Hi Pete, I started seeing these advertised a couple of months ago, looks they do a pretty good job I might look at getting one sometime down the line , many liked the original W400 and I like the design on this new model , liked seeing the gun in action so another great video Pete
Cheers, they really are an improvement, certainly in the way they handle, I forget to mention they are 25g lighter which surprisingly you do notice, really nice to use, good results and doesn't brake the bank! 👍
I got mine about 3 weeks ago but haven't gotten to use it, but man it's nice. I am glad to see you like it! Nobody had any info on it really when I bought it. I'm in the US.
I Dave, I think they have only been about 2 or 3 months and as far as i know Japan only at the moment, I presume you imported it from Japan? . You'll love it, they took a good solid reliable gun and just improved it, i forgot to mention in this video the new one is 25g lighter which is obviously noticeable as it feels so good, You'll love it when you get a chance to use it, Cheers mate 👍
@@peteshobbies5383 Hi. In this video you are saying in your thumbnail that the Iwata Kiwami 4 is for basecoat but in a different video thumbnail you are saying the Kiwami 4 is for Clear coat and the W400 is for basecoat, so which one is best for the lacquer/clear coat?

Is there a video about your spraying technique, how do you ensure even coating all around on those curves. You have an interesting start stop style of spraying.
Hi Buddy, no, i haven't done a video about my spraying technique as I'm not sure where to start to be honest, i always do motorcycle stuff so they are often awkward shapes with, as you say, lots of curves. I think if there one thing that stands out in my head when I'm spraying it's remembering where you have covered and trying to lay two passes over each area, it is important, particularly with clear coat to get an even amount on but being careful on the overhanging edges to not over do it as some of the sides of tanks are over vertical if that makes sense so will run really easy if too much is applied. It's just practice to be honest, you may notice i put a heat gun on especially around the lower edges of the tank before spraying, this helps speed up the drying process of the coatings and helps avoid runs 👍
You will find you own way in the end, all your trying to do is put an even coating over an object, obviously the shape will mean certain ways of doing something and that will come with practice
Excellent content! Much appreciated.. I'm having a hard time finding a video on 'how Small's an effective spray can be used with this gun (or others for that matter). I need to paint some custom OC's and the metal chassis' are not very big @ 20" Wide x 19" Long x 6" Deep. I see you also paint smallish things like gas tanks and was wondering if you thought this may be a reasonable purchase for my needs? I was looking at some of the mini-guns but they're insanely expensive and difficult to find around here..
Hi Jman, these are really good value for money, you can reduce the fan and still keep a good patern so sounds like it should be ok, a mini gun is the obvious choice but sounds like your ruling that out on money grounds
I just got 1...but it came with a 1.5mm wider needle? The cap says 1.3 but needle 1.5 Wider...is this right....this is a newer gun so I couldn't find much info?

@@patrickpeterman8736 I don't normally use it but it is normally quite dense i think, so something along the lines of 1.8 to 2.0 mm i would guess, the TDS will give you a better idea 👍
Hi Rusian, a very good question, the build quality of both the Devilbiss and Iwata is very good so neither is better in that respect. I really like my Gti Pro Lite buy i would say if you want a good all round spraygun and only one gun, the W400 Bellaria or Kiwami4 is better, the aircap with these is a great universal cap, it sprays base and clear really well, the Devilbiss ideally needs both the TE10 and TE20 caps, the TE10 is ok for clear coat but a bit slow, the Iwatas, certainly in the UK are actually cheaper as well, cheers 👍
So you think Iwata Kiwami4 is faster than Tekna pro with T10? I have Devilbiss FLG 5 it’s good on clear but slow and not so good on base coat. Also has Devilbiss Tekna pro with t10 and t20 For same reason not very happy with it. I know iwata w400 good for clear coat and what to know if kiwami4 is so. Iwata w400 use to be 200$ now is over 400$, not ready to spend that much for clear coat gun only. Thank you!
Yes, i think the W400 or Kiwami4 with the BA4-2 cap is faster than a Gti Pro Lite or Tekna Pro Lite as it is in the US with a TE10, it's about the same speed as the TE20. The W400 comes with many different setups, the BA4-2 Bellaria is one of the cheapest one's, the WB setups are much more expensive and the WBX is the most expensive. I have a FLG5 and it's ok but a bit slow for clear, the ANI F160 is much better and cheaper, it's got a bigger fan, lays clear and base better and faster, a bargain
@@ruslansentipal7292 The ANI F160 is a brilliant preforming spray gun but so is the Kiwami4, the Kiwami4 can hold itself against the F160 very well, the Kiwami4 is better as its better made, they are both better spraying than the FLG5.
