How do you unclog dry paint from the hose of a paint sprayer?

It's a Wagner PaintPro.How do you unclog dry paint from the hose of a paint sprayer?
if the paint is wet which it should be, this type of tool is expensive and should be cleaned when finished with the colour you were spaying, then use thinners just like you would paint, spray thinners through spay gun..


if the paint is dry, you haven't got a hope in hell, need to buy another spray gun.....How do you unclog dry paint from the hose of a paint sprayer?

You do not have to buy a new sprayer. Just remove the point and use a thin wire to remove the paint then clean it with paint thiner.

Man some people are idiots savants..


use some wire to dredge it loose and then some thinner..


or you can use hot boiling water and let it soak in it for an hour.

While I'm not at all a FAN of Wagner products, (no offense to you) I have applied multiple thousands of gallons of paint, and have a suggestion.





Obviously soaking in water might release any Latex residue, but I keep a bottle of White Vinegar handy to soak brushes in. I've renewed many of them I thought were destined for the trash bin.





The condition also manifest more readily in sprayers that do not use a compressed air system.

run paint thinner through it
Use warm water and let the parts soak, it will come right off, as long as it is latex paint.
My best advice is to find a new hose. If you remove the main clog chances are you will have small particles disturbing your paint gun and causing you more problems than it's worth.
