I picked up a used Campbell Hausfeld HV2500 2-stage turbine and HVLP
gun, but without manuals.

I've never owned this type of rig and it didn't come with a manual or
parts breakdown.

the lid which acts as a one-way valve for the portion of air that slightly
pressurizes the cup, that usually gets full of gunk.



Are those one-way plastic caps generic - that is, could I go to an
auto parts store and pick up some of those since they're wear items,
or are you pretty much bound to the gun's brand parts? Looks like I'm
going to need the washer / seal that goes between the gun & the cup.

I don't know, it would be nice if they are. Accuspray parts are sometimes
stocked at autobody supply houses.
