FAKE DeVILBISS SAMER SRi Pro: Spray Gun Review

[@edwardofernando2763]

Hey gunny. Been on a binge of some of your older vids like this and the italco copy videos. To to reflect on and challenge flaws in our logic/ID is rare trait. Its how we grow and develop and some people never do. Deadset legend mate.

[@Evox2316_]

Haha yes! I was the one who asked about the fake devilbiss guns on Instagram, thank you for making the video

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Hope you enjoyed it. Did it make you decide to buy or not?

[@Evox2316_]

@@TheGunmanChannelnope, I already have a genuine pro lite, gti millennium and flg5, I’ve just always been curious how they sprayed, especially to someone who’s so familiar with devilbiss guns

[@3Wheels1Block]

I just want to point out at 6:00 that you adjusted the fan and air on the fly. And you aren't running a regulator at the gun. That was impressive, not sure if anyone else caught that, but I saw that power move 👍🏾

[@spencermaiers8322]

To quote my wife's father, if it's high quality I don't care how cheap it is! 👍 Boss man!

[@juliusvalentinas]

Snobs can buy original, too expensive for occasional paint job

[@nickjoiner450]

Hi Gunny I have two of these copy sri guns. I use them for spraying rust treatments like por15. Keep my sri pro lite and ani r160's for actual paint jobs.

[@stickfigure9662]

Thanks for making the video Gunny even though you had moral hesitations. I got an Ntool fake GTI and its great for $65. Would love to see a under $75 clone gun shootout from a pro painter. The people disrespecting them have never used one.

[@coolkids2064]

At the end of the day it comes down to the user, regardless of the type of spraygun. You just proved that you can achieved great results even with a knock-off spraygun!😄👍 Great review at an affordable price. Can only imagine what type of spray guns were used back in the days without modern technology and still made it look damn good. So good the paint still remains on the classic cars. Thanks for another great review.

[@justinw523]

You can go back and forth all day about expensive paint guns and cheap ones but it all comes down to prep work and the user, if your a damn good painter you can make any spray gun work and look professionally.

[@normd5776]

I appreciate your honesty, some videos that are called reviews are just trying to prove to you that their fanboy "make" is the best, and the only one you should buy. I can understand your trepidation at "fakes", but you still are willing to give credit when it is deserved.

[@TheDoug9901]

prolite copies 1.3 110 cap work really nice, three holes in the air cap. I was painting trucks a while back and wasn't going to bring in my Sata to spray used junk trucks, most of the time they were white. Paint jobs with the prolite are as good as yours(other people's opinion) too bad I can't post a pic

[@STUDIO-2.1]

Hi, Dan here from Trinidad West Indies. Been watching since last year, thanks for your honest and real videos bro. No sugarcoating ....will always be a fan.

[@dogemcmoon9644]

The fake yellow GTI pro lite actually sprays good. I eventually replaced it with an authentic GTI pro lite but it was good. It has the "t110" cap but the holes are the te20 ones lmao.

[@M.E63]

The caps are all the same , just labelled with different model number

[@AD1978leo]

Looks like it would be a good hobbyists gun? Then again.. I'd recommend getting a easy to use gun like a Prolight even if you only do it for a hobby, a good gun will be worth every penny. There's an Iwata knock off ( in the states at least ) called Pro-tek that actually sprays well, but as with cheap guns they don't last more than a year or 2.

[@BearBudgetgarage]

Didn't have good results with the GTI pro Samer gun. Trying to save $$$ cost me $$$. I use throwaways for primer/sealer/polyester. Iwatta for all else now. Sticking with the same guns, you get to know them very well. I'm done experimenting, finally content with my paint guns and the results i get at home. (Where i am always working on something)

[@BeauOgrady]

I've got one of these dedicated for my ak350 fade out thinner gun. Works well over the wet on wets and small direct gloss fades. Way better and more controllable than the aerosols

[@paintaddictionthagreat]

Hahahaaaaaa if you watch gunny you know it’s crazy that he made this video. I appreciate the hell out of your review

[@WilliamVG]

I picked a Masterpro 44, and yes its not up to par with a genuine Gti Pro Lite but so far I'm pleased with it. Perfect for a weekend warrior.

[@thepaintshopja]

How is the gun holding?

[@mccoma11]

I always find it hard to swallow paying so much for a quality gun when a cheap gun that costs 1/10th as much will do a good enough job that you really can't tell which gun was used. I mean, don't get me wrong here. I will (and have) paid it. But what happens when some manufacturer produces a gun of equal quality and charges 1/4 the price of a high-end gun? Has that possibly already happened? And yes, I'm also taking into account things like warranty and replacement parts. If anything, parts for high-end guns are also needlessly expensive. When you look at it, these guns aren't really all that intricate. Some good materials and attention to detail during the machining and finishing process is all that sets it apart. Yes, that's worth some extra cost, but not to the extent they're charging.

