Hello guys, I just purchased an Iwata LPH400. I was reading the one page manual and it states 1.3 bar for ideal atomization. Im going to call 19 psi. You guys setting your reg at the gun (trigger pulled) this low ? It seems guys are using 26-28 psi (trigger pulled). Thoughts ?? Thx!

Here is a video of that gun, from The Gunman, very legit guy in Australia.
He goes over his settings at about 1:40. He said 2 bar, which I think is 29 PSI.

I have seen this video. Yes perfect. I think its actually 28. Thank you.

My set up:
With the gun empty, back the fluid control knob out all the way out. Pull the trigger full open and hold it while turning the fluid knob in until it contacts the trigger. Release the trigger and turn the knob inward 1/2 turn.
With air pressure at the wall about 100 PSI, here's what I use, all set with trigger pulled wide open:
22-23 PSI for epoxy and base coat.
26-27 PSI for Clear coat and single stage
You want to hold the gun about 4-5" from surface and use at least a 50% overlap.
Having a piece of masking paper taped to a wall, allows you to do a 1 second test spray to be sure your pattern looks good, with full coverage and consistently fine droplets (no runs) throughout.

When Barry asked me to try out the Speed Clear, the pressure recommended for the LPH400 was 28psi. With my setup, there is about a 4 psi difference in pressure between simply air flowing and air+fluid flowing on my LPH400, so I have to see ~32psi with air flowing to get ~28psi while spraying.
