It is engineered to provide increased productivity and speed for both solvent and waterborne basecoats. Through extensive field-testing and painter evaluations, the LPH400-144LVX has demonstrated superior speed compared to many competing models, consistently delivering an ultra-smooth application without requiring significant changes to the painter's established technique. This makes it an invaluable asset for professionals seeking efficiency, precision, and consistent quality in their daily operations. Its design focuses on efficient material transfer, minimizing waste and ensuring that paint is applied precisely where it's needed, leading to a higher quality finish.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS:

• LVX eXtreme Basecoat Technology: Specifically designed for a vast majority of basecoat colors (90-95%), including advanced metallic and pearl formulations, ensuring optimal results and versatility.
• Increased Productivity and Speed: Engineered to facilitate faster application for both solvent and waterborne basecoats, enhancing workflow efficiency in professional settings.
• Ultra-Smooth Application: Delivers a consistently smooth finish, reducing the need for extensive post-painting corrections.
• No Technique Change Required: Allows painters to achieve excellent results without significant adjustments to their established spraying methods, promoting ease of adoption.
• Low Volume, Low Pressure (LV Technology): Minimizes overspray and maximizes transfer efficiency, leading to less material waste and a cleaner work environment.
• Gravity Feed Design: Simplifies cleanup processes and further reduces material waste, making it more economical to operate.

SPECIFICATIONS:

• Nozzle Size: 1.4 mm
• Air Consumption: 9.8 CFM
• Recommended PSI: 16 PSI at the gun
• Pattern Width: 12.2 inches (310 mm)
• Fluid Output: 120-130 ml/min
• Weight: 1.4 pounds (0.63 kg)
• Cup Capacity: 600mL
• Included in Product: LPH400-144LVX Spray Gun, PCG6PM 600mL Plastic Gravity Cup

HOW TO USE:

1. Preparation: Ensure your compressed air system is clean and regulated to the recommended 16 PSI at the gun. Clean the spray gun thoroughly before its first use or after each painting session.
2. Mix Paint: Prepare your basecoat material according to the paint manufacturer's specifications, ensuring it is properly mixed and strained to remove any impurities.
3. Fill Cup: Carefully pour the prepared basecoat material into the 600mL plastic gravity cup, ensuring not to overfill. Securely attach the cup to the spray gun.
4. Adjust Settings: Adjust the fluid control knob and fan pattern control knob to your desired settings. Start with a medium setting for both and test on a scrap panel to fine-tune.
5. Test Spray: Before applying to the final surface, perform a test spray on a test panel to verify atomization, pattern width, and overall spray quality. Make any necessary micro-adjustments.
6. Apply Basecoat: Hold the gun perpendicular to the surface at a consistent distance (typically 6-8 inches). Apply even, overlapping passes, maintaining consistent speed and trigger pull to ensure uniform coverage.
7. Clean Up: After use, immediately disconnect from the air supply and empty any remaining paint. Thoroughly clean the spray gun components with appropriate cleaning solvents, flushing paint passages and cleaning the air cap, nozzle, and fluid needle.
