I have an Iwata Revolution CR and it doesn't seem to spray as well as what I see in videos. Granted, I'm not WGC material or Dr. Cranky but I need to rule out the machine first. It will leak or foam a bit between the nozzle cap and main body depending on what I'm spraying. Alclad goes at about 10-15 psi and thinned enamels and lacquers at around 20 psi. Mist coats seem to always be to coarse when they dry and wet coats take too much paint and go orange peel too easily.
I broke the brush down this morning and removed the fluid nozzle and needle. In the parts diagram, the packing looks like it would slide out with the needle, but it's not there. The needle is a firm fit in the body like it is sliding through some sort of sleeve but there is no (apparently) removable part in there. It's soaking in thinner right now in case it's all gunked up or something.
Iv'e been known to lose small parts before and will order a replacement packing and needle from TC Global just in case. While on the subject, anyone use the Eclipse? The needle size sounds nice and versatile and the nozzle is a different design.
Thanks.
