That clear you are using is very liquid, to use 25 psi, my sr2 I use it at least 33psi to 35psi to obtain a mirror result, if I use less than 30 psi, the result is orange peel. I use clear coat hs and uhs, with the uhs I use a little more pressure
The clear was really nice at 25 psi but if I wanted it to be more mirror like I would definitely raise the pressure up a little. The pressure was really good to match the finish of the car. You are right though if you wanted it to lay really glass like definitely would have put it up to around 30 psi.Thanks for the comment!
@@J-SPRAYAUTOMOTIVEPAINTING Now, to simulate the original finish with the micro orange peel if that pressure is good, in my case I do more custom work, than original finishes, so I use more pressure to achieve the mirror finish 😁
@@J-SPRAYAUTOMOTIVEPAINTING That gun has 3 and a half turns maximum of fan, I use it with only 2 turns, and the material if I use it open completely, the work pace is a little faster than normal 😊
@mundotuningcustompaint3488 There definitely isn't one way to use a spray gun and everyone one uses there's differently. That's what makes it enjoyable for me.
I use the series 2 for clear and its a great gun i have the standard version so no digital gauge , i also have a sata x5500 and a devilbiss dv1 , and the iwata is the better gun and is actually cheaper atleast through the supplier i got it from
Your test proves absolutely nothing, except that series 1 can work at a lower operating pressure than series 2. The narrow pattern in the middle clearly shows that the pressure is higher than necessary. The pressure you chose (25 psi) is not any "magic" pressure, but only the one that is predicted for the normal operation of the series 2. This does not prove that the series 1 is bad, on the contrary, it could be said that according to that criterion series 1 is better than series 2, because it can achieve the same result with the use of lower pressure, as well as a slightly smaller amount of compressed air (expressed in cfm). Paint guns are not tested in this way, because the results obtained are not authoritative. You can't compare "apples and oranges" as they say. Better come up with a real test, which will be a real indicator of the quality of these paint guns. One of the criteria can be the result they achieve, and then compare what were the necessary prerequisites for achieving the same result. Then you compare those conditions (working pressure, air consumption, paint consumption, distance from the surface you are painting, etc.). The way it was done seems unprofessional, even from an amateur's point of view.
Thanks for the reply, I paint all day every day and have used these guns extensively. They both work great at lower pressure but the series 1 can only go so low for pressure and still atomize the clear. They are both fantastic spray guns. In my opinion they perform the same but the series 2 is more refined. This is only my opinion and to me I would recommend the series 2. Thanks for commenting!

@@kevinhekers2380 Can't go wrong with the Iwata for sure !
Do some reviews on cheap guns
@@stonebruze1499 good suggestion! I will try
Series 2 is way better love that gun.
Nice video! How much does one of those bad boys cost new? $500, $1000, $1500?
The series one is around 450-500. The series 2 is around 900-1000 😮
@J-SPRAYAUTOMOTIVEPAINTING whoa!
@@J-SPRAYAUTOMOTIVEPAINTING 450-500? where at? Because im seeing it for high $600-$700
You are referring to the series 1 right?@latinprince896
@latinprince896 check out sp supplies series 2 is on sale series 1 is sold out right now

Let me know if you ever have a video of your testing methods and would love to watch!
