ABSTRACT:
A paint gun cleaning apparatus is provided that prevents the collection of overspray on the discharge end of the paint gun. The cleaning apparatus includes a drum that defines an aperture for insertion of at least the discharge end of a paint gun. The apparatus also includes a fin assembly inside of the drum for directing paint and solvent discharged from the paint gun away from the paint gun. A splash cone also helps direct discharge away from the center of the drum, laterally toward the fin assembly. The apparatus also includes a source of suction for drawing material discharged from the paint gun away from the discharge end of the paint gun. By preventing the collection of overspray it is not necessary for an operator to wipe the gun clean.
