Hey guys. Long time lurker, looking at two different "packages". I've mostly painted frames and undercarriage with a little paint and body, which has become a lot of full restorations. On previous projects the HF & 3m guns were up to the task, but now I need an adult gun.
I have a W400 that I really like, and seems to fit my style and speed, unfortunately it developed an issue and being my only decent gun, stopped the project. I'm rebuilding that gun, but also buying a back up or step up while I'm at it.
With that in mind, I'm a slow and deliberate shooter, that needs top quality results. I called Iwata and they helped me with the following options.
option 1. LPH400-LV 1.3, LVB air cap, LVX air cap, 1.4 nozzle. Gives me a bunch of options, plus the purple for metallics is attractive as I plan to do flaked roofs in the future. This package is $780
option 2. WS400-1301, plus OBS Nozzle. This gives me a top of the line base and clear gun, but missing the dedicated metallics cap like option 1. This does not give me the option of 1.3 and 3 caps, plus 1.4 and three caps. Simply 1.3 for base and 1.3 or 1.4 for clear depending on what I order. This option is $868.
I'm down to these two options. For those of you that have shot these, which way would you go?
The price is close enough not to matter to me. I don't desire a fire hose, so leaning towards 1.3 vs 1.4.
