Looking for people’s opinions on this gun as I have the opportunity to get one with three nozzles and te10 & te20 air caps for a good price. I guess this model has been out long enough now for any negative or flaws in the gun to appear. Can anyone give me there first hand experience with this model?
I love this gun. The TE10 aircap is great for certain clears, sealer, solvent and waterborne basecoat. The TE20 works good for clear and waterborne basecoat.
I have used mine a lot and have not had one issue with it at all.
What are the clear differences between the pro-lite and tekna regular?
The TE10 is not available on the older Tekna and I am a fan of that aircap. Also the fluid nozzles are designed differently. The Pro-Lite seems to shear the paint better, resulting in better atomization at the aircap. I also like that there is only one needle, it makes changing the nozzle a bit easier.
I actually prefer the older tekna for waterborne base and the Pro-Lite for solvent. The Pro-Lite is better for clear all around.
Thanks for the feedback Ryan, did you get the digital gauge with yours? Have you tried the hv30 hvlp cap at all…seems to use a lot of cfm though.
I’ve a gti pro-lite (uk version) for few months now and love it for clear. I’ve only got the te20 cap but will invest in a te10 cap to try or perhaps another gun with it fitted if I get it for decent cash.
The HV30 cap is nice. It does use more air but that is normal with a hvlp. I just prefer the 10 and 20 caps more.

Which nozzle do you find yourself using the most Ryan ?
Mostly the 1.4 for base, clear and sealer, but sometimes the 1.3 for clear.
