See, i have the 0.7mm/0.9mm version of the DV1S because of the cerakoting i do, which comes with M1 micro cap. The fan just doesn't open up wide at all. I recently got the S1 cap and a 1.2mm nozzle and i really like it for smart repair and painting benchrifle stocks. Especially with clear coat. I liked my walcom ego190 hte better, but it only lasted 15 months, which got used almost 7 days a week. Now, after getting the s1 cap, i like it as good if not better than the ego190 while the ego190 was in working condition. Both atomize very well with clear and spray cerakote amazingly with 0.7mm nozzles. DV1 also is built so solid with no gasket in between the nozzle and frame like older devilbiss have which i like they got rid of that gasket.
Hi Buddy, They still use a gasket between the baffle and body on the DV1. The difference now is that it's under the two small screws in the baffle, so very rarely needs to be removed.
Another mini i am going to try is the porphis prd-51 mini that is available in 0.8mm for cerakote. Since i got the prd-715 1.3mm and PHS-155 1.8mm for primer just to try and use them more than both my DV1-B and DV1-C now. I feel for $200 that prd-51 is worth trying
I have the PRD 510 in 1.0. It's a good gun. the biggest drawback for some will be its full size, so it's quite big for its output, other than that it's very good.
Porphis are working on a good quality mini gun, so small size mini. It was originally due in April but is held up, presumably while they get it right. Cheers, mate 👍
i brought one of gf3's and you have to respect they are what they are, (i use mine on small easy to polish areas at work) they do leave quite a peel compared to the dv1s, but i found winding the needle right in and cranking up that air pressure you can get a better finish also go round the job slower with less paint coming out. as much as i do like the dv1s that ive used a good couple times ( i dont own one) i think its very comparable to the Ani R160 1.2 although i might be bias i love my R160 and the finish from it its flawless (i do run it at 4bar). great video by the way.
Hi Mitch, for the money they do work well, your right in that the R160 and the GF3 both need a fair bit if pressure.
My main reason for doing these videos with the cheap guns is the hope people will see them and pick one up inside of spray can's, it just so much better and gives you loads more flexibility with the materials you use, thanks for watching mate, much appreciated 👍
You always give me the best answers..!!
Thank you, buddy 👍
Hi Pete as you know its all in the operator , we can get a similar paint job with both guns. Cheers
Hi mate, hope all is well, summers on it's way for you so should make the job a bit easier, your right, it's very much down to the person behind the gun, cheers 👍
Hi Pete, The DV1S is not that bad price wise when you consider it is only $50 more expensive (not 60% anymore) than a prolite s, but comes with a gauge and a second tip.
Hi Ken, I guess it depends where you are. Yes, you get a tip, but in Europe, we don't get a gauge .
Having said that, the price of the Pro Lite S has gone up a bit and the DV1S has stayed the same.
You can normally get a good price on the Pro lite S but not on the DV1S, so they are often around 80GBP more expensive, so around 110 USD, but I completely take your point, there's not much in it any more 👍
@@peteshobbies5383 Yes, the DV1S best price is around $400 U.S. with Painting tools Japan on ebay, so I assume a bit less direct, whereas the Prolite-S is just over $350 with Spray Guns direct. Best prices I found for both.
@@peteshobbies5383 Pete, you're a terrible influence. I picked up a DV1-s wih S1 cap (I went back and forth over s1,s2) from painting tools japan. Two tips, guage and cup for $377 delivered (well, assuming customs don't add anything on). It's not terribly expensive for a good quality gun at tha price.
@kenc4104 That sounds like a great deal. It's got me thinking now, I really want the 0.7 and 0.9 setup for the DV1S. Now, who's the bad influence? 🤔 🤣
@@peteshobbies5383 Ha Ha. They said "special deal till August 11th" but who knows, sales people always say that kind of thing. Anyway, with all the business you've thrown their way you should be a "special customer"
That’s a nice comparison you can see a slight difference but not much really, I used my GF3 at 2bar which would have helped it atomise better if I used it at the 3.5 bar instead good little gun for the money I must admit.
Yes, they do like pressure, only need 2.5 or so for base but likes pressure for clear, depending on the clear of course 👍
To be honest i don't think you could tell it was painted with a 30 pound gun! Great finish 👏
My boss still paints with an original devilbiss gti 1.4 and it still creates a beautiful finish.
I think it's about knowing how to make your gun perform, but you are correct the top end guns do lay paint superbly even if the painter is not that experienced.
Cheers Terry, I try and champion this little ANI as it performs well and is so much better than spray cans, hopefully, it gives people an idea of the finish you can get from a £30 gun 👍
My original gti with the 1.4 t110 gave me incredible results but unfortunately the fluid cap has taken a knock at the end and now sprays in a c shaped pattern. Upgraded to the iwata w400 evo but still getting used to it atm.
