Introducing the SATAjet X 5500 RP
The SATAjet X 5500 RP Standard is a top-of-the-range Spray gun designed for professional bodybuilders. It has been designed to offer an effective compromise between productivity, ease of use and finish quality. The RP version is particularly appreciated for fast applications of body Clearcoat, Primers and finishing products requiring good deposit control.
The Standard version is simple to use, with no integrated digital display. It retains all the essential qualities of the SATAjet X 5500: ergonomic handle, accessible settings, easy-to-clean surface, 1/4" air connection, compatibility with SATA RPS buckets and QCC system for quick bucket assembly.
Nozzles 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 mm allow the gun to be adapted to the products being applied. The 1.1 mm Nozzle is ideal for fine, controlled applications. The 1.2 mm Nozzle offers a good compromise between precision and flow rate. The 1.3 mm Nozzle provides more material and is suitable for applications where the bodybuilder is looking for a taut finish and higher productivity.
Sata gun features
1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 mm Nozzles for Clearcoats, Primers and Finishes
The choice of Nozzle allows you to adapt the application to the product and the desired result. The 1.1 mm Nozzle gives you a finer spray, useful for light applications or very controlled finishes. The 1.2 mm Nozzle remains versatile for everyday finishing work. The 1.3 mm Nozzle provides a more generous deposit, suitable for Clearcoats and products requiring better coverage.
RP technology for fast application
RP technology is designed for fast application with an even spray pattern. It allows you to work efficiently while maintaining a good quality finish. For a bodyshop, this technology helps improve productivity on Clearcoat, Primer and topcoat applications.
X nozzle system
The SATAjet X 5500 uses the X nozzle system, available in I or O spray pattern configurations. I nozzles produce a longer jet with a drier overlap area, useful for control. O nozzles offer a more oval spray pattern with a wetter centre, suitable for faster application. This logic allows the gun to be adjusted to the painter's movements and the requirements of the paint system.
Comfort and maintenance in the workshop
The SATAjet X 5500 RP Standard is ergonomically designed for repeated use in the spray booth. The flow and fan settings are accessible, the gun body is easy to clean and the QCC connector makes it easy to fit the cup. The gun is compatible with SATA RPS 0.3 L, 0.6 L and 0.9 L buckets to adapt the volume of product to the job.

Using the SATAjet X 5500
The SATAjet X 5500 RP Standard with 1.1, 1.2 or 1.3 mm nozzles is mainly used for applying body Clearcoats, primers and topcoats. Before application, the substrate must be prepared, sanded, cleaned and degreased according to the paint system used. The product applied must be mixed with its Hardener or Thinner according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
The choice of Nozzle depends on the product and the desired finish. A 1.1 mm Nozzle is suitable for fine, controlled applications. A 1.2 mm Nozzle is suitable for versatile finishing work. A 1.3 mm Nozzle provides a more generous deposit for Clearcoats or products requiring a tighter coat.
For optimum application, the SATA leaflet indicates a maximum RP pressure of 2.0 bar and a recommended distance of 17 to 21 cm. The Carross data sheet also gives a pressure range of 1.8 to 2.0 bar and a spray distance of 12 to 19 cm. These settings should be adjusted to suit the product, the spray booth, the Nozzle and the painter's movements.
During application, it is important to maintain a steady distance, even coverage and constant speed. This method ensures an even coat, minimises defects in appearance and gives a clean bodywork finish. After use, the spray gun should be cleaned thoroughly to preserve the quality of the spray.
Advantages of the SATAjet X 5500 RP Standard
The main advantage of the SATAjet X 5500 RP Standard is its speed of application. RP technology makes it possible to work efficiently on Clearcoats, primers and finishes while maintaining an even spray pattern. This performance helps workshops save time without compromising finish quality.
The 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3 mm Nozzles offer great flexibility of use. Bodybuilders can choose the configuration best suited to the product being applied, the size of the repair and the desired finish. This versatility means that the same model of gun can be used for several types of finishing job.
The X nozzle system makes it even easier to adapt the gun to the painter's movements. Depending on the spray pattern chosen, you can opt for control, precision or faster application. This flexibility is useful for achieving an even finish on different substrates and bodywork products.
Ease of use and simplified maintenance are also important benefits. The SATAjet X 5500 RP Standard is ergonomic, compatible with RPS buckets and designed for easy cleaning after application. It can be easily integrated into a professional body shop.
