im not a professional painter but my FLG 5 still does the job and it sits in the unheated garage during my Canadian winter and still works like a workhorse during the summer. all thanks to your recommendation.
I bought one of these guns on the Gunman's advice. Now I'm not a professional but I do restore my own cars and this gun for my needs is A+. Thanks for the advice Gunman.
I have both the base and clear DV1 guns and as an amateur spraying classic minis (Hobby), i find these both much better than the other DeVilbiss guns. Mine are the digital versions which is very handy. Great videos and loving the Gunman spray suits which i will purchase for my next job. 😎
I just wanted to say that Spray Guns Direct are great to deal with, I've ordered several guns from them over the years. Even if paying more due to the exchange rate I will continue to use them purely for the customer service you receive.
As for build quality vs the Prolite I don't miss that little gasket behind the air cap. A bit too much thinner or too many times on and off and you tend to develop air leaks on the prolite in my experience. The fluid nozzles on the DV1's are a bit mire delicate compared to the prolite and or a Sata which are both tanks imo. I've got 3 of the DV1s and love them though. They see daily use.
Hello from the United States, Gunman! Just want to thank you for the content you provide. I have been looking around at some paint guns, as I am about to paint my dad's truck and mine afterwards. I have done ATV and motorcycle frames with what we call the Harbor Freight Special in the U.S. (Like $15 USD), but I wanted to invest in some quality guns for the trucks. After checking out your ranking videos and the FLG/Prollite reviews, I ordered a Prolite for base and clear, and an FLG5 for primers. Once they arrive and I get my materials I'll have to bug you about setup suggestions. Love watching your videos, you provide such clear information in a digestible manner. Also enjoying the Torana videos, wish I could get my hands on one here in the States. Edit: right after I posted my comment, you mentioned the Harbor Freight guns, I didn't realize there were Harbor Freights in Australia!
I have seen a video of an LH Torana in LA, but we don't actually have Harbour Freight here in Australia, a guy sent one of them guns out to me once haha
Yep can say i was working with you at the time of the base coat gun. No one way to excited due to price. Haha but it did spray base coat effortlessly. Definitely a gun for the everyday sprayer 👊
Great review Gunny and the finish off the gun on that bonnet was amazing but that was down to your skill more than the gun, I love my DV1 guns but I won't be rushing out to get the Circuit edition as IMO the original looks better. It seems like all the big manufactures are yet again raising their prices, even the new Iwata WS400 series 2 is going up in price next week, they will end up pricing themselves out of the market if this continues, I'm lucky enough to have a good collection of guns from nearly all the big players out there so can't see myself getting any more anytime soon🤔 Thanks Gunny🙏👍John UK
Thanks @The Gunman quick question because I just watched the 3M performance review and I noticed you mention it wanted too much air so not great for DIY'rs in the home garage, how does the DV1 (basecoat/clearcoat) compare for someone in the garage on like a 40 Gallon compressor? I also spray mostly solvent, does this make a difference too?
I had a question for you, I have a DV1 basecoat gun and was curious, are the basecoat gun and clearcoat gun the same body and internals? I was thinking of just ordering a C2 air cap for it, I was hoping it's like the prolites were and you just switch the air caps. Thanks in advance gunman!!
You definitely can, I've done it before, they probably just want to go the SATA route and make you think you need a different gun so you buy another, but you definitely can still swap and change.
I bought one from same place you have the link posted definitely enjoying it , similar to DV1 in my opinion , but this link for some reason is broken now can’t go to this website no more , any info on this ?
You are correct, it would appear it's not just that link but their whole website has been hacked. Just wait a few days, no doubt they'll get it sorted.
Save up that little bit extra. Get the prolite. Flg5 AUD $350ish Prolite 1.3mm and 1.4mm - about $650ish Te10 or Te20 aircap. ( Research for hot/cold environment to suit you) Te20 pumps fluid on - maybe suited to car paint. Strength/build/quality , it is a perfect build.
Been thinking about getting this gun for a while now. I literally stopped the video half way and went online and bought it! Also does anyone know the part number for the pps 2.0 adapter for this gun?
If you go with the o pattern on both 5000 and 5500 then they are very similar. The I pattern on the 5500 is a taller fan but not as wet. The 5500 is more user friendly in my opinion
5500 rp build seems higher quality, but also less serviceable, they did away with the plastic air distribution ring, and the 5500 has a swivel at the bottom. 5500 rp doesn't blow the 5000 out of the water like going from 4000 to 5000. If the 5500 is quieter, softer or atomizes better, it's probably not noticeable imo.
I have found a lot of painters have switched to the dv1 from the ws400. Not sure if they think it’s similar or not. Just ordered mine and we shall see. I do love my supernova, just can’t deny the results everyone is getting with this gun
@@peterpearce8489 I've tried the dv1 clear with both air caps and this gun was painfully slow, I've heard many other painters complain about the same thing
Don't like it, don't buy it. I don't see why people get so worked up about something existing that they wouldn't buy, just don't buy it, let people who do like it buy it. It's an extra $100 you're paying for the artwork.
I've been using a DV1 for base for over 2 years, amazing gun.
im not a professional painter but my FLG 5 still does the job and it sits in the unheated garage during my Canadian winter and still works like a workhorse during the summer. all thanks to your recommendation.
No kids no wife but my paint guns stay in the kitchen they've made me millions and millions what wife has done that
I love the flg 5
Still waiting for flg5 gunman edition!👌🏼
I bought one of these guns on the Gunman's advice.
Now I'm not a professional but I do restore my own cars and this gun for my needs is A+.
Thanks for the advice Gunman.
Wow now that really a good build spray gun .I still use a flg5 gun and man that gun spray really good to I guess it's the man behind the gun also

