Anest Iwata LPH-80 Review & Demo

[@stephenwhite5444]

In the video you said "I'll get 10k views on KZbin!".....and here it is 4yrs later with 66k views! Great job with your channel man.

[@angel85lx]

FYI the lph50 is the same body just with a side mounted cup. I like it better for the fact you can add less paint and rotate the cup to always allow paint flow. less wasted in my opinion. I do mostly paint as a hobby and small parts so when I can save paint, clear it's a plus for me.

[@AndyTaylor_Paintguy]

Nice one, I've been waiting for this video since I saw the unboxing. I've been using an LPH80 on the little stuff for several years now, love it!

[@BobbyGeneric145]

Andy Taylor is there a dekups adapter available for it?

[@antoniostuppia900]

i ve been waiting for this video from long time maybe 1year+ and this Morning i saw you Just uploaded It, tought I was still dreaming. thank you gunman

[@susanjef]

Another great video Gunman. I am a wood finisher by trade and its your videos that have inspired me to try spraying with automotive solvent base paint, keep them videos coming!!

[@julianp.1713]

Congratulations with your KZbin success.....I do have to say it took me a few episodes to catch on to Bonnet and Bumper Bar and a few others. But it's all good!!!

[@davechesters7041]

Happy 401st video...most informative painting videos around, no bull, no adverts. 👍

[@jimmyers2543]

401 great videos keep them coming, learning something new all the while and love your honest approach to your reviews if it is junk you call it junk.

[@jasonevans6720]

Gunny i absolutely love my LPH80 to bits try using it at low pressures it still performs very well

[@mikesradguitars]

I know this is an old video but trying to learn more about this gun after a couple years using it. In the video it looks like the gun is set to 29psi, the manual says 7-14psi. What’s the advantage to using higher or lower psi? I’m spraying very thin shellac with the lph80, I was thinking I wanted to get a faster gun for clear lacquer but maybe just raise the psi? Please forgive my ignorance on this subject, I’m very much a novice. Thanks!

[@jasonevans6720]

@@mikesradguitars Hi, pressure is your friend you can control the orange peel effect with it so you can spray thick or thin materials, I always set the pressure as high as ican without the spray pattern mist becoming hollow in the centre

[@mikesradguitars]

Thanks so much for your response, that tip about the the hollow fan pattern is exactly the kind of explanation I can use. Is it possible to give an equivalent guideline for when the pressure is too low? Am I correct in guessing that the advantage of high pressure is that it speeds up the process? And low pressure slows things down? In addition to what you said about controlling the surface/orange peel like you said?

[@efpig]

Hi Chris. Feel your pain with the doors. Been there, and still not totally happy with mine. I adjusted my hinges so often I managed to strip the threads in several of the A post captive plate bolt holes which didn’t help. But I re-tapped them for larger bolts which I would recommend for more grip. As to all the inevitable paint chips and scratches, I’m totally in love with my little Iwata LPH80 mini spray gun for precise repairs. It’s not cheap but it’s amazingly precise and controllable with every type of paint I’ve thrown at it, almost like an air brush when dialled right down. One of the best investments I’ve made. You might like to check out the reviews. Cheers

[@stephenfoster4255]

Just brought a iwata w400 1.2 wbx to replace my sata 5000 1.3 rp. Very excited to see what all this Honda jazz malarkey is with iwata 👍👍

[@HankScott]

Congrats Gunny on 3 years and 400 videos! Regarding the eventual comparison of miniguns, I agree that price is an important factor. Most of us don't have unlimited budgets so we want to know what's the best tool I can get for my money. Thanks for your effort - I know that it takes work to shoot and edit these videos!

[@matthewd422]

+The Gunman What sort of ballpark pressure where you running for the clear @ 3:20 ? Just got one of these, still trying to find the money zone for clear... Absolutely love the gun for small work, also love your vids!

[@gabitoxp]

i love your work mr gunman :)

[@JP-bd2jf]

I was wanting to see what you think about the opinion on the Eastwood Concours Pro kit with that many touch-up gun in the full size if that many gun will spray cerakote and metallic

[@theriver8524]

Do you think this would be a good gun for painting custom bicycle frames? Can it handle paint with flake sparkles in it or would I need a primer gun to do sparkles? I am hoping to pick one good gun to do primer, paint, and clear coat. On a budget but want to do quality paint guns myself. Thanks for your video and time!

[@memphosfinest]

Can. You make a video of how to prep and do clear coat blends

[@ph11p3540]

I have one of these for spraying large models where airbrushes can't lay down the desired coat of paint without hiding fine details.

