- Not solvent-borne coatings — it’s plastic, and solvents attack plastic.
- Not height work where refills include a climb — that’s the jumbo’s 4-liter job.
- Not a guaranteed lined workflow — its liner fit is unverified , so unlike the 92069 it cannot yet be sold as a liner-served chassis.
- Not a certification — “green” is a color word and “made from recycle material” is a store-title input claim, neither of them an eco-label or a recyclability guarantee (§1, §2c).
- Not a functional upgrade over the standard tray — it is a specification alternative, equal in use; sell the difference as procurement, not performance.

is authored at 2b and is identical to the line’s baseline procedure — the recycled resin does not change the face-dip-and-condition method. Capacity: 2 liters, the room-repaint standard — refills stay cheap on flat reachable work; height and ceilings want the 4-liter jumbo, not this tray. Cleanup / liner question: here is a genuine functional caveat versus the baseline — no liner is confirmed to fit the 92078 ; the line’s most-used liner (92076) is officially rated for the 92069 and 92070, and this fact sheet does not extend it to the 92078. So do not promise a lined workflow for this tray until fitment is verified; for now its cleanup answer is prompt bare-tray washout of water-borne paint. Chemistry: plastic — solvent-borne coatings soften and gum it; keep it to water-borne work (the metal 92060 is the solvent chassis).
