I actually didn't know what I used I just went to the garage and looked and they're all rustoleum camo colors I bought when I painted my AR about 2 years ago. I just used it again about a month ago to paint some pig pipes.

Maybe that is why your pig pipes didn't work

I'm gonna make a video for Garvey of me spraying every one of the bazillion rusfoleum cans I've got at the shop. Stuff works just fine for me, are you sure you're pushing the button on top and not the bottom part?

Aw snap...

Maybe draw some stick figure pencil how to diagrams.

Lol, this will be entertaining in the morning.

invert the can and blow the paint out of the nozzle before storing the can

Did it.

What else ya got?

And there is your answer......I just about to post that.....

...and if they still clog up tape them to your targets and shoot them.....you can simultaneously repaint the target and take out a frustration towards the manufacturer.....

Shelf full of usable spray paint

Great answer

And that is Krylon.

I've cleaned Rustolem nozzles with acetone, paint thinner, Oxy-Fuel torch tip files, you name it. Still end up with very full cans that won't let out any paint. Rustoleum is a waste of money.

Did you shake it REALLY well before using? Lol

shake it ?????

oh chit !!!!

You guys are a hoot, better then the Sunday funnies. Getting good info is only second to the entertainment ya'll provide!

Then the only thing left to do is tape them to your targets and take out a little frustration.....be sure to post pics....video from a drone would be even better.....

I bet all of these Rustoleum problems are with the regular type spray cans, not the inverted marking paints. I've gone through a couple dozen cans of the marking paint over the last two years with zero clogs. And every can has completely emptied out.

Ground marking paint is water based. I believe. I wasn't satisfied with the coverage and adherence it made.

Yep, water based and biodegradable. Harmless to plants and critters. You can definitely see some bleed through on my pics, but I've never noticed it while shooting. I leave my target hanging and always paint after the last shot. Come back a week later, even after a rain, and it's ready to shoot.

I just pulled out two 16-year-old cans of Rustoleum and although I had to shake the hell out of them, they ran just fine.

I never thought painting steel targets would be so involved and passionate.
Usually I just buy the cheapest paint from Walmart for steel targets…Now I feel completely stupid for not giving this more thoughts.

Did anybody address the OP question?

This is the THF

heck no, too many people measuring their ____ instead of answering the questions. I saw this being used by some real, professional long range shooters, of course these shooters get paid to shoot so I guess they get paid to "push" this paint, looked really good but oh well.
