Devilbiss Tekna Gti Pro Lite TE20 v T110 Caps With Upol 2080 Clearcoat On Motorcycle Tank

[@Cavalier_Steve]

Hi Pete, I just wanted to say a big thank you to the work you have put into these videos they have built up my confidence in giving spraying ago for myself, I done my first bit of spraying Friday night just cellulose primer through my ANI F1/NS with the 1.8mm tip and I’m really happy with the way it has come out. I still have some filler imperfections that I need to address before I do another couple of coats of primer then onto the base coat direct gloss through my 0.9 F160. So thanks again Pete please do keep the videos coming they are very helpful informative and gives people like myself the confidence to give it a go. All the best. Steve.

Thanks Steven, that was the idea of the channel really, most of the guys on here are pros with pro setups, we can buy the tools but we can't replicate the conditions so i thought it would be good for people, like you and me, to show you can get good results without all the heated booths etc, don't know if your on Instagram but if you are maybe you could send me some photos of how you get on, be good to see,cheers mate 👍

@@peteshobbies5383 Thanks Pete, there have been a few hiccups with this boot lid that I’m doing mostly with me not sanding the filler enough it’s not until I sprayed it that I see the areas that needs doing clearly. I think I need to buy some guide coat hopefully that will help me. I’m sure there will be plenty of errors along the way. Cheers.

I like more TE 20 and than T 110 but for Japanese cars only. Great review like always!! Thanks a lot!

[@peteshobbies5383]

Thanks Walter, yes, the Japanese have a very fine peel with very little materials so i see where you would use the T110, cheers 👍

[@riccocool]

There is a point where the better atomization results in more small imperfections that are probably clearcoat that dries between the gun and part. The te20-110 are a good example of that point.

[@peteshobbies5383]

Hi Mate, yes, i see what your saying, makes sense for sure 👌

Hi Pete, Bit off topic, but I’ve just picked up a near new gti pro lite 1.2 TE20. Can you point me in the right direction for suppliers of the paints/clear coats you use and maybe where I could source a turntable? Any help would be greatly appreciated. All the best Gren

Just look up Lazy Susan on eBay or Aliexpress, and you'll be good to go. kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6jGd5iVhd2Vg8U In the past, I have got paint from Nuagane.co.uk and Advanced paint, also on ebay here, www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2-PACK-2K-Car-Body-Paint-BASECOAT-COLOUR-MIXED-TO-CODE-Metallic-pearl-Spraying-/350695888118?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p4429486.m46890.l6249&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0 These days I have my own mini paint mixing scheme so make stuff up as I need.

Pete I love your videos. I’m currently using a pro lite for wet on wet primer with a 1.2. I’m trying to achieve as flat of a finish as I can. Currently I’m using the TE10 air cap. I have the TE20 as well. Would you recommend I switch?

[@peteshobbies5383]

Hi mate, I've never used a Pro Lite for WOW primer but i would say the TE10, i know someone that uses a pro lite for exactly that and he uses a T110 because it gives the flatter finish of all the caps

[@HackMasterBlaster]

@@peteshobbies5383 would you choose an iwata w400 wbx or may be a kiwami4 wbx for that purpose?

[@peteshobbies5383]

The W400 WBX and Kiwami4 WBX, as you probably know, spray the same, they do normally atomise finer so i would say they would be very good for your requirements but I've never used one for WOW so can't say for sure, I would be surprised if they didn't give you a really flat finish

Hi, do you think a 200l 2.2kw compressor is big enough for the T20 cap? I’m using the ANI R160 mini at the moment, but I need a bigger gun as my projects evolved. I’m planning to purchase a GTI P Lite. Many thanks Vilmos

[@peteshobbies5383]

Hi Vilmos, yes, it should be fine, i presume as it's 2.2kw it's around 14CFM so around 10CFM free air delivery?

