The DeVilbiss DV1 Clearcoat Kit 704521 is the complete professional clearcoat solution from the DV1 platform — the only DV1 kit that ships with two air caps. The kit includes three fluid tips (1.2, 1.3, and 1.4mm), both the DV1-C1+ HVLP Plus (704434) and DV1-C2+ HVLP Plus (704435) air caps, the Digital DGI PRO Air Gauge, and DPC Adapter.

The DV1 Clearcoat introduces a step change in atomization by optimizing air velocity while maximizing fluid flow simultaneously. This produces an even distribution of fine, uniformly sized particles that wet up a surface easily and hang flawlessly on vertical panels — delivering an immediately visible improvement in Distinctness of Image (DOI) and brilliance in the reflective, mirror-like clearcoat finish that professional painters and shops demand.

Higher application speeds at lower pressures enhance overall productivity and efficiency, while the integrated digital gauge provides the exact, repeatable inlet pressure readings that ensure consistent results job to job. Call or text 586-210-0555 to confirm the right cap and tip combination for your clearcoat brand.

Air Cap 1

DV1-C1+ HVLP Plus

Order No. 704434 · 12.8” · 10.0 SCFM @ 22 PSI digital / 29 PSI handle

Wider 12.8” pattern at 10.0 SCFM. Ideal for full-panel clearcoat application where maximum fan coverage per pass is the priority.

Air Cap 2

Order No. 704435 · 12.2” · 11.3 SCFM @ 22 PSI digital / 29 PSI handle

Tighter 12.2” pattern at 11.3 SCFM. Higher air volume for more aggressive atomization — suited to higher-viscosity clearcoats and operators who prefer a more concentrated fan.

Service Kits & Key Spare Parts

Full breakdown with all item numbers: DV1 C Breakdown →

Which cap should I run first — C1+ or C2+?

Most painters start with the DV1-C1+ for its wider 12.8” pattern and slightly lower air consumption. The DV1-C2+ at 12.2” and 11.3 SCFM delivers more concentrated atomization that some painters prefer for higher-viscosity UHS clearcoats or when spraying in tighter spaces. Since both are included in this kit, try the C1+ first and compare with your specific clearcoat brand. Call 586-210-0555 if you need guidance.

Can I use DV1-B tips in the DV1 Clearcoat gun?

No — DV1-C (clearcoat) tips and DV1-B (basecoat) tips are not interchangeable. The C-series tips are engineered specifically for clearcoat viscosities and the C-series air caps. Always use DV1-C tips (704440–704444) with this gun. The fluid needle (DV1-300, 704416) is shared between B and C configurations.

What tip size should I use for UHS clearcoat?

The 1.2mm (704442) is the most commonly used tip for HS and UHS clearcoats from major brands including PPG, Axalta, and Spies Hecker. The 1.3mm (704443) is suitable for higher-viscosity UHS systems where additional fluid flow is needed. All three included tips (1.2, 1.3, 1.4mm) cover the full range of professional clearcoat viscosities. Call 586-210-0555 to confirm for your specific brand.

Are the C-series spray head and sleeve the same as the B-series?

No — the DV1 Clearcoat uses C-series specific components for its gold spray head and sleeve. The Spray Head Kit (704436) and Sleeve Kit (704437) are clearcoat-specific. Air valve, rear seal, front cage, service kits, needle, and packing kit are shared with the B-series. See the DV1 C Breakdown for the full parts list.

Which service kit should I stock for the DV1 Clearcoat?

The Minor Service Kit (704430) covers routine maintenance — front cage, needle spring, and O-rings. The Major Service Kit (704431) handles full overhauls. Note that the DV1 Clearcoat minor kit items differ slightly from the B-series — items 23, 25, 35, 51, 53 vs the B-series which also includes item 49. See the DV1 C Breakdown to confirm.
