Hi mate, at that pressure I would guess it's around 340lpm, so 12 cfm, but I use it for clear now at 1.5 bar and get superb results, at that it using around 10 cfm, so 280lpm

Hi Richard, That has happened to me recently, but it's best not to cancel the order. The seller wants you to, but don't, Aliexpress will give you your money back no problem, but the seller gets a black mark, which really harms them, of you cancel, it doesn't harm there ratings at all. Would you not have been better off ordering it directly from Porphis? They have a retail store and had a black Friday deal, which was really good. Well, at least you should be ok now, 👍

Hi Mate, Yes, indeed, just like the DV1 has

Hi buddy, thank you 👍

Hi buddy, there is so little between them. The LPH300 can run at a slightly lower pressure, so a little less overspray, both brilliant little guns

Hi buddy, 3 is difficult to do, as I would ideally like 3 panels the same to be comparable, I know which one would win, though 😉 😂

@@peteshobbies5383 which one ? dv1 ?

Hi buddy, There is a reason why manufacturers make so many different tip sizes, it's because when you turn a fan in, it doesn't perform as well, as when the fan is wide open, smaller tip equal smaller patterns, for the most part anyway. It's something I mention sometimes in my videos. A better quality gun will normally give you better results when the pattern is closed up, but it's still a compromise

Hi Richard, that's exactly what I do, leave it all together, run some thinners through it, I just let it run out, so no air but air is fine, then take it apart. It helps keep the cleaning thinners cleaner for longer in the cleaning container 👍

Yes, buddy, exactly the same 👍

@ Thanks buddy. And you compare dv1 with ANI 200 black ? I have dv1 base and clear

@hasmiksargsyan800 The ANI is as good as the DV1, it's not made as well, but it is much cheaper

Hi Mate, There are plenty of guns that will run off your compressor. The DV1s use of air does depend on what cap you use, I actually have two compressors like your's linked up, so, if needed they run together but you should still have enough for many good spray guns, just stay away from true HVLP. What sort of budget are you thinking? I guess if you are thinking of a genuine DV1, then the budget is good ?

Yes ive got a decent budget i was after something that i could base and clear with. Ive just looked up the specs for the DV1 it says using the DV1-B-PLUS air cap is 10.5 SCFM and the C2 plus is 11.3CFM would that be a good combo for my compressor? man its hard picking a spraygun.

@TheMasterKelly To be honest with you, I wouldn't buy a DV1, If you want a good all round gun, look at the Meiji Finer Core, Iwata Kiwami4 WB or W400 WB or the Porphis PRD717, all within budget and capable of great finishes with both clear and base coats

@@peteshobbies5383 Awesome Pete thanks for the recommendations

@TheMasterKelly You're welcome, buddy, I have both DV1 guns, base, and clear, and there are better guns for that sort of money and often cheaper as well, cheers 👍

You're welcome Richard, good to know it's been some help 👍

Hi buddy, thank you, I always used to use 600, and I know many use 800, but I experimented with the different grits, and 400 is as good but definitely better for adhesion, It's also what I use on headlights now. Again, the finish is just as good, cheers mate 👍

Cheers Grant, Thanks mate 👍

Hi buddy, yes, they are. You can use the LS400 for clear. It is quite slow but still good 👍

Hi John, Yeah, I do try to put things up against each other that are relevant in some way. I do get asked to do some rather odd comparisons, which just wouldn't be relevant to most people's thinking. I can only think that's the case. People read the specs and assume they are correct and won't notice the difference between 4 cfm and 8 cfm on a system supplying 40 cfm of free air, although, if you are passing this information on, then you should make an attempt to quantify it first. Cheers, mate, BTW, that General Motors Orange you used is a dead ringer for the custom Orange I order in, so I'm very happy 😊, cheers mate 👍

It's a shame they don't take more time to actually check the CFM of the gun when they review it but on the other hand you don't really expect the manufactures figures to be wrong but this seems to happen more and more these days🤷‍♂ I'm pleased that the GM Orange is what you are looking for as it must be cheaper to mix your own rather than buy it in ready mixed, finding colours for you that I didn't know you were looking for is all part of my service👌😎😂cheers Pete👍

@JohnWD40TC02 Yeah, I thought it looked similar, so I made some up, sprayed it on some spray out cards and also painted some with a brush. Sounds odd, but the brush strokes show up different light effects, I find it a good addition to seeing if something is the same, and it's exactly the same. This custom colour has been out at least 7 years and the GM for only 2020, so I'm not sure who copied who 🤣😂, cheers mate 👍

