An apparatus for providing enhanced spray capabilities for a gravity-fed spray gun which extends along a spray gun plane, a spray gun nozzle axis extending along that spray gun plane. The apparatus includes a swivel joint assembly for connecting the spray gun to a fluid cup having a fluid cup central axis. The swivel joint assembly provides rotation of the fluid cup along a fluid cup offset axis. The fluid cup offset axis is perpendicular to the fluid cup axis. The position of the offset axis is defined by the intersection of the fluid cup axis and the spray gun plane.
