is this spray gun ok?

Post by Jeff Bearden »

(posted this in primers/paint as well)

want to know if my spray gun is usable.

i set up a clean air line for spray priming, and then bought an el cheapo spray gun from hft. the gun has some oil on the internal parts apparently for lube or preservation from the manufacturer.

is this normal? can i clean the gun maybe by spraying some mek or alcohol through it?

thanks for any newbie education...

Shoot laquer thinner through it to clean it out.

We are going to lock this one since we have one in Primers/Paint which is more appropriate.
