of course these companies know where a good bulk of their product is heading. however im pretty sure they are clueless as to what goes into it. like most non-writers, they probably just think graffiti is done with the paint, it doesnt matter what kinda cap is on the can. we are just spraying the walls. the reason why they changed the caps for AA and painters touch is because of how they are trying to market those cans. unlike regular rusto which is marketed for 'industrial' applications, AA and PT are marketed towards the 40 year old woman who wants to paint the bench in her garden. thats why those cans are more attractive in that aspect. rusto is no frills. AA and PT cans are pretty. thats also why they are starting to come out with all those pretty colors. now if krylon was smart they would come out with a brand of 'made for art' spray paint like montana or belton, considering that their paint is mainly sold in art stores anyway
