I don't mind using spray cans for some of the markings and some of the trim colors. I usually don't use them to spray the entire plane because I have too much trouble with runs when trying to wet out a large area.

One of the disadvantages I have with spray cans is that I don't use them very much and, over time, I have some nearly full cans that have lost their propellant. Seems a shame to throw away all that paint.
Aptar,
you can repressurize those cans-just take a blow nozzle with the rubber end on it-set the air to 60psi and take off the spray cap and insert the blow nozzle and fill it up with air-works great for me.When I spray with cans-I put them in hot water for 15-20mins.- they spray MUCH better then.
