[@lewigas290]

The fact that you have bothered to publish a series of informative/educational videos that show us all the changes made to the guns and how they perform and look etc. is something never even contemplated by any other manufacturer and is a massive help/ game changer. Looking forward to the LS400 series 2 v series 1 vid next. Well done iwata/ iwata UK 👍

[@AnestIwataRefinish]

Thank you for the kind feedback. More content on the way - and a variety of content / different topics!

[@jerryhuff86]

Yes ,sir

[@watchthisspacecarchannel6523]

Wow !!!! Outstanding results , I’m in love with these new series 2 Supernova’s

[@AnestIwataRefinish]

Glad you like them!

[@HackMasterBlaster]

Can’t wait to get my hands on these in the US

[@damienwelch9067]

Love the lay down sweet

[@frankartale1026]

Thank goodness iwata fixed this problem. I had an ls400 & ws400 . Got banding in clearcoat with ls400. Never saw anything like that. Then the WS400 was impossible to adjust for me. I went back to a 5000

[@irohclement770]

Perfect finish, nothing sweet to spray Direct out of the box with perfect finish without the need of adjusting the fan settings..i can't wait to buy this Series 2...Thanks Anest Iwata.

[@nancydiaz9489]

Exelente job.,!!!..👍

[@tombair1401]

I have never sprayed with this large of fan but I think I'm gonna try it.

[@tommyvermaak1948]

Great video. Super informative. Between me and my son we have 6 AI guns mostly limited editions. I noticed you spray clear very fast.. Is this because the gun puts down alot of fluid? Also do you guys offer training. tx

[@ANDY-we7mr]

TONY BRILLIANT VIDEO THANKS FOR SHARING THAT INFORMATION CAN YOU USED THIS FOR BASE COAT PAINT IN STANDARD CONDITIONS AND IS THERE ANY DIFFERENCE TONY WITH THE 1 .3 GREEN CAP ET ENTECH

[@ANDY-we7mr]

Brilliant thanks for sharing that very well explained just one question whats blending clear coat paint and what do you think of the anest iwata kiwami 4 spray gun 🔫 1.3

[@AnestIwataRefinish]

Hi Andrew, so on the system in use you blend at the clearcoat stage, not when applying basecoat. Just a simple reversal. The Kiwami 4 is not supplied in Europe. We would suggest choosing the W-400 range, with this the Anest Iwata sales branch in your area will be able to provide assistance and support if needed. Thanks!

[@damienwelch9067]

Great application let the gun do the work 👍

[@JamesSmith-oe1ot]

I just bought a series 1.

[@damienwelch9067]

Love series 2 gun 🔫

[@radudanielman]

👍👍👍👍👍

[@davidrampaul9306]

Hello I want to get a WS 400 series 2 split nozzle. I can't buy 2 separate guns , one for base and one for clear. Do you sell a cap and needle for each application to work in the same gun?

[@ANDY-we7mr]

TONY WHATS THE BEST CAP FOR BASE 1.3 AND THE CLEAR COATE MATE 1.2 OR 1.3 FOR CLEAR CHEERS

[@AnestIwataRefinish]

Hi Andrew, It completely depends on the product you're spraying! In the series 2 videos, we are always using 1.3s! On our website, you can find recommendation charts for plenty of different products. Check here: www.anest-iwata-coating.com/microsite/ scroll towards the bottom! Thanks!

[@richarddupree8720]

Was you Spraying Water Base or Solvent Base in this Video? I spray mostly Solvent and wanted to see if it great for Solvent?

[@AnestIwataRefinish]

In this video, we are spraying waterborne. We typically recommend LS-400 for solvent base coats. We have a video explaining LS-400 Series 2 on our channel 👍

[@thistledewoutdoors3331]

Can't lie , I'm struggling to control Mottling with PPG DBC & my series 1 WS400s..... Still resorting to my Sata 5000s & 5500 for certain metallics....

