Hope you found value in this video. Next we'll be testing this gun with other clears like the fc710 , upol ,and speedcoat clears stay tuned and as always thanks so much for the love and support!

I have a older version of this gun in 1.4. I use it more as a back up gun. This clear is amazing for the money and it lasts a long time. I have a car that i put 3 coats and 6 years later still looks amazing

[@GarageNoise]

Good to know, I've heard good things about the durability. Thank's for the letting the community know your experience with it.

Thank you for sharing! Could you tell me how tough is the clear coat on stones that you may have experienced over the years especially driving on a highway getting hit from a vehicle in front of you? Thank you for your response back in advance!

[@skookum_scrigr]

I love my LT100. I’m not a professional by any means but after learning how to use it on a handful of projects I’ve been able to get pretty flat finishes. I do have to dial the fluid back a decent amount, especially since I have a smaller compressor. I do have to move kinda slow, but slow activator has helped make it possible to do an entire car with it.

[@LuisC202]

Chris, i made a video of my truck. I want to thank you so much for all your help, inspiration, and direction to make it possible. God Bless my friend.

[@GarageNoise]

No problem Luis, that's what the channel is all about. God bless you my brother.

[@charredskeleton]

As a home gamer and a newb an affordable slower gun that’ll run on a small compressor is EXACTLY what Im looking for. I doubt very seriously id even notice a slower gun. In my (rattle can)experience I prep for hours just to spray for a few minutes. Id honestly rather things move more slowly. The overspray/material savings seal deal for me. I’m just doing a few panels to make my work beaters look good from across the street.

[@rohitendrachand7266]

Thanks buddy I'm ready to clear now that I have confirmation

[@alanmccormack67]

Hi Chris, love you videos! My first crack at doing body and paint and I am a senior citizen!!! HAHA! You have been a great confidence booster and helped me a lot. I've got this LT100, I know it can spray clear really nice but am I ever struggling with orange peal. So frustrating, I have gone through a lot of material practicing. When you were first spraying the clear, you said fluid wide open, then at the end you mentioned 3 turns out. I know you almost always start at 2-3 turns out. I am wondering what it actually is. I'm using a PPG Shopline base/clear. Keep the videos coming!. Thanks

[@GarageNoise]

Check this video out kzbin.info/www/bejne/l5qao2OclM6Vodk But if your getting orange peel lower fluid more air pressure. Adjust gradually until you have fine atomization. Appreciate the comment and support!

[@frankrodriguez1977]

Summit sells it for 70 bucks, and amazon for 55, is called sprayit 33000 i love it, there is also a lot of copies, but i guess the guys at eastwood make sure you get a quality gun, awesome video👍👍

[@toycoma98]

The eastwood gun is ok, but the needle sets i got are garbage junk. The holes on the aircap was off centered and also on the airhorns.

[@latenightdiy1496]

Has anyone done a time test on the Finish 1 clear yet? Just curious how long it lasts with sun exposure. I typically avoid the $200/gal clearcoats because the ones I’ve used in the past were normally peeling after 1-1/2 to 2 years. I usually stick with the Sherwin Williams CC950.

[@BearBudgetgarage]

For the money, these R500 variations are well made guns that remind me of an older Iwatta design-wise. And I just used the SherwinWilliams clear for the first time yesterday. Flowed out well. After drying a few hours, it felt smooth and a bit rubbery? I assumeit it will harden more in time.

[@ANDY-we7mr]

Right Chris the Eastwood LT100 gun 🔫 mate or the iwatta kiwami 4

[@GarageNoise]

I like them both! If you have a smaller compressor the lt 100 is the way to go. Straight up which is better? can't say right now . I need to play with the lt 100 a bit more.

Just found you channel. I have some questions about respirators. What should I be looking when buying a repirator ? to paint BCCC ? what filters ? Would you think a full face respirator is needed? And when it comes to single stage Urethanes what espirator is needed ? As you can tell I do not know much. So hoping you can help me me out. Thanks

This is the one I'm currently using comes with goggles and works quite well. I don't always use the goggles but it is a good idea. Single stage and bc/cc same respirator. amzn.to/4cut7Fj

[@GaryMurphy-iz4el]

Paint job looks great! What do you reccomended as a step up from the FC720 in clearcoat for a show car finish?

[@GarageNoise]

Good question Gary! I don't really use high dollar clears. It's been awhile since I've done a custom paint job. When I was doing it years ago I used matrix ms42 got great results but I was putting on 2 coats and then adding 2flow coats. I hear good things about Tamco clears you might check those out.

