    Great to see you still giving honest reviews.

    I have quite a lot of different SATA’s, & I’ve never had any problems with them personally. I like the way they work for me, but I also think the Iwata’s whole range are also very well made with great performance & a lot cheaper, which makes them my go-to gun more often than not. A good painter can get great results with just about anything if they know how to adapt to the guns characteristics.

    One thing I’ve learnt and this has been impressed upon me in my travels. “The customer is always right”. Instead of being bombastic and thinking you’re an idiot and being disingenuous, get involved and at least try and sort the issue out. Especially when you have irrefutable proof of a defective product as you do. The proof is always in the pudding. IMHO.
    Great work Gunman. You teaching me plenty and I’m 56 years old. Happy days.👍👍👍👋👋😎😎

    Happy New Year Gunny, and to all your followers. You should never have to feel embarrassed or apologise for doing an honest and independent review, especially when the product is set at this price point. I bought a 3300 minigun a few years ago, and while I think it's generally very well built, I hate the position of the fan control which is far too easy to move accidentally when you're spraying. I also found that while it was not being used for a couple of months the body of the gun started to corrode where the RPS pot locates, which left some white deposits in the first job I used it for after it came back out. Also, the packing gland needed replacing after just two years of light use. Some of these niggles are more serious than others and I still find the Sata a good all round gun. But, the ANI R150 is a cracking little gun at a fraction of the price, and the Devilbiss SRI Pro's are better balanced, have the controls where they should be, and with the Transtech cap spray better. While you have the integrity to give an honest "no holds barred" review, people will respect you for it- that's why SPG support you and send the products for you to try!

    I've sprayed with sata's for 15 years, pressure and gravity and have had great results with them. I purchased a 5500 x 1.3 I rp love the way it sprays no problems with mine sorry to here you had problems with yours. In my opinion sata's are great guns but you know what they say about opinions. That's why they make so many brands there's one for everyone.

Sata NR92-up too these latest 5000’s have set the standard in the states as the go to gun for production painters.... I’m truly shocked at how bad your reviewing this.... if you were an apprentice when the 4000’s came out you don’t have a whole hell
      Of a lot of years under your belt. But hey your doing amazing. Watch the channel respect the vids just stunned at the negative reviews of Sata

  • @Mr1fingersalute
    @Mr1fingersalute Месяц назад +1

    Love my 4000 1.4 rp, fan and fluid wide open triggered to the “sweet spot” …. It is a cannon but that’s just how I’ve always done it with every gun, no time to mess around with adjustments lol. If it’s not digital it rarely will have a gauge on it either, I hate the clunkiness of them🤷🏻‍♂️
    I spent 27 years in the booth like that as a production painter. Those guns are beauties but the prices are becoming more ridiculous than ever. I was buying jet 90’s for a little over $200 and 2000 hvlp’s and rp’s for about $300. It’s crazy anymore.
    I do love me some Sata’s but there are a lot of really good guns out there these days, they’re catching up with their crazy pricing too. Devilbiss used to be the best bang for your buck but not so much anymore.
    Never liked any of the Iwata’s.
    Great video though, I appreciate the honesty

    Iwata and Devilbis are same price with their Flagship models or higher now in Europe. My Sata X5500 HVLP / and RP are working very well and with the choice of the I or the O you can prepare them for any work and speed you want. I do restoration with flat finishes using the I Nozzles and sometimes doing ligth Trucks and Repairs were you need more fluid, work faster and use low cost Clears etc. Had no issues at all with the satas. For Pressure adjustment, take the gun in your left hand, push the trigger with your left thumb and adjust with the right hand, it works very well that way. Cheers

    Great work and information. I believe we need a follow up with new (defect free Sata's) and DV1 side by side as you did in the end. Please, do it exactly as you did and then turn caps on both for the purity of the test. Loved my old SATA NR2000 but switched to DeVilbiss purely out of price. SATA rebuild kit +$100 bought me a brand new DeVilbiss GTI+. Sorry SATA, we paint cars, not print money😥

    SATA rep was at our shop the other day because I wanted to demo different nozzle combinations of the 5500. Not one of them had a faulty pattern. And the difference between the 4000 as well the 5000 to these is huge. I ended up ordering an HVLP in 1.3i for Chromax Pro water. And an RP in 1.3o for high solids LE clear.

