What happens here

Gather an empty metal gallon can and fill it with lacquer thinner. Submerge all disassembled metal parts into the lacquer thinner. Allow them to soak for approximately 5 minutes to loosen any dried paint. After soaking, use an old toothbrush to thoroughly scrub all parts. For hard-to-reach areas, use Q-tips soaked in lacquer thinner. Continue scrubbing until all paint residue is removed and the parts are clean. Once cleaned, spray them with WD-40 to prevent any remaining paint from drying and keep the parts lubricated.

Goal: Thoroughly clean all paint residue from the disassembled gun parts.

process. I got some lacquer thinner right here that I just take and dip my products in and I'll begin cleaning them with lacquer thinner. I let them I'll drop them down in my bucket. Dropped down inside there. I'm going to let them soak just for a little bit. and the soaking will release uh it'll actually start to begin to eat away at any latex paint, loosen any latex paint up, and it'll make it a lot easier to clean. And then on this contractor gun, once we've taken the packings and token the the ends of the gun off, we're going to take the this part of the gun apart that has a filter in it. And then we're just going to unscrew this And that right there. Now we can actually drop this in our thinner. Take off our filter. We can clean that. And then we're going to drop all the parts together. Convenient. It's been soaking in here for about 5 minutes. And I'll just begin cleaning all these parts with my toothbrush and get them all good and clean. Lacquer thinner loosens up all this latex paint. Makes it come off really easily. I use my little Q-tips to get down inside these areas that my toothbrush can't reach. It's a good idea to use a pair of chemical gloves when you're doing this. For the sake of this video, I'm not using gloves to be able to work with the camera, too. But you can get um chemical resistant gloves for this type of stuff at your local paint store or a home improvement store like Home Depot. So, I'm just going to keep cleaning these parts here. Let's get them good and clean. Get all the paint off of them. And once they're all clean, before the lacquer thinner completely dries, I like to spray them with WD40. And that'll keep any paint that didn't come off or that I may have missed, it'll keep it from dry. I've spent about 30 minutes now cleaning my gun with my lacquer thinner and I'm going to set my lacquer thinner aside. Got my parts laid out. I'm going to begin assembling this gun back together. I've got two
