The Eastwood Contours 2 kit does not have the disposable cup system. I cheapen out and bought the kit from HF, but have second thoughts about my purchase. The first time I used it, I didn’t get the lid on properly, so it leaked all over. Fortunately, I was only spraying prime and not my color coat. I also had issues insuring the locking ring was on tight. The starter kit only comes with one hard cup, so you have to make sure you clean it really well so you can see the measuring marks.

Also the cup is really small, only 20 ounces, so mixing another batch midstream while painting kinda sucked. I’m not sure you can mix multiple cups with the flimsy liners. A second hard cup would definitely be helpful and I may just buy another starter kit.

Having said all that, now that I know its deficiencies and not experiencing any issues since, I’ll continue to use it.
