The Iwata LVX would be a great choice if you are wanting a gun that use can use for both base and clear. Then later on you can get the specialized caps if needed. Go for the 1.4 tip.
December 16, 2009 at 4:04 pm #17961your gonna be hard pressed to find a gun in the price range that you are looking in that is better than the iwata. iwata and sata are usually the guns to have. i prefer sata for primer and mini gun but iwata for base and clear. sata is really expensive though and out of th range you want to spend.
December 16, 2009 at 8:08 pm #17970OK – I tossed in a bid on the guys other gun. The LVX arrived at my door this AM and aside from the fact that he doesn’t know how to clean a gun, I can believe the claim that it’s only been used on a single car. The reserve is going to be somewhere around $280 and I won’t bid again (just tossed in a low ball bid to see where his reserve was).

December 16, 2009 at 8:28 pm #17972Why not just buy a LV aircap and call it a day. It will cost around $100 and you will have the gun you are bidding on. Also if you want a different nozzle size all you need is the nozzle. Same aircap and needle as long as you stay from a 1.3 to 1.6.

Go for the Devilbiss GFG 670 Plus gun they are good guns and there cheap! unless you can find a good deal on a SATA or IWATA. But Parts are REALLY expensive for them!Devilbiss parts are really cheap and you can get any size tip you need for them for 25 bucks.

______________________________________________________________________________I also saw a gun called accuspray 05-100. It was at tri-city. It didn’t have an air knob on the bottom instead it had a pressure regulator valve that screwed on that was preset air pressure. Non-adjustable. I can get that for $120. The guy said that it was a copy of the sata gun. Said it was very good. ????
December 17, 2009 at 6:34 am #18003Not trying to be a knob, but last I checked $435 is more expensive than $280. That’s an Iwata LPH 400 for very little. This gun has been listed twice with no bidders. Your call.
December 17, 2009 at 8:30 pm #18016I bought his other gun for $290 with no reserve. He started this one out lower to get a few bidders. So I’d guess that his reserve is around that mark.
