I’m glad I found your video , I’ve been watching The Gunman videos for years now and I know he really likes this gun. It’s always looked like it delivered a quality finish and I’m keen on getting one , seeing your results just gives it further confirmation that it’s a great gun
after watching the gunmans video's, i decided to get myself one of these guns and your video has pretty much confirmed how good they are. nice video and a nicer paint booth. subscribed.
Awesome channel, you can be really big if you post more content on a regular basis....you're explanation is very thorough, and your comparisons are extremely helpful. One idea would be to get your input on a comparison/review on Sagola vs Iwata vs Devilbiss vs Sata would make a great video topic ---- thanks!
Thanks for the link. They provide spare parts and different needle and nozzles for these guns that I have been looking for. Out of stock, but I can wait.
Awesome video, I like the setup you have in your shop, what kind of paint booth are you spraying in? Devilbiss definitely makes good sprayguns I enjoy using different guns from different company’s i might use 3 different brands on a bumper job, to many good guns to only stick with one ! I spray sikkens autowave and love the superior 250 clear! Thanks again!
very good video. I see you have a variety of spray guns. since you have had the opportunity to try them all, how do you compare the finish of the flg5? compared to sata, iwata tekna. Do you think that with a good technique when painting you can get finishes similar to what quality is concerned or is it very far?
I'm not a professional painter and cant really afford two of these, so I'm thinking in getting just one of these FLG5s. Would I be able to use the 1.3 tip for basecoat as well? Not sure if I get the 1.4 or 1.3 for everything clear and base. Thanks in advance
Looking at this gun too, I just have cheap guns now. I am wondering, is this gun just for clear? I am also interested in in paint. Or should one use a gun with just clear and one for paint?
I got a devilbiss flg 1.8mm for primer as i recently switched from walcom to the 3 devilbis dv1 guns. I just do not like the flg at all for high build primer weather with the 1.8mm or 2.0mm in it. I think i will try the iwata kiwami 4 1.8mm for primer
I've heard some say the Kiwami4 1.8 is ok but not great for primer. Just a heads up. Petes Hobbies did a vid on it. I use the 1.8 Flg5 for primer with no issues but I don't have much experience with superior primer guns. Cheers
I know flg 5 is the best when it comes to price and finishing, is iwata ws400 supernova 1.3 lays clear more flat than flg5. I got flg5 but I am after more flat finish
Good afternoon, where did you buy this gun? Really good looking clear job. The paint work is hospital clean. Thanks for the information. Take care and good luck.
Sir can you share the PPS 2.0 adapter code. I ordered one from spraygunsdirect, but the adapter that came is not compatible with pps 2.0 and I am having hard time to find it in the 3m bulletin.
@@kes71 S3 is what spraygunsdirect sent me s15 is what The Gunman recomended me, they both work. It seems in UK they still on the older version, i contacted spraygundirect and they made everything right free of charge. it just seem that they dont have the big ass customer service department, so it might take a lil time to get your voice heard, but most likely you wont get ignored
What's that little blue washer thing that comes in the cup? You can see it briefly at 1:22. I've get this gun today but haven't a clue what that's for.
@Do One thanks very much for those long explanations! I'm going to try fit it next time I use it. I'm not a pro but I have 1.8mm for primer and 1.4mm for top coat and clear. This gun is so good though it makes me look half decent.
Great vid, my FLG5 leaks and it looks like it comes from the packing nut, any ideas on how to fix it? tried slightly tightning etc but it binds the needle
They sell spray guns based on a) looks and b) reputation. Almost none of the brands make the products themselves, the "clones" you find from China/Korea are often the exact product made in the same factory just unbranded. Not surprising at all that a bland looking gun is cheaper but still sprays better than a nicer looking gun even when "from" the same brand.
None of that is true. Counterfeit guns are usually made with inferior materials and only last a couple of uses. You can have problems with the body of the gun being painted instead of anodised, and the paint comes off when cleaning. The finish of the internals of the fake guns is inferior, same with the air caps. They never perform like the real thing. You can buy lower priced guns that perform better than a counterfeit gun, and they can cost less than the fake.
Would this be a good gun to spray a single stage 2k for a beginner. Would it spray a surfacer/primer OK or would it really need a 1.8 tip? Cheers for your great vids
this will do everything except the primers unless you buy the 1.8 too that what I did the 2 guns with 3 tips 1.3 1.4 and 1.8 the 1.8 is only for flakes and primers but you can get away with a cheap primer gun you sand the surfacer anyway
Gunman this good question to be telling us Americans like me ha. Humm got a flg gun that is new that has all the models fluid tips and needles 1.3 1.4 1.8 mm all in one kit called flg on the summit racing site. But it doesnt come with the FLG-1-5-K part flg5 aircap like yours. Soooo how do I find this part I know not in the states. Should I spray my car without this aircap with what's on the flg gun now? I rather wait to find the flg5 aircap. Where's the best place to find it for American dollars online? And this American Devilbiss just the same gun it's from the UK and it's everything the same but the air cap is different called a flg693 how come? This air cap is not the better aircap the American version of the Devilbiss idk? Please comment to help me or make a new video everyone wants to know this. And where's a good place on I could find the cap to send to America? thanks 👍☺️ gunman!
unsure if yours is flg 5 flgy 5 is conventional or transtech the 693 is hvlp looking at the airholes in the cap I personally will not buy hvlp the body looks the same hopefully you can order the cap from sprayguns direct and it will fit
I don't know about "never", but a smaller tip does help atomize though you'll need to increase the pressure. The FLG5 definitely has the pressure to bust up thicker paints unlike LVLP caps
Any expensive gun will do the job.Thats holly true.Guns comparisons are just losing of time.I have gti pro lite its no better than flg 5 except build quality
Hey thanks for the mention, just seeing this video now. I love my FLG5s.
very interested to see a comparison between the 1.3 and 1.4 fluid tips especially for spraying in lower temperatures
@Do One so.....? why are you wasting my time 6 months later with your little opinion
I’m glad I found your video , I’ve been watching The Gunman videos for years now and I know he really likes this gun. It’s always looked like it delivered a quality finish and I’m keen on getting one , seeing your results just gives it further confirmation that it’s a great gun
Love how clean the booth looks. I’ve been waiting on this gun just because I don’t need it but I think I’m going to get it

