The stem includes a passage that delivers paint toward the inner conical surface. The cup body includes one or more spray control features that extend along the inner conical surface toward the circumferential edge. The one or more spray control features promote a selected uniform droplet size of the paint traveling from the stem toward the circumferential edge.
