I've ordered 2 guns a NVE and a R500 I've watch many of the reviews which agree with your review, I got the NVE for a clear and candy only gun and the R500 for base coat, I have 4 gti pros I use for primer a 1.8 for 2k high fill and 3x 1.3 for acrylic's but I've never was happy with them, I run a 17cfm compressor I've got some Iwatas that need a lot of air, I'm repainting my car but I make guitars these days and do 50 to 60 a year I use a lot of pearls and candies, I'm looking forward to try the NVE

[@peteshobbies5383]

Hi mate, when you're used the NVE, let us know what you think 🤔

[@jamesmarques7245]

Gun sprays well, for an inexpensive gun. I like it, I don't do a whole lot of painting. I like to do collision work, body work.

[@peteshobbies5383]

Hi James, for the price, they are ok, although longevity would always be questionable if they are used a lot, like the R500, sprays ok but every time I clean it the trigger sticks so it needs lubricate, not well sealed I guess, cheers buddy 👍

[@biggysground]

Pete, an experienced painter starts off with a recommended pressure setting and makes final adjustments before and during painting, fact is I setup and then make adjustments as needed. This is true with any gun as thinners and temperatures do effect the spraying. I find the copies do a really good job once set correctly.

[@peteshobbies5383]

Hi buddy, yes, I would agree. These do paint quite well, although they aren't as good as the original. They are considerably better than the Gti Pro Lite copies imo. I run this NVE when I use it at 2 bar most of the time with clear coats and a little less with solvent basecoat. It obviously depends on a lot of things as to how this works for people, but it's certainly where I would advise someone to start, cheers mate, appreciate it 👍

[@biggysground]

I've had good results with GTI copy as well, not as good as the originals but lets face it for the $$ they are good. I have 3 Devilbiss and 2 copies. I love the SRI Pro, both OE and copy. :) @@peteshobbies5383

[@user-un5my5bw4j]

Yea but there is a major difference when you spray 8psi to 12psi with the real DV1 compared to 30psi to 35psi with a copy. Any professional painter including me does not settle when it comes to equipment for doing professional grade work for people. Besides, NO ONE SHOULD BE GIVING CHINA MONEY. So, the real thing is 3 times more money, well its 3 times better and will last much longer and you will not be funding a country trying to destroy your country's economy 🤷‍♂️

[@biggysground]

Why the objective reply? I'm not advocating one over the other, fact is I hardly ever look at the spray gun's line pressure during spraying and I used guns before the gauges started being used on guns. I always adjust by spray pattern and the amount of spray. I even sprayed hanging upside down on aircraft and have 50' hose fed spray heads, your reply pissed me off and I doubt your experience exceeds mine.@@user-un5my5bw4j

[@RGD-Audio-Repairs]

i bought this same spray gun to try.... It sprays basecoat super nice, for a chinese copy gun... Laid down some metallic vauxhall Metro blue amazingly.... I used same settings as you recommended, for a base line... Clear coat on other hand though..... Orange peel'd as f**k 🤣

[@peteshobbies5383]

Hi buddy, I found it sprayed clear quite well considering the price, was it that bad?

[@RGD-Audio-Repairs]

@@peteshobbies5383 Definately not the worst orange peel ive seen.. When held in sunlight, you can see the metallics all lovely etc.. But at angles, You can defo see the orange peel.... Although, this may be personal error... This is why i commented, to get advice :) When laying down the metallic basecoat, i backed up 8-9 inches from panel, and the metallics layed lovely... But on clear coat, i think i may have automatically just stayed at that same distance too... Could that be the cause of the orange peel? I think it was just something that was embedded into my mind tbh.. I knew i had to back up from the panel a little for the metallics... So my brain automatically made me keep a distance on the clear coat too.... Im using OSCCAR HS 912 clear, with slow activator and slow thinnners...

[@peteshobbies5383]

@Ay_Ess Yes, almost certainly, you are right to back off on metallics, I spray the drop coat or final coat around 10 inches. Some also drop the pressure slightly, but distance has a similar effect. With clear you want to be around 6" from the panel, maybe 7" but not more, you will find it goes on much wetter, which will help it flow out more, also slowing down a little will help although if you are closer to the panel you probably won't need to, it a matter of reacting to what your seeing

[@RGD-Audio-Repairs]

@@peteshobbies5383 Nice one :) I will scuff with p800 and try clear coat again :) Its amazing, I got the metallics to lay absolutely perfectly... But mess up on the clear coat :D This litte chinese spray gun isnt bad.. i will defo upgrade to something genuine, once my painting skills improve... thanks for your help

[@peteshobbies5383]

@Ay_Ess You're welcome buddy, let us know how you get on 👍

[@bosshawg7427]

Wow! I'm impressed! The fan pattern on that is pretty wide and soft while still putting out a decent amount considering you're using a HS clear. Imagine how it would perform with a MS clear. It laid down the base and clear with good atomization also. What do you think the of the air and fluid consumption? Is it pretty efficient or a hog? Another great review, and I look forward to the Astro EuroHE. I have one, albeit I have better. Keep up the great videos, Pete! ❤

[@peteshobbies5383]