[@TheGunmanChannel]

What pressure do you run

[@joshcohen6305]

The Iwata LPH80 is 1.8-2 CFM and they say you can use the Iwata Powerjet Plus compressor because of that… so What compressor are you using here?

[@stefansk8]

Hello, how does this compare to the AZ4 mini gun?

[@creativesymon]

How the hell did you not get a step on that tiny fix!?!?! Amazing work. Would be great to see a vid on tiny things like that.

[@LXCScaleCars]

Hey @thegunman I'm looking into buying this gun soon. When I go into the website to order it it vies me options for the air cap. One is the e2 air cap I believe and the other option is the e4 air cap. I was wondering what's the difference and which one I should go for. I'm using the gun to spray clear on plastic mode cars thanks.

[@vitaliyromny5204]

What connecting solvent for varnish in yellow gun?He is diluted with lakom?i in what proportions?

[@stuartsmalley2868]

looks like a great gun going to order 0ne soon .great video mate.

[@markbrown1609]

Blooming good video mate.

[@marty3553]

These videos are brilliant

[@davidelliott7936]

hi gunman.you hear a lot of people saying that sometimes you get a nice finish and sometimes not so good and they can't seem to get the setup right on their gun.a lot of painters don't seem to bother with viscosity cups and keeping the products at room temperature. it's surprising what a difference it makes by using viscosity cups to check the thickness of the paint before you spray and it makes setting up your gun much easier.how about doing a video on the subject.there doesn't seem to be much out there on the subject.great watching you gunny!!

[@TheGunmanChannel]

I made this vid a few years back. I think I'd do a better job today but you may find it interesting. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rH66i5tjo7FkiKM

[@ThePoleLine]

thanks for all the vids dude

[@andreeagabrielastafe8166]

Hello, Could you please recommend an oil-free compressor for this spray gun? I want to use it for pastries. Thank you.

[@Thedjcodeman]

spraying at 29 psi? The air cap says 18 psi max though?

[@Boats29]

Have you tried the W101? its kind of a in-between gun that isn't a mini or full size gun. I am interested in taking it for a burn.

[@johnnytapia7844]

Would this be a gun food for spraying panels for pinstriping? Looking for a decent gun to start with...

[@crookedcopblock4836]

Could I use it to paint a really small car in sections at a time? I’ve never painted and I was thinking about painting like 1 or 2 fenders at a time. Or is painting in sections bad? I found one brand new for super cheap. Thank you

[@icervoid]

Hi I do not obtain a large pattern as yours. I work on scale aircraft modeling at 13 PSI with a LPH-50 / 0,6 . What happens ? TY

[@ivantieu6764]

Got the lph-80 recently, sprays better than my ws400 supernova!?

[@markf378]

When you narrow the fan to spray the clear what psi do you set it at?

[@rolermiles_tm7]

thanks for the review, do u know where i can buy those 70ml cups? they don`t sell em stateside or in japan. any help would preciated

[@ikatz001]

Can this gun spray catalyzed clearcoat no problem?

[@hotwaxgarage5628]

I have a Devilbiss SRI PRO Smart Gun with a.8 cap. What is your thoughts between my gun and this Iwata

[@GaryTaylorvw]

Hi I’ve been offered a Anest iwata LPH-80 smart repair spray gun and I’m unsure to buy it or not, it’s genuine and good price just the guy closed up shop, would this gun be good for a full car?

[@anthonya8586]

Thanks so much for the awesome reviews! Quick questions now that you're using the higher end mini guns does the ANI R150 mini compete? If you were trying to get almost no orange peel out of the gun which one so far comes closest?

[@TheGunmanChannel]

I think they are all capable of top results in the right hands, the main thing is striking the balance of build quality and price if you ask me. This is a stand out the gun in the mini range because it is so precise and even with a 1.2mm tip it atomises the paint very fine, it would struggle to do larger areas, though, really just a touch-up gun.

[@anthonya8586]

The Gunman Thanks for the response Gunman I really appreciate it!

[@7ZurdoOfficial]

Hey gunman love your videos i just started recording some videos im Wondering what do You use to récord what camera and mount ? Thanks mate

[@stevejoelmenalarios5873]

Thanks for the review, can I paint candy or metal flakes on a helmet with that gun?

[@Harolddespui]

Could you comfortably doing motorcycle parts with it (tanks, fenders etc) or is it a tad too small? The very low air usage is a big plus for use at home with small compressors.

[@shaunnormancroft]

yes use mine for doing motorcycle tanks.

[@edg7368]

I have a mini jet in 1.0 and want a gun that will give a smaller fan with Chromabase. I never used Chromabase with anything smaller then a 1.0 tip will it spray with a LPH-80 .8 tip and if so how small can I get the fan with a good atomisation?

