Hello Sir, your attention, and your passion definitely show in your videos. I’ve learned a lot about spray guns through you, and greatly appreciate it. Your videos have helped me to make some great choices, in a very short time, and I couldn’t have done that on my own, thank you. You keep ‘em coming, I’ll keep checking them out.

Another great comparison! What i understood after watching most of your vids is that getting good working conditions, like heating the workpiece, the clear, have a nice cleaning routine, a clean workspace and ofcourse adjusting the spray guns and having the skills (and the compressor) to use them right for the settings is almost as important as the spray guns quality, that's why i think more expensive spray guns aren't "needed" to get the job done but if you are a professional, they can guarantee that you will deliver the same results every day even when the conditions aren't always optimal.

Hi buddy, You are 100% correct. All the preparation work and particularly air quality is the most important part. You can have the best spray gun in the world with the best clear coats but if your air quality coming through the line or your panel isn't prepared properly you will not get good results, its guaranteed you will not. That's why in a few of my air filter videos, I stress how important it is to spend money on air quality over the quality of the gun, it really is important. You summed it up perfectly, very much appreciated, thank you 👍

Thanks and keep them coming! Cheers

Thanks again pete , I'm sure you've helped many people out with your vide 👍👍. ~15 years ago the 1st versions of these guns and a devilbiss pro were my whole setup! . I bought the w400wb to use for metallics and the ws400 for clear/solids ... I soon figured out that I'd wasted my money buying the ws , not because it was a bad gun , but the wb sprayed clear etc just as nicely . For honesty , the wb would still be my go to for most things!

The WS, WBX, and WB will all spray clear as well as each other, which is extremely well, the manufacturer likes to pigeon hole everything as it make the consumer think they need all of the kit which they just don't.

Hi mate, I hope you are well. The C2 cap speeds the DV1 up from the C1 and still gives a good finish. You are the second person on the comment list to prefer the DV1 C2 over the WS400, presumably because the WS is a little slow?

How do you like the DV1 compared to the WS400? I’ve really been wanting to get the DV1 with the c2 cap. I’m currently using the sagola 4600 1.3xl clear cap. I like the gun a lot but just wondering what else is out there.

@peteshobbies5383

Hi buddy, the DV1 with the C2 cap speeds the gun up compared to the C1, I personally think the WS400 atomisation is slightly finer, but it's slower , certainly compared to the Sagola DVR Clear 1.3XL they will both feel slow. Not everyone wants or likes a fast gun, so it depends on you 👍

Hi Pete, very enjoyable video and a great comparison between the two guns👌as you know I'm a bit of a WS400 Series2 fan boy but it doesn't surprise me one bit that you can get just as good of a finish with a gun that's half the price, we all know that it's way over priced but like you I had to have one🙄🤭both guns did a great job on the clear and as you said you can't split the two on the finish but you can on the price🤔 I think the Series 2 gun is now available in it's full range in the USA Pete as I saw a review of it on Brian's Paint Society YT channel, I didn't quite agree with some of his findings and setup advice but if it works for him then who am I to say different, you might want to give that video a watch Pete😁😅 Thanks mate👍

I'll try and have a look, but I watch very little KZread these days as I just don't get much time too. Cheers, buddy 👍

Nice vid mate…..personally I’ve never had a problem with the mm2 airdry hardner….just a very light dust coat then a final wet coat (tack n wack) works for me…..definitely less is more kind of thing…..maybe worth a try 💪💪

Hi buddy, I've never used it, only the fast which I use at anything above 10c really. I mentioned the air dry as people contacted me on Instagram with varying problems they were having with MM2 after my clear coat comparison video. One of the things that keeped cropping up was that most were using the air dry. Maybe it was a dodgy batch or something, or maybe it just doesn't suit some people. I get on with the MM2 ok although I prefer the Kapci 6030 at that price range. Thanks for watching, mate. it's always much appreciated 👍

One of the best videos I seen very well explained thanks for sharing that information series 2 iwata w400 ment to be a cracking gun 🔫 so is the kiwami WBX 1.4 as well is that right pete the iwata with the blue cap not for base coat paint its the green one with the cap 😅

Just a footnote for you Pete. Multimix is designed not to have thinners added, and is made for UK market so about 20 degrees ambient. Either the thinners and heat the atomisation will be greatly enhanced for both guns

Hi Tony, Yeah, I did realize that, but I've found it gives a better finish with a little thinners, well, the MM2 anyway. I did a clear video trying out 4 different clears, all without thinners and all under the same conditions and around 8 people messaged me on KZread but mainly Instagram, many don't get on with the MM1 or MM2 at all, think I said in the video. I've found the Kapci 6030 to be better all round than the MM2, to be honest, so I doubt I'll be getting any more, cheers mate, appreciate your help 👍

@peteshobbies5383

5 ай бұрын

You are always going to struggle to power a bigger gun with smaller compressors. The LPH80 uses 2.2cfm, and the lowest consumption of bigger guns is going to be almost 4 times that amount. Take a look at the Kiwami4 BA4J. It's around 7.8cfm at 29psi and give good results, more money than they used to be, but still good value. The ANI F160 is good value but uses more air, so it will be more difficult for you to power

Hi Tim, Yes mate, all good here. Thanks, desperately waiting for the arrival of spring to make painting a little easier in my workshop 😉. They are both excellent, with the WB being a slightly less fierce version overall, so it will depend on your style. Both work well with waterbourn paints, helped by their split tip, and again, they won't have a problem with UHS clears I get all my Japanese stuff from paintingtooljapan, and they are very good, I get any Iwata parts I need as well, so they are available if you need them, I contact them via there Instagram page as the price is often a little cheaper, I presume because they don't have to pay ebay fees. I have had to pay duty sometimes , being in the UK, it's VAT that you pay rather than duty , hope this helps 👍

Hi mate, I keep getting asked this, and it's really difficult to give an answer. I am working on doing top 10 base and clear guns videos and then I will have to sit down and gather all the information, off my head there is no top gun for either as there are many good one, certainly the WS400 Series 2 will be in the top 3 clear coat guns 👍

Pete, according to Iwata the Kiwami4 WBX is specifically designed for waterborne paints. If that's true why does it do such a great job with solvent clearcoat. Any idea as to why this is the case?

@peteshobbies5383

5 ай бұрын

Hi Sataman, I'm really not sure why they market it like this. It's a better clear coat gun than a waterbourn base coat gun. Sure, it will do waterbourn paints fine, I think that's down to the split tip, waterbourn tends to be thicker and harder to atomise, so the tip helps break it up on exit but the same properties also suit clear coats. I'm sure it is all down to marketing. We are being pushed down the waterbourn route for obvious reasons, so I think it's just the manufacturer taking the correct line. The W400WB or Kiwami4 WB are again marketed as a waterbourn gun but in the UK there are some being sold in kit that come as a pair, one having "Clear" factory etched on it, which is no surprise as the WB is also an excellent clear coat gun. Cheers mate, hope you are keeping well 👍

Hi Stepan, It's good to hear you're still enjoying the videos, I know I go on a bit, but most seem to like it 😀 Yes, you can swap the tips over without any problems, you will notice a slight difference as the 4 split is slightly slower, that's assuming the air holes around the centre of the tip are the same, of course, worth a try to see what you think, cheers mate 👍

@brooks.5849 All the split tip guns are relatively slow , the Wider4L is no exception , it air consumption is not far off the WBX in the real world, most would probably want to up the pressure to 1.3 to 1.4 bar and then your up with the WBX air consumption wise
