LPH400 IWATA SPRAY GUN

[@dlouque]

I just inherited my brother’s LPH 400 LV 1.4 with the chrome cap.He’s had that gun for 20 years and I plan to use it to clear my El Camino. I also have his SATA RP base gun. He passed away suddenly two months ago and it will be an honor to use his guns.

[@kandyman5315]

Sorry for your loss

[@eviljoker303]

This was my main gun for everything except primer for many years and it’s still rocking .After using the Satas and my Tekna for awhile with waterborne,this is again my main base gun since we switched to solvent with the orange cap and 1.3 .It’s a great all around gun

[@kandyman5315]

Yes it is thanks for the feedback

[@davidparker9676]

The LPH400 was one of my first quality guns when I got serious about painting. Now I have all the big flagship guns of the major brands, I still like to use the LPH for smaller jobs like hoods, doors and fenders. It is a little bit slow compared to my other guns but never disappoints when it comes to the finish. I recommend it to any painter and especially to new painters for a great do-it-all-gun.

[@eapauto]

You seem to do an excellent job no matter what gun you’re using. You sir are definitely one of the best.

[@kandyman5315]

Appreciate the support and thank you.

[@davidparker9676]

A good painter can get a good finish with almost any gun, it is just a lot more work with lower quality guns.

[@dejantodorovic5706]

I switched from Sata to lph400 and immediately sata was gun for primers and fillers... 400 is beauty :) ,and great work man ..

[@kandyman5315]

Appreciate the comments 💯👌

[@juanmata2433]

Awesome job Kandy man. I feel u crush it with any gun u use! I put down my sata’s back in 2000 and never turned back. Iwata has been my gun of choice ever since. The orange cap was my work horse for many years! I’ve made a lot of money with it. Still use it for sealer and solid colors. I’m actually about to re-kit it soon.

[@kandyman5315]

Appreciate the support

LOVE that gun! Used it for five years now every day. Keep it clean and it will produce for years.$$$

[@kandyman5315]

Great to hear 👍 thanks for watching.

[@spiropittas5477]

Personally I always preferred the silver cap for clear with the lph400 💯💯👌🏽

[@davidparker9676]

Have you tried all three caps? The orange seems to be the favorite and the purple is the best kept secret for laying clear like glass.

[@JohnWD40TC02]

Very nice finish the LPH400 looks like it lays the clear down really flat. I don't have an LPH400 but apart from the tulip nozzle it looks the same gun as my W400 Bellaria🤔👍 John UK

[@davidparker9676]

The Bellaria is a great gun, The W400 guns are illegal to use in body shops here in the USA because they are not EPA compliant. The LPH400 is basically a modified W400for the North American market. Cheers M8!

[@AlphaKiloAirsoft]

I would love to see you spray some base coat/sealer through it. I bought mine for base but it seems like most people get better use out of it for spraying clear. Great video regardless!!

[@dredfxcustompaint]

Iwata is my go to for clear and airbrushing great video man thanks for sharing 👍

[@judepeterrodriguez9507]

Nice paint job.. i like your gun. For some reason i dont know if any one of you notice it look like the door near the handle has a dent? It feels wierd.not sure maybe its just the shape of the vehicle?

[@solventbased3153]

this gun is the best base gun hands down and the silver cap is the best all around gun especially for single stage and clear

[@kandyman5315]

💯

[@Kustompaint2026]

Have the same one but only with a 3.1 tip & orange cap, it sprays clear pretty good but it does leave a little peel not too bad & usually spraying around 25 psi

[@davidharrison8397]

Nice job. I have this exact same gun....I'm thinking of getting the purple cap.....I've heard it lay's the clear like glass

[@kandyman5315]

💯

[@davidparker9676]

Absolutely right. LVB cap is great at atomizing the clear and base. It is a well kept secret.

[@frankartale1026]

I had this gun and it used more clear than my sata 90 1.3sl did at the time. It depends on what you spray & how you use it. 24 spi, i never could have sprayed that low unless the clear was junk . Like chromabase 600 from back in the day 😅

[@kennethandersen6920]

Hi there..how are your settings when using the purple cap..i bought that cap some time back but can figure out the massive fan it makes..any tips on using the gun with this cap??

[@3rekoatskustoms929]

@kenneth andersen I haven't used it much, but for me turn all the way out they in until the trigger moves and then adjust the fan. I do motorcycle so I don't need a big fan.

[@joshuavallot8921]

I have that gun too, same size tip. Its my clear gun and I prefer it to the newer supernova series Iwatas.

[@kandyman5315]

Great gun for sure 👌

[@davidparker9676]

The supernova is such a finicky gun when it comes to the settings, once you get it dialed in it is magical. The LPH400 is very easy to setup and use, parts are plentiful and cheap compared to other guns.

[@stephenwhite5444]

Awesome videos man! What would you use for painting a show car? The DV1, LPH400, or WS400 series 1? Im looking to get one of these used. I dont care about speed, i just want one gun that I can spray pretty much anything.....single stage, base, clear, epoxy, sealer, primer.....the flatter the better so save on sanding lol. BUT, i dont have professional ventilation so would like to minimize the fog as much as possible. Since you have so much experience with various gund, do you have thoughts on it? Merry Christmas!!! 🎄🎁🎄

[@tonydiesel3444]

I bought lph 400 in 09 for clear works okay for OEM finishes it is slow 1.4 I went back to my w400 1.4 lv4 it's a bit faster and can handle the heavier clears

[@rcamoonpie648]

Nice video 👍 Just need some clarification on model numbers on this gun. I mainly shoot all overs in single stage and base. Kinda overwhelmed with all the different guns available but I’m seeing the extreme with the 1.3 and wondering if that’s the same one you are demonstrating? I use the ws400 1.3 for clear and love it. I like a little slower gun but not too slow. Any thoughts on tip size in that gun for what i shoot? Thanks for the input 😎

[@kandyman5315]

Yes it is

[@gillesanglehart5300]

With that exact same setup if you up the air a bit or/and turn off the material knob a bit do you think it can lay down flat?

[@kr2513]

I appreciate the your coverage on this. I've had mine for 4 years as a dedicated clear gun. I have to say I read almost the full pdf from iwata and this gun is sort of an LVLP it was saying. But since epa regulations don't recognize that term (in their infinite wisdom) so they just call it an HVLP. What pressure did you spray it at?

[@kandyman5315]

Thanks for the insight. I sprayed it at 24 psi

Great to see you trying out different guns you could make the harbour freight purple gun look good keep the content comming brother ( Arther) 🤣🤣

[@kandyman5315]

[@davidparker9676]

The purple Harbor Freight gun is surprisingly good (sometimes).... it just doesn't last. It is assembled with silicone sealant that breaks down and don't try to take the gun apart or else it will never work right again. Those guns cant be beat for costing less than $10 on sale with a coupon. Definitely a one or two use gun before you throw it in the trash. The solvent to clean it costs more than the gun.
