I finally bought this one. Quite expensive though but I think it'll be very useful. Some questions I just wanna ask.
1. Is it just me or the spray regulator and the head part kinda hard to remove? I wanna change the tip of it to a very fine one. The only prob is, I can't remove it! It maybe stuck or needed some more effort.
2. What's the use of this 1/4 oz. color cup?
3. How do I clean the siphon tube wherein I use enamels? Tamiya enamels to be exact.
I'll be waiting for your replies! Thanks!

1. I've got one and the parts I take off all the time are the nose/needle/needle cone (?). I rarely take the 'trigger' out. I clean it after every time I use it.
2. I use the color cup almost exclusivly. Mix bigger batches separtely and pour into the cup. It's easier to work with and clean.
3. Painfully - see #2. Dissassemble and pour thinner through it and use Qtips and toothpicks.

Ok I got it, it really is stuck. Everything goes out well. I've changed the head successfully.
