Review: Great gun - I have been using the DeVilbiss starting line guns with decent success on base coats, but the clear was difficult to get right. After reading multiple reviews all over the place, I decided to upgrade. I was amazed at how easy this gun at low pressures could deliver so much clear coat. At about 27 pounds and 3 turns out on the flow, it laid out the clear with very little orange peel. It took a couple passes to get used to it, but it works really well. So best setup so far is high solids clear, 4 : 1 with hardener, 2.5 turns out on the feed, and a medium wide spray pattern....this is with the 1.4 mm that comes with the gun. Very light weight gun, too, easy to clean. Note that you will need a cup with a female tip. Review: This spray gun is the real deal and not a knock off!!!!!! - First let it be known I am not a professional auto painter but I do spray a lot. Over the years my friends that do spray for a living have told me that this gun is the best on the market for spraying clear (this one with the silver cap). All of them use the 1.3 needle instead of the 1.4 that comes with this gun. Not knowing if this is a knock off I called one of my professional painters and asked if this gun was a knockoff. He said that it looked like the real deal but would not know until I got it in hand. So I ordered it along with the 1.3 needle (part number 93897600). After I received it and before I sprayed I took it to him to look at. After he compared it to his guns of the same type he said it looked and felt like the real deal and also of the green hologram on the gun that is not shown in the listing on desertcart. He then said the real test would be to spray with it because he could here by the sound of the gun and by the fan spray if it is the real deal so we changed needles to the 1.3 and sprayed some clear. He then said that it was the real deal!!!! He set the gun up and told me to use between 20 and 22 pounds of pressure to spray at. Since then I have sprayed clear and wish I had bought this gun years ago. This gun with the 1.3 tip is very forgiving compared to my other guns that I used in the past. Now you have a lot of overspray but I will waste paint verses fixing screw up or sags. I will never use this gun for basecoat or anything else but clear. Bite the bullet and buy this gun if you want the best gun for clear!!!! You will not regret it!!! Plus my professional painters have used there guns like this one for almost 10 years without a issue. (Just clean as soon as you are done!!!!) Also even used they bring good money. Hope this review helps and trust that this is the real deal!!!!

Think they're sent from an Amazon fulfillment center. One time they sent me the cup instead of cup and gun, so had to reorder ... but the guns are definitely genuine iwata. And they rule. **Q: If i purchase this gun, would i be able to purchase the orange and purple caps seperately and use with this gun?** A: Yes you can use the orange caps and purple caps with this Iwata. And it’s fully compatible. I use mine in a production auto collision shop and I paint about 15 cars daily no problem. I would use the orange cap for metallic color and even clear lays it out slick highly recommend. **Q: my bad i figured it out customer error..what size cap does it have though??** A: If your question is 'nozzle size', the one I have is 1.4 mm. **Q: Is this genuine iwata or a knock off??** A: If you buy from us (aToolCrib) it will certainly be Genuine Iwata. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great gun *by D***R on January 2, 2017* I have been using the DeVilbiss starting line guns with decent success on base coats, but the clear was difficult to get right.

Jerry ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The devilbiss was used on clearcoat on Porches and it turned out fine. However *by B***H on November 6, 2015* This gun outperformed the gun I was going to use on my car called the Devilbiss FLG4. The devilbiss was used on clearcoat on Porches and it turned out fine. However, i had plenty of mistakes and I had to constantly adjust my technique being it was my first try. It seems as though the devilbiss did not atomize as well as this iwata gun. I am extremely pleased with this gun for that reason. Let me just say that on my very first try with this gun, after i did my settings, I sprayed perfect clear coat and perfect base coat with a 1.4mm tip. I literally jumped up and down (not recommended) in the paint booth in happiness. I would definitely own another one of these guns with the same tip size so I don't have to clean and mix again. Although this item came from Japan, 5 business days to get to me after i ordered it on a Sunday night. Which means it arrived at 7pm on Friday that week. I am extremely satisfied and I will definitely recommend this product to anyone painting their car the first time. ## Frequently Bought Together - Iwata - Lph400-144Lv Gun Only (5550) - Iwata - Pcg7Dm 700Ml Aluminum Cup (6033E) - 3M Accuspray Air Flow Control Valve, 16573 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/20284824-lph400-144lv-gun-only](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/20284824-lph400-144lv-gun-only) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
