    They don’t have a huge market share but none of the high end European lines do. Most shops use PPG and Dupont over here. They have the majority of the market.

    I was using the 8035 and 8600 clear. 8600 was 3 to 1 with VHS hardeners and 8035 was 2 to 1.

    I’m guessing your an Iwata guy. You using W-400’s?

    Yea i sort of thought that dont really here much about spies in the us..

    Been using that 8045 clear for a while you can have it two ways 3 to 1 with VHS hardner or MS 8033 2 to 1.

    You guys use that spectro flex tintable primer wet on wet??

    Yes i love the iwata’s got a WB400 WBX 1.3 set up with gold cap for base and
    a WB400 1.3 setup with blue cap number 2 if that makes any sense??? might be slightly diffrent guns compared to us market??.

    The W-400 WB2 aircap is the same as our W-400lv. Nice spraying clear gun. Our version of the WBX is an orange cap called a LVX.

    Yes we have the Spectro here as well.

    Sounds like you are setup right!

    I have sprayed it once. I liked it. I used Dupont Cromax Pro for awhile and I currently spray Sikkens Autowave.

    Coverage on Spies is great.
