- In this video we show and explain how to clean a spray paint gun.
Tools you'll need:
Small wire brush,
Bucket of water
Empty bucket
Scrap to spray excess paint and water
Rag
Water hose
Equipment we're cleaning:
Wagner Super Duty control spray gun (airless paint/stain sprayer)
My sprayer won't stop spraying even when I'm not touching the trigger and it does it when the trigger has been removed and I can not figure out why? Would you have any idea what's going on?
Totally appreciate you for this video! Thank you 🙏🏾
Just bought mine and it barely even sprays just a tiny small circle
I would like to add, when storing it make sure the back end with the motor is separated from the business end of the gun or what left over moisture in the sprayer will eventually rust out the electrical components in the back.
Very helpful video. Thank you for posting 🙂
These things are a Bitch to clean.
Hi, mine is leaking from the trigger, any recommendations? Thanks for the video.
This sounds like it could be one of multiple issues: you may have some build up inside the downtube, your paint is not the right consistency (too thin or too thick), or you could have a worn out seal in the trigger assembly or nozzle area. Be sure to thoroughly clean the gun after each use to prevent build-up.
Thanks for showing us your technique. Thorough, clear and precise. How you would go about cleaning the outside from overspray?
For the outside of the gun, I would clean/brush it off immediately before it dries too much. I know that it will inevitably be partially dry, but the sooner you clean it the easier it will be. You can also take a nonabrasive tool to 'scrape' the outside, like a popsicle stick or plastic putty knife. Test an area to make sure it does not mar the surface. There is also the magic eraser, although this is a mild abrasive, it'll work.
@@Construction101 Thanks for your reply.
OMG
Took you longer to clean it than to do the actual job.
That's typical of painting. I describe painting as 85% prep and clean-up, 10% technique, and 5% actually applying paint. I painted the exterior of my house with a paint sprayer, it took about 8hrs to do the job...6 of those hours were masking off EVERYTHING.
Hi I want to use BEHR premium interior cabinet & trim enamel with the spray fun but the paint says not to thin. Will it still work on the machine or should I still thin it out? Also do you know if this paint is water based? Sorry kinda a newbie at DIY. Thanks for any help you can offer.
The Wagner Double Duty Control Spray gun is designed to be used with thin bodied materials. The Behr Enamel would not be a good fit for this gun. Wagner makes other models that are made for thicker paints. The enamel should not be thinned as it is formulated to be self leveling and dry to create a hard shell. Cabinet and Trim Paint can be sprayed using an airless sprayer with a .013-.015" tip. Do not thin.
@@Construction101 thank you so much. This is helpful.
@@Construction101 what is the paint you used for your bookcase
@@echavez397 I used Behr Premium Plus Ultra (now just called Ultra), Paint and Primer in one, Semi-gloss... diluted quite a bit for use with this gun.
@@Construction101 thanks. How are you finding it holding up on the bookshelf. Would you recommend it?
After i clean, i put everything back together but then nothing comes out. Only air. Am i doing it right?
Here's some troubleshooting tips for your issue with the spray gun:
1: The spray tip itself is set in a default position. It’s possible you have this on clean instead of spray. If that’s the case, no paint will come out when you try to use the sprayer.
2: Spray gun filters get dirty and you will have to clean these.
With a wrench, you should be able to remove the spray gun filter to clean it. Use an oil-based or mineral-based cleaner, soap, and warm water.

Did you have to thin out the paint when using this sprayer ?
Yes. This is primarily a stain and sealer sprayer. You need to dilute the paint in order to use it properly. Check out the video on how to paint with the Wagner spray gun... it shows how to dilute.
