Yes totally my rattle can days ended today! I did take the gun apart and cleaned it with some mineral spirits all the inner parts and everything. And it even an instruction says to sand that rod a little bit and you can see the crud on it and how smooth it feels after you just sand it for 1 minute. But that said I put a little mineral spirits and kind of sprayed it out to clean it and then use that to kind of adjust it. then I put a little bit of water in it to clean that out and spread it out because the product that I use is water soluble... I also watch some videos on just buying a can of industrial strength enamel rustoleum from home Depot and I think don't quote me but using acetone four to one...
