    Hey guys do any of you use a Sata hvlp for metallic base coat, j know and again use it for clear. Just wondered what it’s like for laying down silvers and for fades,

    I use a Sata 3000 HVLP for metallic base and I couldnt ask for anything more. I used to spray clear with it too but it left a pretty bad orange peel.

    If you’re a SATA slut, that is the way to go.

    Since it hasn’t been mentioned in this thread yet…I’ll muddy things up and recommend the Tekna 🙂

    Yep, an old 2000, and it works well for me.

    I tried it with clear once and will never make that mistake again 😆

    I use a 3000 hvlp 1.3 as my main base gun. Works good for me @ 23-26 psi. I also have a wsb set-up that I sometimes use in high humidity conditions for solvent base. I have used it for clear on small jobs. Did alright but kinda slow.
