to use it you putthe paint in the white canister using a paint filter. When you spray it you want the air and paint coming out to be even so to adjust the air you use the **** thats on the backside of the handle. The part facing you when you'r painting. It really isnt that hard to use. Just put a roll of paper on a garage wall of something and practice. Of couse you'll need an air compressor and hose. To clean it when you're done, take off the nossle, take off the canister that holds the paint, and also take off the air adjustment. Be carefule with that thought, the **** is connected to a pin that goes to the nossle of the gun and around that pin is a spring (just like a pen that has the clicking thing you know, when you take it apart theres that spring around the ink tube) then clean it by putting it in a paint gun cleaner or using brush. Cant think of it right now but theres a type of brush you can use and a type you cant (refering to the bristles). but if you use the wrong one your gun is f'd, so make sure you find out the answer before you try. When you think you're done cleanin hold the nossle tip up to a light and make sure you see light through all of the holes. Thats all i can think of right now. I may have described it poorly but hopefully you understand. Im sure someone else will have more to say/ clearly describe.

if you need to ask how to use a paint gun, i wouldnt paint anything. take a good class on it before you try to do it. i know of a bunch of community colleges that do courses on painting like that. this isnt me flaming you, id just rather see sumthin get done right, and maybe if you get it down, you can make a little money doin it.

just my .02
