Gravity feed spray guns?

Does anyone know where to get the type of spray gun containers that Steven Hill displayed in his video? I would love to get several of them for my gravity feed spray gun! Much better than buying a spray gun for each glaze!

I've seen some at Harbor Freight but have never tried them on my spray gun to see if they fit.

I know in his workshops he recommends guns from TCP Global such as this set:

tcp global spray gun set

The DevilBiss DeKups Disposable Cup System may be the system in his video (I have not seen the video)

I would call and ask if they also carry the adapters for your spraygun (these are at the bottom of the page.)  I should think the disk filter could be tossed as most glazes will clog a filter.

The ones pictured in his video were ones with a plug for the hole in each end of the cup and a stand to store the cup.

I'm not a fan of HF, but the reviews on these disposable paint cups are pretty good. They come with adapters to fit most HVLP paint guns, and you can always use a bit of teflon tape on the threads for leaks. For less than the price of lunch  you get 5 disposable plastic paint cups - I might give this a try. http://www.harborfreight.com/5-piece-air-spray-gun-disposable-paint...

I think SH shows the Titan Paint Cups in his surface video - about $10-15 each.

I like to use the DeKups disposable cups system for my spraying. This allows you to interchange the glazes without having to use multiple spray guns. In addition, you can store glazes for a short time in them if doing multiple days of glazing. I purchased them from TCPGlobal.com.
