want to know if my spray gun is usable.



i set up a clean air line for spray priming, and then bought an el cheapo spray gun from hft.  the gun has some oil on the internal parts apparently for lube or preservation from the manufacturer.



is this normal?  can i clean the gun maybe by spraying some mek or alcohol through it?   



thanks for any newbie education...

Jeff,

Just use some wash thinner and run it through the gun.  I'm assuming that 

it's a siphon type gun (looks like a Binks 7)  Best is to break down the gun 

as you would for cleaning.

Yes,  I've recently broken in a couple of new guns and can advise that

they were assembled with quite a bit of oil.  Clean it well before first

priming session. Perhaps a trial paint run to sort out settings before

pointing at some airplane parts would be wise.
