Attach your chosen paint cup (not included with this “gun only” model) securely to the spray gun.Mix Paint: Prepare your basecoat material according to the paint manufacturer’s recommendations for viscosity and reduction. Pour the mixed paint into the attached cup.Connect Air Supply: Connect the spray gun to a regulated air compressor using a suitable air hose. Set the air pressure at the gun’s inlet to 19 PSI as indicated by a regulator.Adjust Settings: Perform a test spray on a scrap surface to fine-tune the fluid output and fan pattern. Adjust the fluid knob to control paint volume and the pattern adjustment knob to modify the spray fan width for optimal coverage.Application: Hold the spray gun perpendicular to the surface at a consistent distance (typically 6-8 inches). Apply the basecoat with smooth, overlapping passes, maintaining a steady speed to ensure even coverage.Cleaning: After each use, thoroughly clean the spray gun. Disassemble the air cap and nozzle, and clean all paint passages with appropriate cleaning solutions. Rinse thoroughly and dry before storage.BENEFITS OF USING THE IWATA SUPERNOVA LS400 1.3 MM GOLD BASE SPRAY GUN ONLY (5800):Professional-Grade Finishes: Achieves basecoat finishes with minimal effort and high quality.Reduces Material Consumption: Due to efficient atomization and transfer, saving costs over time.Comfortable Painting Experience: Ergonomic design minimizes hand fatigue during use.Consistent Performance: Provides reliable results across various basecoat applications.Simplifies Cleaning: Accessible air cap design makes maintenance easy.FEATURES:Designed for Optimal Basecoat Application: Ensures effective coverage and finish.Distinctive Gold-Colored Air Cap: Signifies specialized function for basecoats.Collaboration with Pininfarina: Enhances aesthetic and functional design.Advanced Atomizing Technology: Produces consistent droplet size for quality results.Flat, Even Spray Pattern: Reduces common defects like mottling.Engineered for Comfortable Handling: Enhances user experience during extended use.Stainless Steel Fluid Passages: Ensures compatibility with various paint types.Easy Removal and Cleaning: Air cap designed for low maintenance.Responsive Trigger Action: Offers precise control for detailed applications.Maintains Balance: Works well with various cup sizes.
