Here is "The Correct Way to Shake a Spray Paint Can."

Looks like you'll need an orbital motor of some kind. :-)
I re-read my post, "just to be sure", but that wasn't the
question I asked. If I'd wanted to know that, I'd read a can, Last I
looked, that info's printed on the back of every can; along with some
other info.
No prob, decided I'll just duct tape a can to the blade, quicker,
easier, faster.
If you're determined to try this, I would cushion the blade with
something (electricians tape?)and maybe use a sawzall as someone else
mentioned. Then use a hose clamp or two to fasten the can to the blade.
Any slop in the connection will allow a tooth or two or three to dig
into the can as it shakes. About 40 seconds or less of THAT action
ought to solve all your problems. Just make sure you shake it close to
the item to be painted so you can salvage at least some of the paint
that flies out once you breach the can.
