Review on πŸ”« Iwata LPH80-124G Spray Gun with Cup (PCG2D-1) by Rip Twin

air pressure? for spray guns and accessories

I have the Iwata LPH80-124G (1.2 tip) and it looks like a real Iwata and is well built. I'm relatively new to painting, I have a Devilbiss Tekna for most BC/CC's and bought it to help with door jambs and other hard to reach spots in the engine bay. If you use it, the instructions and online materials state that to achieve 10psi in the air cap, it should be adjusted to 7-14psi inlet. It seems odd that the reach allows for less than what is required on the air cap as there is usually significant loss from the inlet to the cap. However, I adjusted it to the higher 14-15psi and it didn't have enough pressure, I had to increase it to over 20psi intake. I'm concerned the instructions say it's too high and will result in a dry spray and I was in the process of spraying my car so didn't use it. I'm not sure. I may be using a 0-140psi regulator so it may not be accurate. I'll eventually try the 0-30 slider and update accordingly.
