I received my can of basecoat and clear coat today from Color-Rite. I started the job this evening, but to my horror, I ran out of aeresol in the can with 1/2 a can of paint left! Has anyone else had this problem?

$64 for a can of basecoat and clear, I expect it to work!

I have used the stuff before. I think it is a bit overpriced for what you get. I would call them and see if they will make it right.

Call them they will make it right.I had no trouble with the base or top candy color I used from them.

That kind of crap happens with rattle can.

Very true...budgets sometimes come into play...you really do get what you pay for but sometimes you get a bang for your buck. Just not often!!

Maybe the nozzle is plugged up with paint.

I have that trouble with spray turtle wax. The turtle keeps getting stuck in the nozzle. :lol:

As expensive as that stuff is, I'd send it back and ask for replacement
or refund......

Update: Called Color-Rite this morning and whoever answered the phone handled my problem and shipped me out a replacement can. Now THAT is service!

Compare that to the 2 hours (literally) I spent on the phone with Microsoft yesterday getting transferred from one department to another trying to get a problem resolved.

I agree, probably was plugged, but no way to unplug it.

I use a ton of rattle cans for a varitey of projects.every once in a while I'll get a defective spray head.
I'll try and spary out the clog with Brake clean (red hose) into the clogged spray head.
But some times that doesn't work as I said because it's a defective head.So I swap it out with another spray head from one of many cans/brands of rattle paint I have in the shop.

Rattle can tip: When you are done spraying, turn the can upside down and press the nozzle until only the propellant comes out. This removes the sticky, gummy paint and leaves the nozzle free and clear.

Hang on to the bad can. You or someone could puncture the can and use it in a spray gun or airbrush.

Hey Kit,
