The typical ratio of thinner to paint for a spray gun can vary depending on the type of paint and the specific application, but a common guideline is about 1 part thinner to 4 parts paint (25% thinner to 75% paint). For some paints, a ratio of 1:1 is also acceptable. Always refer to the manufacturer's recommendations for the best results, as different paints may require different thinning ratios.

To remove water from a spray gun, it's best to use compressed air. This helps to thoroughly blow out any residual water from the gun's internal components and nozzle.

Always ensure to clean the spray gun properly after use to maintain its performance.


Can I use a paint spray gun to paint my kitchen table?

Spray paint guns are usually used to paint things like cars. I wouldn't recommend using one for inside jobs. You should use regular paint, and paint it on there, or take the table outside and use spray paint. You don't need an industrial paint gun.