Hi Boss, Yes, I was surprised how good it was. It is obviously not as good as the original, but it's 1/6 of the cost. Pattern was good, even and as wet as someone could want, I estimate it uses around 10cfm so not really an air hog in this day and age where everything that comes out seems to use more air than the one it replaced. I didn't want it to be as good as it was, but I can only say as I find, appreciate the comments as always buddy, thank you 👍

[@MarcBchannel]

Hi Pete. Interested to see what you think of the astro. Garage noise has a few vids on them. I never popped on one. I have a few budget friendly guns and they all seem to spray the same. My favorites as of now are my aeropro r500 and my flg5. I spent a little on the flg5 but to be honest it sprays about the same. I wouldn't hesitate buying another r500. Very good for the money. Always wanted to try the kiwami4 but ive never popped on one because Im afraid I'd be disapointed in performance vs cost. I just bought a used lph400 lv4 1.3 off ebay. We'll see if i like it. Always wanted to try the tulip tip and see how it sprays. I hope it patterns nice and keeps overspray down. Cheers

[@peteshobbies5383]

Hi buddy, I have two Astro guns, and I must admit they are pretty good, including the build quality. The FLG5 is a good workhorse, which I still have. The performance is ok and ideal for most forms of painting. Imo the Kiwami4 is a step up from the FLG5 and the R500, although we are talking small increases, not huge as none of these are bad guns 👍

[@refinishtechnology2529]

Believe me I have no issues with Pete hobbies he is a true professional he was the guy who pull the cover off iwata on the 1st super nova that was released concerning the split tip was not lining up correctly - thanks to Pete hobbies for decovering the devect

[@peteshobbies5383]

Thanks, mate. I know I mainly do smaller stuff. It's all I have the facilities for, to be honest, and motorcycles have always been my thing. I'm really interested in the spray guns themselves and the differences between them, particularly when some manufacturers say there are differences between certain guns when there isn't. I remember years ago, my background is in power tools and machinery, a large German manufacturer had 2 power tools they were selling, one was industrial and 3 times the price of the other that was classed as domestic, appart from colour, they were exactly the same, so, I've always been sceptical over a manufacturers claims. Cheers buddy 👍

GTI copy is ok at 25-30 psi and 2 1/2 - 3 turns out dose good for the price ? You can get great results if you can ajust to what the gun needs.

[@peteshobbies5383]

Hi buddy, The Gti copy certainly puts out too much fluid for its cap to handle, so backing off the fluid certainly helps it. The prices these sell at now have come down, so they can be had for around 45 USD which represents reasonable value for money, the NVE is more expensive but imo it's definitely worth it, it just feels so much more refined, cheers mate, appreciate the comments 👍

[@JohnWD40TC02]

Hi Pete, when I first saw this was up mate I thought this isn't a new video as I have that very gun on my gun rack😎😂 but I do agree that this gun is more user friendly than the GTI copy as that is a bit of a beast in fact I was using that (Your) gun this morning for clear and put the Kapci 6050 though it at full fan and full fluid and man does it chuck it out but I still managed to get a dry spot on the panel🤠 I'll be using your NVE tomorrow with the same clear but I will try your settings this time, I think I said when I posted it up that this gun is quite good for it's price🤔 Anyway you did a fantastic job on this one mate it looks superb it laid the base and clear flawlessly so much that I don't think you would get a better finish from the real DV1👌I loved the colour as well mate it really looks nice on the tank👏👍 Thanks Pete👍 Oh my new clearcoat arrived this morning so I'll be using that soon🤐🤫🤓

[@peteshobbies5383]

Hi John, I thought you might agree. The NVE is worth the extra money. It seems a bit better made than the Gti Pro Lite Chinese copies and gives more control with a better universal use pattern if that makes sense 😀. I'm glad you tried it flat out as it's a bit of a handful, not particularly user-friendly, especially when you consider it's probably likely it will be bought by a beginner. Cheers, mate.

[@peteshobbies5383]

Hi Rey, Yes, there's no reason why not, but if you have relatively simple car panels to do, then I would probably go one out on both fluids as moving faster isn't a problem. These really can throw it out, and the bit where I say it can overwhelm the cap holds true no matter what you are spraying. It's certainly imo better than the Gti Pro Lite copies as you have more control , cheers, mate 👍

I want to get this with a fast clear as I will be spraying in my carport. You mentioned dye back, could I just polish/buff afterwards and it should be fine ? And do you recommend fast clear for bonnet and front bumpers or is it too weak?

[@peteshobbies5383]

Hi Mate, Normally, the faster the hardener, the more dieback you will get. It's not set in stone, but it is quite a reasonable assumption. The answer is yes, you can normally get it back. It's just more work. I'm not sure what you mean by too weak 🤔

[@jonot8547]

@@peteshobbies5383 Thank you I meant weak as in durability wise compared to MS or HS clear

[@peteshobbies5383]

Normal, the quality of the clear coat has the biggest effect of longevity, as well as preparation of course, remember, clear coat needs to be applied within an hour or so of the base coat to get good adhesion

Compare to DV! this Gun need more pressure

Yea i spray clear with my Devilbiss DV1-C with original C-1 air cap and 1.2mm nozzle at 10psi for high solids clear. If using medium solids production or universal clear i use the 1.3mm nozzle and spray at 8psi. Thats a major difference

I cannot imagine any paint manufacturer recommending you microwave paint. use hot water and put your paint can in it. you are not a master chemist, just use it how you're supposed to man.
