spray paint problem!

Allright i dont know if you have seen my other thread about the porshe that i got.........it was supposed to be chrome........but i couldnt make it chrome becuase my spray can was messed.......so i was wonderin if you guys could help me out here

allright whenever i spray the chrome it comes out in a stream rather then the normal thing..............i held the nozzle thing of it under hot hot water for like 2 minutes hoping it would clear up.........but no it didnt..............so i was wonderin if you guys knew anythin i could do.............................and yes i made sure i shook it properly.......

yeh i shook it for like 5 minutes jsut to make sure.......

Spray it upside down to clear the nozzle, then heat the can up before you spray.

how long should i heat it up for?

Heat it up in a bowl of water where you still want to put your hand in, and I would warm the underside of the can until the upper side is warm to. But about that I cuold be wrong...

Could be a faulty nozzle. What brand spray paint is it?

Make sure that the nozzle isn't clogged. If it is, running it under water won't clean it. You could remove the nozzle and let it soak in paint thinner (what ever kind of thinner is recommended for the type of paint it is) and see if that helps. If it doesn't, return it and get a new one, or just take the nozzle off of another spray can and put it on.

Probably the spray Nozzle is messed up, or cloged.

its one of the testor spray nozzles.............i dunno if that will help...........and yeh i'll try everythin you guys said and i will get back to you and tell you wat happened....................

thanx for the help

Hey make sure u spray all the old paint out of the Testors nozzle or the paint maybe will mix.

k ill make sure of that.............i'll do everythin you guys mentioned tommorow cause im way too tired right now................

later and thanx for the help and suggestions

How old is this can of chrome paint is what im wondering....

Do not use chrome on a car body. Look at a real car that's painted silver is the body reallly that bright? Try to get Tamiya's TS-17 Gloss Aluminum for silver car body's I think you will like it allot better. Here is an example.

oh nice thanx...............yeh i ended up paintin it red anyways.............


i bought the can 1 day ago but i dunno how long its been sittin in the store for.........