Thanks Gunny🙏👍John UK

I wish I had bought a steampunk edition when they came out few years ago
Hi gunman love the reviews you do for us all 🤙

Entertainment for a Friday thank you!
Nice vid
Hi Gunny, Great reviews and I was wondering is this an HVLP gun?
Love my dv1 clear coat gun bought in Australia for $600

Nice work mate.
9:04 love it 😂
I find myself slowing down just a tick with the DV1 w c 2 cap .3 needle
Very nice spray gun.
I feel like I go through more material as well

So could you use this dv1 as a basecoat gun? What would be the difference in the dv1 basecoat gun , why have 2 guns
How does it compare to the 3M gun for flat clear.
I had a question for you, I have a DV1 basecoat gun and was curious, are the basecoat gun and clearcoat gun the same body and internals? I was thinking of just ordering a C2 air cap for it, I was hoping it's like the prolites were and you just switch the air caps. Thanks in advance gunman!!

Is it better than Sata ?

I contacted them and it's been fixed, try again if you need to.
@@TheGunmanChannel awesome thank you
hey gunny whats the best budget gun for clear and base in 2023 is it still the flg5?
Save up that little bit extra.
Get the prolite.
Flg5 AUD $350ish
Prolite 1.3mm and 1.4mm - about $650ish Te10 or Te20 aircap. ( Research for hot/cold environment to suit you) Te20 pumps fluid on - maybe suited to car paint.
Strength/build/quality , it is a perfect build.
Hi Gunman, this DV1 Digital Gauge can you change de battery????
I have never had to, email Chris at info@spraygunsdirect.co.uk
Been thinking about getting this gun for a while now. I literally stopped the video half way and went online and bought it!
Also does anyone know the part number for the pps 2.0 adapter for this gun?
S15 PPS2 just like pro lites.
@@TheGunmanChannel thanks man!
Let me have it please..😅
How do 5000rp and 5500rp compare to one another? Thanks

@@alexhateley7322 yes true the 1.3 0 5000 is way faster than the 1.3 0 5500
😁good
sprayguns direct ask them for a series 2 ws 400 wink bet they wont send that
Ja osobiście wolę Iwata ws400 Evo hd
dv1 sprays like a w400 to me
Haha. True.
I wouldn't say that.
I have found a lot of painters have switched to the dv1 from the ws400. Not sure if they think it’s similar or not.
Just ordered mine and we shall see. I do love my supernova, just can’t deny the results everyone is getting with this gun
Anyone thought of using a DV1 base for wet on wet? just a thought since it lays base so good.
@@peterpearce8489 I've tried the dv1 clear with both air caps and this gun was painfully slow, I've heard many other painters complain about the same thing
👏😃👍🤓💪😉🤘😎💣💣💣💣💣💣💥💥💥💥💥💥💥💥🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🔫
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷🇮🇷
soooo its the same dv1 but with a limited custom design on the gun, nothing at all to improve the performance of the spraying.... wow.
