I do disagree with your instructor, but...
Just make sure the CHARCOAL NIOSH filters are NEW - that is less than 8 hours of use. Also, when you store the mask, make sure you remove the filter carts and store them in an ait tight baggie. They do deteriorate in air.

If it's your gun, and you can't clean with thinner and a kit, go to your local auto paint store and have it professionally cleaned and rebuilt - it's still a better gun than any Harbor Freight gun

4. yeah a painter i know said that my gun would be OK but it def. needs a larger fluid nozzle it has like a 3 inch fan pattern

Not sure what he means - fan width is controlled on the gun. If it's a siphon, the paint output is still a gun control

yeah he told us to use a fresh air if we get a job painting but he said with the stuff we're painting (fenders and flat panels) we should be good,
and i know the fan pattern is adjustable on the gun but the cap is a .30 (i think and when i took it to painter supply they said id need a new air cap, fluid nozzle and needle
