FAQs
Does this system fit all spray guns?
It is compatible with most standard spray guns provided you have the appropriate 3M-style adapter installed.
Can I reuse the inner liners?
No, the liners are designed for single-use to ensure optimal cleanliness and to prevent cross-contamination between different paint colors.
Is the 125-micron filter removable?
No, the filter is integrated into the lid design for a secure seal and consistent flow.
Can I use this for water-based paints?
Yes, the Gerko system is suitable for both solvent-based and water-based coating systems.
What should I do if the cup feels stuck to the adapter?
Ensure you are not over-tightening the connection; if it persists, check for any dried paint residue in the threads and clean gently with a solvent-dampened cloth.
Troubleshooting
Cup is leaking at the adapter connection
Verify that the adapter is tightened correctly and the gasket on your spray gun adapter is not cracked or missing.
Paint flow is inconsistent or pulsing
Check that the liner is fully collapsed during use and ensure the integrated filter in the lid is not clogged with debris.

Assembly: Insert a liner into the outer cup, pour your paint, snap the lid on, and secure the sealing cap.
Connection: Push the cup onto the adapter until it clicks or tightens firmly.
Cleanup: After finishing your task, remove the cup from the gun. Dispose of the liner and lid in appropriate waste containers. Use a small amount of solvent only to clean the gun adapter and fluid path.
Maintenance: Periodically rinse the outer cup with warm, soapy water and a soft sponge to maintain visibility of the measurement markings.
