Like Smooth said, figure out what your gun manufacturer recommends then fine tune it from there.
Some paint and some gun manufacturers have info for specific paint products and specific guns. This is not in the tech sheet. These give you very accurate info and can really help you match the best guns and settings for a product.
But at the end of the day, it is up to the painter to make it work for him. There are no perfect guns/settings for everyone in all scenarios.
I have Iwata AZ3 HTE2 1.3
Yesterday it layed the LS7N Silver Artctic on my Seat perfectly..
When I cleared the base I got a bit of dry spray.. but no big deal..The TDC says 43-58psi in 1.3/1.4 for the clear.. so I went with 40psi.. and got over spray like hell and dry spots..
I will sand and re-clear the whole side again..September 16, 2013 at 2:55 pm #44503Way too high for that gun I reckon.
As you say, the sheet says 2 BAR which is ~29 PSI. Start with that and bump up or down a few pounds to taste.
September 16, 2013 at 4:35 pm #44505The gun is not made to spray at that pressure. What clear are you using
Cheap clear.. Colomix MS 2:1 + 10% reducer..
TDC says: nozzle 1.3 – 1.5 mm, the pressure of 3 – 4 bar.
You can’t find it on the net..
Although cheap it buffs to a great gloss and is easy to work with..
I use it on helmets, headlights etc..I usually spray with MobiHel [ http://www.mobihel-helios.com/eng/products ] and Standox..
This clear? 2-4 bar?