Hi mate, if I had to choose one, I would go with the Sagola, it's no better than the Walcom, but it is as good and is better made, they are also sometimes cheaper, but that depends where you live,

Gracias por contestar amigo quería comprar una de las dos pistolas y tenia duda .. creo que es lo que me dices esta mejor construida la sagola o eso me parece y el precio me cuestan lo mismo las dos gracias por contestar

Yes, exactly, they are as good as each other, but the Sagola is better made and will last longer

Hi Andrew, Yeah, I think they are worth the bit extra over the R500, and because the Saigaole works better at a lower pressure, it uses less air than the R500 which is of concern to many, cheers buddy 👍

Hi Buddy, Yes, it's made in Japan, that is probably why it's better made than the British ones 😂, cheers ✌️

Hi mate, Yeah, it is on my list of videos to do 👍

Best gun

Hi Mate, I hope alls well over there and you're enjoying the summer. Give me an idea of the compressor size and output, and I'll give you a few ideas 👍

If i started from scratch now...what compressor and best gun...LPH 80?

@mreightytwenty8709 The Devilbiss DV1S, pricey but very good, or the LPH80, smaller pattern but very good, and uses very little air

@mreightytwenty8709 The LPH80 with E4s cap is only 2.2 cfm, so virtually any compressor will run it

Hi Richard, Yes, this was my experimental stage with getting the then new PRD717 , they are very different and both an absolute joy to use, they have really changed the way I feel about Chinese guns, These go to prove, the Chinese can make good guns in terms of performance and build quality. I didn't know about longevity at the time buy that has been well and truly proved now in my 2 years of ownership, not a single problem, as you would expect, thanks mate, it is much appreciated 👍

Hi Richard, It did make me laugh when I did the unboxing of Saigaole, It's supposed to be German technology with a Spanish inspired name, in a Japanese body 🤣😂 , cheers mate 👍

@@peteshobbies5383 Haha, indeed!

Hi Boss, Yeah, I think we are in agreement on these. They do offer a reasonable gun at a cheap price, but it is just that. I think maybe MVMP would be more appropriate for some of these, I've had many people since I got my R500 saying to me they bought one thinking it was that special thing, the one that cost little, works well and uses little air, they are of course disappointed, hopefully people are getting the idea now of the limitations of these guns, cheers mate 👍

Hi Buddy, Yes, agreed completely. They do need more pressure than say an Iwata W400 to perform ok. By upping the pressure, we are upping the air consumption, so the selling point of low air consumption is completely negated. Some don't seem to let people know this, which is a shame. Thanks mate 👍

Hi Dominic, it's your fault then 🤣😂😅, they sold quite a few after that, cheers, mate 👍

Hi mate, that should work

That's what I was hoping it was as Iwata have stopped production of the Kiwami4 at the moment. It is not as good, but then it is cheaper, cheers, mate 👍

Hi Andy, I'm working on it now mate, it's a top 12 and should be out at Christmas 😁

Hi Buddy, Yes, it's a very good point, I also made sure the gloves were new, as oils in the skin can conduct and cause problems with circuit boards. When I was on the maintenance team looking after our equipment, we used to use antistatic mats with gloves and earthing straps around our wrists when changing electronic components, obviously that's not practical for most busy guys in a paint shop but clean gloves certainly are. Cheers mate 👏 👌

Hi Richard, I don't use Rustoleum paint . Is it a base coat? , so drys to a matte finish? , ready for clear coat?, I know they make many different types. If the weather is cool, it's often best just to give it more time to dry than put an accelerator in it, or some heat from a hot air gun, depending on the area you are doing as to how practical that is. It sounds like the material may be too thick or you are moving too fast. Have you done a viscosity check? The TDS should give you an idea of the viscosity to aim for and the tip size as a guide

@@peteshobbies5383 Thank you Pete, very much appreciated. I will check the viscosity, if there is any info on the gallon can. Thanks again!

