hey guys hopefully this weekend ill bedline my bumpers. but i was wondering how i/if i can clean the spray gun after the use of the bed liner?

 

Only thing that I found that would take that crap off the gun...and be ready to do it often if you stop and let it harden in the spray gun...

Lacquer thinner and some thin pieces of wire to gouge down into it. I had to take my gun apart at least 5 times to clean it during the course of sparying a bumper using Duplicolor bedliner.

Good luck.

 

thanks never thought of that... the duplicolor stuff is what im going to be using also. can i just put the thinner in the gun and spray it out to clean the nozzle

 

anyone?

 

You'll have much better luck taking it apart and cleaning it out...believe me from recent experience, it will be gunked up.

 

what kinda gun did u use? did u just buy the cheap one from walmart?

 

I used the Duplicolor one and tried a Harbor Freight one, both clogged up after a while so paint as much as possible before you stop even for a minute cause once you stop, it clogs...

Lacquer thinner...

 

i dont know if its the same for the duplicolor but the herculiner can be thinned with xylol alcohol b/c that is what the base of it is. as far as cleaning it, acetone works pretty good as long as it hasnt hardened.

 

First of all, you need to remove its cape and nozzle. Then you need thinner for eliminating bed liner from the spray gun. It is the easiest way to clean your spray gun. If you want to buy a new spray gun for bed liner, click here.
