SATA JET 5500 X HVLP DIGITAL 1.3 I Nozzle Basecoat Spray Gun Review

[@matthewwilliams9227]

Demoed one last week and decided to buy the say setup 5500 1.3i and i love it. Consistent droplet size through the whole fan patterns blending metalics become super easy even the hard silvers never puts it on texture

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

Nic eMate glad you like it

Did u buy the rp or hvlp?

What psi and fan settings?

[@David_Creyke]

Spot on. Love Sata, I have a Jet 90 and a older RP. I wish Sata was more affordable. I don’t think they are overpriced, they are worth the money. But I’m happy with my Teknas, Sata would have to make something industry changing for me to buy new. Plus most apprentice painters don’t start in Sata anymore like back when HVLP first became standardized.

[@saifuddinudin1748]

yes,I agree,sata 5500 sprays really nice and smooth..now I am falling in love with that sata gun.I am iwata guy but now I changed my mind to sata..

[@niamakhtar2234]

well....my collection is 22 sata's so far...And I love them..Only Iwata I have is the LPH 80 and that is purely becuase of its ability for close control and hardly any over over spray.... But.....can I praise you for your down to earth, easy to follow, advice and you push out quality work...Keep it up m8 and all the best.

[@kr2513]

Tony would love to hear if your thoughts or settings have changed on the x5500 I pattern hvlp. I'm finding I have to close the fan some and that's not really anything I've read anywhere. Salutations from the states

I use iwata lph400 but it has mottlingbissues with coarse metallics does this gone lay down metallics better?

How is the tip 1.3 compare to the 1.3 hvlp 5000 and iwata 1.3?, bcs some paintere where recomend it to go with the 5000 hvlp 1.2

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

i havent used the 5000 hvlp as i said in the video , the 1.3 tip is good enough for small or large jobs and persoanlly i wouldnt go for the 1.2 for base the 1.3 is perfect

What is the best spray gun for begginers in the hvlp line for devilbiss and satajet

[@AChampagneWeezy]

I bought a sata jet 5000 hvlp for my first base gun off of a snap on truck , made payments . Now I'm paying off a 5500RP I pattern, best money ever spent

[@martinmccready4730]

Tony may i ask why you put blending thinners on before paint thanks in advance

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

Its not blending thinners its blending clear , basically clear paint we put down first that helps the laydown and blending of metalic paints its not always needed but comes in handy on awkward colours

[@martinmccready4730]

What do you think about Iwata WS400 evo HD for Solvent base ? (Light metalics). I want buy iwata or Sata 4000/5500hvlp

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

Both the ws , ls are great for solvent base I’ve used the sata too for solvent base again a great gun

[@intraw831]

A paint supplier told me to stay away from the 5500 because of there being no distribution ring. Says he's seen them have problems

[@MrSnipes1987]

It's built into the cap. Less parts, less maintenance. If you can afford it go for it!

[@marshallallen72]

I know this is an old video, but which gun would you choose if price wasn’t an issue...devilbiss dv1 or sata x5500 hvlp

Honestly neither I’d take the sagola 4600 dvr clear 1.3xl much better fun for the money

[@Jaimerga]

Tony Which gun do you consider best for the transparent iwata Hakone - Lotus or sata 5500

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

Honestly the iwata and 5500 are exceptional for clear that would come down to your budget more

[@Jaimerga]

@@TonysRefinishingTV thanks Tony.

[@dekorokone]

Do you have the settings all open?

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

hi mate so , 2.0 bar air pressure , full fluid , the fan is 1 3/4 open from closed no more no less otherwise the fan pattern is off

[@dekorokone]

Thanks. I have this gun. And its hit and miss for me. The rep said use it all open at 26.but with that recommendation On silvers it tends to mottled or not wet up evenly. So again thanks I'll try your settings tomorrow.

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

lol sorry man thought you had asked that question on another video , ok so for the sata run the fan on full its great on full fluid i wouldnt run that on full mate itll be way to wet and thats where the mottle will come from in your silvers n high metalic colours , try opening the fluid about half way open and run it from 1.2 1.5 bar on tha air mate hope that helps

[@ntonytay]

Hi tony, sorry for commenting old video post. I just tried out satajet x5500 today and with setting fluid 2 turn out, spray pressure 2bar, full fan, the clear spray out quite orange peely. Using Spralac MS clear, slow reducer and 10% thinner max. I tried out other gun and it spray out fine. Is it really sata spray gun really hard to use? First time trying it out and need advice on the gun set up. I have some test panel pictures and hopefully u can help out.

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

So best way to set any gun mate for clear , full fan , 2.0 bar pressure 2 turns out , if it’s feels dry or slow add more fluid till your hit your sweet spot , we all paint different so tweaking it to your sweet spot is key

[@ntonytay]

@@TonysRefinishingTV thanks for reply mate. Yeah guess it really need time to get used to sata. Its a good gun just Its really need time to tune up, i never quite full fluid turn during clear coat, as for sata, i think i will try 2.5 turn which is max fluid and see hw the clear goes. Been looking around for sata review video nw, some painter says high pressure 3.5 bar some low pressure ard 1.7bar. As u mentioned different painters has different settings, guess i will need to try out until the sweet spot.

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

Exactly mate it’s setting it up to what fits you and also the products you use buddy

Good vid mate, best channel on youtube keep up the good work. You should test out the devilbiss gpi, i think it would make your top 5 list.

thanks for watching

[@1matdent]

By the time you talked and blow of your clear binder it was a dry bed blending , not wet bed... anyway nice video 👍🏻

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

It may look it on the video but it’s still not fully dry at that point plus once it’s down it will give you the same affect as it being wet it still helps the metallics land nicer on the car

[@automotiverevival2943]

Love your videos I’ve just started s channel and was wondering can you remember how look it took to get the first 100sub then 1000 and so on. Love the work pal. Keeping it real. Ps I think we have the same booth

[@Matthew-Clark1980]

They are very proud of their spray guns nowadays. That's why I switched up to the DeVilbiss GTI Pro Lites a couple of years ago. Great guns at a more pocket friendly price. Used to be a die hard Sata guy.

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

i know what you mean , im stubborn lol il save up and get one eventually lol but for now for an everyday gun purchase that £600 price mark is just out of reach for a base gun

[@Matthew-Clark1980]

[@hjurryyyttgyyrffguiiut2878]

It does not have a "massive" fan. Its just same as all of them . But it hose out more paint . Im not very impressed. I bet u my honor the 6000x is just around the corner. I reverted to 4000 hvlp for light metallics. The 5500 did really poor and blotchy final control coats. But its a hoser for large non metallic jobs. And its similar to iwata w400.

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

Honestly can’t agree there the 5500x I was awesome for all types of base

tony I like your vids but in my opinion the only point by spraygun testing is is the result and consuption of modern paint systems and I have use all the sprayguns but day in day out I use SATA and they serve me the last 18 years without to change nothing !my 2000 RP has cleared over 25000 invoices !where is the price difference ?A tool is not the price is how much they can bring to you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@TonysRefinishingTV]

£600 for a clear gun yes as its the final finish on the product , £600 for a base gun for me is out of reach and is for alot of professional painters who have to buy there own guns to work with, so although i agree a £600 gun when your painting £1000s in work with it each week isnt too much to spend , £600 for a base gun is still alot of money in my honest opinion and not something easily bought by most

[@leoprior3437]

Buying a sata won't make you a better painter, but it will make you a fool for buying one.

[@metalmagic9845]

All your credibility when out the door when you burned the clear in on the bumper of a Mercedes lol
