Abstract:
An apparatus with two identical fluid reservoirs for the containment of paint or other finishes to be applied by spraying using compressed air is disclosed. Each of the two reservoirs is connected via metallic tubing to a spray mechanism of conventional design. Each tubing line is equipped with an integral shutoff valve to allow the user to select which paint or finish is applied. When the user wishes to change to the opposing reservoir, both shutoff valves are closed and the remaining paint in the tubing and spray mechanism is blown through. Then the shutoff valve on the desired reservoir is opened allowing the desired paint or finish to be applied. The operating controls as well as the physical weight, center of gravity and balance are similar to that experienced with a conventional single reservoir, air powered, paint gun, allowing the user to quickly become accustomed to the present invention. Preparation, use and post-use clean up are accomplished using readily known procedures and common practices.
