is anyone using a rp 4000/1.2 for clearing,and if so,tell me about it.i’m using the 1.3 now
I have, what do you want to know?
I think it is slow, but that is determined by the clear I spray. What products are you using,clears specifically? That might help us out.
nasons/dupont
Nason can be some pretty thin stuff. if you go too small mil thickness becomes a concern.
Is the 1.3 too fast?

Exactly. Nason clear is very thin.
Specifically what products are you using? What do you not like about your 1.3?

I recently started to use the 4000 rp/1.2 for clear. It is a bit slow. I used a 3000 rp 1.3 before. It depends on what clear you are using. If i use a 1.3 i have to apply 1 smooth light/medium coat, and 1 normal/full coat. if i use the 1.2 i have to apply 2 normal/full coats. With the 1.3 i spray a lot faster then a 1.2.
I work witn Nexa AUTOCOLOR btw.
I got to use the RP4000 with various Dupont clears for the first time at the training center. I found it way too slow personally with the 1.2. My setup at the shop is a RP 3000 with a 1.3 for glasurit clears and I find it just goes on so much quicker, I think I’d need to slow down my hardeners half the times if I swapped for a 1.2
I use a 4000rp for clear. I was initially using a 1.3 and shot many different clears with it. I found it too slow for my style.wouldnt want to try a 1.2. I am now using a 1.4 but still not the fastest gun out there, if it were me i would use the 1.3, Nason clears are on the skinny side.

Smooth, if you are painting Nexa Clearcoats, like the 6659 express clearcoat, How do you apply them with a 1.4? Really fast and close to the object? And with a 1.3?

I cannot get the 6659 because i live in Canada, im using the 6759 (basically the same clear). Was using a 1.3 but found it too slow like previously mentioned. Using a 1.4 now close and fast seems to do the trick. Im really liking the 6800 speed clear have you tryed it?
i love it with a 1.2 but i got my neadle set all the way back the 1.3 puts out to much for me. standox clear 15-60+

I think i cant get that clear around here. I use the 6659 express clear, 6690 hs clear, 6512 ceramic clear, 1061 matt clear. all with my 4000 RP 1.2. it is a bit slow ( 2 normal/full coats). I think i’m going to try to spray with my GTI PRO 1.3 T110. But i have some issues with spraying my first layer of clear thin and smooth.. any suggestions on that?
I usually spray that clear close and fast. If you need it to lay it like glass, try adding 5% accelerator.
