Iwata LS400-1302 1.3mm Spray Gun Only (5810)

The Iwata LS400-1302 1.3mm Spray Gun Only (5810) is a high-performance HVLP (High Volume Low Pressure) gravity-feed spray gun from Iwata’s esteemed Supernova series, engineered for professional automotive refinish applications. This particular model, designated as “gun only,” focuses on delivering exceptional clearcoat finishes while also performing effectively with basecoats. Its core design principle centers on achieving superior atomization control, which translates into a very consistent droplet size during application. This precision in atomization is critical for laying down a smooth, even, and high-quality finish, particularly vital for the demands of modern clearcoats.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:Superior Atomization Control for Clearcoat Application: Engineered to deliver fine and consistent atomization, resulting in exceptionally smooth and defect-free clearcoat finishes.Production Speed and Ergonomically Advanced Design: Facilitates efficient workflow and reduces painter fatigue through its optimized balance and comfortable handling.Consistent Droplet Size When Atomizing: Ensures a uniform spray pattern and material distribution, leading to a flatter and more even final appearance.Perfect Balance Regardless of Cup Size: Provides stable and comfortable operation, enhancing control during all stages of painting.Ergonomic Grip: Designed to fit comfortably in the hand, minimizing strain during prolonged use.Stainless Steel Fluid Passages: Makes the spray gun fully compatible with both solvent-borne and waterborne paint materials, offering versatility for different refinishing jobs.SPECIFICATIONS:Nozzle Size: 1.3mmAir Cap: LS-400-02 (Fine Platinum)Air Inlet: 1/4″Fluid Inlet: 1/4″Weight: 423 gramsWhat’s Included: Iwata LS400-1302 1.3mm Spray Gun only (No fluid cup or accessories included).HOW TO USE:Preparation: Ensure the surface to be painted is thoroughly cleaned, prepped, and masked according to standard painting procedures.Mix Paint: Prepare your paint material (clearcoat or basecoat) according to the manufacturer’s specifications. Ensure proper thinning and straining to prevent clogs.Attach Cup (if applicable): If using a separate fluid cup, securely attach it to the gun’s fluid inlet.Connect Air Supply: Connect a regulated air supply line to the 1/4″ air inlet on the spray gun. Set your air pressure to the recommended PSI for your material and desired atomization (typically around 10 PSI at the cap for HVLP).Adjust Controls: Adjust the fluid needle to control material flow and the fan pattern control to achieve the desired spray pattern width.Test Spray: Before applying to your main surface, perform a test spray on a practice panel or masked-off area to verify atomization, pattern, and fluid output.Apply Paint: Maintain a consistent distance and speed while moving the gun parallel to the surface. Overlap each pass by 50% for even coverage.Clean After Use: Immediately after painting, thoroughly clean the spray gun by flushing it with appropriate cleaning solvents. Disassemble the air cap and fluid tip for detailed cleaning to prevent material buildup.BENEFITS OF USING THE IWATA LS400-1302 1.3MM SPRAY GUN ONLY (5810):Mirror-Like Clearcoat Finishes: Achieves high-quality finishes with minimal effort due to precise material atomization.Reduces Post-Paint Buffing: Minimizes the need for extensive buffing and polishing due to a flat, even laydown of material.Increases Overall Efficiency: Enhances painting speed for professional workshops.Comfort and Stability: Offers a comfortable grip and stability during long painting sessions, mitigating user fatigue.Adaptability: Suitable for a wide range of modern automotive paint systems, contributing to consistent results across multiple projects.FEATURES:Precision-Machined Internal Components: Ensure consistent performance with every use.Optimized Air Cap Design: For broad, even spray patterns that reduce overspray.Responsive Trigger Mechanism: Allows for precise control over air and fluid flow.Lightweight Construction: Improves handling and maneuverability for intricate work.Large Threading on Air Cap: Facilitates easy removal and cleaning.Designed for Low Overspray: Typical of HVLP technology, improving material transfer efficiency.
