Spray cup size?

I bought, from a furniture-refinisher friend, a used Fuji Mini-mite 3 sprayer with their XPC (side mount) spray gun . It appears to have the standard 400 cc cup on it, which seems a little unwieldy to me. I was considering buying a smaller cup, like Fuji's 3 oz. (about 80 cc?) cup for that sprayer. My question is, how much lacquer would you go through in one spray session, working on a single guitar? Is the 3 oz. cup big enough or would it need refilling and be more hassle than it's worth?

hard to answer needle tip size and adjusting flow will determine the usage.
You should easy get 3 coats off that
I can get that much off a 1l2 cup of my fuji semi pro 2

Thanks John - the spray gun has a 1.4 mm needle which the previous owner said was what he used for lacquer. I seem to remember some discussion on the forum about using something closer to 1 mm but I will probably try the 1.4 to start. And I may as well use the existing large cup to begin with and see how it handles.
