Well Gunman I've bought both and thanks to Spraygunsdirect for the speedy delivery to Australia and a very BIG thanks to you Gunman for making all of the videos and taking the time to put them up on CZcams thanks mate
Love the videos, purchased a gti pro light from sprayguns direct after watching your earlier videos and I have learnt a lot from you, as I'm just a diy guy, just purchased a sri pro light for wheels and spot repair, as I was so happy with the gti but I haven't used it yet, keep up the good work fella
absolutely love my Sri, I find its really forgiving and the finish is brilliant. actually prefer it To my gti pro lite
For form factor, quality built and parts, the Devilbiss is a best minigun, ANI is a none competitive gun and professionnal precision edge cut.
been wanting one of these for while glad to see a review. . Your onions are greatly appreciated. Nothing worse then a blind purchase on a new gun only to find its not what you thought. Thanks gunman
Just picked up a tekna prolite per your suggestion and love it. I use ppg dbc and usually spray with iwata supernovas. i have been having trouble with graininess with heavy pearl colors and so far the prolight has taking care of all of that. i will be picking up an sri soon to give it a go. thanks for the informative videos man cheers!
I love this gun so much. I'm actually from Toledo and that's where devillibis started and I'm stoked I got my hands on this. love your vids man always amazing information
I bought a SRI Pro lite off a retailer (im not blaming them at all) but when i received the gun the plastic cup had cracks around where it met the metal gromet. Not something is expect from a higher end gun but an email to DeVilBiss and they sent me a new one for free. Also on first use the smaller cleaning brush handle broke
Hey Gunman, I just bought this gun after watching a lot of videos. I really appreciate your content, it’s definitely the best spray gun content out there.
It’s my first gun, going to try and repair my own cracked bumper and paint it. Wish me luck.
I’m also thinking I’ll paint up some of my other stuff with some cool colours too.
Thanks!

AWESOME.... you are a true professional... thank you also for not cursing in your video s..
learning alot
i got my A.N.I. R150 last month bc of your review... and in have 2 devilbiss guns.. flg5 and Nebula.. r150 its a great gun with hi end result... great review!!.. keep it real always mate..
Hey I also want to give a big thank you to Chris at Spraygunsdirect.co.uk for his knowledge and patience with an amateur like myself! Even though I live in the US I will buy my gun (most likely the Devilbiss SRI Pro Lite) from Chris! Thank you for pointing me in that direction Gunman! I would have jumped on the ANI awhile back but my business is now opening in the UK and I've been focused on biz details!
That's exactly why I continue the partnership with them, they are a good bunch of people to work with and have a good knowledge of their products.
Thanks for another great video gunman, I quite like the idea of the devilbiss for the different aircaps
Yes that's definitely a stand out point.
Another great review. Personally, I just invested in the ANI R150. First real experience of a gun that can perform with the more expensive units. I'm really happy with what I have experienced so far. I have an old DeVilbiss FLG3 that I will relegate to primer duties... now just a case of saving up for a GTI Pro Lite then I'll have what I think is a great combo!
Thanks mate!!!
Gunman thank you for this review! I have been waiting for you to do this to see your professional opinion! I was leaning toward the ANI but I believe I will cough up the extra for the Gold! Hope you're doing well mate!
I did buy this gun, 330e. (in Finland). I pay about 15e/month, i think it is so low price, that even poor guy may buy this..
I got the sri pro lite. I wanted to have a top quality gun and man it sprays awesome 💪
Love your videos buddy, on your review I bought a full size GTI Pro, with a TE 10 and TE 20 air caps, love it, a dream to paint with, thanks dude keep up the good work, I’ve plugged you in my Twitch Stream, daily streams from my shop 👍
I'll pay the postage to Japan,thanks for the great content bloke .Always bang on.
for my money the r150 is the way to go. i think 120 canadian dollars is about the best bang for your buck. especially if it's a gun I would use only 4-5 times a week.
I bought a Devilbiss Tekna prolite steampunk edition and ANI r150. Love them both especially the prolite😀
sorry gunman I have been caught up with watching the Mr T show which is the media circus of the century, so back to the gunman channel, always good to learn a bit more, I sprayed my Nissan Navara recently my first whole car spray job,, on your recommendation bought a DeVilBiss on Ebay, its a lovely gun works a dream, I would like to fill my filing cabinet with more of them. and I would take the SRI pro over the R150 as its a lot higher quality and versatile, been there done that with cheaper products, thanks.
