single stage pros and cons

Making a little more sense to me now. Is there a special paint measuring cup or can you use your mom's measuring cups from the kitchen? Do you have to clean the cup in between the paint, reducer, hardner?

I always got the cups from the auto body supply store that were specifically for mixing, I cant remember the actual fluid capacity. They cost about 25 cents each and disposable so using Moms measuring cup would not be a good idea. You mix everything into the cup, stir it good and pour it into the gun. I never re used them for mixing paint, they do however make great little containers for holding nuts and bolts or soaking stuff in thinner.

Ok, I think I get the mixing thing now.

I've looked into it before. From what I could find, it seems to be Kirker brand paint.
