Iwata LPH400 LVB 1.3mm Gravity Fed Spray Gun (5700)

The Iwata LPH400 LVB 1.3mm Gravity Fed Spray Gun (5700) is a high-performance HVLP spray gun specifically engineered for critical automotive refinish applications, particularly those involving challenging fine metallic and pearl basecoats. This sprayer is designed to address common issues such as mottling, blotching, streaking, and floating often encountered with these paint types, providing a consistent and high-quality finish.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:Metallic Control: Specifically engineered to control the application of difficult metallic and pearl basecoats, reducing common finish issues.Patented LV Technology: Features a split nozzle design that enhances material efficiency and atomization.Purple Air Cap: Distinctive cap designed for optimal spraying of metallic and pearl paints.Minimal Wear Parts: Simplified construction allows for easier cleaning and reduced maintenance time.3M PPS Compatibility: Works with 3M PPS cup system via Adapter Type 2 for enhanced versatility.Super Base Coat Air Cap: Patent-pending design ensures precise control of fine metallics and excellent pigment alignment.SPECIFICATIONS:Nozzle Diameter: 1.3 mmWork Pressure: 14 psi (0.97 bar)Pattern Size: 320 mmWeight: 476gHOW TO USE:Prepare the Paint: Mix your metallic or pearl basecoat thoroughly according to the paint manufacturer’s instructions. Ensure the paint is properly strained to avoid clogs.Attach the Cup: Securely attach the gravity-fed paint cup (or 3M PPS system with adapter) to the spray gun.Adjust Air Pressure: Connect the gun to your air compressor. Set the air pressure to the recommended 14 psi (0.97 bar) at the gun’s inlet.Adjust Fan Pattern: Open the fan pattern adjustment knob to your desired width for the application area.Adjust Fluid Output: Adjust the fluid control knob to regulate the amount of paint flowing through the gun. Start with a moderate setting and adjust as needed.Test Spray: Before applying to your actual workpiece, perform test sprays on a scrap panel to fine-tune your pressure, fan, and fluid settings for optimal atomization and metallic lay-out.Apply Basecoat: Maintain a consistent distance and speed while moving the gun parallel to the surface. Overlap each pass by 50% to ensure even coverage and prevent tiger stripping or mottling.Clean After Use: Immediately after finishing, thoroughly clean the spray gun by flushing it with appropriate cleaning solvents until all paint residue is removed from the fluid passages, air cap, and nozzle. Disassemble parts as necessary for a complete clean.BENEFITS OF USING IWATA LPH400 LVB 1.3MM GRAVITY FED SPRAY GUN (5700):Reduces the occurrence of mottling, blotching, and streaking in metallic and pearl applications.Minimizes rework, saving both time and materials.Ensures even distribution of metallic flakes for a vibrant and consistent finish.Improves cost-efficiency through high transfer efficiency and reduced material waste.Facilitates cleaning and maintenance, improving shop productivity.FEATURES:Optimized for fine metallic and pearl basecoat applications.Utilizes advanced HVLP technology for high transfer efficiency.Equipped with a unique purple air cap specifically designed for metallic control.Features a patented LV technology with a split nozzle for efficient paint atomization.Designed with minimal wear parts to facilitate simple cleaning and maintenance.Compatible with the 3M PPS cup system using a Type 2 adapter.Incorporates a patent-pending “Super Base Coat Air Cap” for precise pigment alignment.Provides a wide pattern size for efficient coverage.Lightweight construction for comfortable, extended use.Complies with relevant industry certifications and regulations.
