Pro lite T110 VS TE20 Air Cap Review

After a lot of questions on what the difference between some of the popular Pro lite air caps are, I decided to do a head to head review and demonstrate the difference between the T110 air cap and the TE20 air cap, I will be demonstrating using a 1.3mm fluid tip and for use with Cromax CC6400 clear coat.

I love watching you laying the paint and clear finish down and I enjoy watching your videos because of how good, honest you are

[@barrycave1664]

Thank you for sharing your skills. I am stuck at home healing from an ankle replacement and watching your video so I remember how to paint 2 months from now. I have a 71 mach 1 mustang to restore next. Truly appreciate your time and sharing, I have truly improved my skills through your help. Barry from Montana, Krown Restoration.

[@fubarinwar]

You are one of a kind painter. The passion, knowledge, and experience you have in the trade is very unique. I have learnt a lot from you.

[@thomasjbucknerable]

love the quality ethic. do not loose that trait in yourself. not a whole lot of people have it anymore.

[@vontegethoff]

Started watching your channel because my dad and I are building a 65 year old hot rod and at some point it’s going to need paint. Great information and you know your trade. Thank you

[@jeffdeluca1153]

Another great job Gunman! And mate my hat is off to you for your concern for quality in a world where money comes first at the expense of quality! Im like you... if I need to do it twice to gt it right then I do

[@latinprince896]

Hands down The Gunman is the best sprayer on KZbin. All of his videos are very detailed and educational where he doesnt beat around the bush about what his settings are or how he sprays. 100% an honest man who speaks from the heart and not from his wallet. He doesnt constantly advertise any bs websites like everybody else because he isnt a complete sell out like all the other sprayers on youtube. My fullest respects to you Gunman. Hats off to you, your willingness to share your knowledge and most importantly your honest opinions and reviews. Ive learned so much from your videos and actually bought this exact gun with the TE20 air cap simply because of how well you show and explain everything in your videos. You deserve millions of subs in my opinion.

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Thanks mate, I really appreciate it, comments like that give me the motivation to make more videos.

[@EmilianAdam]

@@TheGunmanChannel what settings for gti pro lite te 20 for clear......

[@LuisC202]

Yes he has some amazing videos and a wealth of knowledge.

[@lesglover6515]

Excellent video sir. You have a great sense of humor, but you're an absolute professional and it comes through in every video that you make. So thank you for taking the time especially for the up-and-comers in this trade.

[@rmjmotoring]

Gunman, your videos rock, high 5 from Southern California, watch them on my lunch brakes. With your help I was able to teach myself how to paint and painted my first full car, my 1987 Toyota Supra

[@jaymcgill5554]

I do resto work and was never happy with the finish I was getting with the te20, after watching this I switched out to the t110 and got some of the best clearcoat finishes I've ever had, another very useful and informative video, thumbs up from me!

[@Dixler683]

If I am confused or need specific info I always check out your vids. Just the facts and no bullshit. Thanks.

[@stevensrspcplusmc]

Thank you for the honesty and all your hard work in your videos..I really appreciate it 😊👍

[@MrRedcelica]

your a ledgend gunny, im learning so much from you, im in my late 30's would love to do spray painting and no one will take me on, im teaching my self through your videos.

[@joshteel3226]

I got a t110 ordered! Thanks for all of the technical advice that you take the time to do in your videos! You are a special and unique technician and keep up the great work! Quality always wins over quantity! In our line of work things a lot of struggles have to be overcame, and you have helped me in my struggles with painting!

[@TheShawline]

Nice work Gun man, thanks for the insight, just laid 3 coats debeer clear on my VW project, with the TE20, in the home built booth! (dust guard) . got a fantastic finish overall, very satisfying. Thanks for all your vids along the way.

[@johnnymossville]

That finish is just fantastic, you knocked it out of the park on this one.

[@chondelgado5325]

great video man! awesome tech tips. Just bought my first tekna prolite, and from watching you videos I can't wait to test mine out.

[@nigelrose5681]

Always used 110 on my pro and pro lights but you are so right on te20. Speeds things up so much and seems to handle the more expensive clears better. I'm an old fart now been spraying cars since 1979 so used devillbis right back to the old jga guns. Great advice and spot on. Feel the force.

[@bigpoparb]

Big ups to u on not letting big corporations take u over keep doing what ur doing I enjoy the tips & trade thanks Gunnman

[@boscosdadhorvath6719]

Nice to hear a Fellow with THAT much Pride in his Work. We have a Family owned shop, and we ALL feel like OUR NAME Rolls out the door with EVERY vehicle that we Repair. We treat them All like they were OURS Im Proud of you!!

