The hopper on top is too large to make it useful in and around wheel arches trunks etc. - so I took an ever coat undercoat can lid cut the top out soldered it to a short length of tube which I could then affix to the gun using a hose clamp/ this is the same way the original hopper is attached. A short length of rubber hose may work as well..
A HF popcorn gun was $25 so I figured whats the worst that can happen?
With this you are able to screw an evercoat can inverted onto the top... makes it gravity fed, if not you would have to pressurize the pot, it dries harder than the OEM however looks as close as I can find.
The final thing I did was getting picky with the spray pattern and on the the smallest tip I slotted the hole and ground a taper to the slot on the rear so it would shoot less of a round pattern and more of a bar pattern - I have a new sample sheet with those tests and air pressures noted, but I don't have any photos yet.
BTW top row middle was correct...
