Good idea - upside down from the all metal end. Have the can resting up-side-down
for a good while to help drain stuff and keep the Freon system clean.

I might just do that myself - needing it also.

Is there any safe way to open a still-pressurized can of spray paint with a
completely plugged nozzle, to get the paint out so I can brush it on?

How about if I made a tool e.g. drilled a small hole in a Popsicle stick or
tongue depressor, turned the can upside down, removed the nozzle, and
depressed
the valve stem with the hole aligned? Maybe the air would all come out and
leave
the paint inside, then I could cut it open any way I wanted reasonably safely.

Ideas? Experience?

How about a freon can tap? You know, the clamp-on type with a barbed
needle to pierce the side of the can. Usually come with a shim or two
for various sizes of cans. I think it can get small enough to grab a
spray paint can. Do it up high to vent the pressure instead of the
paint.
And yes, this article just appeared on my news spool today. Weird.
