Howdy,

I managed to strip the threads on a Devilbiss Finishline 4 where the cup screws into the gun. The fluid inlet I stripped is a 3/8" NPS female.

Will it be possible for me to fix this by rethreading it or will I have to just buy another gun?

Thanks!

I would certainly try to re-tap it; as long as you can get the cup to seat properly it ought to be ok.
