[Mgs] Spray paint DOH!

[Carl French]

What I meant to say was that the other brands of rattle can have not worked well for me. I figured I had to clarify.

  I know it works very well with Moss and Eastwood paints. I have had mixed to poor results with all other brands tried.

Carl,
I'll try Krylon again next time I need to spray with a rattle can. Perhaps the formula has changed, as I have avoided the stuff for years. Thanks for letting me know that it has worked well for you. 
Rustoleum is not without its problems. While I have had good experiences with the paint, experiences with the rattle can itself have been frustrating. Example: 3 of 4 cans of red used on last project did not empty before the valve clogged. 2 of 2 cans of satin black clogged. I was able to clean the old-style valve but these that are set deep into can top just don't clear for me. The black cans had been on my shelf for a year or so, but the red cans were fresh from the store. 
SEMA News that arrived today has an article about the EPA rule and paint shops. Amateurs may continue to strip and surface coat their cars, up to max of two per year, and may continue to paint their cars with an airbrush or hand-held, non-refillable aerosol cans.

I use Eastwood Detail Silver. I use 3-4 thin coats then when still wet I use 3-4 coats of Krylon Crystal Clear Coat. I have had the opposite experience with Krylon Paints. I have found them to be the easiest to work with and most forgiving in use with other paints than any other brand. I wont touch Rustoleum 'in most cases' just because I have had so many bad experiences.
IMHO YMMV

Krylon is OK stuff, but as they say "test on inconspicuous area" first
as it often blisters other paints. I was thinking of Duplicolor's Ford
Argent. It's not quite as brightly silver as some others.
