I dont know if this has been posted on here before but theres a PDF full of some really good info on sprayguns here.
Some vital info for 'newbies' also about how to best clean and lubricate your 'tackle'.

Thanks for that Barry, I've added it to the "Links" forum.

That is good information. At night college we were taught to strip the spray gun down to the needle and wash everything, especially the needle and paint cup clean with gun wash thinners. Then reassemble the spray gun leaving about 1/2 " of thinner in the bottom of the cup. That is when using 2 pack paints.

At home, using cellulose and chassis black etc, I find it sufficient to clean the cup and run thinners through the pickup tube till the thinners come out clear from the fluid tip. Then spray a few blasts of thinners at the wall.