Feels like forever since the last upload :) I'm hooked, it seems :) Plus...Devilbiss owe you big time. I'm now lusting a whole bunch of their products when previously a crappy gun would have been my purchase. Now I want a SRI, PRI and a GTI! Ha! Love your vids...*NEVER STOP!*
definite lean towards the ani for price and quality ratio
thanks for the video
from a Hobibyist
Best bang for ya buck.
I've got the Sri pro lite and ani r150, the fan and build quality is alot better on the devilbiss, the ani doesn't feel as smooth to use.
I became a fan off DeVilbiss, So i would save up My money to buy a sri pro lite.
That's why i bought a sri pro out off the from someome who eventually bever used it. :-)
I bought the Devilbiss Sri Mini Lite Pro at Christmas but it's fitted with a 1.4 nozzle ( I believe the needle and cap does 1.2 & 1.4) I am applying base-coat metallic to motorcycle tanks. Do you think I need the 1.2 tip instead of the 1.4 please?
Great review i got the DeVilbiss and so far i love it
Yes do a Warwick spray gun Please
Could you get a 3m accuspray and do a review on it? The kit number is 16580 and you're able to shoot everything from high build to clear coat with it and it's about $200. I use it but I am not a full time painted by any means but get really good results with it, I would love your opinion
I have wanted one of them for a while, one day mate.
Cant wait for the mini gun review !
I will take my time on the top 8 vid, so I have a real feel for which ones are the best. I really just wanted to show everyone my new gun when I made this vid haha.
hello how much a compressor needs to have a liter to work nicely devilbis
Is it worth upgrading to this from my SRI Pro with HS1 1.0.. to a 1.2 for smart repair and doing full panels, my fluid tips bent and my needle is worn and I fancy going Te5, The price to get those 3 items is nearly the price of a new gun.
Man I need a minigun so bad. I'd rather spend more on the Pro lite.
Awesome stuff, been looking forward to a mini-gun review / comparison. Only thing I could suggest after watching a couple of these is hear how they compare finish wise, off the gun. Or how they atomise the clear. I'm guessing the TE5 air cap must be similar to the T110 air cap on the GTi Pro Lite. How does it compare finish wise.
Gunman,,which gun do you say is better the Ani 150,Sri pro lite,or the Sata 4400 mini gun?
already bought ANI on your recommendation.. can't fault it
Here is a question... so small tip sizes are for small jobs... however paint TDS booklets say minimum tip size of x... being something much bigger than the 0.8 or even 1.0. Does that mean you simply can't spray those paints? Or it will just not be a lot of material? I can't imagine spraying 2k primer out of a 1.0 tip... I want a gun that has a very small fan pattern but can handle regular solvent based car paints.
These guns definitely can spray anything you put in it, it's more about viscosity, you may find you need to add some reducer. You also may find the smaller tip size lays the metallic slightly different, that's probably why they recommend 1.2 or above, I bet it's more for colour match than whether or not you can physically spray the fluid through it.
@@TheGunmanChannel Thats interesting. The paints i'm referring to are primers and stuff though... but if you can spray metallic through them I guess that means it should be okay. I do not spray cars much.. and when I do it is only my old rust bucket car. Do I need to spring for an SRI? Or should I buy one of the discontinued model detail guns with the blue parts on it? My local dealer is recommending I just get an FLG4 before you can't anymore. It seems like its too much fan for me!
@gunman, does it approach the T110 aircap orange peel wise or is that aircap still the smoothness champion.
ANI spray guns I could not find in the U.S. a few months ago.
I need a new mini gun.
Is it Devilblis or Sata that the needle/air cap sizes run large?
How do you deal with the parking sensor. Was told that additional paint film build would cause problems?
Thank you
Does the new Devilbiss SRi Pro Lite have a Low volume cap spray? Spraygunsdirect lists a TE5 high efficiency cap, will that work for my smaller compressor. 2hp 4.6 gallon 6.3cfm at 40 psi. I mostly will use this for woodworking spraying cabinets, doors moulding etc. I already have a Titan airless Ed-655 diaghram pump sprayer it shoots at 2300psi and is my latex gun for water base acrylics. I’m looking for a sprayer that will do smaller jobs and finer finishes. You spelled out the reasons for this gun over the ANI R-150. Interchangeable caps. I was also watching the top 8 mini gun video and the ani seemed to have a little less paint transfer efficiency and the SRI looks like it’s a more consistent fan with better atomization...