@richardbartlett4075 Any manufacturer should be able to provide you with a technical data sheet, so if the information isn't on the tin, ask them for one. You will have a better idea of where you are once you see what's recommended 👍

@@peteshobbies5383 Well Pete, Rust-oleum is a DTM ALKYD Enamel. I use it to paint (rattle can) motorcycle frames and parts. It is a great rust preventative and also used for farm equipment. Many colors but I use gloss black. It is a oil based paint and I do use it as a base coat. I can't find any viscosity info, but from online info, the mix is 5-2-1/3. It is a very slow drying paint and will not spray unless thinned. Hell, it's a slow dryer in the summer. I may have to use a different paint, time will tell. What kind of paint do you use for base coat? Thanks for your help Pete, as you can tell, I did a bunch. LOL

@richardbartlett4075 Hi Richard, I have a few different makes of base coat. The one I use most is a Kapci solvent base coat, I have a Kapci System, so I can mix my own colors up to a paint code. It sounds like what you are using is designed as a final finish coat, so it is not intended to be clear coated afterward, so it drys to a gloss finish. Is that correct?

Cheers, Luke, much appreciated, buddy 👍

Hi John, Yes, very easy. There's nothing on here about it, so although a very limited audience, I thought it was worth doing if only to show the battery type 😁 I have no idea what Devilbiss is up to. The cynic in me is thinking it is just a good way of charging 140 GBP for a one pound battery . The no cynic in me thinks it is just a way to charge 140GBP for a one pound battery 🤣😅 Mine hasn't needed changing yet but it should be possible to do it at home, we used to do the same with NiCad battery packs that were soldered, a 125w soldering iron did the job most of the time, we will see, cheers mate 👍

I think the no cynic and the cynic in you is spot on it's a total rip-off unless they do actually change the battery and only charge for said battery plus postage🤔probably wishful thinking on my part, I have a few soldering irons and a nice soldering station so I don't have an excuse not to try and do it myself other than the fact that I'm older and the old eyesight isn't what it was so when I've done with it it will probably be totally FUBAR🤠😂I hope it doesn't happen for a good long while🤞🤞👍

@JohnWD40TC02 I think they charge around the price I quoted, mate, for the full service. Hopefully, someone with experience will let us know, but I am sure it isn't cheap. Cheers, mate

Hi Buddy, It's a really good little gun. It's certainly a mini gun but great for more precision with smaller parts . Thanks for letting us know, mate, as it helps others to get an idea of what to expect , cheers 👍

Thanks, buddy, much appreciated 👍

Hi Richard, Thanks, mate, it's much appreciated 👍 I genuinely enjoy making the videos. There's no better way of seeing what these guns are like compared to each other than using them in these comparisons. Any differences become so obvious doing it this way rather than going by memory from last time you used one, to be honest, I'm as interested as you as to what I find. Sometimes you use a gun independently, as you do normally, and get an impression of it compared to something else, thinking it's better, similar to the others or whatever, then that changes a little when used side by side, all part of determining what's better if at all that is, thanks again mate 👍

Cheers, mate, much appreciated 👌

Hi Tim, no, I've never had to strip the 717 down yet or any of the Porphis guns for that matter. I did strip a PRD515 down just to have a look, but nothing was wrong with it before or after I stripped it down. I presume you have stripped the air valve out? , I'm not sure how it seals, but it should be obvious once you are in there?

Thank you for your reply. All has been sorted with Porphis. With a new part being sent under warranty 🙏 really impressed by the aftercare its a pleasant surprise.

Hi Tim, I have had a couple who have had a problem in one way or another, and they have all said exactly the same thing, excellent customer services. I haven't had a problem with any of my Porphis guns, and I have a fair few now 🤭, if only the same could be said for Anest Iwata and Sagola, both of which I've had problems with and zero response. Anyway, hopefully you'll be sorted now, cheers 👍

Hi buddy, I'm really not sure what you mean, I presume you mean a photo of the reflection of a bottle or something with writing on it ? I'm not sure how that makes any difference, to be honest. The idea of moving shots to catch reflection in differing light so you can get an idea of the peel you can expect from the gun or products. To be honest, I would have thought a reflection of a bottle or whatever would actually flatter the work rather than be more critical of it It's certainly something I will try, as maybe I'm missing something, we will see, cheers, buddy 👍

@peteshobbies5383 you got the gist of it. I like to snap a picture of a static item like a bottle of soda or the buffing compound for each job, clear and gun so I have a database of which clear works with which gun and temperatures so I can reference that when a customer wants to know “how cheap they can go” I show them the pics. Instead of having to do a separate spray out card I can give them a good idea beforehand. If they want a spray out card for color and material we go from there. Just a thought, especially for all your back to back comparisons. Cheers 👍🏼

@92boostedh22 ok mate, I'll give it a try. Cheers 👍

Thanks, Paul, much appreciated 🙏

Hi buddy, Yes, I have seen some of the series 1 line up perfectly out of the box. It's probably why some have more trouble setting them up than others. Cheers, mate 👍

@ yes i just checked and i ran it not even 1/2 turn in on the fan on my last job with HS clear, was perfect!