Hi Fraser, yes, the T110 is quite famous for it's flat finish although i find the 1 2 is the best although it's slower.
When you think of how old that gun is now, given it sprays the same as the Gti Pro it quite remarkable how well it does in the company of the modern stuff, cheers mate 👍
With it mainly being cars and car panels I do iv stayed with the bigger tips as worried about being there all day. I did get the r160 in a 1.2 for my bikes and wheels I get in. Only done a set of multi spoke o.z wheels with it so far but it seemed pretty good. Got a tr1 bike tank and panels to do this week with it so will see how it gets on.
DV1 all day long mate that's a quality gun as a painter you can see a much better performance 👍👍
Hi Dean, yes, it does perform better and is easier to use, I think the little GF3 is great for the money and so much better than a spray can so hopefully people will see you don't have to spend loads to get reasonable results, cheers mate 👍
Brilliant 💯👍
Thank you mate, much appreciated 👍
does the GF3 have that teflon gasket like the R series? many thanks , top presentation
Hi mate, yes, quite a few parts in the service kit are interchangeable including the seals, the material quality of the tip and cap is not as good as the R or the finish of the body but for the money, they are really good
Hi Pete, that was an interesting comparison this is why I love your videos as most people would compare like for like but these videos really give you a good idea of what the difference is between a top end and a budget gun which apart from the obvious build quality is not a huge cavernous difference.
You can see in the video that the DV1S performs better and is easier to use and that it has a better fan pattern, looking at this a different way which would last longer, one DV1S or 13 ANI GF3 guns which I think come out at around the same price, I wouldn't like to call it tbh🤔🤷♂
As you know I have the DV1S but I still say it's not really worth the asking price even though I won mine😎(sorry Pete had to get that in AGAIN!!!😆) You can see at the end that the GF3 gives a little more peel than the DV1 but it's not 13 times worse, ok I better shut up as I'm rambling again😁cheers Pete🙏👍
Hi John, yes, there is a difference but it's only small, the ANI is perfectly acceptable.
I do these hoping that someone will see it, well, at least one person has, you 😂, but to see it and realise that with relatively little money there is a real alternative to spray can's, not for one-off jobs of course but if people have a bit to do then it's so much more flexible, anyway mate, glad someone watched it 😉 😀 👍
TBH mate I think anything is better than rattle cans, I have used them and even sprayed a complete wing a few years back on one of Sonia's cars done the primer base and 1K clear with them but never again!🙈😂
I think for someone starting out buying three GF3 guns and modifying one as you did to use for high build by drilling the tip out you would then have a primer, base and clear gun for under £100, I might even sell all my posh guns and do just that!🤔😲😆
For under 30 quid it's worth giving one a go although I'd keep your posh stuff if i were you 😉
what curing lamp do you use. been looking to invest in some for the upcoming winter
Hi buddy, I use these ones,

Is that the same gun 🔫 as me the Ani mini spray gun pete nice video 📹 by the way
Hi Andrew, this is the cheap ANI gun, it sells for under £30, it's really good value 👍
@@peteshobbies5383 sorry 😞 mate I have the Ani 160 Q keep forgetting
Will the ANI GF3 run with 4.4 FAD Pete?
Hi Mark, it depends on what pressure you use it at, but ANI say 2.8 cfm at 1 bar up to 7.9 cfm at 4 bar, I don't normally go up to 4 bar but 3.5 bar is often needed for clear which would be around 7 cfm
@Pete's Hobbies Thanks Pete, I'm so frustrated as bought a 50l comp yesterday at 11.4 cfm, but then realised it only has 4.4 FAD. I'm trying to move from rattle cans and trying to set myself up for the odd smart repair on my car and wife's car but finding the jump so confusing. I know the process of bodywork repair but have always wanted to move away from rattle cans. Really enjoying your videos BTW. Thanks
The normal rule of thumb is around 60% for free air delivery, so a stated 11.4 cfm should give more than 4.4 cfm fad.
It really depends on how much you have to do. If it's just a panel at a time, you will be fine. It will take around 25 seconds for the compressor tank to click in for more air on a 50L tank and you can do loads in that time, then you can still carry on but you air supply will slowly drop, my guess is you would get around 1 minute of pressure, you can do a lot in that time.
Get yourself a regulator with a diaphragm. This will even out the pressure at the gun so you won't get air pressure drop off as the tank runs down
@Pete's Hobbies Thanks Pete, I was very surprised at this comp (Draper Stormforce 81710). Having 4.4 from 11.4 is only 35% efficiency!!!!. I think I will go for the ANI GF3 as a start. Would you recommend a 8mm-10mm ID airline with 1/4 fittings?
8mm should be fine, if you using Euro fast couplings they are around 8mm so there's no need for bigger, that's what I have and run some pretty air hungry guns without problems