I wonder what is "lite" about this new minigun, it looks exactly like the older SRI Pro? (except for the color)
I thought the same thing myself.
hi gunman , I am thinking of purchasing this gun for my dads birthday and I want to know what fluid tip size to get with it if he is just going to be using it for clear lacquer 0.8 /1.0 1.2 /1.4 or 0.6
Thanks for the vids dude, very useful but I still can't make a decision. I'm looking for a gun to paint musical instruments (mainly guitars), mostly high quality high gloss clear coats but may want to do sunburst which would require fine atomisation I think. I have a medium sized compressor. I was thinking about a GTI Pro Lite with T110 and 1.3, but watching this I think the SRI may be be better suited. I'm never going to do anything the size of a car, maybe a fence but can get a cheap for that. Interested in your opinion.
I have i Devilbiss sri pro mini. I use it for painting Carbon bicycle frames. What is a good setting for base coat and clear coat for such small parts?
What would you recommend for a good epoxy primer gun ?
hey gunman, are the aircaps interchangable with the standard sri pro? cheers
How does this compare with the SATA minijet 440? I'm looking at both these and also still maybe considering saving some money and going for the ANI r150. I will probably only be painting motorbike parts so don't think I will need to invest in a full size gun hence why I am thinking of spending a bit more on a mini gun.
Definitely get a mini gun if that's all you want to paint. SATA is the best of the three but best bang for your buck is easily the ani, I use mine daily and it never misses a beat, the pot is its only let down, but if you don't use it daily then it may not be a big deal.
ANIR 150 for me!
Can't wait for the give away 👌More than happy to pay p&p
Good work keep it up 👍
What presure work ? Thanks
excellent Devilvis
I have a dumb question, What determines what the differences are between mini gun and a full sized gun, for instance the Sri and the GTI Pro lite?
It's all in the size of the air cap. The mini and midi guns have a much smaller air cap than their big brothers.
Thanks, I think I would buy the sr 150 as I am a hobbyist and wouldn't get my moneys worth.I just purchased the GFG Pro and am hoping to get good results with it. Wish you did a review on that as it is an affordable hobbyist gun. Thanks Gunman !
@@carylamari6546 isn't GFG a Chinese replica of the gti pro?
@@DanchoINC Dancho I have a couple GFG, my first I bought about 15 years ago. the GFG is just a base industrial use line I use mine for primers mostly. It is an old gun. The Chinese have copied several lines of Devilbiss and yes the GFG is one of the lines. The Chinese gun isn't a bad gun until you need new seals and O rings. The Parts for a real Devilbiss do not fit the fake guns.
Do you think the 1.2 tip would work for small items like wheels cycle tanks etc... or better to go with the 1.0 if most of what I'll do is small stuff and maybe some furniture
I would still go with the 1.2, you can wind the fluid in but it won't be too choked up if you do need it to smash it on a larger area. Chris said the 1.2 is the most popular and their recommended setup.
Great vid, can a full size cup be used on the Sri pro thanks
I would love to try one of these. I have the SRI Pro, which is the purple gun. I wonder if its just the weight that is different? Its tough to keep up with all these guns. lol
From what I can gather they would be the same, they look the same but just different colour.
Nice comparison. You do have the 1.0 nozzle in the ANI, if I remember right? Is there any specific reason you did get a 1.0 in the ANI and a 1.2 in the SRi? I am planning to buy the 1.0 ANI R150 mini gun as my full size Devilbiss is a 1.3 and a 1.4.
I actually have both 1.2 and 1.0 R150 and I find myself using the 1.2 more often.
thank you
Excellent, I love the videos
do you open your air valve knob all the way on your gti pro lit?
good review
Would the SRi Pro lite micro with the 0.6 tip be good for automotive airbrush style shading and similar effects using candies?
I would say so, it's obviously not going to be as precise as an airbrush though
Ive been looking at the Iwata LPH80.
My review will be up on Friday of the LPH-80
Gunman,,when will you be having your (mini gun)give away..??
