Well, you can both take solace in knowing that you both operate on a whole different plane than the rest of us mere mortals.
Yeah but other than being somewhat literate, it's all I gotWell, you can both take solace in knowing that you both operate on a whole different plane than the rest of us mere mortals.
If you were to dye the two the same color, ask me to work 'em both and pick the best, I couldn't.

You know you`ve worked in the body shop too long when your moto is "I can do it over 3 times faster than most people can do it right the first time".A job worth doing is worth doing over...

Body Shop really puts a date on ya. Now their Collision Repair and Refinish Centers.
Well now that’s about as cool as cool can be!
Painted a truck bed hangin' from a tree once. It gets the job done.
...er.... the truck bed was hangin' in the tree... not me.
Very cool, Starlight Black with a gentle misting of Candy Apple Red overspray..... Now I don't have to worry about trying to pull a fresh paint tank off the old one iff'n I want to shoot 2 in one day.

FWIW, the DeCups system is more user friendly in the re-filling/adding departmentWhat a day....
Got a late start. You know... honeydo's. Got the paint room nice and clean... then couldn't figure out (remember) which tank was in there ready to shoot. Finally found a clue on the tank upstairs. Can't get paint out of the front mount holes...

So it's the blue tank on deck. Got it shot, but man what an ordeal.... all self inflicted of course, but painful nonetheless. I learned stuff about the new throwaway cup system.
First thing I learned is when you invert the gun to remove the cup... invert the damn gun, dumbass. Held it sideways and kinda bent the gun and cup apart... like breaking a stick. That make sense? So the cup and gun both end up upright. Tossed the cup and went to push the gun on the next cup. Soon as I inverted the gun, paint went everywhere. Holy fuck.... you have any idea jus' how much paint is left in just the gun? Musta been at least a gallon. OK, maybe not that much.... but damn did I make a mess.
Next thing I learned is you can't add thinner to a mixed cup. Started shooting and decided the paint needed a little more thinning. Well, you can't pull the lid off a cup. Well... you can actually... but it ain't pretty. Yup, 'nother mess to tend to. But before cup and lid went their merry ways to opposite sides of the room, scattering... you guessed it...'nother gallon of paint, I tried adding thinner with a funnel. Nope. The screen in the lids is so tiny, the thinner didn't have enough weight behind it to pass through. I guess when the gun's sucking paint, it's the low pressure that pulls the paint through. 'Nother mess.
Anyway... blue tank is shot. Was tryin' to shoot both in one day... but I'm bushed. More mentally than physical... but that's enough for one day. Red one will have to wait 'till tomorrow.

FWIW, the DeCups system is easy to add product to. It uses a cup, a soft plastic liner, a lid and a locking ring for the cup. To add product you just invert gun assembly, squeeze trigger to drain, remove gun from cup (1/2 twist), unscrew locking ring and remove liner lid by peeling it back. Easy Peasy except you still have to mix your product in a measuring cup and then strain into the gun cup.What a day....
