Do you have the HV30 hvlp air cap? The te20 rocks but the surprise for me was how well the hvlp actually worked. Not a good clear setup but for problem colors you might be surprised-Id mail you mine but I need it. LOL
Yes I have the hv30 cap I’ll give it a go what tip are you use 1.3 or 1.4?
Thanks for the info guys much appreciated.
Yes you are correct as we live in rip off britain we only get 1 air cap with the prolite but i had both clear and basecoat guns so i have the te10 and te20 caps ! I had been told that the te20 is a better all round cap so il give that a try next week ! I really love the te20 for clear it suites my close n fast style for clearing ! I may have to treat myself to a 5000 soon tho as im a gun slag lol ! I just sold my iwata supanova as it just didnt suite me at all pos !have both but 90 percent of the time i have the copper in my hand with 1.4/hv30 and the prolite has 1.3 and te20. i like both and the outcome seems so similar its usually about material savings as the hvlp saves a bunch. Remember I do allovers not repair so blend for me is rarity. I start with a clean slate and only blend if i cock it up myself or am fixing a friend or family car. I keep plenty of wet bed clear so that tells you i aint perfect by no means. Wish I could spray as much as you guys cuz i love it but that aint inthe cards for me. What are your impressions of the 5000 hvlp-replacing the nr2000? im getting droolly thinking of getting one.
Thats my position as well-close and fast and i just like the sata for clear but a close second for me is tekna with te20 I get good finishes with either the Satas just seem easier for large areas . For base i like both but have seemed to gravitate to the tekna for the past 3 years-It seems to suit me but i think thats more because the 4000 hvlp didnt over the top suit me for base, and now im comfortable with em (tekna’s) so It will take a gun i can get excited about to really change. The 5000 hvlp might do it.
lik2dig … sent you a message
did you get a chance to try it yet?
Yes I did I sprayed a tailgate turned out good I would like to try it on a bigger job
good deal-youll like it-dial your fan in a little more than usual to get speed out of it on a bigger job-not alot but as much as youcan handle. thats the trick forthe 4000 hvlp with clear-folks think hvlp is slow but close and fast with narrowed fan can be faster than rp and it atomizes twice as good i have gotten finishes out of the 4000 hvlp you would swear were done by an RP.
Hey CDYKSTRA-just a pic if it works to show my 4000 hvlp used for clear with fan narrowed a bit to make it spray like an rp
Not sure how to post pics here so if you have advice on how would love to hear it.https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox/14dedf9288a0aa41
2dig did you get my message with email?
sent you like 6 pics-dont look to hard at my booth it surely dont have any fans or grates in the floor-lol but she moves some air and is paid for.lol I actually have 2 homemade cross drafts-1 main shop is heated/ air conditioned but i found i neded a second smaller booth for jammin, bikes and cars. Still learning to paint in 95 degrees down here and found retarder is my friend.
2dig is the limco 4100 the low voc clear?
No-its your basic HS cheapie clear for air dry repair and hobby folk. Alot and I do mean alot of repair shops hang a diamont or glasurit sign and then pound this on every thing that comes in the door, My homey at finishmaster claims this clear and the 4000( speed Version) is 98 percent of what they sell. I use it for cut in to save some money and it performs well on completes-you bout cant run it. Dies Back a good bit-im spraying it now w/o reducer so pop and die back aint too bad but it does happen.
Have you sprayed any of rm low voc solvent?
