I have the 1.3 but I’m used to choking my 1.3 rp3000 so the speed isn’t to big of a problem. Sprayed Nason 465 clear and this gun made it look like Spies 8180 clear. I had a little sag on the second job i used it on but i can be sanded out with 2000 grit 😛
Just used my new ws400 :exci
Best gun for clear.Its a little slow but it lays down as good as the sata rp3000 but I feel its harder to run with it.
Awesome glad to hear you solved it….use a suit man. I just started to and love it.
Looks nice man I paint in a booth at work but i would love a setup like yours if I had a garage. Hey by the way do you wet the floor down before you paint.I read your have contamination problems it couldnt hurt.Just make sure its wet not flooded nothing is worse than slapping the hose on the ground and having water hit your 2nd coat of clear. :cens
Try making videos of the different types of blends
I have been taught alot of different types of blends and it really helped me to see them.Yeah at my shop we are a production quality shop :rofl
So they want it perfect and quick.Keeping booth time short is mandatory there. :cens

well do you follow the 16 psi or do you up the psi to 25 like some guys
Well the office personal at the shop haven’t notice some of my cloudy Iwata jobs even with me pointing it out. But I don’t want to question the experience of the painters on this site that have been painting longer than I have.I think there has to be something I’m doing wrong because I have spray some flawless metallics with the lvx but it takes me some work.
By the way my jobber work today and brought me the ws400 clear but what number is the 3m pps number for them is it the same as the lph400
okay guys I will give all this advice a try on monday and let you guys know if I fall in love with my lvx.. I think my Ws400 aka supernova is coming in on tuesday I’ll write back on what i think of it
I’ve read the silver cap isn’t good with metallics thats why i havent tried it. I can get the metallics to look awesome with the sata its just the Iwata I dont know if i need to change my technique. I use 1.3 for everything clear and base so a 1.4 would be a big change you think it will help because thats a $175 investment. Alot painters in our area say they hate the spies for everything colormatch and clear and i would have to agree with them. 8180 still dies back and the techs just gave up on us the funny thing is the sata lays it smooth and then it dies backs but the iwata lays it peely and I don’t get as much dieback.
Are shop just switched from Standox to Spies 4 months ago and because the booths we have are raised downdrafts were having a problem with die back. Techs are saying its because of low air flow. So we went from the 8035 Hs the 8180 Ms. I didn’t like the way LPH400 LV sprayed clear also but its an awesome gun for what I use it for. I dont get dry spray from the Iwata or Sata ,I just feel a little overspray feel on the blend panels with the Sata’s but the Iwata Blend Panels are smooth the problem is I can see the blend on the side tone. Its hard to explain because I’m kinda a newb when it come to technical terms but when in the booth the metallics on most silvers look like they are siting on top and give the side tone a silver light tone .Now with the sata LVB it mimics that pretty good.The sata gets it to the point its not noticeable but the LVX lays down that metallic flat so u can’t see the blend from the front angle but you can see it from the side.I’ve tried mixing basecoat colorless 2 to 1 and I tried the low pressure effect coat.I’ll try closing the fan and see what happens.I never used the lph400 silver cap for metallics so I’ll try that too. The techs taught me how to make the wet bed but I got two different ways, is it activated hardner than 9 to 1 with reducers or 3 to 1 with reducers
Thanks guys for the quick replies
