Well Pete, I think I found the problem. I was using a 1.3 lph nozzle in the ws. Once I changed to the 1.4, all is much better. The pattern is more elliptical than the LPH but, it's as large and much more even than using the 1.3. It just wouldn't spray with a LPH 1.3 nozzle in it

-5 here this morning burner packed up in my booth yesterday so cant do any top coat till engineer shows up what an absolute shame I'm gutted 🤣🤣🤣 great vid mate

[Cavalier_Steve]

Another great video Pete, considering you was spraying at an angle you got a very nice finish on that, although it looks uncomfortable and almost kackhanded but you managed to pull it off, nice colour this on as well, I think we can see more on the screen than you can depending on how big you editing screen is, and the finish does look very nice the colour does hide it a lot but you can catch a glimpse of it at the right angle as you was panning over. Cheers mate.

Hello Pete. Well, I tried the ws400 this morning with the LS05 cap as well as the ws01 cap with the LPH400 nozzle and I'm sad to say it's not even close in performance to my trusty old LPH400. Pattern is much smaller and spray pattern isn't close to being as even. So I think I'm done trying to find a better gun that what I've been using for 15 years. The only gun I've yet to try is the devilfish GTI but, I have the DV1 with both clears caps and it isn't as good either in my opinion. It's a fantastic base coat gun but my Iwata LPH400 1.4 will remain my go to gun for clear. Again merry Christmas and a Happy New year. 🤙

Hello Pete, how are you, i hope all is well with you and your family, I've wondered why it took you so long to try the LS400 with clear, I saw the Gunman use his Black Momba( Special edition LS400) quiet time time ago for clear and it looked to give excellent results so while I've really wanted to get the WS400 for a very long time now, and mostly due to monetary constraints, i tried the LS400 for clear and have also been more than happy with the results I only turn up the pressure slightly for the clears from the recommended 26 psi up to 28 psi just to help with the thicker clear versus base coat, but all in all I still want to get the WS400 but I'll just get the series 2 as the tip alignment is where is suppose to be, but I'll just keep the original LS400 as I find it does a nice job with base, loved the video, seeing your pattern test I might revisit the idea on my LS400 just to see again because its been a while I don't remember it being to bad at all, worth checking out to make sure. Cheers Mate

Hi Peter its a like from me hope your ok mate and well andy yes I like the series 2 the best built in gauge straight out of the box application pete mate I think i stick with my kiwami 4 1.3 heard nothing but great results and views on you tube the quality is outstanding just a, great gun 🔫 strange that gun like WS400 the the fluid cap is at a angle

[Rikats]

Hi Pete!

Thanks for another great video. Does LS lays base much better than WS base gun?

Also, in your opinion what’s the best Iwatas gun for base? LS, WS, WBX400?

[davidray]

Hey Pete, glad you put up another video on the meiji. Question. Do you think k the ls400 05 cap is a better cap for clear than the ws400 01? Been so busy painting for other people lately I haven't had time to do any testing.

[jakeevans]

Hi Pete, what’s the main difference between the ws400 obs & the ls400? Just the fact you can spray at lower pressure with the Ls?
When would you use either gun?
Thanks! Your videos are great

[JohnWDTC]

Hi Pete, well that was a surprise I wasn't expecting the LS to lay clearcoat that well mate it looks really nice even though as you say it's the wrong colour us professional painters (cough!! cough!!😁) can see that the clear is really flat, you mentioned that the LS uses around 16CFM which is the same as the X5500 I'm assuming you mean the HVLP and not the RP as my RP is fairly good on air🤔

Had to laugh when you said about things being a bit stiff at your age mate, I'm older than you and at my age certain body parts are not stiff enough so looks like your doing ok mate🧐🙈😂
Thanks again for the message today Pete that was very kind of you to ask🙏🙏👍

Hi! I'm from Quebec Canada and I wanted to let you know I really appreciate your work, it's really helpfull ! I have a question for you, i'm looking for an Iwata ls400 Supernova and i'm wondering if with a 9.5 cfm i will be able to run it ? I work with a R500 AEROPRO and i have just enough cfm to run it. What do you think? Do you have any other suggestions ? Thanks in advance and best wishes for the new year to come ! :)

[Jaimerga]

Hello Pete. Do you think that version 1 is much better than version 2? Would it be an unnecessary expense?

[Vic-ghvx]

Pete I’m interested in the LS400 for base not sure if my compressor will keep up
Would like to get your input before I buy it
I have a 5HP 2 stage Quincy compressor rated at 15.2 scfm @ 175
Not sure what cfm at lower psi. I can’t get that info even from Quincy anyway I’m a new subscriber I really enjoy your videos keep them coming great work by the way.

Thank you from California 🤙🏼

[gentlerowdy]

hi great video - is LS 400 & LS 400 Super nova the same ?

[thecarpfather]

I've a dedicated primer gun that I use for top coats too I was using as a base and lacquer aswell but looking to buy a dedicated base clear gun what would you recommend and am I best getting one for clear one for base I always thoroughly clean my guns cheers

[thanhnguyen]

Hi Pete is this genuine ls400 ?? I want to buy supernova with green knob with 1.3mm for base and clear and also this gun can swap any type cap for special base paint like metallics & pearls ??

[bankyankinlive]

During my research before buying 2 of these guns i noticed the ls400 has a green or gold cap option ... can you explain the difference in the two or which one you think is better to control mottling on mettalics and pearls

[wheeltango]

Hey there Mr Pete, I am wondering...Which numbers and letters are stamped onto the fluid tip, and which aircap is it? I have one that has "ETS" stamped on it, but I've read that the one that has "ET" is a bigger pattern. Thanks

[davidray]

I think what you have there is the LPH400. I received the Ls400-05 cap and can't wait to see how it sprays clear on my WS with the lph400 1.4 tip and this cap. Merry Christmas Pete and I'll be in touch once I try it

[Vkustom]

Hello Pete,
Is this spray gun good for basecoat on motorcycle (Harley Davidson). I'm wondering about fluid pattern width is a little big.
