[TR] Rattle Can Paint

[Dean Tetterton]

I had an uncle that had the best way to deal with partially used paint spray cans. He always used it all. When done painting what was his project, he emptied the can on his 46 Ford pickup. It was every color in the book but was always covered with paint. Not a bare spot on it and no rust.

I might have the largest collection of partially used paint spray cans. Some are several years old. My method to keep them useable is to make sure to shake them thoroughly before spraying. When finished, remove the spray tip and blow the tip clear with compressed air. No need to waste the propellant inside the can, you'll want it for the next time.My shop and garage have permanent air plumbing which makes it easy. My air gun is equipped with a small rubber tip that fits those spray tips well.Greg G.Osseo, MN-----Original Message-----From: Triumphs <triumphs-bounces at autox.team.net> On Behalf Of wbeech at flash.netSent: Wednesday, August 15, 2018 10:29 AMTo: Dave Ranteer <triumphs at autox.team.net>Subject: [TR] Rattle Can PaintIs it just me or is there no way to clear the tip of the new Rust-Oleum, and maybe others, spray cans with the “spray at any angle” feature?  Other than taking the tip off and soaking it in thinner then blow it out. Have thrown out several partial cans in the past year and taking one back to Lowe’s today.   Am I missing a secret process here?Thanks for letting me vent,Bill BSent from my Handspring Treo** triumphs at autox.team.net **Donate: http://www.team.net/donate.htmlArchive: http://www.team.net/archiveForums: http://www.team.net/forumsUnsubscribe/Manage: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/triumphs/greg@gelhar.com** triumphs at autox.team.net **Donate: http://www.team.net/donate.htmlArchive: http://www.team.net/archiveForums: http://www.team.net/forumsUnsubscribe/Manage: http://autox.team.net/mailman/options/triumphs/tr3a58@verizon.net