[@edg7368]

I decided to just buy a new one so I could get it in 1.2.

[@miguelmartin124]

great job...watching in los angeles. california.. will be nice if everyone post ther location ...so u could see how u impact the world

[@mickholgate3347]

hey Gunny, can you do a review on the Iwata W101 mid sized gun??

[@armory3379]

Hi Gunman, do you have any idea, how to apply thermochromic paint, or heat sensitive paint reaction? Thx

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Sorry, but It's not something I have experience with.

[@MrCbell57]

I wish I could justify buying this gun! Thanks for your video.

[@serhiipysarenko8778]

What type of head do you use E4 or E2 ?

[@DansRestorations]

awesome video man. im entering the collision repair industry, finishing up my last month in college. what do you recommend for a spray guns for entering the field. i already have a devilbiss gti.

[@TheGunmanChannel]

FLG5 is a good gun at a reasonable price. Is the GTI a pro or pro lite? or just the original GTI? what air cap do you have on it, is it the 110?

[@DansRestorations]

The Gunman it's the original. I have a 1.4 it also came with a 1.3 and a 1.5

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Themechanicman92 The original are still decent guns but the pro & pro lite are a big step up. I always used mine with 1.4mm 110 air cap.

[@DansRestorations]

The Gunman what would you suggest for primer? would you say the original gti for base and the pro or pro lite for clear?

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Themechanicman92 Yes that'd work, there's a few good options for primer, FLG5 1.8-2.0, ANI F150 1.9 or Airgunsa AZ3 1.8-2.0

[@RoboCNCnl]

Happy YT birthday :)

[@Velvethamma]

Nice work

[@marcchantal5016]

Hey Gunny could you tell me what last grit paper to use to get a panel ready for paint? Thanks in advance from Dallas Texas. Do you recommend to do a dry or wet sand on a panel for paint.

[@TheGunmanChannel]

I've found 800-1,000 grit for a blend area and 500-600 for areas that you will be applying colour is perfect, that is if dry sanding. If wet 800 for colour areas and 1,000-1,200 or grey Scotch Brite for blend areas. I prefer dry sanding but if you're not experienced then wet sanding may be the best way to go, it's a bit more forgiving but a little messier.

[@marcchantal5016]

The Gunman Great! Thanks for the quick reply.

[@tamimbenguettat]

hello The Gunman , i can paint my new bumper with this mini gun? i will take small compressor for 1.5 hp.

[@alexandrer6860]

Great demonstration ! Mini gun !

[@jdwilley77]

Hey! So I got this gun reading it could use the Iwata airbrush compressors but anytime I hook it up it initial sprays heavy but then the pressure drops to nothing. Could it be the hose and compressor? Set the output to 25 psi and the gun gauge doesn’t even read above 7. Thoughts or advice? Should I grab a bigger compressor?

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Yeah man, an airbrush compressor won't run much more than an airbrush.

[@jdwilley77]

The Gunman thank you! New to airbrushing in general but snagging a bigger compressor tomorrow!

[@jakescolorstudio2829]

hey bro, had a problem with some Single stage paint today. Can you denib and polish PPG Delfleet Essential paint?

High flow for most purposes, although you probably wouldn't need them for this gun. I run the Prevost Euro style fittings.

[@TheGunmanChannel]

Yes, absolutely

[@aldotorres6627]

@@TheGunmanChannel okay that’s all I’m trying to use it for

[@nunyayourbusiness7327]

is it worth the price difference over the ani

[@TheGunmanChannel]

I'd say yes but it would depend on what you plan on using it for, the ANI would be more suited to larger areas but this gun has a very small air cap making the fan very small but at the same time more precise than the ANI. This is basically a big airbrush, ideal for small spot repairs, touch ups, wheels etc.

i have a few questions. is primer and primer sealer the same thing or is it two seperate things. im helping my dad paint a truck, he is experienced in automotive painting but doesn't speak english. im not even an amateur, so i dont know most terms used in this profession. the owner of the truck bought lesonal primer, base coat and clear. i dont know if base coat is referring to the actual paint and color. also the papers with the basic instructions say how to apply the primer surfacer then sealer which leads me to believe its two separate things and applied in layers like primer, sealer, base coat then clear. so i asked at a store how to apply the primer and sealer, they told me prime it, sand it, seal it but have to paint within 4 hours, which further leads me to believe it two separate things but in all the materials the owner bought, there isnt a container that says sealer, just primer, hardener, reducer, activator, base coat and clear, so i think he didn't buy the sealer or the store forgot to put it in, or i dont know if the sealer is mixed in with the primer already, but like i said, i dont know anything about this thats why im asking.