[@sprayscience]

The t110 air cap is the best air cap I have ever used. And you are right, it produces more overspray using more material, but the finish quality is the best in my opinion, especially for clear. The Gti-W in the past has the 110 air cap, and I still have that gun. Good review.

[@andredamon9516]

Hello from the USA ! Work at a shop everyday painting, love your work friend. I always learn a little more with your videos, much appreciated might as well buy one to add to the collection ha ha ha !

[@malowers5191]

Always appreciate your clarity of explanation, working towards being a better, maybe even GOOD sprayer! Cheers!

[@daveordonez1]

G another awesome vid! Thanks for going over details others don't. I've been getting awesome results on my guitar finishes sice watching your vids!!! You've become my go to source for honest no b.s. gun reviews and recommendations! Keep up the awesome work!!!!

[@kristofkellhammer9208]

Hey Gunman, it's great to see a new video again ;) This video is the reason why I will get the T110 aircap for the pro lite. I hope everything went fine back in Perth. I will stay tuned ;) I wish you all the best. And as you say: Let's paint some shit ;)

[@markgrevatt4867]

Your a cracking sprayer mate. Stunning workmanship

[@mitchellferre1652]

Great video Gunman ! Thanks so much for recommending the GPI. I love it ! : )

Man that is a mad coat of clear your smashing it on lol love the videos mate and it's obvious you have a passion for the trade you can tell in your work and your voice thanks for being genuine dude clear to see why you have the followers

[@gregoryjowers3629]

[@AdrianRomeroJr]

I've not painted one complete car ever even thought I've been wanting to start painting for a while now, but the love and passion gunman has for his trade, makes me feel the same about it. Gunny is the best

[@rooseveljackson8678]

great video.....watching your videos inspired me to come out of retirement to lay down a mean coat of clear...........keep up the good work gunman.

[@fernandomongiardino8170]

Great Video, I been waching you channel and you show some graet versatility, painting in rather different conditions and different budgets but always getting the best of your resources and sharing it all.

[@carylamari6546]

I really appreciate you making these videos, I have learned a lot and it is because of your videos, I am a backyard car enthusiast, I have only painted a few cars but I would have given up if it weren't for your instruction because the first vehicle I did was a disaster heavy orange peal all over, I learned it was because I had too much pressure. I am using a Divilbiss plus with a 1.3 and it gives me a decent job. I only have a issue with runs. not many but even one is a pain. anyway I wanted to say Thanks for the vids.

[@robertgomez2205]

to the gun man i am very impressed with your knowledge and abilities. i started paintin years ago with laquers and synthetic enamels my fav gun wasthe mbc develbiss lots of changes since but im sure many remember keep up the good videos much apreciated sir robert thanx

[@TxStang]

great video , good to see a comparison of the different air caps

[@desifrazier121]

Thanks always gunman I order the t110 few years back long story I got away from painting but now I feel it again so I trust your taste I see you said te20 but I know I always can change the cap thanks again

[@robertbrown3291]

Bloody he'll Gunney Jesus your a brilliant painter from going from one gun setting to the next and yet a totally different way of painting you're friggen great OK gunny take care and have a good weekend and thanks for the videos too man 👍

[@nunyayourbusiness7327]

[@jim-ft3iw]

hey I've been using the te20 after you recommend it. I've just bought the t110 can't wait to paint some shit!!!

[@rixsta9630]

Thanks for that Man, this is one of my favorite videos from you now. I'm glad someone like you took the time to explain these caps as i just don't have time at work to really test them in depth like you have. I own them both and this video has given me insight on were and how to use them to my advantage a little better. Thanks again.

[@rixsta9630]

+Rick Sammons I was at work watching on my phone then got half way through and my data cap ran out. so only got half the video at lunch time was pissed off lol.

[@TheGunmanChannel]

+Rick Sammons haha ;)

thanks for all the great tips like always great work excelente quality

Good vid mate as allways. Pride in your work and the quality finishes you produce will allways win out over quantity and profit. Good shit mate. 👍

[@tarikhammad4651]

Thank you, you are a pro.Thanks for all the help man!

[@martinspiridonov4247]

I use T10 for basecoats,T20 for UHS and T110 for everything ! T20 makes more peel,but the finish with T110 is flawless,like a glass.Good video Gunny :)

[@martingmez1338]

thanks for the shot out to us U.S followers! we get the black one would be sweet to get the gold one. I was a data man when I started in 1998 then switched to iwata in the later half in my career. love my new pro light

[@curtispooler6497]

That's the right way to work I work the same way back in Barbados.

