What happens here
After painting, it's critical to clean the airless sprayer and roller system thoroughly to prevent paint from drying and clogging the equipment. Disconnect the roller attachment and hose from the gun. Flush the paint hose with water (for latex paints) or appropriate solvent (for oil-based paints) until clear. Disassemble the roller attachment and clean all components, including the roller cover, internal feed tube, and gun, with water or solvent and brushes. Store the equipment properly.
Goal: Thoroughly clean the airless sprayer and roller system to maintain functionality.