[@bondovwvw]

I have had good luck with Tamco clear and primer

[@tanker242]

Ever use Valspar V series? I just got their 5L Euro clear for $160. Can't remember if it was the kit price or if I needed to buy the activator too. (Ewe post-covid California prices for VOC compliance).

[@hooshangmaster]

[@hooshangmaster]

@@GarageNoise i use a iwata eclipse and i thin it down so it doesn't clog

[@the1whoknocks275]

Chris, questions about this clear coat. Could I possibly use it with other brands like speedokote base coat? And does it hold up pretty well?

[@GarageNoise]

Yes it is compatible with other urebase coats. It actually a pretty dural clear . I know of vehicles that were painted 6years ago and still looks great

[@Here_we_grow_again]

Urgent advice- laid down they best first coat of clear of my entire life, and I ass bumped the hood. How should I fix it before the second coat?

[@GarageNoise]

Hard to say without seeing it but if there's no damage to the color put another coat of clear on it and correct it with a cut and buff after it cures.

[@nestormoran2812]

Another great video Chris! Seems like the perfect gun for DIY garage projects. One question, how long do you wait to spray the base color after spraying the clear base and do you respray the clear base every time you apply another coat of base color?

[@GarageNoise]

Thanks brother, If it's hot day I don't wait to spray the first coat of color over the clear basecoat. I'll only put another coat of clear base if the metallic orientation looks off. There's been occasions when i would have to put alternate paint and clear base several times . If you do that you must make sure your allowing 5-10 min flash time between coats . Thank's for watching!

[@nestormoran2812]

Thanks for the info!

[@rogeryanez8107]

Nice informative video brother, would you say this gun is better than the orange Astro lvlp gun?

[@GarageNoise]

I would need some more time using it. I wouldn't say better but it depends on your situation ,if your working with a small compressor the lt1 uses less air. Both are good guns.

[@emanuelflores4976]

Is it better than the D1 Drizzle ??

[@GarageNoise]

This is very similar, basically spray the same as the Drizzle. Can go wrong with either gun.

[@jeremyremington8897]

So Maybe it about supply and demand .?. but the napa here was wanting over 200 for the clear.. The other parts store was around the same for another brand.. I really don't wanna order online and wait to finish my car . Did prices go way up since the video ?

​@@jeremyremington8897I think the question you should be asking is if you live in one of the VOC states that have the same air resource board laws as California and New York for products that produce gases. For the same product I've noticed I've had to pay almost 50% more. Some of it might also be due to post COVID pricing.

Upol or finish clear?

[@toycoma98]

I have both LT100 and Summit racing LVLP, they are the same guns, also sprayit 33000, Aeropro R500 and any other R500 spray gun. One thing to watch out for are the air horn holes. My summit gun one hole on the air horn is bigger than the other side (was refunded), and the LT100 needle sets like the 1.5 and 1.7 i ordered the holes on air cap aren't centered and look terrible. Needle sets are interchangable. 3m pps 2.0 S35. Settings Base: 20-22 psi, fan 5 turns from closed (wide open), fluid wide open. Clear 30 psi, fan 4-4.5 turns, fluid 3 turns from closed/2 turns in from wide open. Finish1 for me is tough to cut and buff orange peel but denibbing is great, its the only clear i know and use. I always end up with some micro scratches left after i do full cut and buff 1500, 2000, 3000, compound and polish. Can only see it if you look up close. I dont know if other clearcoats stay kinda soft after a few days but i think i may have pushed harder with sandpaper on some areas causing the deeper scratch. I purchased the 710 to redo my hood, thanks for your tip about using a fast clear to decrease chances of dirt landing to the clear as it dries.

[@GarageNoise]

You are right about the fc720 and it's something I've experienced and forgot to mention. The clear doesn't cure as quickly and will leave those fine scratches ,I believe cause it's still a bit soft. I'm hoping this is correct when I test the Fc710 spot panel clear. I wasn't aware about the guns good info appreciate the comment!

[@toycoma98]

@@GarageNoise 4.0 CFM at 90 PSI, 5.0 CFM at 40 PSI. The manifold regulator it comes with is so slow at recovering pressure. I replaced it with a high flow. Also installed a aftercooler 5" power steering cooler and a 5" muffin fan and a 3/8 water separator before it goes in the tank. Very little water when i drain from the bottom, the 3/8 water separator catches most of it. The pressure is steady when the compressor is on while i'm spraying. It kicks in at 125ish but doesn't drop low enough to cause problems.
