Anest Iwata IWA9273 Impact, 2.0 HVLP Gun

Machspeed · Nov 11, 2023

I was looking around for a somewhat cheap primer gun with a 2.0 tip and came across this: Anest Iwata IWA9273 Impact Spray Gun

Anyone familiar with this spray gun? I can't seem to find squat on it.

That is the Air Gunsa. I have two of them. Got them for $100 each about 7 or 8 years ago. They are more than that now. Sprayed pretty good but didn't last anytime. One failed after one session. Other still sprays OK but I can't get the cup off the gun. YMMV. I haven't bothered trying to find replacement parts for either, I have tossed them aside. My main primer (2K urethane) gun is a Sata that I've had for 15 years.

One cheap gun that sprays decent and lasts for a while is the Vaper line of guns available at Northern Tool. Shine turned me onto them and I have used one for poly primer quite a bit. It's decent and about half the price or less of the Air Gunsa. Use a Northern Tool coupon and you can get $20 off the price. Speedway Motors has them as well. I think that is where I got mine. For 2K urethane the 2.0 nozzle would work well.

Thanks Chris! From what I'm reading, thinking this may be something a little different than the Air Gunza, but like I said, not finding a lot of information on it. As to the Vapor, I seen several recommendations on it. Thanks!

It's the air gunsa, they just changed the name slightly. Part number is the same. Maybe they've improved it. IDK.
