The brand of the spray gun doesn't matter ,
there is a low pressure gun it use between 25-45 PSI
of pressure and the high [russure spray gun it use 90 PSI
if you using Gravity gun ..you can use about the same amount for the low pressure gun 25-45 PSI,
Sory the gravity gun is the ones that have the canister in top the gun not bellow .(HVLP) High volume Low Pressure
just in case you dont know ..
I've found over the years the least amount of times you can tear a spray gun completely apart the better. Usually a real good 'flushing' with lacquer thinner will suffice. I will take the air cap off and let it soak in thinner to dislodge any build up but other than that, I simply run thinner thru till it runs clear out the tip.
I also 'back flush' which involves having thinner in the cup and the air supply hose attached. the air pressure should be adjusted quite a bit lower than what you use for spraying paint.
Then you place a clean shop towel or rag over the air cap of the gun and pull the trigger. This forces air back into the paint cup 'back flushing' the gun. Then take the rag away from the cap and pull the trigger again to run thinner thru the gun the normal way.
IF you still want to tear the gun apart for cleaning you can hopefully get some idea with this video link;
most spray guns are basically the same gravity feed is no different, air pressure into gun and out nozzle,spray pattern fan to spot and last the amount of fluid comin out of cup to the nozzle.
