How to clean an HVLP spray gun??

Not sure where the people missed the boat here?

My Binks model 7 Spray guns I take apart, pour 1" of automotive paint stripper into the cup (aviation stripper) and put all the spray gun parts in there to soak for a half hour.

Brush on the stripper to the Spray Gun body and internal paint ports.

After all paint has lifted off after brushing with a fine paint brush, rinse off all the parts with water, and blow dry with compressed air.

Reassemble all the parts and spray lacquer thinner through the gun for the final spray test.

Pefect Spray Pattern every time. Clean as can be.

I have spray guns that are 45 years old and spray perfect patterns to this day.

Just need to strip them clean from time to time.

I wish I had a Dollar for all of those that were sold over the years, including the knockoffs!!

The #7 was the industry standard for umpteen million years seems like!!!

I Remember when they came out with the one that had the agitator built in it for when you used Pearls and Candies...before then, you had to "Shake it" before each pass!!! :lol:

I don't think any other Gun out there spray Lacquer like that one!!!
