Thanks Spray! BTW I am sending you a PM!

got it

Thanks Darrell!

Ok guys sprayed with the Iwata. Seemed a little different than the old guns I have (Devilbis). Liked it, almost no over spray in garage, compressor only ran one brief time on each coat on a pick up lid I was painting. Clear worked out so far, no wrinkles,yet!!! been cured for 3 days already. Thanks for the suggestion on the gun. Ken

Glad you like it! Yes it takes some getting used to thats for sure but like you said, it barely uses air and little overspray.

I use SATA. Used to use a lesser priced(quality) and thats what I got - not worth it to me- Use the bst- get the best work....

I like SATA and Iwata. I own an IWATA LPH 400. The Iwata's are great guns and use VERY little air and very little overspray. when spraying so it took a while for me to get used to this gun. With the Iwata you will move slow and it lays down a great pattern. The stock cap with it is the silver one and it does great for clears and basic base coats.my advice to u to go with iwata, and nice to here u prefer iwata.

I have a lph 400 as well I have never painted before painting with this gun, and I got very little drips, only in my primer which I had to block sand only, and none in my final coats,,, I really don't have anything to compare this gun too, but I though it worked great!!

I have been Demoing the NEW Iwata SuperNova guns , designed by Pininfarina, and man are they SWEET ! The WS400 is the clear gun ( not on the market yet ) , and the LS400 is their base gun , I now shoot Aquabase Plus Water borne and boy it sprays it Excellent .
It has a whole new way of spraying out the material , its like a well defined line of material , without the fuzzy overspray bouncing off the panels .
The LS400 I demoed , I sprayed color at 12-16 psi , and the clear gun was set at 20 psi .

I have been using 4 Iwata LPH 400's ( 1.4 FN ) for 4 years now 2 are in the silver LV4 silver air cap , the LVB purple air cap for those hard to spray pearls , kandies and metallics only , and the Extreme orange air cap that works very well with base color and clears .

Look into them when they hit the market !!!!!!
You wont be sorry !

Darrell, your a lucky sun of a gun! I am still happy with my LPH400 thought and wouldn't mind having 1 or 2 more. How were you able to get your hands on these new ones? I am guessing a jobber came buy with some test dummy ones?

Actually , I friended a guy that runs & works for Iwata gun forums and he sent me the demos , he even sent me the Extreme (Orange ) air cap to demo for the LPH400's before they were introduced to the public a couple of years ago
Yes I am a LUCKY man .
