What spray paint do you use?

sounds like a text book. Of course the paint is shaken well and when finished painting, turned upside down and sprayed until clear.El Coolmino said:
My experience with rustoleum gloss black or bbq black, is once it has been used, put it back on the shelf for a few months, and used again, it never sprays like a new can. Additional shaking has never corrected the problem. Eventually, the tube inside gets clogged and the can is junk. I have had this same experience for 30 years.
I used a Spray Grip along with Krylon Semi Gloss Black when I shot my son's 150cc scooter.
When we got it, it was a hideous Olive Green, and I shot it the Semi-Gloss Black
Came out pretty well, if you ask me. I set up a little booth in the garage and pulled all the panels off the frame and shot each one after sanding/priming/sanding/tacking...

I almost exclusively use Dupli Color...it is worth the couple extra bucks, esp. when doing a low budget "spray" job, the quality of both the paint and the cans seem to be a little better than any other brand I've found. For a low budget paint thru a gun, Rustoleum seems to be great, quality and gloss, durability, etc., is awesome for the price, roughly $20 a gallon, but their spray cans suck.
On engines I always use either Dupli-color, or VHT. On headers I always use the VHT high heat stuff. I have always had problems with almost every other brand of spray paint. What makes the Dupli-color paint so much better to use is the nozzle design. It actually sprays a fan pattern instead of a round(or dot) pattern. Personally I hate Krylon. I see all kinds of cool stuff that they make, but everytime I try them I end up disappointed with the results.
I'll usually run my spray bomb cans under relatively hot water for a little while before using them & the Spray Grip thingies are great! This one is nice & comfy & is a breeze to get on & off:

I like to use SEM paints for anything I can. The cost a little more, but crap like that usually doesn't happen with SEM. That has happened to me when the paint is cold, not shaken enough, or old.
