Anest Iwata LS-400 Series 2.1 Basecoat (HVLP) Spray Gun (Digital/Non Digital) (1.2-1.5mm, ET/ETS Nozzle + 600ml Cup)

Anest Iwata LS-400 Series 2.1 Basecoat (HVLP) Spray Gun

The Anest Iwata LS-400 Series 2.1 Basecoat spray gun represents the evolution of one of the most trusted tools in the refinishing industry. Engineered with HVLP technology, it offers superior transfer efficiency and material savings while handling both waterborne and solvent based basecoats with incredible ease. At its heart lies the signature Split Nozzle 2.0 technology, which provides ultra fine atomisation and a consistent, uniform spray pattern. This ensures that even difficult colours are applied smoothly, resulting in a flatter finish, perfect colour matching, and fewer reworks on your jobs.

Designed by the iconic Pininfarina studio, the Series 2.1 body is built for ergonomics and comfort, reducing fatigue during long sessions. The gun is available in a variety of configurations to suit your specific climate and application needs, including ET nozzles for standard environments and ETS nozzles for dry or hotter conditions. You also have the choice between the standard setup or the digital version, which integrates the DPG 1 digital gauge system directly into the body. This gauge allows for precise pressure control without adding bulk or compromising the balance of the gun, ensuring that you can achieve the perfect outcome every time.

This spray gun is also available as part of the Limited Edition Twin Kit Bundle!

Choosing Your Specification

To ensure you get the best performance from your Anest Iwata LS 400 Series 2.1, it is important to select the correct configuration for your specific painting environment and personal preference.

Digital/Non Digital

• Digital Model: This version comes equipped with the DPG 1 digital gauge system integrated directly into the spray gun body. It provides real time, accurate air pressure readings, which is essential for perfect colour matching and consistent results. The gauge is quick detachable and maintains the perfect balance of the gun, ensuring that you have precise control without adding unnecessary weight.
• Non Digital Model: The standard version is for painters who prefer a more traditional setup. It is lighter in the hand and relies on a manual air regulator. This is the preferred choice for many professionals who are already accustomed to using a standard air pressure setup and want a simpler, streamlined tool.

Pro Set vs Eco Set (LS-400 Base)

When spraying waterborne or solvent-based basecoats with HVLP technology, dialling in an exact, stable inlet pressure (1.8 bar) is critical to prevent mottling, control metallic orientation, and guarantee an accurate colour match. The LS-400 Base Series 2.1 is available in two kit configurations to suit your workshop setup:

Pro Set (Recommended for Ultimate Colour Consistency)

• Gun Choice: Available with either the Digital or Standard (Non-Digital) LS-400 Base gun.
  
• Integrated Pressure Control:
  
  • Digital Version: Includes the quick-detachable DPG-1 Digital Pressure Gauge, providing real-time pressure feedback right at the gun without compromising balance or ergonomics.
    
  • Standard Version: Includes the HVC Analogue Air Regulator at the gun inlet.
    
• What’s Included: LS-400 Base Spray Gun, 600 ml Gravity Cup, Pressure Regulator (DPG-1 Digital Module or HVC Analogue), Universal Spanner, and Cleaning Brushes.
  
• Best Suited For: Painters seeking maximum control over difficult metallic, pearl, and one-visit basecoats, where maintaining precise HVLP working pressure is essential to eliminate haloing and material waste.
  

Eco Set (The Essential Basecoat Kit)

• Gun Choice: Available only with the Non-Digital (Standard) LS-400 Base gun.
  
• Pressure Control: Not included (no DPG-1 module or HVC regulator).
  
• What’s Included: LS-400 Base Spray Gun (Non-Digital), 600 ml Gravity Cup, Universal Spanner, and Cleaning Brushes.
  
• Best Suited For: Painters who already have dedicated hose-end gauges or calibrated booth regulators and want the advanced HVLP atomisation and paint savings of the LS-400 at a lower entry cost.

ET/ETS Nozzle

• ET (Standard) Series: This is the ideal nozzle type for standard climate conditions found in most professional bodyshops. It is designed to provide a perfect balance of speed and control, delivering a consistent and even spray pattern that handles most modern basecoats with ease.
  
• ETS (Dry) Series: These nozzles are engineered specifically for dry or hot workshop conditions. In environments where the air is very dry, paint can sometimes dry too quickly, leading to uneven results. The ETS nozzle helps manage the paint flow more effectively in these challenging conditions, giving you more time for a smooth finish and preventing common issues like mottling.
