You Made It This Far
One of the common problems that I have seen as an instructor is students trying to paint with pattern problems. An improperly cleaned paint gun can cause a number of problems, which could have been prevented if the spray gun would have been properly cleaned the prior use. You spent hours repairing and prepping this car, don't let a dirty spray gun ruin it for you.
Prevention
It is really simple to prevent many of the spraying problems by proper cleaning. The key is to clean it each time that you use the spray gun. There are different cleaning systems, but they are all designed to remove all coatings from inside and outside of the gun. Once the gun is clean you can wipe it dry and store it for the next use.

@snowman4839 That is a good question. You can add some clean thinner is a paint cup and use a brush to clean it. Then you want to spray some clean thinner through the gun. Hazardous rules still apply for the DIY. You can us a paint can to store the waste thinner. You can check with a body shop to see if they can recycle it.
