2. I just spent over 100 dollars and just used it without thinning it and wasted my money , I thought I was the same as the can,
3. needs a flexible straw that is weighted at the bottom.. Then it'll get to where the paint is no matter how you hold it.
4. Brain derp lol can I use my own air compressor for this dip gun? It could save me like 80 bucks get back to me ASAP please thanks! 
5. It makes me so happy that companies like YouTube give people with Down syndrome the chance to try to help people out by letting them make videos

7. You should watch a good painter someday. You fan the gun and take quick uneven passes. Try to make passes at the same speed to give good coverage, overlapping each pass 50%. Keep the fan at a 90* angle to the surface throughout the entire pass. Try to cover larger sections on each pass to minimize the overlapping areas. With each coat, try to change the overlap area to a different location.
   
   Try painting like the robot machines at the factories do. That is basically how I do it and they program the robots to do it right. I like to start on the roof of a car to minimize the over-spray on areas already painted, as it tends to fall, unless you use a cross-draft booth. When outside start upwind. Using slower solvents and a properly adjusted Accuspray paint gun will reduce or sometimes eliminate the need to worry about over-spray. I am an old-timer, however since about 1989 the Accuspray models 10 and 11 (pressure feed guns) were the best all around paint gun you could buy. Iwata are awesome for candies, pearls, tough metallics and smaller areas.
   
   The Accuspray can't be beat for dumping it on fast, like glass with minimum over-spray. Accuspray 10 will make almost anybody a good painter... 3M makes the Accuspray now, which I have never tried the new disposable tips, air caps and plastic bodies. I hear they work great and are cheap to buy...
   
   I was in the body business for 30 years, a body tech at one of the largest GM dealerships in the country where I was rated top in the nation nearly every month when I worked there. I averaged between 2-3 complete paint jobs per day, it was an incredible feat to score 100% many times with an average score of over 98%. Usually I blew all others away, it wasn't even close. Rating was done using the 40 question GM customer satisfaction survey required for GM shop
   certification. Most of the best techs are lucky to average over 85% with many scoring in the 60's.
   
   Don;t be offended, its just constructive criticism. :^) I have been a perfectionist since I was a little kid and It sucks. It takes much more time but I cannot do any job without doing the best that I can. I have tried to do quickies and it doesn't work, I can't allow myself to take short cuts... Even with my comments don't take short cuts... fuck me.... I need to stop this shit....
8. Trick:  you should start out with a smaller siphon cup...or one that is taller so that there is less area at the bottom to drop the feed level down.  OR...if you have to use that big wide cup...drop a displacement ball(heavy enough to sink, and big enough to displace a good amount of fluid...golf balls work great for this...but using one bigger ball will minimize paint cling and clean-up) just BEFORE(to avoid spits)your material drops below the siphon  Or...go to to the auto store and get some plastic tubing that will extend the siphon tube.  Also...I do not care what they say ALWAYS clean your gun (spray some straight solvent through it)when you are done. No real painter who expects longevity out of a gun would tell you to "not clean".  It is SO easy and quick that it is foolish not to do.  I NEVER leave a gun dirty or sitting.  Get an extra cup that you keep the cleaning solvent in and just attach/spray till gun sprays clean. when job is done do complete clean.  anybody who says 'do not have to clean' wants to sell you another gun!  No excuse EVER for poor gun maintenance. Also...I realize that you are using only 12 oz to start on this test. When and if you are spraying with greater/more realistic paint loads...you should have THREE cups...two with premixed paint in them for an easy/fast/quick changeout on the fly...and the third cup for doing the inbetween coats quick(spray)cleaning.  Trying to do everything with one cup will make work harder and likely cause you to skip the in between coat gun clean.  Also...Google for compatible paint cups to save money on.  I have a Wagner Pro Plus(very similar to your gun...but I got the whole set-up brand new in box for $50(a bit of Craigslist luck!).  I have another gun as well...but the CARE process never changes.  These are plastic guns...cheaper...convenient but do NOT require less care than a metal gun.  'Cheap and easy' only goes so far.  You have a good spray technique!...better than the Aussie rep for Wagner!   Enjoy.
9. To all that watch this, do NOT use self thinned dip on a car. It will NOT peel up easily like plasti dip spray. 
10. U dont have to sand it when u plasti dip
11. How does it peel off later (in case you don't like the results or want to change ?)