Would you have any clue what size adapter you would need to use the 3m pps 2.0 cups?
From memory it was S14 PPS2 adaptor
would a 200ltr compressor with 9.1 cfm be enough to run a normal size devilbiss gti pro ? to respray a car bit by bit in my garage
To be honest I've always had the luxury of having a big compressor so I don't look into guns required CFM that often but if you look on the DeVilbiss website, all that tech info should be available. If air is an issue then go for LVLP air caps like TE10 or T110, they have smaller air holes so they consume less air.
The Gunman thanks a million for the reply love your videos man
nice
nice....
Devilbiss all the way
Wet bed, base coat blender at 3:12 min , i don't understand ? What it does to the second base coat ? i only know sealers before the base coats. What kind of blender ?
Frank Beaulieu the wet bet is used for the blending of the basecoat to get a smooth finish
Yes, it basically just fills in the sanding scratches from your prep work, it will stop scratches showing through and hide the blend. It's basically just clear basecoat, every paint system has a similar product but this is Standox 599 1:1 with reducer.
+The Gunman Cool buddy thanks ! btw nice paint booth downdraft !
Kristof Kelly Thanks !
una pena que no seas español por que eres un gran profesional
You mentioned people selling fake guns, can you recommend links or places to find some nice guns? Maybe the places that send you samples can send you some sort of discount pricing for your followers?👍🏽
This is where I get mine, they will throw in a cleaning kit if you mention I sent you in an email. Maybe no discount but they already have some of the best prices out.
spraygunsdirect.co.uk
The Gunman Awesome! Thanks gunny! Keep up the great work, really loving the videos. Watching you paint is like watching a true Picasso 👍🏽
Hi, were you running that spraygun at 4 bar?
Hi! Gunny did mention that, For SRI, over 2 bar is too much. The ANI is "HPS", may be "high pressure system", or some like that, but requires more than 2 bar.. : )
Have you ever thought about opening your own shop again?
I have thought about it but I really am happy where I am, good crew, decent pay, holiday & sick pay, work on nice cars and the hours are great. These days the beaters are a bit behind because a few left so I'm just doing 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM so I have a lot of time on my hands to make vids and just relax. My ex-business partner is doing well which is good but he loves working on the old cars, after a year of it I just craved smashing out the insurance work.
A lot to be said for time off too. Running a business takes time, more than most people think, along with the responsibility of the bills I guess.
Julian P. Exactly, I also like being able to switch off, I get to go home without being hassled by customers and stressing out about whatever it may be that day. All in all we did quite well but for now I'm just happy on wages.
Gunman which is best pistol
+Şakir Koç watch my top 8 mini gun review👌🎨
aaaawsome...
oi sou de natal rn , brasil gosto muito dos seus videos muito bons, tambem sou colorista trabalho com formulação de cores a 10 anos.
Gunman need advice on which spray guns to get. I'm starting back in the trade after 11 years out and need advice on on guns and set up. I need a primer gun, water base coat gun and a lacquer gun just to get me started thank you. If anyone else could advise it would be much appreciated.
Whats your budget and what water system you using?
I was thinking around £600-£700 for the lot but I could stretch that a little they use the standox water base system. I was thinking the devilbiss gti pro lite with a t110 and 1.3 tip for the final coat but stuck with the others.
Standoblue is the same as the Cromax Pro I used to use, I struggled with it a little on silvers for a while until I started using the TE10 1.3 on my GTI Pro or lite so I would recommend that for your base, I find I don't use the T110 that much unless I want a full glass finish but minimal material.
If you are using Standox there's a good chance they use HS or VOC clears and they are thick, I find the TE20 1.3 ideal for those clears.
You'd most likely want another gun for stuff like plastic primer, basecoat blender, 2nd colours etc so I do highly recommend the ANI F150, it's not quite up there with the DeVilbiss but ideal for what I call a "helper gun", not your go to for clear or base but there if you need an extra.
A good option for a primer gun would be an Airgunsa AZ3 1.8 or 2.0 and they are reasonably cheap.
That would be about in your budget to get all 4 of them. If you have any change I'd get one of those ANI R150 mini/midi guns in 1.2 for spot repairs etc.
Another person may give different advice but I think that'd definitely get you back into it.
The Gunman that's great thank you so much for your help. And thank you for your videos because they helped so much for my skills test for my new job.
nice video
