LPH-80 Information

[blinddog 99]

I would love to hear more about this gun. I see Coast has them, but nobody else is selling them that I can see. A review or opinion on this gun would be appreciated. I love the Iwata line, and am switching out my shop from Sata to Iwata for the reliability and great atomization I have experience with products like the LPH-400, but I don't hear much yet about this mini-gun. It sounds like a winner, tell me more.

Thanks in advance.

You mean I'll have to throw out my purple touch up gun from Harbor Freight??? Darn, you talked me into it, LOL. I'll call Pro 1 on Monday.....

Yeah, sure, but will you pay my markup, LOL!! Kiddin', I've been wanting one since a read a review late last year. For bikes, helmets, etc., it looks ideal.

Below is some information I got from Dave at Coast Airbrush. I already have a Sata mini jet 4 with a 1.1 tip but I think I will get the 80 with a .8. AL

Al,

I would do your homework before purchasing. The LPH 80 is QUALITY. It is a gun well worth its price tag. One of the best things about this gun is that its a HVLP but allows a much finer atomization at the lower pressures than any other on the market. The unique and wide variety of nozzle aircap setups they offer put this gun at the top of its class. You have a variety of nozzle sizes then you can choose which aircap you would like for what you are doing. The E2 aircap is styled after the technology tested in the many successful years of the LPH50. This is low pressure fine atomizing aircap which allows you to use smaller compressors with this gun. The E4 aircap that is offered allows for an even finer atomizing pattern and a much wider pattern. You maximum pattern sizes with this gun range from 1.6-5.5 inches. One amazing thing about this gun is that it will run off an effortless 1.8CFM and still atomize idealy.SOME BACKGROUND AND SPECS ON THE LPH80. The Astro it is a gun that will work off of 41-44psi and 4CFM. You will find a 4-5inch pattern roughly out of this gun. Only offered in a .8mm 1.0mm and 1.2mm and a decent gun for its price tag.ASTRO SPECS Al, in most all instances with spray equipment and the market of paint alone, the old saying "You get what you pay for" really says it all

Hope some of this information can help you out.
