What to Know About Automotive Spray Cup Systems

One of the most consumable products for applying coatings is the paint spray cup system. Since you’re most likely using disposable spray cups it’s important to be aware of how using the right spray cups will save you money. But how do you choose the most cost-effective and high-quality full spray cup system?

A spray cup system is your all-in-one cup, liner, lid, and collar method guaranteeing a paint job is done well the first time, in the shortest amount of time, every time. Experienced painters know it’s not only your skill and technique that produces a successful final result–you need the right quality tools to efficiently create a clean and finished product you’re proud to present to your customers.

An automotive spray cup system makes your prep work effortless. For example, you can mix and measure your auto paint easily in the hard cup after inserting the liner. From there, the filter lid should be placed on the cup, followed by the collar. An easy system like this now allows you to begin spraying all in one process. And once you’re done spraying, post-work cleanup is quick and painless.
