FAQs
What type of spray guns is this cup compatible with?
This cup is designed for gravity feed spray guns that have a 3/8" male thread connection for the paint cup.
How do I attach the paint cup to my spray gun?
Simply screw the cup onto the compatible 3/8" male thread on your spray gun until it is snug. Do not overtighten.
Can I use this cup with all types of paint?
Yes, you can use it with various types of paint, but you must use the appropriate solvent for cleaning based on the paint type.
What is the capacity of this paint cup?
The cup has a capacity of 600ml.
Is the plastic durable enough for a bodyshop environment?
The cup is made from strong plastic designed for durability in regular use. However, it may be less resistant to damage from harsh chemicals or extreme impacts compared to metal cups.
How often should I clean the paint cup?
It is recommended to clean the paint cup thoroughly after each use to prevent paint from drying and becoming difficult to remove.
Troubleshooting
Paint not flowing to the spray gun
Ensure the cup is securely attached and the spray gun's air cap and nozzle are clear. Check that the cup is not overfilled, which can impede flow. Verify the spray gun is functioning correctly.
Leaking from the thread connection
Check that the 3/8" thread is clean and free of debris. Ensure the cup is screwed on firmly but not excessively tightened. Inspect the threads on both the cup and spray gun for damage.
Difficulty cleaning the cup
Use the recommended solvent for the type of paint used. Soaking the cup in solvent for a short period may help loosen dried paint. Use a soft brush for scrubbing and ensure all residue is removed before drying.