Your shop and tools are super tidy and clean! Wow. I am an FLG5 owner too ;) Cheers from Hungary!
Thanks for the vid! Just got my FLG-5 today. Going to paint my 1199 Ducati Panigale with it. My first paint job ever! Wish me luck!

Very good descriptive narration. Nice review
Thanks for the link. They provide spare parts and different needle and nozzles for these guns that I have been looking for. Out of stock, but I can wait.
Those are some pretty strong words of approval for a fairly cheap gun...great. now I want one....
Have one long time now works Very good 🙏

Very nice job amigo
Nice review! is that S15 3M PPS adapter you are using for this particular gun? if not, what is it?
Good job my friend
Just so you know... there's also a 1.3 needle that works with the 1.4 nozzle, which is advertised as a 1.3/1.4 nozzle
The 1.3 wasn’t available when the video was made.
Whats difference in thin clear and thick clear. You mix thick or thin? Or brand? Thanks
Nice job
Just wondering if you reduced the clear coat because you said it kinda thick?
Im with you.. i prefer a nice flat paint lay... Not into the whole factory orange peel...
I personally think all cars should come FLAT :)
I'm not a professional painter and cant really afford two of these, so I'm thinking in getting just one of these FLG5s. Would I be able to use the 1.3 tip for basecoat as well? Not sure if I get the 1.4 or 1.3 for everything clear and base. Thanks in advance

Whats the difference in the FLG 5 and the FLG 693?
Content not too long. Just right. But please add required CFM/PSI specs, for each gun used 👀👍
would be nice to kknow which tips and knozzles your using
What kind of compressor do you run?
WHAT GUN SETTINGS DID YOU SET THE GUN AT; FAN-FLUID/ETC; LOOKS LIKE A GREAT GUN !! THANK YOU, PATRICK.P
I like mine 1.4 epoxy, single stage, base clear 💥 you can buy a 2.0 nozzle needle separately 💥
can you post a link for the gun and extra nozzles? ty
3M adaptor series 2.0 model number for this FLG5 anyone know at all?
Also a 1.3 tip available now...

