Today's Aerosol's are crap

-
I cut open I can a LONG time ago to find a short stiff spring inside, not a ball. I don't know what is inside most cans, haven't opened another can since.

Maybe these cans just use fresh air there in China!!! Wait there is NO fresh air in China!!!
It know getting the auto spray gun (HF gun maybe?) out requires that clean up later which I dislike, but really, buy a qt, can of Rustoleum for $9 and thin it a little. Just use their aerosol for small thing like nuts and bolts, or maybe the rad. support.
 
I've noticed that rattle can paints "spittle" WAY more than they used to.....pisses me off...

Old stock. The worst. I have had very little trouble lately. But i know lots of my paints have been sitting for a long time.
The paint is solidifying in the can and blobs block the pickup tube.
Worst one i have to deal with now is the silver wheel paint. Nozzle plugs.
 
I had one do that the other day, sprayed about 2 seconds and sputtered, then quit. I put the can in a pot of very hot water for about 10 minutes, I didn't have any problems after that. Just be careful not to blow the can up!
 
^^^ Yep the old aerosol can in the trash burning barrel trick!! Wife says it is as stupid as blowing anvils with black powder. Course not everyone does that either!??
