Old Spray Paint Gun Restoration | Mister Patina

In this Video im restoring an old Spray Paint Gun, made in the GDR/DDR - eastern Germany. I bought this Spray Gun online from a private guy. When i received it, the gun was very sticky and made strange noises while operating it. Time to restore this old beauty! I started with a gentle disassembly because this spray gun is mostly made of aluminum, a very soft metal. After disassembling i continued with washing all the dirty parts, to get rid of some loosen dirt and other stuff. Just washing it wasnt so effective, so i gave the parts a second bath in washing gasoline/petrol/white spirit to get rid of old paint and other stubborn dirt. Most of the parts came out really clean, some other parts needed to get deepcleaned with the wirebrush. After wirebrushing the main body part, i inspected the parts and detected some defects on the nozzle lock, a brass screw and other small parts. Time to test my new lathe mill. As iam a newby on the lathe mill, please dont be to critical with me, iam still learning. Some other parts were also put in the lathe, not for milling, but just for cleaning and sanding them with sanding paper and scotch brite. The parts and screws turned out really nice, so the most of them got polished on the benchgrinder afterwards, for a nice mirror finish and a nice even surface for good operation. The Main Body and the paint cup were just sanded and wirebrushed, because of a strange texture of the surface i didnt want to polish them. Now the parts are ready for reassembling, i didnt use any grease for it, because grease/vinyl/silicone would react badly with paint. I bought an air connector to connect the spray paint gun to my air compressor for the final test. In the test the paint gun showed, that its working perfectly fine. The Paint flow control and the air flow control doing a nice job and i sprayed some water to show you the final result.

Thanks for watching!
