What happens here

With the bottom cap removed and the material passage exposed, use a cleaning brush and mineral spirits to thoroughly clean the inside of the gun body. Insert the cleaning brush from both ends of the material passage (from where the cup was and from where the bottom cap was removed) to scrub away all paint residue. Flush the passage with a generous amount of mineral spirits until the liquid runs clear. Also, meticulously clean the removed bottom cap itself, as it is a common area for paint buildup and potential contamination. Ensure all internal surfaces are free of any remaining paint or debris.

Goal: Remove all paint residue from internal material passages for a contaminant-free sprayer.
