Use paint thinner or mineral spirits to clean after any oil based products. Also do not follow with water, leave clean paint thinner in the pump.

Yes I was at Sherwin Williams and had a manager contact them to ask what the make up of Pump Protector was. The verified that it was in fact antifreeze and the chemical makeup was the same as auto antifreeze. I have been using auto antifreeze ever since as it is 10 times less money.

I am a firm believer in Titan and Graco. I have used both for about 12 years now and they work awesome. Tried and true. For weekend and pro's. For a weekend warrior the Titan 440i is amazing.

Find the right product for the right application and you will not have a problem.

You are wrong here. A PVA primer is what is used and is thin for exactly that purpose. To soak in and seal creating a good surface for the paint to bond to. Thinning the paint only degrades it quality. If the walls are mopped correctly by the drywallers you will never have the problem you describe. The pumps and motors are designed to spray the paints just the way they are manufactured. The paints are designed to be used just as they are manufactured.

I have never once thinned out any paint in my entire career. There is no need to as the paints are made to use without thinning. All you do is degrade the quality of the paint.
