Wagner Power Painter Replacement Cup

I got myself a Wagner Power Painter Max second hand for $8.  It was completely clogged up, but I got it to work after some good cleaning.

Unfortunately the cup for the paint was missing.  I contacted Wagner and the nearest Parts store is about a 1000km away from where I live. $4 Part = $50 Shipping.

So I thought to myself I can make myself a paint cup from an used nuts container.

Step 1: What You Will Need

- Wagner Power Painter
- about 800g Nut container
- drill or sharp utility knife

Step 2: Cut the Top

I tried to cut a hole into the top of the nut container, but the plastic was too strong for my utility knife.  I took my drill out and roughly cut out a hole where the paint head of the Wagner Power Painter would fit through.

Step 3: Test If the Paint Mechanism Fits Through the Hole

I then tested if the hole was big enough for the paint mechanism and than put it all together.
