How To Properly Clean or Repair A Paint Sprayer. Titan Spray Painting.

What happens here

Once the initial flushing is complete, it's crucial to thoroughly clean the intake tube. Lift it out of the clean water bucket and use your hands to wipe away any remaining paint residue from its exterior and interior if accessible. You want this tube to be completely free of dried paint. Next, direct the prime tube into the dirty water bucket. Actively hold the prime tube to prevent it from flying out due to pressure. Engage the sprayer to run clean water through the prime tube. If paint was run through the prime tube during operation, ensure clean water is flushed until all paint is clear. You will alternate running water through the prime tube and through the spray gun to ensure both lines are thoroughly cleaned.

Goal: Clean any residual paint from the intake tube manually and then flush the prime tube by running clean water through it, alternating with gun flushing.

out at the idaho.com. And then one last thing, you got to check your prime tube right here. If you actually ran paint through this prime tube, you're going to run clean water through that to clean that also. So, I'm going to hold on to this. Make sure you hold on to your prime tube cuz if you put this thing to prime, all that pressure behind here is going to throw that prime tube up in there and it's going to shoot paint everywhere. So, I'm going to take turn it down. You can see it running out. There was paint in it. Now I'm going to flip it back to spray. Then I'm going to run some back through the gun again. And I'm going to keep rotating this process back and forth. Run some through the prime tube, run some through the gun.
