Spray Paint Cans
Spray Paint Cans
(OP)
As I get older, I find I have less tolerance for cans of spray paint that don't. I have always religiously followed the instructions to shake the can for at least a minute after you hear the ball start to rattle and then invert the can to spray out the pick up tube when you are finished painting. I also used to clean out the nozzles with fine wire. I used to soak the nozzles in a jar of lacquer thinner. I used to stick the nozzles on a can of brake cleaner to blow them out. These days there are more nozzle sizes/configurations on the paint cans and cleaner cans that this method is no longer practical. One method I have found that works is to shoot the offending can with a .22. Then they spray real nice.

The problem with sloppy work is that the supply FAR EXCEEDS the demand

You are judged not by what you know, but by what you can do.

perhaps the designer will soon make non-replaceable nozzles.
all the more reason for destructive entertainment.

Doing that, the experience has been very rare to have a can fail to spray... Very simple solution to prevent ,

I've found that I can use my compressor to re-pressurize cans sometimes, as well as blowing the nozzles clean.
And sometimes it doesn't work- lots of times the smartest thing is to toss it and use a new one...