    Hey man, not sure if you ever figured out the air cap issue but the air caps I don’t think we’re actually defective, when you had your cap pushed in it’s because the part with the air horns is actually designed to snap out to clean it better. Must’ve just gotten pushed in but it wasn’t actually broken

  • @stevene2007

    If you have a problem with the fan it is likely the "fluid inlet seal", part number 140582. It is a know issue, my guess is when the manufacture test out the spray gun, it is then disassembled to get cleaned. When it is put back together the seal might be getting damaged. Kind of like a valve cover gasket. Can it be put back together after torqueing it down? Yes, but the seal will likely fail sometime later, or leak right away. That is a bad practice so changing out the seal after each disassembly to me is the correct procedure. If I think about it in that way more than likely the problem is the seal, change the seal every time. They sell a pack of 5 for a reason.

    part #211508

    • @TheGunmanChannel
      @TheGunmanChannel  3 года назад

      I set mine to 60psi, sometimes we need the extra pressure to blow panels off, and it's on the outside of the booth at this workshop so it's a bit of a pain to adjust for each job. Some guns need more air volume to get up to 29psi too, I also have an air hood to run so I find 60 at the wall is ideal.

All you need to do is read the comments here to see I'm far from the only one to have this issue with these guns.

    i've always been a Sata guy personally until the jet5000 hvlp came out. i swear all of the hvlp 5000 guns must be defective because everyone i know who has had one thinks and everyone i've tried has been the worst sata i've ever used. the one i purchased when it came out got returned and exchanged for another 4000 hvlp. the 5000 RP is a great gun but they definitely dropped the ball on the hvlp version.
    edit: it also doesn't surprise me that sata tried to deny any wrong with the gun, i've seen a sata rep tell a fellow painter with a defective 5000 hvlp that nothing was wrong with it and that's how it's supposed to be. sata does not like to admit problems with their products.

    Everywhere in this world there are companies that sell premium brands. They are no better and in some cases probably worse than other brands but because they are more expensive people will buy them assuming they are the best. Whether that be anything from spray guns, mobile phones, headphones, cars or whatever. As before how can the pot alone on a sata be twice the price of a devilbiss what can possibly make the difference do they put platinum fittings or something.

    I HAVE the x5500 hvlp digital 1.4 tip two down fall on this gun is the price $ 950.00 us an the swivel inlet air leaks out when turn at angles but guage or the fan adjustment no problem thumb rest below it like how you was adjusting the air pressure , another thing this put paint on panel which is a plus you end up using less paint

    Hi Gunman .. Happy new Year .. John the novice here .. Blind Freddie can see what you are showing … I`ve got 4yo old sata`s and have just bought a Pro Lite after watching your vids ..Seems like you need to fiddle with them all to get it to work properly but the Pro Lite worked first up .. Well it`s made a huge difference to the end finish .. Not as good as yours as my booth is Plastic but I only get a couple of bits of dust .. Easy to deal with … Not knocking Sata`s at all .. But Pro Lite is fantastic …Thanks for keeping everyone well informed Cheers …. Novice John

    I've used Sata all my life, love them, I have 6 ranging from the very first model up to the 5000b RP digital, but now with this honest review I'm starting to wonder if quality is starting to slip, Gunman you like myself use guns every day, straight up you could see this was not right, sadly I was going to purchase the new Sata x-5500, but now I've changed my mind, I might try the DV1, thank you for the honest review.

      As I say man, as long as you get it from a reputable seller who's known to deal with faulty tools well and replace if necessary you should be fine, I'm sure they're not all like this, however, I know these ones weren't the only ones from other videos I've seen on RUclips. In saying that, I haven't got anything bad to say about the DV1.

      Talk to older painters. It wasn’t until HVLP regulations started that Sata really took off. But Devilbiss and Iwata caught up years ago. Look at something like the Sagola 4600, it’s a pretty innovative gun and it sprays the business. That’s kind of what I’d expect from Sata to pay those prices, industry leading quality tools. Satas are just good guns imo.

