    bottom feeds are horrible. well at least our experience with them has been so. top feed (gravity) is the way to go always. <br />
    <br />
    And yes, clean it extensively after each use... its much less time spent cleaning then if you forget to clean it and have to do it later. <br />
    <br />
    And NEVER... EVER... leave clearcoat in a gun... <img src="http://vvti.net/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Smile" /> (i didnt do it, but i watched someone do it once... bye bye gun... <img src="http://vvti.net/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Smile" />)

    make sure you keep it really clean, they like to clog up fast if you dont, my friend has 2 of them, one is a gravity gun, the other is bottom fed, the bottom fed one is clogged right now

    My biggest worry about the gun is getting it clogged and painting like shit, so I have been cleaning it very well.
