What happens here

Before running clean water through the system, lower the pressure on the sprayer. Position the paint gun's nozzle over the original paint bucket. Activate the sprayer to push out all the paint remaining in the lines and gun, collecting it back into the paint bucket. Observe the output carefully, and stop once a small amount of water begins to appear, indicating that most of the paint has been purged.

Goal: Run the remaining paint from inside the sprayer lines and gun back into the original paint bucket to avoid waste and prevent thinning the paint.

What they say

Hide

I'm just going to lift it up and then quickly move it over to clean water. And now I'm going to run all the paint out of my machine because I don't want to waste the paint that's inside the line. I'm going to run that into my gallon of paint. So I'm just going to put my gun down here. I'm going to turn my pressure down. I don't want my pressure up really high when I'm actually cleaning it and getting the paint out. So now I'm just going to run all the paint out. And I'm typically just once I start to just see a little bit of water start to come through, I'm going to quit. And then I'm going to start running that the dirty water into here. I don't want to run any water down into my paint and thin out my paint. So look closely as you're actually running this paint out.
