Devilbiss DV1 Base / DV1 Clear – Spray Gun Review
“DV1 Paint Gun Review: Improved Build Quality and Sleek Design”
Looking for a reliable and easy-to-use spray gun? The DV1 Paint Guns from Devilbiss might be the perfect fit. In this DV1 paint gun review, we’ll take a closer look at the features and performance of these guns, which are designed to fit into the market above the previous generation of spray guns in the Tekna series.
Improved Build Quality
One of the standout features of the DV1 series is its build quality. Devilbiss has removed the baffle design behind the air cap, resulting in fewer parts that can be removed, cleaned, or broken. The air control has also been integrated around the air fitting at the bottom of the gun, giving it a sleek appearance and smooth operation. Another improvement is the digital gauge, which has been moved to the body of the gun and is easily visible and durable.
During our evaluation, the DV1 Base gun was used primarily for basecoat application or sealer application, while the DV1 Clear was used strictly for clearcoat. However, it’s worth noting that these guns can be used to deliver a wide range of products and some technicians have reported good results using the DV1 Base for clearcoat application.
DV1 Paint Gun Performance
In terms of performance, the DV1 delivered sealer smoothly with minimal fallout on the edges. It also handled basecoat exceptionally well, delivering metallics with ease and minimal blotchiness. The familiar spray pattern and delivery system of Devilbiss products makes it easy for both new and experienced users to get the hang of these guns. The ergonomics of the gun are also similar to the Tekna series, making it comfortable to hold.
In summary, the DV1 Paint Guns offer improved build quality, a sleek design, and good performance for basecoat and clearcoat application. If you’re in the market for a reliable spray gun, the DV1 series is worth considering.
