels but I like the way the devilbiss put base down though...

I'm an industrial painter, been using my own gun, a TeknaPro for ever, but my company got us some satajet 5000 HVLP's, and I have to say, they are amazing. The one complaint me and my painters have is the air regulator - there is less than one eight'th of a turn from full blown to nothing at all.

[wanrun]

Thanks for the videos, I'm a newb, DIY guy to painting and your reviews helped me land with the Tekna Pro Lite. This vid just reaffirmed my choice.

[jasonmacgillivray]

You got it buddy the sata 5000 is a fantastic gun . I see ur running the 1.3 there pretty good but smash on the clear I use a 1.2 with uhs clear and it is really amazing . The 1.2 really cuts down the paint consumption and lays down the clear . The 5000 wsb (hvlp) is also a fantastic gun when used with water Bourne u can really save product .

[GabeDirtyDevil]

I've seen this video over and over because I've been looking into buying one of these two guns for a while and I haven't been able to choose from the two but lately my financial situation has changed so I might be going with the Devilbiss both great guns. love your videos I watch them every morning before I start work they motivate me to do better through out the day. great work and great reviews gunman. shout out from the TopShelf Paint and Body crew out here in Rosenberg, Texas USA

Sai my Brother, okay?

First I want to congratulate for the videos, I learned many things about paint guns and many curiosities, and what makes me happier is knowing that all pistols BINKS, SGK, BVK and FLG that were produced in Brazil and went to the Devilbiss England, United Kingdom and United States, and you as knowledgeable of these tools know what are of Brazil.

And all went through my humble little company, which made the surface finish, sanding and polishing the bodies of pistols, triggers and breeches.

I am Owner of ABM POLISHES LTDA-ME, who for 11 years has kept as main customer the Devilbiss equipment for Painting.

And the sad thing about all this is that after 68 years in Brazil, the Devilbiss ended its activities in Brazil, and since 01/2018 isn't going to produce any more, just the Devilbiss provider here.

I own both, both Spray awesome but I feel the Sata has a slight edge over the tekna prolite when it comes to clear, tekna for base Sata for clear, is what I feel is a good combination 🤙🏻

[craigcarter]

I have a te20 cap and a 1.2 nozzle, and it sprays way faster than that. I'm ordering the t110 cap now.

[dookieday]

I used the sata jet 90 back in 1994 spraying shutters topcoating only very good spray with they were very expensive even back then the needle and air cap set were a burn cost wise

[kutzbill]

I bought a 5000B HVLP and a 5000B RP for $1000.00 for both as a gift for a friend. He said it was a good deal. The RP had been used 2 times, and the HVLP was new in the box. The guy I bought it from said he needed one that used 19 PSI and these were 26 PSI. I hope he likes them. He does high end restorations.

Over torquing the head behind the nozzle on the devillbus is a issue that kills the white gasket . Also warps the head two finger torque wrench works well

[danielgreen]

when using a sata they make you buy the entire nozzle set as a kit rather than just one air cap or needle. That's why it's $350. Their's comes with a needle, air cap, and fluid tip. They are machined to fit perfectly but I do agree the price tag is a bit ridiculous and I wish you could replace individual parts cuz shit happens. Nice work !
