I have poke lots of spray cans over the yeras and have never had much
sucess in usuing the paint inside with a brush. It would either dry to
darn quick to brush out, or it would be too thin. One thing that was
most always present was the paints seemed to be super saturated with
whatever was used for propellent, and even when all pressure was out
of spray can, and pain t was place in a small container like a jar
etc, it was always sort of in a constant motion and moving with micro
bubbles gassing out, even days later. My plans to use it in an airbush
never worked either.
