How to clean your spray gun

[@MrTarkus007]

this is a great vid no bullshit straight to the point & well explained very nice mate 2 thumbs up for me

[@Ph0t0bug]

I love how the gloves magically fix themselves at 4:32. Ha ha ha. Great Vid!

[@dansport4619]

Sorry man but why wouldn't you run gun wash through it first, spray it out/ gargle it and then do this whole pulling of the gun.

[@SteS]

Yes, I'm just a novice but I was told by a someone 20 years in the game to do that. Back spraying really helps. For anyone wanting to know. Fill the thinner in the cup, leave the lid off, spray through a bit and hold your finger over the nozzle. It'll blow backwards helping dislodge paint.

[@customspraymods]

Nah, you only want to grease the back part of the needle. This part wont contact the paint.

[@customspraymods]

Yes that is fine. In all our videos we use the same gun for base and clear

[@nicoclaasen1788]

very good teacher, now I can teach others.☺

[@makeownworld1153]

Thanks for the help Sir U R A Great Teacher 😎

[@d7a7s7]

thanks guys - well presented , very useful information .

[@silverssonyoutube8438]

i have a suction feed spray gun . the fucking thing is pulsating its pissing me off.

[@realestateinfonet9041]

Excellent tutorial! Thanks!

[@AWoodworkersLife]

Thanks for the toothpick tip for cleaning the tiny air cap holes!

[@HksF16]

This old video is more detailed than the others that i saw 👍

[@uncleraggy]

I missed the cleaning of pot vent in the lid (5:48) makes a huge difference to paint flow if this is blocked due to the vacuum it creates. Thanks Dave 👍

[@customspraymods]

Thats not wrong, but it wont clean your gun as good as it should be cleaned.

[@TomCoker1957]

Thanks! I think you solved a problem I was having with the trigger sticking on. Tom

[@customspraymods]

Hey you need a product called cam gun cleaner. You soak the gun in it and it dissolves all the hardened paint in your gun.

[@KnightRiderGuy]

Awesome Mario, I've not used a spray gun in quite some time so this was an awesome refresher crash course :)

[@bluetorch13]

thinner destroyed my latex gloves... lol!

[@tezzrterry7485]

Nitrile gloves, black or orange versions are best.

[@The300ZXGuru]

3m accuspray and you wont have to worry about cleanings any more.

[@RGD-Audio-Repairs]

fantastic video, thanks alot, helped me loads, as im new to spraying.. I find on my gun, 2 - 2 and half turns of the paint screw, doesnt allow my trigger to go back very far at all.. But obviously, i will test this properly, with paint, tomorrow.. cheers

[@MJs-85]

most important thing is actually to wear gloves that will not tear so easily when using Laquer Thinner or other cancer-causing thinners. I got hand dermatitis while doing the same mistake. These chemicals can burn you for good. Be careful mate.

[@tmmtmm]

lube the shaft lol.

[@Marjoline]

Fabulous video, guys, and chrystal clear! I'm just about to start out with My First Spray Gun (spraying guitars here in Holland), and my first activity has been following this vid and dismantling and remantling the gun before it even smells lacquer. I'm so glad it was so easy to follow! Thanks heaps!

[@djmikesea]

thanks 4 makin vid. nice to see it done, so much better than the crappy no help instruction sheet that came with my gun. straight to the point & well explained as nick stated.

[@bigal2417]

Good video. I had problems with my gun after use, what did I do ? Soaked it in thinners for 24 hours. I now know why my guns fuxked. I'm only a DIY man .

[@dreysgarage1159]

Do you have to disassemble the aircap prior to cleaning? Noticed there's a white plastic ring inside the aircap. Safe to use thinners on all of it?

[@axenz1]

You're right, most people dip the spray gun with thinner. Thanks for the tips .. 2 thumbs up. :)

[@irfandaniarkan1750]

hi, i'm from indonesia and i've seen all your vid and appreciate your work, just want to ask, can i use paint remover instead of thinner, because that liquid more strong then thinner, and i ask this because my sray gun now jamn :(

[@bencrosbie]

Thank you so much mate top notch video straight to the point. Thats what i wanted to see 👍🏼

[@SwPiotrek]

Great video! Could you do video about differences between cheap spray guns and good spray guns (like Walcom from this video). Thanks!

[@Don_key89]

You need chemical resistant gloves the thinners just destroying your skin and opening the risk of cancer up ten fold,

[@charlesedwards4160]

Don't ever forget to lube your shaft. That's good advice, thank you :)

[@portanav]

Generally good video, but I don't agree with the vasalene on the needle; at least not all the way to the tip but maybe the aft half as the oil can contaminate the paint spray.

