To the production painters,
Does anyone have a decent system of cleaning guns?
I have one of these washers at work and it’s okay. I always find myself getting lazy with keeping the outside clean. Yesterday, after one booth load I’m washing 7 guns. 4 different colors. One of them a tri-coat requiring a midcoat base and another requiring a tinted clear coat and one matte clear part. I never feel like I get them really clean.
I usually run recycled solvent through to get rid of most of the base or sealer and then when clean thinner though for a bit and try to wipe them down. On my clear and pearl guns I only run clean.
There has to be a better way.
