At what stage do you apply the flex agent? Is it mix with the base coat?
[quote=”ding” post=32860][quote=”KLese” post=32858]JasonM – Thanks for pointing that out. At the Sata demo, the Rep explained it differently. He refered to the fan control knob as a way to change the fan pattern [/quote]
Was there something else a fan control knob was supposed to do :whistle:[/quote]
Yeah, figured that 😉
Got a little confused because the Rep never called it that but rather a way “to do small spot repairs” (his exact words)…
JasonM – Thanks for pointing that out. At the Sata demo, the Rep explained it differently. He refered to the fan control knob as a way to change the fan pattern for a small repair (round spray pattern) He also recommend reducing the air pressure to lower the fan pattern.
Spray tech – Are you spraying solventbase or waterbase with the Sata? What size tip are you using to spray clear coat?
[quote=”ryan999″ post=32640]Im not sure what shipping and Importing taxes would cost you but they sell devilbiss gti prolites in Australia. Almost the same gun. Check that out and see if it can save you some coin. Also do yourself a favor and see if you can find a devilbiss gti pro with a T110 aircap to try. It is one of my favorite guns for clear. Depending on the specific clear you use it may be a great option.
The tekna will not have any advantage over the GTI Prolite. Depending on exchage rates and such the Tekna could be cheaper, not sure.[/quote]
What are the different between the GTI models: millenium, plus, pro, etc. I have been using a GTI as well spraying both base/clear coats with good results. (current student in autobody class)
Went to a Sata demo recently, well high quality guns but lil bit too pricey for my taste….and Sata 4000B does not have a fan control knob….
Hello all, I’m new to the site but not a noob looking to learn from the experts here.
We (students) have been getting great results with the Devilbiss GTI for base/clear coat. That gun takes lot less air than the Sata (between 20-23 psi) Different guns manufacturer have their own specifications and settings. Was at a Sata demo recently, pretty cool guns but pricey.
As for clearcoat, why only 2 coats? It seems lots do 3 coats or sometimes more for showcar quality finish.
