I agree with quite a few of the comments in the thread. What I typically do for an exterior spray session is try to keep material in the shade and if that is not possible keep the paint covered. If say taking a break for lunch or maybe an unexpected run I will toss the gun into a 5gal bucket of water and turn the pump off. Unless your rig has issues it should be a non issue as it is a sealed system. I personally try not to leave a pump over night but that is just my personal preference.

As to a indoor scenario it is essentially the same minus the shade part lol.
