My new SATAjet 5000B-RP Digital 1.3mm is an awesome Spray Gun with a massive fan that measures 18cm or 7″ at 5cm or 2″ distance. The previous models to this gun didn’t impress me but SATA are onto a winner with the 5000. They are an expensive tool and I do know that everyone can’t afford around $1,000 for a spray gun but for a professional who uses a gun every day then it’s not a waste of money. Like all my reviews they are independent and I have nothing to gain by leading you in the wrong direction as to which tools are good or not, I’m not trying to sell you a product so when I say I like a Spray Gun then it’s because in the real world I can get good results with it.
I will be demonstrating using clear coat on my office desk that we did some custom painting & airbrushing on, I will also demonstrate how to use matte clear on a fuel tank I painted.

Hello have a question, i have watched you gun comparison videos, they are great, on one video you are spraying clear with the 5000 RP and talking about PSI at about 1.3 to 1.4 Bar so about 19 PSI, on another video you are showing the 5000 RP and in the background there is text and it says to spray at 30 PSI. SATA tells me to spray at 2 bar but i think that is to meet regulation. Do you have an all around starting point for base and clear? I have been spraying at 30 PSI for most jobs but do find it goes through the paint really fast. When i say you spraying at 1.3 bar i was curious on how that worked for you.
I to have been trying to figure out what pressure people are spraying with on these guns. I hear anywhere from 15-20 psi, but that seems really low. when I spray with that low of pressure my paint doesn’t seem to be rough and doesn’t smooth out.
Min 26 for a good finish. Any lower will be too chunky
Just bought a sata b rp 1.4
Wondering if i shouldve got the 1.3 fluid tip instead
I have no idea why SATA are so deceiving about their tip sizes, I’d say 1.2 is even enough with the SATAjet 5000 models.
What would be the best sata 5000 b rp tip to use if painting in a diy paint booth?
Currently bought the 1.4 sata 5000 b rp tip we mostly use the med hardener and reducers n most paint jobs would be dry within an hour in booth its mostly hot where im from.
1.4 will work but you would have to move very fast
I currently use 1.2 rp 5000, i apply clear coat at 2.2 bar, 1.4 is quite a large fluid tip i would wind the needle right in otherwise your going to have to move quick!
all depends on the clear you using
I guess you could do a flow test on a sata tip .Get a stop watch and a certain amount of fluid. compare it to your favorite tip size it should give you a starting point.
The purpose was to test the pots not the gun as such so you could be using any gun really.
Hi gunman
Well i will bought this gun and then i saw set which include gun with 1.2w nozzle(w stands for waterborn base) so my question is this also good for solvent based and other paints, and also do you think that 1.0 or 1.1 nozzle is advisable for usage on clearcoats?
