Found another 4500 extreme in my stash. Brand new in the box never used. LXT clear cap and 1.3xl tip. I personally use one for clear great gun. A lot of tool for the money. It's a standard version not a digital. $300 shipped. Thanks.
 
Yes they're made in Spain. They are actually built very well. I, personally, would put them right up there with Sata and Iwata and I've owned them all. I've converted a few local shops over to them. But like anything in life, everyone has a different feel and style they prefer. And every brand has a dud here and there. I don't care for Sata's new offerings. But the 3000's and 5000's were nice. Iwata I'm still a w400/lph guy. But everyone is different.

I got sold on Sata's after buying a 2000RP and 2000HVLP new back in 1999or 2000 (I forget). Both of those guns lasted forever using them day in day out. Both had no gaskets to replace or funky plastic pieces like all of the competitions guns did. Prior to that I used a Devilbiss, a Sharpe Platinum, (heaven forbid) and a Binks (can't remember the model name) I could never get more than a couple of months of use out of those guns without replacing a gasket or a plastic piece of some sort. Real PITA when you rely on your guns to earn your living. After switching to the SATA's, and spending almost $1500 for the two guns, I could not believe their toughness, combined with how well they sprayed. (RP 1.3-clear, HVLP 1.3 base)
I would break them down after every 3rd use and clean and lube them and they were good to go. RP lasted over 10 years, until I dropped it once and damaged the needle and nozzle. Being that I had another, I retired that one. HVLP I used day in day out for over 13 years! Replaced the needle/nozzle assy one time after about 9 years. Still have the HVLP and it still sprays well. Keep in mind this was day in day out use.

The machine work on Sata's is so superior to anything else out IMO. Good machining eliminates the need for the gaskets that you see on needles and nozzles. As is the castings they use. Plus they spray so well. Currently have a 2000 RP 1.3 (not my original one but have had it for a looong time) 5000 RP 1.3, and a X5500 HVLP 1.3I. And additional needle nozzles sets for the 5000 and 5500. All their stuff is still made in Germany and still very high quality.

They spray as good as anything out there and they last. If you need parts nearly any jobber can get parts for you. Those are the reasons I really like Sata's over other guns. Occasional use other guns may come close at leass money but over the long haul nothing beats a Sata. Just my opinion.
 
Sata's are pretty rugged for heavy production use. Sharpe platinum that brings back memories lol. Used to use them in school. Then switched the devilbiss. Used to keep lots of packing nuts on hand for them. The sagola's are actually machined to not use any gaskets at all. Not saying they're as robust as Sata, time will tell I guess but I haven't heard of many issues.
 
I was going thru some stuff the other day and I actually still have this spray gun. New in the box never sprayed. I have one I use personally. They’re great guns. I could’ve swore I sold this but I guess not. Unless it’s an extra I didn’t realize I had who knows lol. With inflation I think this is a pretty good price. I’ll leave it the same. Thanks!
 
Me too. Beautiful gun. But I have one in use that’s been flawless and a spare. Then I found this one. I don’t think I’ll be needing it from the looks of things. I turned a few friends and local shops on to them and now they love them. Back when sagola started coming around and I mentioned the name they looked at me like I had 2 heads lol. But now they love them. Couple guys weren’t in love…usually those “sata” guys lol.
 
white snake, talk to me about how this gun sprays. tell me like im six, i still do not understand all the different options.
i know every one suggests the iwata 400 what ever letters, but they also say its slow. im afraid ill have a hard time slowing down, so how does this gun your talking about compare?
i have got to get some thing besides this damn starting line. i hate it.
 
Chris you been around every type of spray gun it sounds like. whats your take on what might suit me, or what you think i might learn fairly easy?
based on my silly ramblings on here, you might maybe have an idea?
my big beefs with the starting line...........not enough material flow for a good fan, even wide open. does not atomize well. is not made real well for easy cleaning.
 
My take on this gun is it is very well built. Everything is machined no gaskets. To me they’re in the middle as far as putting out material. Definitely faster than a iwata lph’s. But they’re not total fire hoses like the 4600’s are…or say a Sata 5000RP with a 1.3 or 1.4. The 4500’s are a bit more controlled. They atomize very well. Nice feel in the hand.

i am kinda liking what your puttin down here. i just spent this much on window seals for the boys pick up........like 5 min ago lol.
what size tip is in it? if its for clear, does that mean it would also shoot single stage well?
 
It’s a 1.3xl…kinda like a 1.35 if you will. They put out plenty of material. I’ve always run the 1.3xl’s. It is a “clear” cap but it sprays everything well, even basecoat. Yes it will spray SS well as it’s essentially production clear with color. I don’t put too much into the whole “clear” cap or “base” cap. One of my personal favorite clear guns for production work is an iwata lph with the orange “basecoat” cap lol. And plenty of people spray base with the silver cap.

Let me add this,
For me , my sagola is my big gun, I use it for any thing as big or bigger than a door panel.
It puts out a large pattern and a lot of material.
For smaller items I like my Iwata 400. It puts out a much smaller pattern and material.
Great for doing blends.
Both guns spray great, it's just easier for depending on what size project I have.
I don't do complete paint jobs, I do collision repair and most
jobs are 1 to 2 panels and bumpers.
