1. A method of using a paint cup assembly with a paint sprayer, the method comprising: providing a paint cup assembly including a cap, an outlet tube extending from the cap, and a valve assembly disposed in the outlet tube, wherein the valve assembly is movable from a closed configuration in which fluid flow through the outlet tube is prevented to an open configuration in which fluid flow through the outlet tube is permitted, wherein the valve assembly comprises a plunger having a head and a shaft, wherein the head of the plunger is configured to engage a valve seat formed at a first end of the outlet tube when the valve assembly is in the closed configuration, and wherein the first end of the outlet tube is adjacent to the cap;filling the paint cup assembly with paint;closing the paint cup assembly;inverting the paint cup assembly; andengaging the paint cup assembly with the paint sprayer so as to automatically move the valve assembly to the open configuration,wherein engaging the paint cup assembly with the paint sprayer is performed after inverting the paint cup assembly, and wherein engaging the paint cup assembly with the paint sprayer is performed so as to minimize spillage of paint. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the valve assembly is a spring loaded valve assembly. 3. The method of claim 1, wherein the paint cup assembly further comprises a collapsible paint liner adapted to receive paint and collapse as paint is withdrawn from the collapsible paint liner. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the paint cup assembly further comprises a ring and a collapsible paint liner, wherein the ring circumscribes the paint liner, and wherein the ring extends along a length of the collapsible liner a distance less than an axial height of the collapsible liner. 5. The method of claim 4, wherein the cap is adapted to engage the ring, and wherein a portion of the collapsible paint liner is disposed between a portion of the ring and a portion of the cap to secure the collapsible paint liner to the cap. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein engaging the paint cup assembly with the paint sprayer comprises: engaging the paint cup assembly with an adapter on the paint sprayer,wherein the adapter includes a post for automatically opening the valve assembly as the paint cup assembly is engaged with the paint sprayer, and wherein the post has one or more slots configured to allow fluid to flow through the post when the valve assembly is in the open configuration. 7. The method of claim 1, wherein the valve assembly is disposed between a valve retainer and the outlet, and wherein the shaft of the plunger extends through the valve retainer upon engagement with the paint sprayer. 8. The method of claim 7, wherein the valve retainer comprises a disk shaped frame defining one or more openings, and wherein a filter material is disposed in the one or more openings. 9. The method of claim 8, further comprising: inverting the paint sprayer and the paint cup assembly so that the paint sprayer is above the paint cup assembly;actuating a trigger on the paint sprayer to allow paint within the paint sprayer to return to the paint cup assembly; anddisengaging the paint cup assembly from the paint sprayer. 10. A method of using a paint cup assembly with a paint sprayer, the method comprising: providing a paint cup assembly including a collapsible paint liner;filling the collapsible paint liner with paint;closing the paint cup assembly with a cap, wherein the cap includes a spring loaded outlet valve assembly, wherein the valve assembly comprises a plunger having a head and a shaft, wherein the head of the plunger is configured to engage a valve seat formed in an outlet tube of the cap when the valve assembly is in the closed configuration, and wherein the head of the plunger is generally cylindrical;inverting the paint cup assembly; andthreadably engaging the paint cup assembly with the paint sprayer,wherein threadably engaging the paint cup assembly with the paint sprayer is performed after inverting the paint cup assembly, and wherein engaging the paint cup assembly with the paint sprayer is performed so as to minimize spillage of paint. 11. The method of claim 10, wherein the spring loaded valve assembly is automatically moved from a closed configuration in which fluid flow through an outlet is prevented to an open configuration in which fluid flow through the outlet is permitted during engagement with the paint sprayer. 12. The method of claim 11, wherein the outlet tube extends from the cap defining a proximal end and a distal end, wherein the proximal end is adjacent to the cap, and wherein the plunger is disposed at a location adjacent to the proximal end. 13. The method of claim 11, wherein the open configuration is achieved automatically during engagement. 14. The method of claim 10, wherein the collapsible paint liner comprises a generally cylindrical sidewall, a closed bottom, and an open top, and wherein the closed bottom is generally hemispherical. 15. The method of claim 10, wherein engaging the paint cup assembly with the paint sprayer includes rotating the paint cup assembly with respect to the paint sprayer. 16. A method of using a paint cup assembly with a paint sprayer, the method comprising: filling a paint cup assembly with paint, wherein the paint cup assembly includes a paint reservoir comprising a ring and a collapsible paint liner, wherein the ring circumscribes the paint liner;closing the paint cup assembly with a cap, wherein the cap includes a spring loaded valve assembly and an outlet tube, wherein the valve assembly comprises a plunger having a head and a shaft, and wherein the head of the plunger is configured to engage a valve seat formed in the outlet when the valve assembly is in the closed configuration;inverting the paint cup assembly; andengaging the outlet of the cap with an adapter on the paint sprayer,wherein the adapter includes a valve actuator for automatically opening the spring loaded valve assembly as the paint cup assembly is engaged with the paint sprayer, and wherein engaging the outlet of the cap with the adapter is performed after inverting the paint cup assembly. 17. The method of claim 16, wherein the ring has an axial height that is less than an axial height of the liner. 18. The method of claim 16, wherein the collapsible paint liner is adapted to collapse as paint is withdrawn from the collapsible paint liner. 19. The method of claim 16, wherein engaging paint cup assembly with the paint sprayer includes reducing a distance between the paint cup assembly and the paint sprayer. 20. The method of claim 16, wherein the cap is adapted to engage the ring, and wherein a portion of the collapsible paint liner is disposed between a portion of the ring and a portion of the cap to secure the collapsible paint liner to the cap. 21. The method of claim 16, wherein the ring comprises: a hub; anda skirt extending from the hub, the skirt defining a plurality of slots. 22. The method of claim 16, wherein the valve actuator comprises a post and wherein the post is configured to open the valve assembly as the outlet of the paint cup assembly is inserted into the adapter.
