Has Iwata Really Improved the New Series 2 Spray Guns?

[@GarageNoise]

Iwata definitely has the best atomization of any gun. Totally agree

[@sgtrickards5683]

I used Iwata and Devilbiss when I painted aircraft. Iwata is my favorite, for sure.

[@slackerzsincity8822]

Heres what I think, Iwata should pay you to go and teach the other painters how to use this gun, many bad reviews and dont know how to properly use this gun.

[@Tyler.56]

This series 2 gun is a lot easier to use than the originals. But yes there is for sure a talent to dialing in a Iwata lol

[@tallon3865]

How da faq, can you not paint a decent job with these guns. They literal paint for you. I love them

[@Mcfc2Rich]

Top painter at my work owns both. Had his Evo 1 for 10 years and prefers that. Says the new one feels too big in his hand, I held both and the new one is definitely bigger. I used his Evo 1 for the first time the other day, loved it so much I spent £450 on one as soon as I got back

Hey hey Brian. Thanks for taking us along. The job turned out awesome. Appreciate the time you take and all the tricks and tips.

[@eviljoker303]

Actually,these guns are perfect for novice painters.Much better than SataJets which can be water hoses if not used correctly.I found my Iwata guns to be very beginner friendly.In fact all my guns now are pretty much all Iwatas .Great video as always .

[@bankyankinlive]

Just got my ws400 series 2 and I absolutely love it ....... by far the best gun I've ever used for clear

[@dandee28]

used this gun for the first time today and it atomizes really nicely. Such a beautiful finish. I usually use x5500 for the past 4 years but this is something else!

[@rbuswell]

Great video! I am confused by your warning to not buy these guns if a DIY, novice painter though. It sounds like these guns will save a lot of time, headaches and give consistent, superior results. Doesn't it make sense to buy the best gun and invest the learning curve into the ultimate gun you will end up with anyway? Given the high cost of materials, shouldn't we strive for the best result from the beginning?

[@thunder7073]

You can achieve good finishes with a gun for 150 bucks. These guns are ment for people spraying everyday

[@jeremyoetken2094]

I bought these from the UK when they first came out. They are great spray guns!

[@mundotuningcustompaint3488]

The LS400 HVLP was designed to atomize the droplets of water-based paint, which is well applied wet, which is why the nozzle of the LS400 et green is much larger than the nozzle of the WS400 OBS Blue. I have all 2 and the difference is very big when applying solvent base

[@jamessakimae9655]

LS was developed for solvent and first gen waterborne while the blue OBS was developed for second gen waterborne

[@Sid-07]

Ive been using the series 1 since they've been out, heard all sorts about these guns! I've never had a problem with them. Beautiful guns i dont use anything other except iwata

[@RoguePainter]

See you like the series 2 guns. I did tell you that you would when we got them in the UK. I still prefer the DV1 basecoat gun but nothing touches the Iwata series 2 clear gun for me. Shame we didn’t get the metal pots over here you like guys have. Keep up the good work on the videos :-)

[@jamesfell4793]

The first editions of the digital guns that came out in the uk had faulty gun body coatings. They started to peal off but I think the issue has been resolved and iwata replaced faulty guns. Just something to look out for

[@rcamoonpie648]

And a real painter can take a look at his camera man while spraying!😎 Just pulled the trigger on the base gun. Already use version 1 ws400 for clear and love it. Not really sure if it’s really necessary to buy version 2 on the ws400. Great video 👍

[@mundotuningcustompaint3488]

If you want a good setup on the ws400 clear coat, remove one turn, just open 2 turns of fan and 4 turns of material at 30 psi. It's my go-to setup on that gun using a high solids clear coat, and it's the best gun I've ever used for the clear coat 😊

[@markmikheyev6730]

I used to do that then I found fully open 1 1/2 turns closed worked better on fan

[@mundotuningcustompaint3488]

@@markmikheyev6730 That gun only has 3 and a half turns of fan, if you remove it one and a half turns, it's only 2 turns, and that's the configuration I wrote in my comment 😊😜

1.8 bar or 26psi is what the gun is engineered specifically to spray at though so are you sure lowering it is a good thing?

its about time they bring these to USA,!! one of the cool things they developed is 3 different nozzles you can order gun with for different outside temps like high humidity, dry conditions , or neutral.

I must say just got the LS400 and the WS400 series 2 last week and have not used them yet, always loved the Devilbess Gti's but had to get them after watching your videos about them so next week going give a try and hopefully be my to be gun from now on. Like the videos. 👍

[@mundotuningcustompaint3488]

I live in Orlando, and I have the ws400 clear and ws400 blue obs for solvent base For a year now. And the technical specifications of the 3 models, were taught to me by an iwata technician in Europe.

