Usually the thinner you mix with the paint is the recommended one. Regular paint thinner will just worsen things as you probably found out!

You should use the bags that go in the cup. That will save you some mess. Otherwise I just run a cup full of thinner through it

check the little air valve on top of the cap....if that gets clogged....your ****ed it wont get any paint out since there is no air alowing hte paint to flow out of the cup....so its the suction keeping the paint in the cup...clear the valve or try to spray wiht the top of the cup off...if it sprays fine without the top...teh air valve is your problem...if it doesnt spray well with the top off...clean the gun...really good...

THERE called pps cups, but you still have to clean the gun body, at my work we use 100% virgine lacquer thinner to clean everything. work good for us. ps. dont spray anything that you dont have to go to a "piant supplier" to get. just my 2cents
