Thanks Ryan 🙂
Dave, thanks.
I also hate the cleanup for the metal cup guns since you have to do tit right away and the amount of thinner the cleanup takes. I know there is a "gun cleaner" solvent available, but it costs more than the lacquer thinner I use.
I bought some cup liners (HF) for my 1 qt. cups, basically a plastic bag that fits into the cup that helps a lot, but still need to clean the top plate on the gun so there is that.
The DeKups are also nice to switch from primer to top coat. The lacquer I use (precat) and the primer dry fast.
Primer (vinyl sealer) dries within 30 minutes for a quick pad sanding with 220, then the lacquer top coat. With two cups I can spray primer and leave it in the gun, prep for the top coat, then a quick flush with thinner to clear the gun. Install the cup with the lacquer and finish up. I can then repeat it all the next day if needed and the capped cups are still fresh and ready for use.
