Thanks a lot zarbat thats what I wanted to know. I found this starting line by devilbiss kit that comes with a topcoat gun and primer gun. I really only want the primer gun out of it for the 1.8 tip but it comes with its own caring case, two paint cups, PSI gauge, and some cleaning brushes for about 150bucks. Then ill use the LPH for my base/clear.
with the lph400 do you guys think the result are better if the air pressure is hi or low for spraying clear? I dont mind taking a while to lay it out if it works better with low pressure.

[quote]thanks man i think ill be alright then. itll keep me handy for these few jobs ill be doing and also once i get into the shop. next gun ill get is probably a Devilbiss GTi and then a minijet.[/quote]daily devilbiss tekna user and its a great clear gun with the 7E7 cap but kinda tricky for metallics, the 202 cap makes metallics flawless.

25 psi is the average I’d use with LPH-400 depending on clear.I stay around 20-24psi for clear. Much more pressure than that and you kind of defeat the point of using an Lvlp. It just generates alot of uneeded overspray / wasted material. You just have to get used to spraying super close 4″ or so away from the panel at the lower pressures that they recommend.
i spray clear at around 19-22psi. only time i might go up to 25 or so is if its super cold in the shop and the clear is really thick.
that’s guys. I will try it at 20-25 psi ruffly and see how it goes.