[@jonmeacock8267]

any gun sprays good from the box, see how it does a couple of months down the line ;-)

[@RGD-Audio-Repairs]

i was random browsing spray guns on ebay etc the other week, and came across one that made me giggle.. It was called Segolio.... :P I wonder what brand they attempting to copy?!?! lol

[@JohnWD40TC02]

A good honest review Gunny, I personally wouldn't buy these fake guns but there are some people that just can't afford the originals so they have their place and from what I've seen they are pretty good guns. John UK.

I bought a similar gun branded devilibs it sprayed good for a month then the seals blew out total piece of crap compared to my ani r150 or my star mini gun. Be ok for someone wanting to spray a set of mags at home or small jobs but better off with a good brand in my opinion

[@jakeclauson9863]

[@awalk5177]

I heard that the Chinese copy was made after the patent expired on that model of gun. If that is true then the Chinese make a copy as close as they can for a discounted price. It looks like the patents were in 1989-1990 so the patents probably have expired after 30 years. Patents usually are 20 years with a possible 5 year extension.

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Spray guns have been around for over a hundred years. I doubt each model would have it's own patent

[@awalk5177]

@@TheGunmanChannel I looked up the Devillbis patents and they are actually for specific parts of the guns design, not the models, but all seem to be from 1989 -90.

[@Mechaniclyfe]

Hey gunny , things I learned from buying these fakes is, they usually are meant to only look like that actual gun it’s coping but exact specs are usually different , I bought a fake gti pro and the needle and cap where different than an original , not to mention the machining was not up to par. Further more these copy companies don’t stand behind thier product you basically get what you get rather good or bad. I’ve purchased fake Sata 5k and the spray pattern was tiny in comparison to the original Sata 5k rp, no where near the volume of paint the original could produce. Over all it’s basically free marketing for them, they know it will sell based on the sheer look of an original , the originals credibility in the trade , and reputation. I stopped purchasing the fakes because over all it injures the original manufacturers reputation. I’m still curious as to how copy cat guns still flood the market with out any legal responsibility.

[@nutzdeez5748]

All the pieces of the guns are cast in China and depending on the quantity ordered foundries will sub-contract either all or a portion of the order out to another foundry...thats most likely where the knock-offs would be made. The original order get shipped to wherever the headquarters is located I.e. City of industry, California, where they'd go through a quality control process, (parts that dont make it past here are sent back) those that do pass but might have small imperfections from the casting process are corrected before they go back through Q.C. then they get assembled into a final product. Its BECAUSE a compamy does the Q.C., the casting correction + the assembly within the USA that they can legally claim its made in America. When its just the assembly of it in USA, well then thats what it says, Assembled in the USA

[@nenadstanojevic1427]

The parts backup for a copy gun will be non existent. You will be throwing that gun away in time, as only a small part that goes missing or needs changing will not be available and now you are stuck with a shining write off. Chinese knock offs are just that, stolen knock offs. No parts, no support, go and buy another one. That is what they want you to do. Just go and buy another one. In the long run, it will bite you on the backside. Years to come, you will need something like a small part, and you will not be able to get it. Your body shop will not have it. Chinese company by then moved on and stealing and copying something else. Do not entertain the idea of a chinese copy. Down the road, it will bite you on the backside.

I have two fake Devilbiss. One of them is the same as this, except it doesn't have that silly name written on it. The other is "Gti pro lite" 1.3. The small SRi is fine gun, it atomizes ridiculously good , I use it for clear. And the fake gti pro lite is the complete opposite, - total garbage. It doesnt atomize shit, and spits big random sized droplets. I will replace it with genuine FLG5.

So, wich do you recommend to buy for home use, the gti pro lite 1.3 ?

[@rimka11]

​@@Danidasanic If you can spend a bit more, I would recommend to get the FLG5. If not, that little SRi copy is fine. I used it and usually made good results. But it has two problems. It doesn't like more viscous material, like some of clear coats can be. Another problem is that if you try to paint something bigger with it like a whole car, it would get annoying really fast with its small cup. That SRi was perfect for wheels.

The biggest problem with so called fakes is when they are marked and sold as the original product. Whoever knowingly buys a fake was never going to pay the price of the original anyway. I worked for a Japanese company who’s products were copied, they actually looked upon it as good marketing for the original as it’s flattering that their products are so good that everyone wants to copy them.

To be honest, when you buy a Chinese gun, make sure they don't have plastic or rubber seals behind the air cap, there are a lot of good guns that are cheap and spray better than the devilbliss spray guns, there's Avalon, atom, just to mention, I mean I bet half the parts of a devilbliss spray gun are made in china, coz everything nearly comes from china, a good painter, can make any gun work, I painted for over 28 years and seen a lot of guns, ime sorry if this offends anyone, but there are a lot of guns that are overrated, and some prices are ridiculous, for a good gun that's not right up there like data, ide go a ANI, Avalon, atom, sagola,nordsmen, walcom, just take your pick, hope this helps, and please please gunny, can you not mentioned devilbliss, and spray guns direct in almost all your episodes, regards John

Agreed, but why should we pay $1000 - $1500 for a gun when the R&D for them is ten years old and the price just keeps going up yet the gun has changed stuff all.