    Hey gunman
    I have the same patten problem but with one of my 'basecoat' pro lite with 1.2 te 10
    But my 5000 1.3 rp
    Sprays absulutly top ...
    And yes the pressure adjustment is hmmm 🤔
    But with an regulator it works.... 👍
    1000 Dollar for a sata
    ..... my gti pro lite was 300€ and my sata jet 5000 rp 420€
    1000$ ...you are right that is much to much...
    The jet 5500x is here 650 € the dv1 650€ and the supernova 800€
    I think this is to much !
    A pro lite can do the same ... and is more flexibel in use ,only an other aircap and you have an hvlp... 😉
    I believe sata will have the custumers back they have loose with there jet 4000 🤣
    The O and I by the 5500x is a step to devilbiss and anest iwata 🤔

  • @ARTSPRAYUK
    @ARTSPRAYUK 4 года назад

    One thing I have always disliked about Sata is as you have mentioned the air micrometer however stiffness and fidgety setting of the pressure is mainly due to static line pressure being to high so I set my line pressure at what Sata recommend which is 4 BAR however just like you I will never like the micrometer set up which also tends to wear out fast

    @robertpavey6685 3 месяца назад

    I prefer my pro lites to the Sata5500 to me they spray like a cannon not my style gun but after a short period I got used to them settling up less pressure to suit my painting style still great guns but don't compare to devilbiss in my opinion

  • @blazer2797
    @blazer2797 3 года назад

    lol it’s stiff and hard to adjust because you have too much pressure going to your gun , you need to regulate from wall keep micrometer wide open then make “micro” adjustment hence micrometer term

    • @TheGunmanChannel
      @TheGunmanChannel  3 года назад +1

      They're stuff without any air up to them. They're called a manometer not micrometre. Micrometres measure thickness while manometers gauge pressure. I also only ever run 60 psi at the wall for that reason, just enough to run my air fed respirator and gun.

  • @Modifiedtaco
    @Modifiedtaco 4 года назад

    The air caps can be extremely sensitive. After the 3000 I feel like the metal they use hasn’t the same quality. They still are the best guns on the market.

  • @timiracko6317
    @timiracko6317 4 года назад

    Thankfully there are so many guns on the market to suit everyone. Used to clear with my trusted supernova lotus at work, but the paint rep wanted to show me the x5500 (tried the 1.3 I) and the dv1. Was very hesitant since i didnt like the 5000 hose machine, but instantly fell in love with the x5500 which is now my main clear gun. But i can understand the frustration since you got 2 defective one, gabriel from motivated also mentioned a funny pattern on his hvlp. But as i said i love the gun, and i am not a sata fan by any means. Also a huge role is the price, the paint rep here offerd me one for 400 euros, i wouldnt justify it if it was as expensive as in australia. Still have no idea how they could be so much more expensive there

  • @jaycarr590
    @jaycarr590 4 года назад

    Totally agree with the pressure adjustment for such an expensive gun...the Adams are the way to go but then you have a $1000 investment by then...haha...but people keep paying it...it’s like Nike...$300 for sneakers cuz they say Jordan. SMH. Not a fan of Sata O either but the 1.3 i rp is a great gun.

    i have 3 sata spraygun 5000b hvlp for base coat , sata 1000b rp clearcoat alone , sata 4000b rp solid color or basecoat an sometimes clear.
    the only thing i fine is 4000 gives a little more orange peel when spraying clear good for european vehicle . no issue with the 1000b lay down clear like glass with full fan 5000hvlp just close the fan pattern about 1/4 turn .
    didn't know sata had new gun thanks for the reviews but u right they are pretty expensive i pay around $5,000-$8,000 trinidad dollar for 1 of those guns devilbliss prolite or gti around $4,000-$7,000.

    Writing from Brantford, Ontario, Canada. Where icily cold here right now of -6C. Good time to review your videos. Looking for A spray guns list of best guns to buy for my Spray season up here April 15 to Oct. 30.
    One gun can not do every job.
    So have broke it down into categories.
    1) Best Gun for applying finish Colour coat and clear on a car.
    2) Best Gun for applying Primer to auto body panels. Fenders, door panels, hoods (bonnets), trunk lids (boot doors), etc.
    3) Best Gun for spraying finish top coat and clear on engines, transmissions, rear ends, drive shafts, suspension parts (springs, control arms, struts, car rims, gasoline tanks, inside bumper steel reinforcement parts, etc.)
    Looking to buy Best guns, with so many guns on the market, you know your guns and could narrow it down faster then me.
    Watching some other videos from the USA, these cheap guns (copies of Sata, etc. from Harbour Freight, will they do as well as a high end gun. This was from a professional painter. He's saying it's all in the painter using the gun.
    I know it may or may not be true. But better high guns will have better materials, better jets, machined or ground needles. better knobs, chrome, design, etc.
    Thanks,
    From the Great White North
