Iwata LPH400-LVX 1.4mm HVLP Spray Gun (5670)

The Iwata LPH400-LVX 1.4mm HVLP Spray Gun (5670) is a professional-grade gravity-feed spray gun specifically engineered for high productivity in automotive refinish applications, particularly for basecoats. Its core strength lies in its specialized LVX eXtreme Basecoat Technology, designed to optimize the application of 90–95% of basecoat colors, including various metallic, xyrillic, and pearl finishes. This technology delivers an ultra-smooth application and contributes to significant material savings due to its high transfer efficiency. Operating at low air pressure (16 psi) and consuming minimal air (9.8 CFM), it ensures efficient use of paint while reducing overspray. The gun’s robust construction features a cast aluminum body with stainless steel fluid tips and needles, ensuring durability and consistent performance. Its “Tulip Inspired” spray pattern further enhances material transfer and minimizes waste, making it a reliable tool for consistent, high-quality results.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:Professional Performance: Designed for high productivity in automotive basecoat applications.LVX eXtreme Basecoat Technology: Optimizes spray performance for 90–95% of basecoat colors, including metallic, xyrillic, and pearl finishes.Material Efficiency: High transfer efficiency reduces material consumption and paint waste.Low Air Consumption: Operates at 16 psi and 9.8 CFM, conserving air while maintaining performance.Durable Construction: Features a cast aluminum body and stainless steel fluid tip and needle for long-lasting use.Improved Spray Pattern: “Tulip Inspired” design provides uniform paint delivery and reduces overspray.SPECIFICATIONS:Nozzle Diameter: 1.4 mmWork Pressure (Recommended): 16 psi (1.1 bar)Air Cap Set Type: LVX OrangeAverage Air Consumption: 9.8 CFMPattern Size: 12.2 inches (310 mm)Air Inlet Size: 1/4″HOW TO USE:Prepare the Surface: Ensure the surface to be painted is clean, dry, and properly prepped according to paint manufacturer guidelines (e.g., sanded, primed, degreased).Mix Paint: Prepare your basecoat material according to the paint manufacturer’s instructions, ensuring proper thinning and straining to prevent clogs.Fill Gravity Cup: Pour the prepared paint into the gravity-feed cup attached to the spray gun.Connect Air Supply: Attach a clean air hose to the 1/4″ air inlet on the spray gun and set your air compressor regulator to the recommended 16 psi (1.1 bar) working pressure.Adjust Controls: Perform a test spray on scrap material to adjust the fluid control knob, fan pattern control knob, and air pressure for optimal atomization and spray pattern.Apply Basecoat: Hold the gun perpendicular to the workpiece, typically 100–200mm away. Move the gun in straight, horizontal passes, overlapping each pass by 50–70% for even coverage.Clean After Use: Immediately after painting, thoroughly clean the spray gun by flushing it with appropriate cleaning solvents or water (for waterborne paints) until all paint residue is removed from the fluid passages, nozzle, and air cap.BENEFITS OF USING IWATA LPH400-LVX 1.4MM HVLP SPRAY GUN (5670):Delivers professional-grade basecoat finishes with superior consistency.Improves efficiency and reduces paint usage through high transfer efficiency.Minimizes blotchiness and uneven application in metallic and pearl finishes.Supports both solvent and waterborne paints for versatile use.Reduces overspray, lowering environmental impact and cleanup.Constructed with durable components for extended service life and reliability.FEATURES:Designed for optimal performance on 90–95% of automotive basecoat types.Achieves high material transfer efficiency, reducing paint waste.Features a gravity-feed cup for easy material loading and cleaning.Equipped with stainless steel fluid tip and needle for corrosion resistance.Incorporates a unique “Tulip Inspired” spray pattern for efficient paint delivery.Operates at low air pressure, contributing to reduced overspray.Compatible with the 3M PPS Cup System (Adapter Type 2).Constructed with a cast aluminum body for durability.
