Re: Gun cleaning
Also, if you returned any leftover powder back into your can of gloss white powder, you may now have a few specks of red lurking within. Something to think about. (Did the same thing with some clear, so don't feel bad.)
Couple things I do that seem to help....
Lay out your colors for the day, and choose an order that will "hide" the previous colors better if you do get some contamination. For example, say you shoot blue, red, and white. I'd first make certain that the gun is sparkling clean, use the white, then the red, and then the blue. My thinking is that the white would "hide" better on the red, and the red will "hide" better on the blue. Obviously, the goal is to not have any contamination, but a little planning will help if it does happen.
I also bought a second gun just for metallics. Solid colors in one gun, metallics in the other. Mark your cups and lids as well.
YMMV.
