Paint gun recommendation

AdamR said

Great guns for the money. I have a cheap gun with a 1.8mm tip for primer but use Iwata LPH400-LVX eXtreme basecoat for base and a LPH400-LVB for clear at work.

Not cheap at around $500ea though.

Hey Adam, I'm spraying metallic base today and I love this gun.

The LVB is the purple cap for very difficult metallics. The LVX extreme basecoat is the orange cap which will do most any metallic or basecoat. The LV is the silver cap for clearcoat.

I'm using the LVX and the LV. I use the silver cap for my epoxy and clear, but not regular primer. Cheapie 1.8 tip primer gun for 2K primer and polyprimer. You can't go wrong with this setup. I got the the gun with both caps 1.4 tip for $550 from http://www.spraygunworld.com/products/Iwata/LP400DreamOrange.html Plus you get a Devilbiss regulator and cleaning kit and 1 liter cup.

Awesome deal if you can spring the $$$. It's two for one when you add in the extra caps for basecoat and clear. I'm very happy and Iwata has good tech support via the web.
