Thank you for the response. Newer subscriber/fan here, I'm spraying in my friends industrial paint shop and he is running a twin screw compressor and air drier that will let the whole shop (10 or so) employees paint/sand etc. and I'm usually spraying after hours in an empty shop. I seem to have no trouble with pearls but I sprayed two 1969 cars with metallics from the 60's and had to respray both, I only spray PPG deltron also. I will check out the video that you sent a link for. Thanks again

The Lph 400 with the LV4 cap is the gun I use for clear. I typically run mine at 18-22 psi and it works flawlessly for the clear I spray. I could see needing a little more pressure for a more high solids clear. It is a slower gun at the 16 psi recommended pressure for sure. I may give it a go at the pressure you recommend and see how I like it. I agree that you need to cut the fan in a bit too to speed it up and eliminate the dry edges on the fan. Thanks for taking the time to make this video! I'd like to try the LVX orange cap for some base coat and see how that goes. Some guys say the orange cap sprays clear well too.

Thanks again mate, I'm interested in getting one of those LVX caps now too to see how it goes, Yeah I find it just goes on a bit thick at 22 psi so I prefer 29 psi but its just what works for you and your style I guess.

I love this gun for clear. 32psi with 3 turns out on fluid lays like glass with the silver cap. I don't like the way this gun atomizes base though. It's decent with the orange cap, but you gotta really dial in the pressure and settings to get it to lay right. I can see why people usually use this gun for clear and epoxy only (lays epoxy good with orange and silver cap). I can't wait to get a DV1 to use for base.

I have a Warwick 904HE with HVLP air cap, which is supposedly a Taiwanese copy of the LPH400, and I seem to have to wind the fan in a couple turns to get a good spray pattern, also. I've tried several different combinations of fan, airflow, and fluid flow. It's a little disappointing, but it otherwise sprays very well.

I've been painting with this gun for almost two years now as a hobby. Couple small jobs a month. I'm new to painting and it is my first gun. I spray bc with the LVB cap because it is supposed to help with tricky metallics. I'm spraying at 16-18 psi for base which is actually more than anest recommends and I'm still getting mottling sometimes. I'm overlapping 70%. Any suggestions on eliminating mottling? I let the base flash well and wait longer before clearing.
@TheGunmanChannel

I'd never use this gun at such low psi and as far as I know its not Anest iwata that give setting recommendations but the paint supplier, It's like that with Devilbiss I know anyway. And the recommended settings will vary quite a lot from one paint company to the next, does your compressor have enough power to keep up with 25psi if so give it a try and over the years I found just getting it on with even passes helps a lot. Check out this vid if you haven't already seen it. How to Spray Silver Without Mottle Good luck

Anyone buying one of these, I recommend getting the LVX version with the orange air cap. The orange cap gives excellent finishes on base and clear. The Purple air cap LVB version also works great for base and clear as well. Despite the chrome cap being designated as the clear cap, the orange or purple cap will produce much nicer results. I love mine and recommend it to anyone, especially beginners because it is so easy to setup and use.

Love your vids Gunman. Just wondering if you've had much experience with the W400 with LV2 air cap ? Just painted my brothers Dodge Charger in clear over base Devil Yellow. It came out pretty well, but I found the first coat of clear looked kind of coarse , then after 5 mins seemed to flatten out a bit. I did a heavier 2nd and 3rd coat and went pretty well. Fluid tip was 1.4 , pressure 30 psi(29-43 recommended). Fluid fully out, fan 1 turn in, DeBeer clear 2:1, medium hardener,10% medium thinners. Seemed to dry really quick !Would it be worth getting a Belaria as this gun is about 3 years old with little use. Or persevere with this one and try some setting adjustments . It doesn't seem like a bad gun. Appreciate your opinion!

With this setup it is the most efficient gun I have ever sprayed with the slickest off the gun finish. EDIT: It is easy on paint and on air consumption, fantastic gun.

The only way I can set the pressure to 2 bar is by choking the air inlet a little on the gun. With it full open the reg at the gun it cannot reach this pressure. Im running 10mm hose and nitto fittings too. Any thoughts as my lower quality guns dont have this issue? PS these vids you post are awesome for us amateurs and maybe a "what to do if something goes wrong" vid would be tops. Cheers
