I’m looking for a new clear gun, My current gun is a SATA RP 1.4. I move kinda fast when I paint and like a 1.4 over the smaller tips. I see HVLP.. just LV guns and several other Iwata guns. What is best for cars? Thanks Bill
which version of the RP so you currently have?
RP is the best gun out there for speed.
i pretty much use an rp for everything from sealer to base to clear.
use a hvlp for primeing, sealing, base, rp or compliant non hvlp for clearing.
My Sata RP is the digital model 09049111 I like it for clear, I use an NR3000 for base. I’m just looking for the “next level”

The next level begins with metal work and ends with the finish

The next level BEGINS with metal work and end with the finish
My next gun purchase will be an RP digital 1.4 for clear.
My Iwata LV is nice for the work I do (lots of little jobs with SS) but SLOW
I also threw out my old primer guns. The 3m Accuspray is where it’s at!
If it’s speed you’re after then stick with the RP. The high delivery versions of the WS400 Supernova come close (and give a marginally better finish IMHO) but the RP definitely has the edge on speed.
I bought the RP because I thought it was the best… Today and this week it sure laid out a super slick “no buff” gloss on a Siverado pickup… parts painted the hood, bed, cab with fenders.. .. DING, if I get back and look down the side.. yeah.. I see a litle ripple in the bodywork. I saved the dedutible and it’s a truck.. FRIDAY PAY DAY!
I have been using RP’s for over 10 years really haven’t seen anything better IMO.I use a combo of teknas rp’s(first gen and a 4000) and an old jet 90.Iwatas are nice but they just don’t work for my style,what ever works for you that turns out consistent work is the best gun.
I guess I’m old school but I don’t care if its a truck/car/beater I like then to be shiny and waveless 😉
im really liking the look of the tekna, anyone got any experience with one. Just need a job first though, lol.
I have used a couple for almost 2 years,there a great all around gun from sealer,base,to clear.The tekna is not as fast of a clear gun as an Rp but it still does a decent job,just depends what your spraying style is.
Hey, I have four clear guns, a Sata rp, a Sata hvlp, and two gti pros. The best set up for me is my gti pro with a 1.3 and te20 for a fast flow. I use it daily and think it give a gd finish for the everyday car. Depending on what style you paint and what finish your looking for. Also I think it does help to look at your data tech sheets for the clears your using which will help on the set up ull need 🙂