[@Mr318jones]

i know this old vid but please help to get right gun for painting whole car with glass flat finish. dont like slow guns. have a iwata lph400 1.4 and sagola dvr clear 1.3xl for clear. looking at prolite now. med solids sometimes high solids. all my customers want glass finishes. whats your recommendation? thanks

[@peteshobbies5383]

Hi buddy, I presume you have the Sagola 4600 1.3XL DVR Clear gun?, if so, it is normally very good and capable of good flat finishes. In my opinion, the Sagola is a better clear gun than the Pro lite, although Pro Lite is more universal, the T110 cap gives the best finish with a 1.2 tip but that would be too slow for you after the Sagola. The Walcom Carbonio with an MP cap is very, very good but expensive, and I question the build quality for something so expensive they now make an aluminium version, which may be better.

Hi Gregory, sorry, I've only just seen this, no, the normal base set up is TE10 and 1.2 and the normal clear setup is TE20 1.3, apologies for not answering earlier, sometimes these questions don't come up on the feed but then appear as unanswered in the home page a month later, most odd, cheers mate 👍

Hi Pete I am a beginner at spraying and have done a few small projects now however i am all self taught mainly by you tube. i was wondering if you fancy giving me a days training as i just want to understand what i'm doing right and wrong. I don't really want to go on a big coarse with a group of people and as i work in my shed doing it as a hobby for friends i thought i had a similar working environment as you.

[@davidray4655]

Hi Pete, just wondering how you rate the te10 vs the t110 cap for clear coat? Seen a lot of youtube painters saying its a great cap for clear. I think the te20 would be a hoser for me but. I've heard you say the t110 is painfully slow. Thanks

[@peteshobbies5383]

Hi David, knowing now that you prefer a slower gun i would say you will be ok with the T110, i would definitely go for that over the TE10 as it lays clear flatter, the TE10 is a basecoat cap really and very good at that, they are both relatively slow but sound exactly what you would like. I didn't think they were available in the US but i guess you can import one or maybe it's only certain states, one guy i was talking to was from California and I'm sure he said they can't get them or maybe can't use them, not sure

@@peteshobbies5383 Hello Pete. I have a Wider 4L, a Sagola 4600 Extreme, Tekna Prolite, Sata 3000 RP and many more spray guns. I work for a restoration shop. No matter what I do, I still have some orange peel. They told me to buy a Devilbiss DV1. Do you think the DV1 will be able to get a super flat finish compared to the 4600 Xtreme or the Wider 4L? Thanks

[@peteshobbies5383]

Hi Rigal, No, I don't think a DV1 will give you a better finish than the guns you already have, which incidentally are excellent. You will always get a degree of orange peel with any gun, but it should be possible to get a very, very good finish straight off the gun. Have you tried experimenting with different clear coats? , some flow better than others. If it is difficult for me to know how bad the orange peel you are getting is, obviously air pressure, speed, distance, and temperature all have a bearing on the final results so maybe there is something else you could do to help reduce the peel

I have both the TE20 and T110 cap and have to say I agree with your findings, I'm always painting for the flattest glassy finish I can get so the T110 was my go to until of course I got the DV1 with the C1 cap and 1.2 nozzle and IMO the DV1 gives a better flatter finish than the T110 which may not suit the professional painters who need to match the OEM peel on todays cars.

Hi Lee, neither of the two caps here are HVLP, Devilbiss call them trans tech, the TE20 uses more air than the T110 and TE10, in fact it uses the most of all the caps bar the HV30 which is HVLP.

[@peteshobbies5383]

I would say yes if you have to replace yours, i don't think its worth selling the Pro Lites if they were yours and buying a DV1 set for the sake of it but if your going to buy new pro lites i would say it's worth the extra. The base gun gets more or less universal appraisal, the clear gun seems very much Marmite, i get on fine with both, the finish is excellent on both, some find the clear too slow and the finish too flat , if that's the case the C2 cap may be better, it's a slightly fatter shorter pattern so wets up a bit more so speeds it up, I personally like the C1 cap