[@stileunico4223]

Hello Iwould like to buy the new iwata for the clearcoat. but I wanted to understand whether to choose 1.2 or 1.3 better. what do you recommend? thank you

[@AnestIwataRefinish]

It completely depends on what clearcoat system you are currently using. If you head to our website you can find recommendations for multiple applications. Check here: www.anest-iwata-coating.com/microsite/

[@stileunico4223]

Ok thank you

[@rival9417]

Have both clear and base in series 2..still pinching with full fan..and yes i do make sure the split nozzles are aligned

[@AnestIwataRefinish]

Have you checked the pressure? Correct set-up for the material you are spraying? TDS Sheets? If problems persist contact your local sales branch and they will be able to help fix the issue. We hope you get it sorted. Thanks

[@AnestIwataRefinish]

Also having the Split Nozzle aligned helps with tolerance and consistency. It will not completely change spraying characteristics as some people say 🙂

[@rival9417]

@@AnestIwataRefinish I'm painting over 30 years...guns were set up as per spec .back using my gti pro lites ...thanks for the reply but selling the 2 guns I bought ...not for me

[@glbn6832]

could be use this set up for solvent base coat application? tx

[@AnestIwataRefinish]

Hi, your best option for solvent basecoat will most likely be LS-400. You can cross-reference the brand you are using with our recommendation charts on our website. This will give you the correct setup for the system you are using. You can find the recommendations here: www.anest-iwata-coating.com/en/microsite/

[@HackMasterBlaster]

How does the LS400 compare to the WS400 base?

[@AnestIwataRefinish]

The characteristics of both guns will feel similar, however, where they differ is in atomization and droplet size. Both LS-400 and WS-400 BASE serve different purposes, LS-400 is HVLP and WS-400 BASE is compliant. So depending on what paint system you are using, there are multiple options and setups. www.anest-iwata-coating.com on our website we have recommendation charts for most paint manufacturers, this will help you choose what spray gun is correct for you!

[@jamessharr8095]

What set up are you using with this base coat gun?

[@AnestIwataRefinish]

1.3 OBS!

[@Mooncou]

what ratio basecoat do you use and what ratio clear coat do you use?

[@AnestIwataRefinish]

Hi Zolid Tech HD, In all of our videos, both basecoats and clearcoat's are mixed by weight/scales!

[@juangama8824]

Where can I buy this gun???

[@Mike-qo4kp]

Where can I buy this and have it shipped to us???

[@AnestIwataRefinish]

No distributors are currently shipping to the US - the North American launch is in November.

[@Mike-qo4kp]

@@AnestIwataRefinish I am not happy at all with your decision making regarding your new line of supernovas. What did we Americans do wrong exactly? You are going so far as to PROHIBIT UK distributers from mailing units to American Customers?? That is outrageous. I suggest you rethink that decision because I and many others will change brands before we allow a manufacturer to dictate to US what we can and cannot have.

[@M99pt]

I have ls400 1.3 series 2 where is the difference between ws400 for base?

[@AnestIwataRefinish]

There is a big difference. LS-400 is HVLP so naturally has a slightly larger droplet and is used at a lower pressure. WS-400 Base is compliant, has finer atomisation and a smaller droplet and is used at a slightly higher pressure. So depending on the material you are spraying there is an option for all systems. Thanks, Anest Iwata Refinish

[@M99pt]

@@AnestIwataRefinish is possible to make ls400 ws400 base gun ? What parts is need to buy?

[@rezzmack-1092]

No mention of split nozzle and air cap alignment. Hmmm 🤔

[@AnestIwataRefinish]

Hi we cover Split Nozzle Technology / Alignment in these two videos! kzbin.info/www/bejne/f6mslIxqiZt1b6c kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZeqoot9aamab8U

[@2ndbar]

What is OBS ?

[@AnestIwataRefinish]

OBS stands for optimised base coat settings. WS-400 Base (blue air cap), has different configurations for different brands of paint. WS-400 is predominantly used for one-visit base coat applications/ wet on wet! Thanks Anest Iwata Refinish.

[@riccocool]

Series 1-Turn in pattern until air pressure increases- turn out 1/4 turn. Not a big deal.

[@joselinosilva1974]

Borrifo igualmente com Avalon com a metade da metade do preço dessas pistolas. Avalon está virando febre no Brasil.....

[@CT-pb7ds]

Solvent basecoat?

[@AnestIwataRefinish]

Hi, the paints used in this video were Water based! Thanks, Anest Iwata Refinish!

[@illygarcia5002]

Just another excuse to sell a spray I'd be surprise if the make a gun that adjustment itself to temperature, paint type an f distance and air pressure for best atomization performance and results that's a gun worth having!!!!

[@yulianagudelo5576]

Hola me parece una erramienta espetacular les faltava lo digital q bien q ya lo tenga pero la verdad se parece mucho a la SATA en lo digital me devilbiss lo iso más original es mi opinión
