As with any spray gun, cleanliness is very important. With pressure pots, it is even more important, because the paint is fed under pressure, and if a particle of dry paint lodges in the needle seat of the fluid nozzle, the needle won't seat and paint will squirt from the gun when you let go of the trigger, and go all over the job. The paint line must be well flushed with the appropriate thinner after every use, and the hose should be regularly replaced. The handpeice should also be kept very clean. There are several advantages to pressure pots:- low overspray, less frequent refilling, a large amount of material can be sprayed quickly, and the gun can be pointed in any direction, making it a must for confined spaces, such as an engine room in a boat.
After you fill it (making sure that the paint is filtered), Screw the lid on tight, back off the pressure regulator, and the connect the air-line. First pull the trigger half way to give only air and no paint, and adjust the handpiece's air control to a level you feel comfortable with. Use a testing board and gradually wind up the regulator on the pot until you get paint through the line (pulling the trigger all the way). Increase it about a quarter to half a turn more, and then adjust the needle,or fluid feed, on the handpiece until you are getting the right amount of paint. These instructions are very general, and I have not quoted specific pressures, because these vary according to the manufacturer, also with the paint type, viscosity, etc. Adjusting a pressure pot correctly is a matter of feel, and with some practice it becomes easy.

Spray paint guns are usually used to paint things like cars. I wouldn't recommend using one for inside jobs. You should use regular paint, and paint it on there, or take the table outside and use spray paint. You don't need an industrial paint gun.
