I've been using my Sata NR95 and 2000 for all these years, been thinking about trying an Iwata 400 LPH next. The descriptions and numbers for guns are a bit confusing, though. I almost bought a LPH/LVC/LVX gun on ebay, but it was a 1.5 tip. wasn't sure what the application was for...I believe the LVC meant for clearcoat, but I haven't heard anything about using a 1.5 tip, most are 1.3 and 1.4. Also, do I really need a different cap set for base vs. clear? I do a LOT of custom paint, like candy and pearl. Would one cap set work for both? or really need 2...and what tip size and "color" cap would I need to do these paints?
Man, to just be able to return to the old Devilbiss days.......much simpler!

I agree with you. I'd love to go back to the old siphon fed days when there was only a few good guns to choose from.

I use the LPH-400 and I like it. I have a 1.3 and a 1.4. I like less fluid coming out with the basecoat, and more fluid for the clearcoat. I think a 1.5 is too big. I think my Sata gun has a 1.5 which I use for primer.
I'm sure you could go with just the one gun and one setup...not for sure which I'd choose. Probably a 1.3. You may want to buy a gun with two setups so you can try both and see which one you like as an all around setup

You'll love it!!!
I use a 1.3 for base and 1.4 for clear

Even though I have SATAs, I really don't like the way the handle feels when spraying.
