Kev.O Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 I just use thinners. Put some in the gun and work it through. Try getting a small brush and make sure you get all the paint off the gun. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest CoolsBlue Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 or what abt turps?? thats cheap and can use lots of it...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kev.O Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 I used my uncles, was a big 25 litre container of the stuff. It wasn't the sort of thinners you would want to add with your paint as it was cheap but perfect for cleaning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to use whatever thinner of the paint type you are using 2k use 2k thinner Cellulose use cellulose thinners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobSheffield Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 Yeah, generally most thinners contain the same sort of chemicals anyhow so not too much of a prob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPRALOOPY Posted April 8, 2007 Share Posted April 8, 2007 gunwash is a cheap thiner for cleaning. reason you would not paint with it is because of the water content. Made for cleaning guns with..25trs only though sorry.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
