I purchased a used Iwata LPH400 - 134LV base-coat clear-coat spray gun from our local auto body store. The gun was used in the field for demo purposes. The kit included a1.3mm and 1.4mm needle and nozzle, along with 2 air caps and the 3M PPS disposable cup adapter along with the standard steel cup.
I understood the gun was run pretty hard and air was leaking past the trigger. So haggled them down to half the cost of body shop price new. The remaining thing to do is a complete rebuild on the gun.Unfortunately, the air valve is on back-order and should arrive in today's mail. I have all other parts.
A very cool gun that operates on less air than a standard HVLP sprayer. Air pressure at the gun should be set to 14-18 pounds with the trigger pulled and fan pattern fully opened, so 10 pounds at the air cap is achieved. Interesting thing about this gun, the fluid tip is scored. Its called "tulip shaped fluid nozzle" which helps with fluid atomization and produces less over spray than ordinary guns. So much so, that two painters can simultaneously paint a single car in the same spray booth.
So this weekend....test and tune spraying sealer...pic's will follow.
