Yeah, it's pretty slick.  I've got a number of jars of paint - I just 
clean it out by spraying hot water through it, change jars and go. :)

Actually, I think that the stores I normally go for paint don't stock it

Williams, Parker Paint and I think one other) around here that I should 
look into.

What ratio of paint to thinner is recommended?
