Thanks for the info RD........So far Krylon has been great paint for hobbies..It puts up with my heavy painting just fine. I get runs with other paint....guess im impatient.

Krylon ..good stuff. I love the gloss clear.....Makes them Rockets shine.

I highly recommend the spray triggers for kids, and the young at heart.

What is this spray trigger you all are talking about? Never heard of it. Sounds like I could sure use one.

Had problems with Testors small cans, too. Once can had no pressure to speak of, and just spit out little bits of paint. ANother one gushed paint, like tio had a faulty seal, or maybe a nozzle that did not fit well.

Ironically, most of the "buck-a-can" paints I've tried shoot fine.

Another one gushed paint, like it had a faulty seal, or maybe a nozzle that did not fit well. (See below). The red fins have some imperfections from the intense spray they received. The can probably lost 1/2 its paint all over my lawn while I tried to paint the fins.

Go to any Lowes or Home Depot , they have them in the paint aisle next to the spray paint cans, it looks like a "pistol", that attatches to the top of the can and has a "trigger" that you pull , sure cuts down on finger fatigue. I still have an impression in my finger.

I have listed the model and SKU number above for the one available at Lowes. Also, hardware stores should have them as well.

But, a sure bet is Lowes, just picked one up yesterday, well worth the price, under $3.00

Thanks, I'll do just that. This will also help my 8 year old Grand-daughter who cannot at all push down the nozzle.

I have had SEVERAL cans of Testors Gloss White paint perform the "gush around the nozzle" just like your red can in the picture over the past year.
Obviously they have some sort of quality control problem with their can supplier regarding the seal to the nozzle.

The one thing I noticed on my new can of Krylon is that it no longer says re coat any time. Now it reads re coat within 1 hour or after 24 hours. So I don't know if the paint has changed I will email Krylon. I like the re coat anytime.