[@Pink182ism]

Thanks guys, really helpful video.

[@customspraymods]

@VaMaZa666 Whatever gets off paint.

[@lindaboatinger7894]

hi I have a gun and its been clean but not paint comes out .if you tip it up side down and shake it will spray then stop what can I do as there is no leeks what can I do to fix it

[@tonygreen3528]

So you had to get someone to show you what to do, CSM you mean Crap Simple Misdirection.!

[@3DPeter]

what a nonsense to take the whole gun apart, because al parts wil wear out that way. Just put some thinner into the pot, shake well, empty it, repeat that a few times, then unscrew the air cap until it almost drops off, then ad some more thinner and hit the trigger and the air wil blow the thinner right back into the gun and pot, and empty it. Repeat that a few times, and at last screw the aircap back on, and blow the whole gun trough with some more thinner and your done.

[@sickboy123uk]

Great video very informative for a newbie like myself. 👍

[@dsingh11]

Why does air come out my gun without pressing the trigger when I connect the airline

[@johneddy4770]

Thx 4 All U do!! U’ll Love R Song: Evolution: soundcloud.com/3-412/6-evolution

[@renspatch1847]

Thanks Mario, great tips! Now I better go clean my gun properly.....

[@UrquidiGuitars]

Great video! Greetings from Mexico!

[@top1mvp]

Why don't we just pour thinners on its can and spray it out? can it clean it?

[@magna-mogg6598]

Thanks for the Help !! Your a good teacher.

[@ddzz9462]

I was wondering, what that little blue tank at the bottom of the gun?

[@Lakeside54321]

I wish my employees would move as fast as this guy! There is no doubt in my mind he accomplishes more in a day than most people do in 5 days! Great video!

[@charlesedwards4160]

They're not lubing their shafts. You need to crack the whip :)

[@hazardbrain]

Thank you the videos are great

[@customspraymods]

only thinner

[@customspraymods]

Its vaso

[@bendude6748]

Anyone know where to get one of those thinners bottles? Could do with one !

[@stormman8393]

Thanks boys. Changing my gun cleaning habits

[@tinazinn5671]

Fabulous Video Guys. Thanks for the advice! Cheers

[@joedejesus6363]

Great video, and an awesome "Tutorial" thanks, this was the best I've watched yet. Great lesson too. How often should we clean our spray guns ?

[@customspraymods]

Joe De Jesus thanks. The gun should be cleaned after every use.

[@joedejesus6363]

Well then, .....I'm in a bit of trouble. I took a tip from an auto body guy some years back, and he told me to just soak the spray cap in lacquer thinner. Let me get to work on this Binks Model 7 then. Thanks again.

[@kalsa-zofstuff8091]

Excellent vid. Even if it it 10 years old 😮

[@miamited69]

what spray bottle is that for the thinner?

[@joecox9958]

very nice but not real, he cleans a clean gun.

[@Bull1the1Great]

you haven't lubed your shaft lol .

[@victorvodkafish]

This is priceless stuff! I'm learning heaps!....and entertaining! Allan

[@joecox9958]

nice! the rinse bottle is water ot mineral oil?

[@BeastlyHamBurgler]

Couldn't help but notice, you smeared Vaseline on your needle.

[@serkitk3169]

thanks for the video!! I just took apart and put back my spray gun, first time doing it and was nervous!!

[@GarjiO]

Awesome videos, thanks a lot! :)

[@59rhoma]

good luck >>> for you

[@kidsnkittens]

Thank you so much!

[@timwerner7771]

Good, efficient workmanlike description. I got the message clear even with the Aussie accent. Next video, turn the exhaust- fan speed much lower so we can hear better! Thanks!

[@MrStevenakachico]

I got my first gun 2 months ago and I use to soak it for like 10 min. Than it started leaking. Now I know why. What gloves can I use were they won't disintegrate?

[@samsbogh9361]

So what kind of solvent liquid are using to brush clean your spray gun? Thanks

[@rfe831]

Paint thinner or lacquer thinner

[@Shroommduke]

fucking brilliant! just what I was looking for! what kind of paint are you cleaning out of that gun?

[@beldav976]

Love your vids mate keep them coming cheers

[@donpowell4025]

That thing you are cleaning at the two minute mark, I did the same thing with one of those brushed. However I don't remember being that gentle as gentle and now the gun will spray when the trigger is not engaged. I cannot get it to turn off. Any idea what I did wrong and how to fix it?

