In reference to your comment about cleanup time. I never clean my spray
guns, just disconnect from the air hose and set them on the shelf until
needed again.
I used to pour the remaining lacquer left in the spray gun into the
container where I kept the premix of lacquer and thinner, then flushed
the gun with lacquer thinner. Decided to experiment without flushing,
and found it unnecessary. I figured if aerosol cans could sit on the
shelf and still be used, why not spray guns.
For small radios, I purchased a touchup spray gun from Harbor Freight
for $20.

Technician in the Navy, 1949-53. The vacuum tube days.

A fellow that I occasionally work with uses two Titan cup guns with a Graco
turbine. The only time they get cleaned is when they clog, which isn't that
often surprisingly, or when switching to a different type of finish. The
guns get used on avereage a couple times a week, tho not at all some weeks.
The usual material is clear lacquers and sanding sealers in one, solid in
the other. This probably helps in that the finish also works as a solvent.
I've tried this in a CH gravity fed gun with poor results. Problem is that
the solids settle to the bottom of the cup which is the fluid passage and
clog it. This happens sooner with high solid materials like primer/surfacers
than top coats.
Cheers,
Jeffo

I wouldn't test that theory with poly (water borne OR solvent borne)...