Please review iwata ws400
I got a devilbiss flg 1.8mm for primer as i recently switched from walcom to the 3 devilbis dv1 guns. I just do not like the flg at all for high build primer weather with the 1.8mm or 2.0mm in it. I think i will try the iwata kiwami 4 1.8mm for primer

I think the FLG5 is now available in a 1.3 fluid tip.
It is, I just got mine. It's absolutely incredible especially for the price.
It is I have 2 flg 5s an just got the 1.3 so as to complete the tip set havent tried it yet lol
1.3 1.4 1.8 and 2.0 the 1.3 and 1.4 share the same needle the 1.8 and 2.0 do not
I know flg 5 is the best when it comes to price and finishing, is iwata ws400 supernova 1.3 lays clear more flat than flg5. I got flg5 but I am after more flat finish
flatness is more the painter and air pressure either will lay a glass finish
Good afternoon, where did you buy this gun? Really good looking clear job. The paint work is hospital clean. Thanks for the information. Take care and good luck.
I got mine from spraygunsdirect.co.uk. Great pricing.
Anyone ever use the Master Pro 88?
IF I dont get at least 1 run I must not be trying......I am the same way.....
Btw, will subscribe 👍 TYVM 💯

Same for me it seems like spraygunsdirect, only do the adaptor for the older version pps, did you have any luck getting an adaptor?

@Do One So it sits in the lip of the strainer inside the cup? I don't fully understand what you mean. Thanks.
@Do One thanks very much for those long explanations! I'm going to try fit it next time I use it. I'm not a pro but I have 1.8mm for primer and 1.4mm for top coat and clear. This gun is so good though it makes me look half decent.
Great vid, my FLG5 leaks and it looks like it comes from the packing nut, any ideas on how to fix it? tried slightly tightning etc but it binds the needle
It might have gotten boogered up during reassembly or initial assembly, but parts are pretty accessible. I would suggest ordering a new part.
@@bosshawg7427 I did order a new kit and that sorted it
@@ZippyPenguinTribute awesome. Gotta luv the FLG5

I see the FLG all over the place, but not the FLG5. Do you know what the difference is?
The 693 air cap isn't transtech. It's a HVLP. To get the transtech air cap, order from spray guns direct
Would this be a good gun to spray a single stage 2k for a beginner. Would it spray a surfacer/primer OK or would it really need a 1.8 tip?
Cheers for your great vids
Great gun for that, for primer just drill out the tip of a purple HF gun. I run epoxy, single stage and clear with flg5
If you have 1.8mm tip, you can lay More paint to object and less thinner.
this will do everything except the primers unless you buy the 1.8 too that what I did the 2 guns with 3 tips 1.3 1.4 and 1.8 the 1.8 is only for flakes and primers but you can get away with a cheap primer gun you sand the surfacer anyway

I wanna tell you something
Sata 1.2 is not 1.2 it's 1.4
You can take off and measure
BR from Vienna
Yeah,what ever but I love my sata
What cup size adapter did you put on?
3M PPS S15 26046 😎
If this model was available in 1.2 it would be an excellent high solids clear gun. You will never break up thick product with 1.4.
1.3 now released why would a 1.2 be better than 1.4 if its thick product?
@@PnwOnTour I was thinking the same
I don't know about "never", but a smaller tip does help atomize though you'll need to increase the pressure. The FLG5 definitely has the pressure to bust up thicker paints unlike LVLP caps
Which 3M PPS 2.0 adapter are you using with DeVilbiss FLG5?
Which clear exactly r u using?? I want a flat finish haha
UPOL UP 2801 2:1 clearcoat - cheap clear for a cheap gun! With a large 1.4 tip that this gun has, a thicker clearcoat works well
@@completeconcepts awesome thank you!
Is this gun hvlp or lvlp?
this gun is in between conventional conventional is a better finish with less effort than hvlp I will only own conventional or lvlp
What's the CFM???
9.8
Cannot buy in US?
Sure you can, I just bought one. It was $158 USD which included shipping.
Sprayguns direct. I just bought 2 in Canada. And they don't sell them here
Any expensive gun will do the job.Thats holly true.Guns comparisons are just losing of time.I have gti pro lite its no better than flg 5 except build quality
Better set up than the gunman, he must be envious lol!!
Why are you panel painting a panel? Lol
Just don’t buy it from Sprayguns Direct they like to rip Ausie spray painters off on postage and then flat out lie to you . Buyer beware !
I buy from them lots in Canada and have never had a problem was surprised to see your comment
