Your loader (hopper) determines how quickly and reliably paint feeds into your marker.
Loader Types
Gravity-Fed
Simple design, 8-10 bps, $10-30. Best for beginners and mechanical markers.
Agitating
Motorized paddle, 12-15 bps, $30-60. Good for entry electronic markers.
Force-Fed
Active push, 20-30+ bps, $100-250. Essential for high-end markers.
Match Your Loader to Your Marker
If your loader can't keep up with your marker's firing rate, you'll chop paint.