Hi Richard, Thanks, mate, I think you will be very happy with your Porphis PRD717. They really are very, very good and an absolute bargain . Good also to hear you are still at it, being, like myself an older chap. I haven't been to watch the drag racing for some time now, with time and traffic being a major consideration. I know in the States you have many good venues, we, only really have Santa Pod, which is not too bad. I remember seeing Sammy Miller 3 or 4 times there, I was there in 1984 when he did a 3.58 1/4 run, it was astonishing to see, as you probably know, with Vanishing Point there was no real noise, a few clicks and hissing but that's it, then it just disappeared, totally amazing and really unbelievable to watch. Please let me know, and others know how you get on with the new gun and the bike. It's always interesting to hear. Thanks again, buddy 👍

@ Thank you my friend and Vanishing Point was such a great movie. I think I may have to watch it again. The older I get, past movies and reruns seem more interesting as I don’t remember it so well. Lol. My current drag bike is a 1976 Yamaha RD400 2-stroke and I did start the motor with an auxiliary gas tank. Everything is ready to go except the metal gas tank and fiberglass body kit, they need to be painted. So this is where you come in and your videos. I just wanted to try and paint it rather than sending it out, but by the time I finish, I will have paid out more than it would if I had it painted. That’s ok because I’m learning so much, that it way worth it. Thank you again and I really do appreciate you and your awesome videos!

@richardbartlett4075 I always think Richard, if I buy the tools to do it myself, it may cost more than sending it out, but I'll have the tools and experience to do it again, as many times as I like 😃 I had 2 RD400s when I was 18 for a few years, one was a RD400E and one was an F, the F I bought brand new, it was £949 GBP, so at the time, around $1600 USD. I have tried to find it but it seems it's no longer about. Obviously, I'm assuming yours is highly modified, I have thought about getting another, but a near mint original, excluding the standard exhausts that seem to be unavailable is around £13,000 GBP, so around $16,500 USD.

Hi Mate, These are only 15lt tanks so normally around 140 ml

Thanks,is this a specialized gun? What nozzle and pressure?

This is a very good quality mini gun, tip was 1.2

Hi mate, you went for the 627. It's a good choice and often overlooked,I like it as it's less bulky than some so is more manoeuvrable than some

Hi buddy, That sounds like a good idea. That way, you can interchange the two caps and tips, so plenty of versatility , cheers, mate 👍

Hi Mate, Thank you, hope you enjoy your Christmas as well, cheers 👍 🍻

Hi Angus, They really are very, very good and an absolute bargain. If I were Iwata, Sat's, Devilbiss, and the like, I would be worried 😀 , cheers mate, thank you

@@peteshobbies5383 I notice that on the website they now have a PPS adapter as an option, which is another big win. Your lobbying must have paid off. 🙂

@angusmackay7281 It makes it easier as people don't need to know the thread needed, it actually a M16 x 1.5, one good thing, is they now make and sell an adapter for the MPH338 Mini Gun, that was causing many problems as its an M11 x 1.5 thread, which is completely unique, cheers mate 👍

Thanks Grant, 👍

Hi John, Yes. Both these guns offer superb value and results up there or better than the best 👌 The PC415 was around 20% cheaper than the PRD715 , it has less thrills, so doesn't have the click fluid control and the like, but, as you say, it performs really well, so does the PRD625 for that matter. Cheers mate, good to hear you enjoyed the video 😁

Yeah as usual your videos are well thought out with a professional look and feel to them. I'm pleased I got my PC-415 when I did as I do wonder if it will be the same price when it comes back in stock🤔 You mentioned in the video that someone wasn't that impressed with the build quality of these guns, I really don't know how they can think that as IMO it's one of the best made guns available it's right up there (if not better) than the likes of Devilbiss, Iwata and Sata but at a fraction of the price, the only gun that might pip it to the post is some of the Meiji guns like the Finer Core which I will be using for basecoat and clear on my next tank😁👌cheers Pete👍

@JohnWD40TC02 I would agree totally with what you said regarding build quality, equally as good or better than Devilbiss, Sata and Iwata, cheers mate 👍
