What happens here

The selection of a spray gun feed type can sometimes be dictated by the specific coating or user preference. For instance, automotive metallic finishes are often sprayed with gravity-feed guns due to their unique properties, though the presenter notes personal success with bottom-feed for such applications. However, for most standard finishes used in woodworking and cabinet applications, there isn't a strict requirement for a gravity cup; the performance difference is negligible for typical use. Therefore, the choice between gravity and bottom-feed for these common finishes largely comes down to individual comfort and preference, rather than an inherent performance advantage.

Goal: The video clarifies that while some specialized finishes, like automotive metallics, may traditionally require gravity feed, most standard woodworking finishes do not necessitate a gravity cup, making the choice often a matter of personal preference.

have to use a bottom cut well there's some products that have to go through like that amount of stuff that we would spray has to be to the top really because i've sprayed automotive metallics and that never had a problem out of the bottom yeah okay so there might be certain instances where you have to use gravity but for the most part most of your standard finishes that you're using in woodworking in that you don't need to use gravity but most kind of sorry is that a conventional air that you're talking about hbop yeah it's a specialized metal flake finish that he's talking about but yeah it's a very specialized finish yeah but typically you don't need to do that it's really a preference things most of the guys that you see using gravity feed guns in woodworking have gone down to their local automotive shop and picked up an automotive spray gun and that's what they're using and that's why because typically in automotive that's 199 of the time they're using a gravity with a top feed okay um all of our systems are back the precision 5 comes with a 5 year warranty we've got specials running right now where we've got a whole setup we're giving away an extra spray gun so you can get if you're looking to get a system we've got a uh not only the one gun that comes with it
