How To Clean A Airless Spray Gun

This video is a tutorial on how to clean a airless spray gun. It also covers how to clean a airless sprayer and more specifically how to clean a graco 390 paint sprayer.
An airless spray gun can significantly speed up a job and make your life alot easier.
So I thought a video on how to clean a paint sprayer would be ideal. We also provide videos on how to set up and use an airless spray gun here • How To Set Up An Airle...
We also have videos on a multitude of painting topics.

I have always enjoyed teaching people things about the painting industry, just to show them that it doesn't have to be as complicated as it seems. By breaking a painting project down into smaller more manageable steps, you can also take on projects that you thought were not doable. I will be coming out with some new videos soon to walk you through step by step processes involved in a vast array of painting projects.

Great way to clean it nice job my friend Ty for the idea

[@slavaua6786]

That was helpful. Thanks

[@danfadeev3338]

Thank you, sir.

[@geedan06]

Three buckets works ok but I recommend using the three sea shells

[@reflectance_bcs]

Hi, this is the best video I've ever seen on cleaning airless equipment. Best regards.

[@MMPRECISIONPAINTING]

Thanks.

Today i got a X7 Graco Magnum sprayer at a yard sale. Dude sold me it for 50 bucks. Cheap huh but there is a catch. Dude didn't clean it after he last used it and now it has some dried paint all around it and inside it. So yeah that's why I am here. Trying to find out what the best easiest way to clean dried paint off a sprayer.

[@MMPRECISIONPAINTING]

Mineral spirits. Try to get some in the pump and let it sit.

[@jamminpeace1]

Great tutorial! Thank you! Do you guys recommend running mineral spirits through being the last thing you do when the sprayer is clean and then clear it all out. I have been hearing differences of opinion. My mechanic swears by it.

[@MMPRECISIONPAINTING]

It's a good practice to wipe the hose and outside of the pump with it, as it keeps it flexible in good condition.

[@arinb12]

Not necessarily specific to cleaning the gun. But when applying paint, what type of mask and filter do you recommend? Is a P3 filter enough or do I need vapour to or is it paint dependant?

[@MMPRECISIONPAINTING]

I normally use p100 in all situations, but a p95 respirator should suffice if you aren't spraying oil based products.

[@swordfish1120]

What do have wrapped around your pickup hose? Is that to prevent paint build up?

[@MMPRECISIONPAINTING]

No, unfortunately thats years of paint build up!

[@jamminpeace1]

What type of soap do you guys use to clean the sprayer?

[@MMPRECISIONPAINTING]

You can use Dawn dish soap. Just make sure you rinse really good.

[@mariorivas-jn7vz]

You forgot to put the pump armor so it won’t get the inside rusted it very important

[@MMPRECISIONPAINTING]

Yes, this can extend the life of your airless. I find that when doing a cost benefit analysis, I save more time and money just replace the pump when it finally does go bad. If you only use it as a diy every now and then, then It's worth it. I use mine everyday, so they never sit for long.

[@mattgloss8580]

how hot is the hot water mate?

[@MMPRECISIONPAINTING]

Just to where it doesn't burn your hand.

[@johnnyfeathers2567]

You didn’t blow any clean water through the tips and twist it back and forth..unless you just rinse them out..

[@MMPRECISIONPAINTING]

It's killing me, that I forgot to put that in there. But yeah, I always rinse the housing and tip, then run water through the tip.

[@MMPRECISIONPAINTING]

Thanks for that.

[@normanchambers4714]

I have dried paint in my paint gun and you don't show how to clean it.

[@mikejones7116]

How did u get it off? I have the same problem

[@tellfile]

They make a soap special to airless sprayers to run through it. Supposed to soften and dissolve dried interior paint. Don't breath it .. very caustic stuff.

[@JohnPaul-ts8dq]

Get to the point. Enough of storytelling.
