I feel like a slow here, i can not for the life of me get either of my two cans of spray paint to spray.

I bought two cans of citadel spray paint and nothing comes out of either can. i have used spray paint a million times in the past and none of the tricks i know seem to work. One can does nothing at all when i press on the nozel, the other will sputter out some watery paint for a seoncd then stop.

Does anyone have any tips? experianced something similar? Is there something you have to do with new cans to get them to srpay? did i get two dud cans? am i just slowed?

any help would be appreciated.

Once at a store I ran we gon 2 cases of primer in, and the same thing happened, turns out they had missed their turn in line when the propellent was added to the cans. Not sure how that happens but, they did not have any pressure in them so it could be that. For the sputtery one, take the nozel off if you can and switch it with the one that has no pressure see if that helps, you should also hold the can upsaide down and try to clear the nozzel, sounds like its just clogged. make sure you shake the heck out of it though.

That's really odd, the sound like they have no propellant in them... You can always try taking it back to the store you got it from and explaining your situation.

As for your question, I have a can that seemed to get really weak spray quite rapidly, when the propellant ran out, I could still feel paint in the can.

yup, and if its from a Brick and Mortar store, GW will give them a credit on the can, so either way you should be able to excahange them, just do your self a favor and try to test the next ones at the shop if you can. I dont know of a game shop where the guy behind the counter isnt painting something, so he should be able to test em qucik.

thanks, i appreciate the reponses guys. The only problem with exchanging them is its a color citadel no longer make and i got the last two cans from my local shop. My entire army is painted in this color but now i want to add a few guys and its not happening which is a bummer. i may have to go to Home Depot or somewhere similar and see if they can match the color. I may just be SOL.

Ill try switching the nozels though, that is a good idea, thanks again.

Which color spray do you have..one of the old blood red or dark angels green kinda sprays?

bleached bone, which, awesomely, they no longer make.

Ah, I don't have any left over of those...was gonna just offer you mine
