I have them for the Dura-Block guns but I'm not sure they fit the FLG3. I'll try it tomorrow and let you know.

That looks like what i remember maybe i just confused Dura-Block with devilbliss. i doubt they would fit as most spray guns probably use different thread. It seems like a handy thing to have i wonder why more companies don't make them for their own guns?

It seems to fit in the Finishline III quite well.

The gun was sputtering and I thought it was the swivel so I took it off and took another picture but the gun still sputtered. I think it's time for a seal.

You can see the difference in the cup angle when using the swivel. The gun needs to be held perpendicular to the panel but the swivel allows you to keep the cup more upright as you spray.

Len,
How does it work for spraying upward? I sometimes need to spray upward and it looks that might just be the ticket (up to about 45 degrees maybe). 3M pps claims to work completely upside down but I have never tried it -- seems rather pricey and cleaning out the cup never seemed like a big deal to me.

Yes, it's about the same amount of angle pushing the cup forward instead of back.

There are also Cup Liners from DeVilbiss that work very well. These are heavy plastic zip lock bags that are mounted in the gun and allow you to spray upside down. There are also DeKups by DeVilbiss that also allow you to spray at any angle and cost a fraction of the 3M PPS system.
