Iwata LPH400-154LVX 1.5mm Basecoat Spray Gun Only (5680)

The Iwata LPH400-154LVX 1.5mm Basecoat Spray Gun Only (5680) is a precision-engineered tool designed for professional automotive refinishing. This gravity-fed HVLP (High Volume Low Pressure) spray gun is specifically optimized for applying basecoat colors, delivering exceptional results on both solvent-borne and waterborne formulations. Its core strength lies in the revolutionary LVX eXtreme basecoat technology, which was developed to significantly increase productivity and application speed for 90-95% of all basecoat colors, including intricate fine metallics and pearls. Users can achieve an ultra-smooth finish without needing to alter their existing spraying technique, making it an intuitive and efficient upgrade for any paint booth. The LPH400-LVX model is renowned for being considerably faster than many competing spray guns in its category, while still maintaining superior finish quality and control. This particular offering provides the spray gun body only, allowing users to pair it with their preferred cup accessories.

Ensure correct viscosity for optimal spray performance.Attach Cup: Securely attach a compatible gravity-feed paint cup to the spray gun. Pour the mixed paint into the cup.Connect Air Supply: Connect an air hose from your regulated air compressor to the air inlet of the spray gun. Set the air pressure to the recommended 16 PSI at the gun.Test Spray: Before applying to the final surface, perform a test spray on a practice panel or masked-off area. Adjust fluid output and fan pattern as needed to achieve your desired coverage and atomization.Apply Basecoat: Hold the gun perpendicular to the surface at a consistent distance (typically 6-8 inches). Apply even, overlapping passes, maintaining consistent speed to achieve uniform coverage. For metallic and pearl finishes, ensure consistent gun speed and overlap to avoid mottling.Clean Up: Immediately after use, thoroughly clean the spray gun by flushing it with appropriate cleaning solvents or water (depending on paint type) until all paint residue is removed from the fluid passages and air cap.BENEFITS OF USING IWATA LPH400-154LVX 1.5MM BASECOAT SPRAY GUN ONLY (5680):Achieve professional-grade automotive paint finishes with enhanced efficiency.Minimize material waste due to superior atomization and reduced overspray.Experience quicker job completion times for basecoat application compared to alternative guns.Gain consistent, uniform coverage, especially critical for complex metallic and pearl pigments.Maintain existing painting habits with a gun that adapts to your technique.Ensure compatibility with both the latest solvent and waterborne paint systems.Benefit from Anest Iwata’s reputation for precision engineering and reliability.FEATURES:Specialized LVX air cap for optimal basecoat performance.Engineered for excellent color consistency across various basecoat formulations.Designed for comfort and balance during extended use.Precision-machined internal components for consistent performance.Capable of handling high-end fine metallic and pearl automotive paints.Corrosion-resistant construction for longevity in demanding shop environments.Ergonomic design for reduced painter fatigue.Easy to disassemble for cleaning and maintenance.
