Are you talking about how to set them up? I held boostedfc3s' (my fiance! hehehe) handle in my hand. I wedged a small nut in the linkage on the back side to keep the handle open so that paint could get underneath it. Be sure to lower the handle back down after a few coats to get paint coverage on the top of the housing. Btw, I'm new to the forum, but this thread caught my eye because I paint cars for a living.
