Rattle can hint
Here's a good hint for those that use spray cans.
When done spraying, take the tip off and put it in a small bottle with a little of the appropriate thinner. (I use baby jars)
The thinner will stop the paint from hardening in the passageways. You can leave the tip in thinner for years, and it will perform just fine when you take it out.

"Rattle Can". The last time I heard that term it was from an Aussie. Good idea but make sure you don't mix up your spray nozzels because they aren't all a universal fit from can to can.
Thanks,

Also, if you submerge the spray can in a glass of hot water from the tap for about 5-10mins. it will warm the paint inside and spray a much finer mist for a more even coat.
