You guys having any luck storing Krylon or Rustoleum?  Cans I have bought in the last ten years will clog after the first couple uses, and cannot be resurrected.  What a waste!

I have Duplicolor cans from way back - they always work to the last drop.  No hazardous waste problem.  They did change their yellows three years ago, and now Schoolbus Yellow is an ugly pastel color.  I stockpiled the older cans, since they match my aircraft.

I use a lot of RustOLeum X2 paints. Unlike the earlier designs, you can't do the ol' flip em and clear em' routine, but I do wipe down the nozzle right after each use with alcolol or lacquer thinner and that seems to help. And as another member said, in many cases, replacing the nozzle on top with rescue the rest of the paint. There is a limit, a one year old partial can might not spray any more, but for $4, I'll go get another one.