[@axenz1]

Is that really Vaseline or other white grease?

[@kitkimbrough1145]

Vaseline on the needle!!??

[@mbbcaragua]

parabens,otimo video!

[@PinkuStyle]

awesome video for some reason I was thinking about cleaning a M4/M16 hahah.

[@uriel-heavensguardian8949]

Quick awesome demonstration!! love it! Thanks for sharing!!!

[@Dan-my6oe]

Say you spray on a coat of paint, and you have to let the paint dry for 10-15 min. Will the paint in the little wholes of your gun also dry? So would you need to clean it after each coat? Also, do you need to clean your gun when switching to a different kind of paint? Like primer to base to clear. Obviously the container will need to be cleaned, but for the rest of the gun could you just spray it onto some paper or something to clear out the old paint? There seems to be obvious answers for some of these, but I just want to make sure.

[@nikolaiownz]

what gun was that he was cleaning? ohh it was a walcom.. have you ever tryed the Slim model? i was thinking about buying it as a starter gun.. i want to get into painting.

[@reyjr3608]

About the lube part..i was afraid that i will got wax or grease all over my paint job..will that scenario happen?

[@osmanbison6]

No, the paint does not travel through or near the fluid needle. The paint is dispensed at the very tip of the fluid needle

[@eebarreto]

He forgot the must important cleaning procedure! compress air to blow out the gun holes and paint chamber! Vaseline not good idea to lube the paint tip shaft! you have and O ring that pin goes through, It is better just clean tip shaft with any silicon lubricant or WD40 and wipe clean.

[@diversify210]

This a great video. I just bought a couple mid range HVLP guns and never really new how to properly clean the guns, since I always used the cheap harbor freight guns and didn't care much. One thing I will say. This guy need to get himself some good chemical resistant nitrile gloves like Black Mambas. That thinner just ate those cheap latex gloves up

[@msz2170]

It is better to buy spray gun washer. I have B-TEC and I dont need to unscrew every time when I change colour.

[@ericwittersheim]

Great tutorial guys, I am going to try paining myself and the cleanup process had me worried that I wouldn't get it right. This really explained to me what I need to do.

[@SkookumChoocher]

Wouldn't the grease cause problems when you use the gun next time? Or do you just flush it with thinner or something just before the next use?

[@piecetoyou8285]

Great info,straight to the point,thank you, you went a little to fast to where you dropped the paint bucket on your needle `sh-t ,lol Where did you get that type of squirty bottle and when looking for a sqirty bottle that holds thinners what would I search for?

[@rockhaloschool]

would you cleaning a brand new gun before first time use, i just bought a devilbus and want to know should i clean it before i spray out of it for the first time

[@problastcoatingsltd6947]

What do you do with all the used thinners? Is it expensive with the amount of thinners you use?

[@joeygonzo]

Or you could soak them in a bowl of lacquer thinner overnight.

[@customspraymods]

that can damage the rubber seals

[@janosmolnar1]

Wish someone had have fuckin told me this before i had to watch the video :(

[@Δημήτρης-η4ρ]

...m8 stop...sniffing...the...thinner! Can't you see it's making you nervice?

[@paulsciberras6882]

You guys are great to watch and learn. Your enthusiasm resonates. People forget this is supposed to be fun and and a life learning experience. You got be an artist , chemist and the comedian to make it in this industry. I'm a car detailer in been doing it for 27 years and always wanted to paint cars or objects I dabbled here and there help block on a couple projects and now I'm seriously taking my first car and do a full paint job on it . I watch your videos and more from other people. One thing for sure is when I watch yours I'm laughing and smiling thanks for the great work and most importantly the enthusiasm thank you Paul

[@VaMaZa666]

Is white spirit ok for this?

[@mosbahafyouni]

I was told to spray thinners through the gun twice before cleaning...is that wrong?

[@hgpo27]

how often do I need to clean my gun, obviously after paint change, but what if I am using the same paint?

[@mk1eski]

Guys a butcher

[@craigllacour649]

You know good and we'll the small holes are too small for a toothpick

[@jayg3824]

so what about the thinner.. you just leave it in the gun? wont it effect the paint when you go to use the gun to spray again? or does it dry up and at that point become harmless?

[@ChessMasters]

Thank you

[@AnthonyJonahs]

When you say thinners, do you specifically mean paint thinner, lacquer thinner, or can you use both?
