Eastwood Concours LT100 HVLP Base Gun Review: Great for Small Compressors and Professional Results
The Eastwood Concours LT100 is a high-quality HVLP base gun that is perfect for those working in home garages or other locations where industrial-sized air compressors are not available. With the ability to operate at 4.5CFM @ 30 PSI, this gun is able to deliver excellent performance from a smaller compressor.
Paint Gun Versatility
During testing, the LT100 was used to paint two vehicles from start to finish, including sealer, basecoat, and clearcoat. The gun shipped with a 1.3 tip, which proved to be versatile for a variety of product types. The application of sealer was smooth and left minimal texture, while the metallic blends produced by the LT100 were undetectable and had a uniform metallic orientation. The clearcoat application also went smoothly, producing a low amount of overspray and a smooth, professional finish comparable to an OEM finish.
In terms of handling, the LT100 feels compact and similar to the Iwata LPH400. It is easy to disassemble and clean thanks to its metal fitting tips, and can be used with a 600ML plastic cup or the 3M PPS system for easier clean-up. The trigger of the gun may be a bit stiffer than other models, requiring a tighter grip for operation, but it is also more responsive.
Overall, the Eastwood Concours LT100 is a great choice for anyone looking to enter the trade or work as a hobbyist, as it is able to deliver professional results at an affordable price.
