A former autobody painter here, fascinating how costly sprayguns became with the EPA regulations that forced the manufacterers to go to HVLP sprayguns. I had an old Devilbuss siphon feed spraygun that cost $150 that sprayed beautiful. It became obsolete. Then the good HVLP guns cost $500+ to do the same job. I appreciate the fact that you are willing to share your thoughts on a sraygun that you think does the job.
I have been using this gun with all the evolutions of it in between pretty much since 1982 as a cabinet maker, although it's been a few years now that i haven't spray pretty much anything so i can't tell about this last model. in Spain which is from where i am originally from and also the manufacture 95% of professionals use it, Devilvis is probably my second choice. i still have a 1990 model of it. fully operational.
@jq8792 Don't waste your money, the lph is pure gold. If you wanna speed it up, open your fluid wide open & turn the fan in. The sagola doesn't have the fan pattern size as the LPH400. The reason it seem faster is the smaller fan pattern therefore you will move faster. Now it does feel better in your hands (fit wise) but it's not a superior gun over the LPH.
8:01 you were getting runs all over the place because you said u have the fluid all the way out (you said fluid all the way out and fan wide open 5:00). When i heard you say that i was like "yooo, youre crazy man". depending on temps and the finish you want the turns out are between 2 - 2.5 and psi between 29 - 32.
Are there other ways to slow a guj down and is that even a good idea? For example, i have an Iwata Kiwami4 1.3 and at the normally suggested 29psi, its a hose with more overspray than desired. How low of a psi can you go while still maintaining a decent fan although itll be smaller than at 29psi? Will that also aid in paint usage?
