HVLP Sprayer Options | Cups vs Pressure Pot

What happens here

Consider the footprint and weight distribution of the spray gun. Gravity feed cups, by being on top, can obstruct the painter's view and make it challenging to access tight spaces, such as the backs of cabinets or inside face frames. Siphon feed cups, located at the bottom, offer a smaller overall height, improving accessibility. Furthermore, the weight of a full cup, especially with heavy waterborne paints, can lead to wrist and arm fatigue. A remote pot system eliminates the cup from the gun entirely, significantly reducing the handheld weight and improving ergonomics.

What they say

Hide

I'm just going to spray a tabletop and I just need to spray all day long like this then either either type of cup will work pretty well but if I need to get into a tight spots say in the backs of a cabinet or something like that and I have that so I always tell somebody to look at the look at the overall footprint of your gun right you've got almost half as much paint in this cup as you do in this cup but you see how much taller the overall uh height of the gun is so you can imagine if I was trying to get this into uh into some kitchen cabinets or something into the back inside the face frame I'm not going to be able to get this gun in there nearly as easily as I can get this gun in there just because of the overall size of the gun so that is a little bit of another consideration too and you guys do have you know a third option I mean you're for one thing you can either choose either a gravity fed or um siphon but then if you purchase like the pro prole with remote PA doesn't that just eliminates then you just eliminate it that's the great thing is not you eliminate the cup so you not only have now a smaller footprint which even is easier to get into cabinets and things like that but now you also have a a larger quantity of material that you so you can spray for longer periods of time without having to stop and refill the cup and I think the the advantage of a remote pot as you can spray upside down you can spray in any direction you want you don't have the weight too so you remember when you're filling up a cup even if it's a smaller cup like this there's still a lot of weight in here particularly with the heavy latex waterborne P paints that we're spraying nowadays and those weigh a lot so when I can remove that weight and put it back on the machine and all I'm holding in my hand is is a gun and two hoses makes it a lot more comfortable for me and ergonomically ergonomic for me as well so I'm not going to get as much pressure on my wrist and my arm's not going to hurt as much at the end of the day so there are some really good information
