Default Gravity feed ??

I was wondering is it better to have a cap on your gravity feed cup or without the cap? Also do you have to thin the paint a little more when using gravity over suction feed?

a) doesn't matter, so I don't bother with the cap.
b) you actually don't need to thin the paint as much as you would with suction.

With faskolor i hardly ever thin out my paint sometimes with fasblack...but thats only through my hp-c plus for some reason. If you do ever thin out your paint I recomend airbrush medium, it thins out the paint while retaining its adhesive properties and doesnt alter the richness of the color much.

I have never noticed a difference in performance with the cap, but i keep it on out of good habit...i once forgot it wasnt on and spilt a lil paint on a body
