Ok…. Im not really a shadetree painter but I dont spray in a booth either :stoned …. Ive been browsing the web for some info and found this forum tobe very usefull. I see that there is a lot of very talented painters here. Im from San Antonio Tx and Im happy to have found this forum…
Welcome aboard,glad you found us 😛
thanks… i actually sent you a message about sata rp’s . hope you have time to help me out
Welcome to the site
Oh I see you answered my message. Sorry im new to forums hope Ill get the hang of it soon. ill try to make it short… Ive been painting for a couple of years now at a little dealership . Own a 2 minijets 1.0 …. 3000 hvlp 1.4…. 2000 hvlp 1.5. …… I use my 2000 1.5 for clear but im uhhappy with the results. Im currently spraying Matrix MS clear for my production work. I average 2 to 3 panels per vehicle. Im looking to purchase a 4000 RP but cant decide on a 1.2 or 1.3….. I also consider myself a fast painter as i feel my hvlps are sooo slooow but i have never sprayed RP
If you are a fast painter and use a medium solids clear I would suggest a 1.4 in the 4000rp.
Welcome! Dont waste your money on those very expensive sata’s, you can get a Devilbiss tekna with a 1.3 and produce just as good work if not better at half the cost.
The tekna is a great base coat gun,but not even close to a sata rp for clear.The rp has superior atomization, speed,and they are bullet proof,for an extra $200 it is money well spent IMO

Have you tried it out for clear? :p
Yup,not even close 😛
i agree. it is slower and can’t get the clear as flat with the tekna.. :clappy
f-both those guns. man what you need is the grizzly. i don’t own one, but i heard it puts out a professional grade job. it’s so good that a green back will be pro by the end of the first job. :weights :stoned