[@Speakingdatruth]

So interesting your perspective on the Series 2. I know TheGunMan speaks poorly of them saying they are a pain in the ass to dial in. But tbh, he is negative with almost any spray gun that is not a GTI Prolite. I am torn between a Sata 5500 1.3I or a Iwata w400 Bellaria for my clear gun. You mentioned about clear being piled on around the edges and I see that a lot when some technicians spray a super high european 2:1 solid clears with a Sata RP gun. The Sata's with that O Pattern just loves to pile on clear. I am geared more toward restoration/custom work so I am trying to achieve that super flat finish. I am definitely going to look more into the WS400 series 2 gun for clear now. I just hear soo many mix reviews. Thanks Brian

[@franciscoangeles320]

Where did you even get this guns from? I have been trying to get my hands on one of them and I can’t seem to find a website

[@konyandips4707]

I use the series 2 clear gun atleast 3 times a day since they became available. My only fault with the gun is the digital gauge, im already on my 3rd one after a years use. My current setup is fan 2 1/4 turns from all the way in, fluid is 3 1/2 turns from all the way in, spraying at 1.5 bar

[@BryanMiranda96]

I use both base and solvent based on what the client is paying and the WS base spray’s solvent better than the LS base does, it’s more about air consumption and saving materials with the LS guns, no different than satas HVLP and RP, iwata LS is HVLP, WS is compliant like satas RP and most other brands “HTE”

[@mundotuningcustompaint3488]

Yea Because the WS400 Blue is the gun designed for solvent-based, the LS400 was designed for water-based, not solvent-based

[@BryanMiranda96]

@@mundotuningcustompaint3488 no it isn't, the difference in the LS and WS isn't material based, it's based on transfer efficiency, the LS is designed to save as much material as possible, just like every other HVLP version of a spray gun. The point of HVLP regulation is to makeguns that save material for the consumer. For a shop that goes through 100 gallons of clear coat in a month the LS is made to get more of that on the car rather than over spray, the WS is made for consumers that prioritize finish quality and speed over material savings

You speak about a "Double Fan" which makes it easier even for the novice to paint. what do you mean in detail? hopefully not the dry spot in the middle of the fan

[@jotighe2]

great content. big fan for years (before you moved). will you be moving to water-borne, I mean incorporating it into your lineup? it would be great to see you welcome and include it in regular demos. I know it is not popular yet in your area, but it is in other (large segments) geographies. it is the future, and this is the society of paint. the thing is the art of paint: application, technique, knowledge. the move away from solvents can be looked at as the same historical change when we moved away from lead. I love the growth and change. let's get ahead of the curve and look into water-borne techniques.

[@jotighe2]

wow, man. this is nuclear; like splitting the atom. the more I watch, the better it gets. its a real science, and this channel is such a great place to learn.

[@pvkj454]

I have an old Geo FX97 that is supposed to atomize the paint twice. Probably different technology though.

[@jecrpalier]

I have both. They deliver like a sata but they are probably the most finicky guns on the market. Setup must be excellent and on tee or not the best for noobs. I saw that with your base coat. I said it looks like a factory panel not a respray. It looked like straight off a line panel. I have yet to use my entech 400 and ws 400. Still using my sagola. And my old tekna copper. Someday will have some fun.

[@dogemcmoon9644]

If you were to spray base with the ws400, would you be able to tell much difference vs the LS?

[@jecrpalier]

@@dogemcmoon9644supposedly the entech 400 or ls I have the version one. So it hvlp and easier to handle but still the fluid pressure distance and fan issues. They are finicky and they need to be set perfect. More oem type peel imo. Ws 400 is just like u see super fine. Basically hides the result by coming out really like straight off the line panel. Sata doesn’t do that it belts it out. And notice u really wouldn’t need to cut anything as the finish is so fine and perfect not much to do to send it to customer. Really an excellent gun but not really for your noobish guy. The settings as he says really need to be close to perfect or you’ll get run city or just too much build certain areas or dry spot from bad fan setup. It’s too wide factory and needs like 1 to 11/2 turn in

[@jecrpalier]

Bottom line ur gonna get more peel with the entech for mine since I had series 1. Don’t shoot clear with it. It’s a base gun. It’s not a clear gun. Ws is the compliant high atomizing clear gun.

[@Supanova70]

1st time i used the ws400 1st gen solvent gun it was a water hose runs every where. Did you reduce wth activator ? by how much. Also my settings were ,Bottom wide open/trigger wide open and fan 3.5 out from closed fort he fluid.29 psi

Когда показывают новый инструмент, хочется понять разницу с другим инструментом в сравнении. Взять этот краскопульт, взять аналог, но с обычной дюзой и показать насколько отличается качество распыления. И можно ли добиться похожего результата, меняя давление и подачу. В России такая же привычка блогеров и продавцов не показывать разницу. Поверьте, настоящему мастеру не важно какая там дюза, это технологии для продаж. Важно как инструмент работает. Если при одной вязкости материала, и скорости переноса массы на материала на площадь (в цифрах), разрезная дюза даёт мельче каплю без пересыхания этой капли , то это хорошая технология. А если она делает то же самое, что и обычный пистолет на повышенном давлении, но это ерунда. И всё же спасибо за видео
