      After thoroughly stirring whatever it is you want to spray with a paint stick or a drill with a stirring attachment, pour it through a strainer into a bucket.

      Connect the air hose to the sprayer. Hand-tighten the connection securely. Connect the end of the hose coming from the sprayer unit to the connection on the spray gun.

    • 3

      Pour the paint or fluid into the gun cup. Close and latch the gun cup cover. This will secure the siphon cup.
