Finally, pressurize the system for a few seconds for a last rinse, then verify everything’s dry before storing. Keep following these steps, and you’ll master the best way to keep your sprayer clean and ready.

To thin paint for your sprayer, first pick the right thinner—water for water-based paint or mineral spirits for oil-based.

Follow these simple steps, and you’ll achieve a flawless finish. There’s more to know for perfect results.
