The most important factor in painting a vehicle or any other panel where you need to be able to rely on the best possible finish is to ensure that the pain is completely free of any contamination or foreign bodies. Leftover solvent or dried fakes of paint in the spray gun or mixing area can destroy the quality of the finish and result in you having to strip back to the bare metal and start again from scratch – massively increasing the cost of the job. One of the best ways of getting around this problem is to use disposable mixing cups when you re blending paint.

With disposable mixing cups, you do not have to worry about the amount of solvent in the mix, or leaving flakes of the old paint behind when you start. You get a fresh, clean, and dust free cup in which to blend the paint for the job, and this means that the paint stays clean.

If you reuse a mixing cup, even if you think that it is completely clean, it is still possible that there is a small amount of paint left from the previous job, and this can result in a slight difference in the color of the paint that you mix. If you are painting a large area, and half way through the job the color of paint changes, then it will be immediately obvious what has happened, because the two areas of paint will simply not match. By using a disposable mixing cup, you can be sure that you are only likely to see a single color of paint in the cup, and will not have to worry about contamination.

Using disposable mixing cups means that you have to spend less time cleaning up at the end of a job, and this will actually reduce the costs of your operation. Despite having to pay out more for the cups in the long term, the amount of time that you save on cleaning, and can instead spend on actual painting work means that your productivity will increase enormously, and result in a much better quality of wor overall.

Another cost advantage of using disposable mixing cups is that you will not have to spend as much money on cleaning fluids. Instead of spending time and using expensive solvents to remove the last paint that was used on the job, you simply toss the used cup in the appropriate trash, and it can be properly disposed of.

You can buy a pack of 100 half pint disposable mixing cups from Red Hill Supply for just $42.37 including lids that you can put in place to prevent spilling and the paint drying out before you use it. They represent an environmentally sensitive option thanks to the lower amounts of chemicals that are require for cleaning, and yet are still hard wearing enough to resist most solvents.

Disposable mixing cups are the perfect way of getting a much better finish to every painting job. A more even distribution of metal flakes in a metallic paint job, greater consistency in the color and thickness of paint thanks to the lack of contamination, and of course, the freshness that prevents foreign bodies blocking your nozzle.

Depending on the job you are doing, there is a good selection of sizes of disposable mixing cups available, from small quarter pint jars for carrying out a quick touch up on a single panel, through to much larger quart pots that are intended for producing the paint for larger jobs. You can order in large packs to ensure that you always have plenty of cups in stock for whatever needs you have.
