How to clean my clogged airless paint sprayer?

Question

hi i just got a new airless paint sprayer and it got clogged how do i clean it?

Answer 1

If you are currently using it and it stopped working, turn the spray nozzle 180 degrees, point it in a safe direction and squeeze the trigger, you may have some chunks in your paint.  It's the colored thing on top of the spray gun, usually has an arrow on one end which indicated which way it's pointing.

You should strain your paint before spraying it to avoid chunks.

If it is clogged because you didn't clean it out, then you will need to take everything that has paint in it completely apart and work really hard at getting it all clean.
