Iwata WS400 Series 2 Clear Gun

[@jimprovax6846]

Sweet video as always Kandy Man. That old Iwata reminds me of back long ago with my trusty Binks 7. My how technology has changed. Enjoy your evening.

[@ANDY-we7mr]

I had a old devibliss spray gun years ago spray guns now havd come along way with all the new technology 😊

[@kandyman5315]

Yes they did🙌

[@MrTuberguber]

I've been away from auto paint a bit now, but I've never heard of Iwata. The last gun I bought was a Saata which I thought was top of the industry. i still have my old Accuspray and Sharpe guns.

[@carlosa.martinez6100]

Man back in the day the work horse guns were the Binks Model 7 and Devibiss JGA 502 siphon feed guns. It took a while to get used to the gravity feed guns. I always used Sata Guns when I was working before I retired. I would love to try the new Iwata !

[@SuperMinimadness]

Learned to paint with the Devilbiss JGA 502 used one up until I had my stroke used it laterly for etch primer.

[@lesskinner8588]

Wow, just checked and I still have my VX-707 in the shed. Used to death, but maybe suitable now for some furniture clear if needed.

[@davewallace5008]

Best clearcoat gun by far, I have the WS400 pininfarina model, absolutely beautiful finish. I've just finished my sons Mitzi Evo 8 front bumper and now it outshines the car..lol

[@bladeleo71]

What’s your set up?

[@roccosiclari8422]

I have w400 lph400 very good guns I just got my es series 2 non digital is excellent

Nice old vintage gun! Everything starts somewhere! Yes you need to try it! Great and lovely spray pattern on the Iwata!. Nice review! Great job KM!

You just can’t go wrong with Iwata.

[@Michael-ei3sv]

It's hard for me to say "turn down the gloss TEAM IWATA" knowing in my heart that's what I strive for but, rules are rules. Thanks for the opportunity Kandy Man to have a shot at owning a top of the line Iwata. All the best to you and yours.😊

Hey there candy man I to are a iwata fan have several of them, have been a spray painter for nearly 40years. That vx707 man does that bring back some memories used to use them back in the late 80s - through the 90s , it was a big game changer when the w400 came out, cool stuff man love your channel.

[@kandyman5315]

Thanks for the insight and support

[@Ontheroadbrogymgo]

I think it’s great that your shop allows you to disassemble vehicles so you don’t have lines. Most shops won’t let you do stuff like that. I like taking the time to do stuff right. BTW, what size needle in the siphon? My first gun I learned with was a SATA NR95 with a 1.5 nozzle. You talk about putting it on wet😂!

[@megacab302578]

Awesome work love that you take pride in your work. I would love for you to re paint my sun burnt 06 ram mega cab. Florida sun is brutal.

[@williampribas5093]

Hey Candy Man, I hope you're doing well! I wanted to reach out because I've heard great things about the SATAjet X 5500 PHASER clear coat spray guns and I'm really interested in putting them to the test. I know you appreciate the importance of a flawless finish. From what I understand, these SATA spray guns are designed to deliver incredible atomization, even material distribution, and a perfectly smooth clear coat. The precision German engineering and cutting-edge PHASER technology seem very impressive. If you're open to it, I'd love to get your thoughts on the SATAjet X 5500 and possibly test them out. It would be awesome to compare notes with you on the performance, handling, and end results we each experience.

[@JohnWD40TC02]

Hi Kandy Man, great video again and I'm pleased you like the WS400 Series 2 as it's a superb gun and lays the clear beautifully, I got my Series 2 Digital clear gun when they first came out over here in the UK and it's a total joy to use and it's easy to setup now they have fixed the fan pattern issue👌👍John UK

[@AnhHoang-oo3xp]

Hey John you think twice about the non digital and forked the extra money for the digital right

[@JohnWD40TC02]

Yeah I prefer the digital version for my guns if they are available, I have the X5500 and both my DV1's along with the WS400 which are all digital and never regretted getting them👍

Looks a great gun Kandy Man, superb finish.👏

[@frankartale1026]

I had one of the Sharpe siphon guns. It worked really good but they are wasteful. I had both ls & ws400 the first version and i did not like either. I use a 1.2 5000 rp & a 1.3 3000 rp for clear. I use a Satajet 90 1.3 sl sometimes on restos

[@johnpoccia4981]

[@PaintSociety]

Kandy Man. For your next challenge. Paint a car with the siphon feed iwata ❤😂

[@larryspencer4075]

Funny guy Bryan. I started in the biz before hvlp gravity guns. Those old siphon feeds can do the job just fine for finished product but ya gotta run them around 50lbs and have a tanker truck full of material as their transfer efficiency was terrible. I just got my series 2 ws400 after watching your video. Didn't think the series 1 could be improved upon...I found out different. Series 2 does atomize better for sure and at 23lbs vs 27-28 with the series1. Like your vids brother..keep up the good work

[@deanbrown7643]

Tried a few in my time k man but to be honest didn't really like them , but that's down to personal preference . Not tried the new series but so close to retirement dont think I'll bother 😊😊😊

[@OZ_maddogg]

its a nice gun... think im just going to stick with my old w400 tho... love the video's man, from Australia.

[@camerongrady4644]

im from oz as well , its a nice gun but yeah my wb2 w400 and wbx is just as good imo, yes awesome videos, i have had mine a year now had to get my mate to send it from the uk

[@plantpoweredhealth9383]

I'm using the W400 Bellaria, seems to go great but wondering if either of your guns or the one in the video will be much better as a clear coat gun. Need an excuse to buy another gun..😆

[@alexbirminghan9332]

[@andrejkozelj9890]

Hi there, i am spraying Glasurit with my ws400 series 2 most of the time. What gun settings do you have for the first layer of clearcoat? What is the pressure and do you have fluid wide open? And what is the pressure for second coat?

[@kandyman5315]

Wide open fan and fluid 29 psi both coats. first one faster .second one slower

[@minkbandem8093]

Its doest matter what spray gun you have more time you spend with spray gun and experiance will give you better result

[@kandyman5315]

The gun does make a difference. But you are right about the gun time

[@sayaadsamad5825]

Nice video, how do you think it compares to the dv1 c1 air cap setup?

[@kandyman5315]

It is better. And now my dv1 is my second choice

[@sayaadsamad5825]

Thanks for the reply.

@kandyman5315 if you take the aircap off it should say do not remove around the fluid nozzle tip ...... are they saying don't take off the fluid nozzle ??? Or are they saying don't take off that part it screws into? Or the plate with the actual words on it?