[@briannettles786]

thank you for you time in making these videos

[@johnhough4745]

thank to the gun man very good info thanks

[@brianlawson4487]

I like both caps and thanks for helping me get a baseline for my pro lite gun 2bar 4 turns out 👍

[@bstortford196622]

Very good job mate!!

[@blizsgarage8487]

Great videos gunman, I've learned a lot. One thing I,d like to say is as a at home diyer the pressure I use for this gun is 1 bar. 2 bar would work if I had a paint booth like yours and the ventilation. I wish one day.

[@RPMX4]

Hey Gunman,Terrific vid. Thanks so much. I just did a job last weekend with the TE-20 cap (& 1.3) but am always getting a whack of orange peel. I was thinking about running the TE-10 and will give it a try. I did find that cranking up the pressure reduced the peel wit the 20, so will try the 10 cap at 30 PSI and hopefully get more of a glass finish. You also have a strong following because you have great morale's and believe in quality work. Your fans appreciate that. A LOT!!

[@jershaus]

Thanks for the review!

[@vtecpowergt]

Hey gunman probably the best video for me that you have done always wanted to see a cap comparison video shame about the job but hey bigger and better things ahead I hope sadly here in the UK most of the body shops that I have worked at or seen tend to work on a cost basis not quality and would happily send out 2nd rate work and then fix after with a pissed off customer not all shops but does seem to be the bigger ones keep up the good work .

[@knightnrmer]

Sometimes I lay that clear on and don't even buff it .. soon as I think I got everything under control... I get a job in and that clear is running off the bottom or a body line .. your videos help every painter .

[@desifrazier6860]

ok i did I just purchase the devilbliss pro lite t110 1.3 thanks again for video I wouldn't never knew about this gun until now and just seen it on another person video on KZbin so thanks again

[@TheGunmanChannel]

No worries, you should be very impressed, I love mine.

[@DumbSkippy]

I have a GTi Pro Lite with a 1.3 TE110. Love it.

[@eviljoker303]

Hi Gunny I know this is an old video but the Tekna Prolite for me was a heaven send when I was spraying Waterborne base.The HVLP cap was perfect for those high humidity days and the te10 was wetter and was perfect for those hot dry low humid days .The TE20 cap was great for the winter and all around mid temps low humid days not too wet ,not too dry.I found the hard way the TE20 and TE10 with Waterborne on high humid days just sprayed it too too wet and the flash times were very long and the HVLP worked perfect for humid days .The Tekna/Gti guns are perfect all around and very versatile guns for whatever you want to spray .Sealer,base (solvent or water) clear,direct gloss it does it all 👍

[@ChuckNorris-kn1ee]

Gunny is the man

[@cacworks3806]

Love your work

[@hatta1991]

Oh Yeah! I loved my Devilbiss with the TE20 Cap :) You can work soooo fast with this Beast :D

[@bobsinclair616]

Thank you very much not a painter by trade your professional tutorials exceptional confidence builder gonna try classic car very soon

[@terrenceclark3309]

[@BearBudgetTurbine]

Nice look at the various caps. I decided to go t110 because i'm doing full resprays and everyone wants glass. Just ordered of SGD

[@dougowens8526]

Awesome work

[@camarotroy8657]

Love your work. Thanks for all the tec & info, it really helps me get better results and equipment. Keep painting shit!!!

[@SundownBlazer]

Thank you, I was wondering about the difference between the two before I buy this gun.

[@martin-jj9pe]

Love the videos properly some of the best videos

[@jesusalvarezsayula1784]

Badass👌🏽 To the guy who said you sprayed too fast, we spray clear at work just as fast all day lol. All about the finish 😏

[@Wretched2JZ]

@9:18 😮 lol little tight walking through there. But you must be a pro worming your way through the room when it’s full of panels/parts! Another killer vid Gunny

[@ronziegler4166]

Fast and furious lol.. great time handling it all. Great work.

[@germanofaria8570]

Another great video, Gunny! Best wishes for your new "adventure" in Perth. If you ever consider visiting/moving Europe say something because i need a good painter in my shop! Keep up! ;)

[@billmercado3004]

Wow I liked a lot is amazing just changing make look different

[@asksteevies4941]

That’s how I paint like the te20,nice video,mad smashing,lol...quality work ,good for you....enjoy your work..

[@mitchellferre1652]

I love the video Gunman ! I have a crazy Gunman inspired idea here ; DNA black chrome...on my guitar ! Possibly with Mutant Crystals in the mix. Or candy over black chrome ? I may post a vid and share my victory or defeat.

