I never sprayed out of an Iwata before but if I were to spend $300-$500 on a gun it would be a DeVilbiss GTI or a new SATA. The SATA RP in my opinion is one of the best clear guns out there. And the GTI is good all around, but I prefer it for base. Again these are just my opinions.

yes the devilbiss gti high volume low pressure(HVLP) strickly for base,and the devilbiss plus reduce pressure (rp) for clear, awesome setup and goes for around $450-500 with both guns,a case,a cleaning kit,and 4 fluid tips from spraygunworld.com, but honestly the best gun(opinional) alot painters are using is the iwata LPH-400 HVLP, the gun is super light compared to the devilbiss, which is a million times better when doing overall paint jobs, you wont get tired,and the iwata LPH-400 sprays base and clear not to mention its a HVLP, and the clear lays like GLASS, but a long story short get a iwata its about $400 buck(spraygundepot.com) is where you can get them,and its a great gun.

Iwata LPH-400. I use that for clears. For base I use a cheap Astro EVO4014.

The Astro I bought a couple years ago for $150.
