Clean Spray Paint
Guns
Paint protects your home from the elements by forming a chemical shield around the structure wherever it is applied. Paint also allows you to change the appearance of your home with a quick, fresh. The invention of paint spray guns accelerated the painting process, allowing novices and professionals to paint any surface quickly and smoothly. Cleaning your paint gun takes only a few minutes and will extend the life of your gun tremendously.
Instructions
1. Disassemble your gun and place the pieces into the bucket. Remove the reservoir cup, twist off any protective pieces covering the spray tip and place them into the bucket. Loosen the tip with your adjustable wrench, then unscrew and remove it by hand.
2. Pour paint thinner onto a rag and wipe each piece clean, paying particular attention to crevices and venting holes. Place the pieces onto clean rags so that the thinner can evaporate before you reassemble the paint spray gun.
3. Scrub the tip and other smaller pieces with a toothbrush. Hold the pieces over the bucket to clean them so that the thinner will not spill onto the floor. Wipe away any debris with a rag.
4. Allow all of the pieces to dry for one hour. Reassemble the spray paint gun, being careful not to over-tighten and damage the tip.
