Hey guys I am picking up a sata 4000 hvlp for solvent base coats and a sata 4000 RP for water base but clear mostly. I want to know what cups I should get metal or plastic?
Use the plastic cup or sata rps cups for waterborne and the metal cup for everything else.Check to make sure the fluid tip size you get is the right one for the product you are using.HVLP will be better for waterborne and use the rp for clear.Don’t use the same gun for waterborne and clear unless you can make it absolutely spotless.
I use ppg as of now and I talk to a sata rep and he recommended a hvlp 1.3 and rp 1.3. But he said the rp 1.2 is best for enviro base water. Do you think I should get the hvlp plastic and the rp metal? What are the benefits?
Waterborne is a bitch to clean,most guys use a disposable cup system like sata rps or 3mpps.Easier to clean is why to use a plastic pot for waterborne vs metal.Buy one of each or get a disposable cup system.Glad you got your needs figured out,good luck.
Will the metal cup rust after using with water?

It should be aluminium so shouldn’t rust, but anything you’ve used with waterborne products needs to be cleaned [b]and dried [/b]thoroughly after use any way.
Just to reinforce something Jason said – you really ought to keep your water borne and solvent borne guns separate. Yes it is possible to use one gun for both products but you have to be absolutely meticulous with the cleaning process. If it were me I’d be getting one gun for water base and another for solvent base & clear.
