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

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.

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.
