I have been painting professionally for 25 years. I keep a few old toothbrushes handy in my shop. After each use, I run about a half cup of lacquer thinner through the gun, then repeatedly dip a toothbrush into a cup of clean thinner and scrub off all the paint that I can see on the outside of the gun as well as underneath the cap where the siphon tube attaches. If I ever discover an accumulation of dried paint somewhere, I pour about two cups or so of lacquer thinner into a bowl or whatever, then I dismantle the head and soak the parts overnight. By the morning, all the dried paint has curled up and released it"s grip. I just use the toothbrush to remove it. I have a Binks gun that I have been using regularly for 25 years and have only had to have the guts replaced one time. Some of the cheaper brands, like Astro for example, are Binks copies. The parts are interchangeable. I got a real good gun real cheap by buying an Astro for $35, taking it down to my supplier, and having them replace the cheap chinese guts with Binks guts. These kits are only a few bucks. More than worth it.
