house of color paint, painter exp wanted !

ok guys i have another post going its located here
https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/sho...hreadid=183111
ok now when i orginaly layed down my world products base coat, and sealer, the paint was fine try time was normal i suppose,

now when i swicthed over to house of color paint's that stuff dries extremly fast, i using the 310 fast reducer, but it recomends 65-75 degree temp, i turned down my air pressure to see if that would help, but its like really really fast drying time, so much its kinda clogging up my paint gun, allso, when i clean the gun and allo, with regular paint thinner, it turns the house of color paint into gobs of paint, , and soo with that being said how do i get clear it out of my gun, , and how do i remove the nozzle on the end to get to it, picture shows what im talking about, i have a devilbliss hvlp gun, , what is everyones process in cleaning after painting,

my last guestions is i layed down ultra orange pearl, now i did lay down the white base coat they recomend to make the pearl brigther, but its not as birght as i thougt, , will pearls become more reflective once the clear coat goes on, ? allso what would happen if i used a kandy color over the pearl ? would save me alot of time taping the bird back off,

lots of guestions sorry, well here are some pics of my gun and what im talking about

Your needle/tip should scew out the back like most guns do.

I always spray a cup full of thiner through my gun when Im done.

Then pull it all apart and clean it up.

screw out the back, ? when i take the nozzle off, i cant seem to get the black plastic nozzle to turn at all , so i cant get to the paint thats cloged down in the hole, well i have been regular paint thinner, and i usally run it though the gun to when im done, but for somereason when the hok paint was mized with the thinner it turns into a real gooey, substance, and it all down in my gun and all , and it even messed up my airbrush , not sure how to go about cleaning both , , its a real mess