[@vascovenancio8965]

Thanks a lot im going to choose the T110 then

[@jimmyers2543]

Gunman another great video question what size fittings and air hose do you use? Good luck on your move back to Perth

[@azmanchesaad7087]

Perfeck job bro...

[@carlosorozco2687]

Like your style, nice

[@mazzkhan1306]

Thnx for Information Dude 👍👌

[@17valleyforge76]

that is a hose! I got the flg670 after your video. I am a hobby painter and your videos unlike others you go through the steps.

[@mikhailSRT4]

just got a demo gun. and having a hard time using it with ars 550 Brand clear coat. but I'm gonna try your tips . and hope I get better

[@steveguest8028]

Great info as always Gunman,do you mind me asking what diameter airline do you use to supply your spray guns ?

[@DoubleRRestorations]

Great video. I don't like the numbers game as well. It has hit my trade and the work (cable splicing) is not fun anymore. I'm getting ready to try that gun out for the first time soon. I will have to decide what air cap to go with. Thanks for the vid Gunman!

[@vwnut2]

In the comments below you mentioned the TE10 & T110 are similar but not the same. What is the main difference between the two? Couldnt find any videos of you comparing the two. Based on your reviews i will be purchasing the Tekna prolite (im in the USA) with the TE10 & TE20 caps and multiple fluid tips. Was thinking of buying the T110 cap separately but not sure if there is enough difference to justify the additional cost. Great videos!!! Thank you for taking the time to educate the masses!

[@seasonedtoker]

What he said @5:50 is sacred. Some pros relentlessly swear at their technique being the best, but the technology of a spray gun plays important role. A couple of weeks ago I got an R150 after your recommendation. Took it to my friend's shop, he uses SATA exclusively. He just had to say that the fan isn't as wide ajd gives a bit more overspray than on his mini SATA and I was trying to explain it to him that he is comparing his HVLP cap with a conventional one and a price difference of almost 300 eur. Once you gain confidence and you know what you are doing, stick with it and don't listen to others. As the gunman said, it is the end result that matters.

[@yaboyshotguns5051]

Amen quality over quantity! ❤️

[@littlemanoo]

Beautiful man

[@BrianNavalinsky]

Love your videos. Have you shot any linear polyurethanes like Awlgrip or Imron...

[@jmrhvac4542]

could you do video on how to set up a gun if you have time thanks nice work and paint

[@brendanw355]

Great review gunny. Personally I love the t110 aircap, the big thing with it for me is I can lay down the clear heavy to get that nice wet look but with very little orange peel where as with the te20 I get just a little more peel, this is using budget hs clear so the cap has paid for itself many times over by allowing a nice wet finish that previously I needed better quality clears for. The te10 is a good basecoat cap and ok for ms clears but it isn't really suited to hs clears in my experience. With the low air consumption of the T110 it would be the perfect cap for diy guys doing resto work looking for a nice flat finish imo and it also lays candies very even and flat. Oh and I use the te10,te20 and t110 on my lite and as well as my pro and the only difference I have noticed is the pro needs 27 to 29 psi to atomise the same as the lite does at 24 to 26 psi, other than that I can't notice a difference in the finished product. Keep the vids coming love your work. Cheers

[@robertgomez2205]

a question mr paint man can u do a video on the benefits and application of waterbase paints and the difference of low solid clears compared to high solids. i know alot about clears and paint but theres always sumthin to learn thanx rob😋

[@JohnWilliams-vg4yf]

Thanks gun man awesome videos I also have a question I’m spraying DC 4000 clear I’m deciding on using either the T-110 or the T-20 what would you recommend thank you

[@mlasch1478]

Hi Gunman, Thanks for all your videos. Like others, I have learned a lot. Thank you for your LVLP videos recommending them over HVLP for the home garage type user with smallish compressors. I will ask some of my questions in those other videos as well as here in case you see one and not others. It was my understanding in your video that a Devilbiss FLG5 can be run with a LVLP cap in place of the HVLP and it will spray the same as a LVLP specific gun. Is that correct and can the same be said for a Prolite, SataJet, Iwata, Airgunza etc with the right air cap? And Yes I do have access to a large volume compressor, just not at my house.

[@Mac-bs6hf]

Cheers mate 🇬🇧

[@REYREY-ue5fz]

Love your Videos man! Just bought my first gun I got a devilbiss pro little 1.3 te20 and I’m spraying Awlcraft 2000 is a two-component, premium polyurethane finish. What cap do you recommend? Thank you
