I spray used farm impliments and occasionaly something better and the only gun I have ever used is a DeVilbill Finishline I bottom cup and it does a fine job for me. I use factory paint. I'm considering replacing it with a Finshline III gravity feed ($150) on the belief it is easier to clean and I am already familiar with Finishline. I don't want to spend $350.
Is the cleaning aspect true? What problems does a gravity feed pose when you twist and turn to paint farm impliments? Should I stay with bottom cup? I like DeVilbiss becasue it works and I can get parts but am open to suggestions.
Any advise appreciated since you guys forgot way more than I know.

I think if I were doing that type of painting every day I would keep the gun you have and get a 2 gallon paint pot that you can put all the paint in at once and finish the entire job without refilling. I just painted a white 271 disk with your type of gun and I had to fill the cup about ten times. That is a lot of taking off your respirator, glasses, gloves, you know. A lot of wasted time. That way you could mix your paint in a batch all at once and get a nice consistant mixture too. I think most paint or industrial suppliers, including places like northern tool and harbor freight carry them. Good luck.
