I do a fair bit of painting of small bits with rattle-can paint. You
can get some pretty good paint in cans if you look around.

My problem is that they all have different nozzles and patterns,
plus
I only use a bit of a can at a time, so they get clogged/lost...

Is there a gizmo made that is like a grip-trigger arrangement with a
good EASILY CLEANABLE nozzle that you can plug onto a rattle-can?

There are several solvents in spray cans, like carb and brake cleaner.
Move the nozzle to one that has a similar type (odor) of solvent and
flush it out. For lacquer-based paints you can soak the nozzle in
lacquer thinner or nail polish remover and then flush with cleaner.

I haven't had a problem with them as long as I turn the can over
afterwards and spray until the paint color nearly disappears.

I toss nozzles into a jar of brake fluid and every so often blow them
clean so I always have spares available.
