WD-40, liquid wrench or some similar type of anti-seize lubricant will remove gum residue....still might remove paint, but not as harsh as nail polish remover

 

damn,i am in fear to try it with wd 40 ^^ ok brb going to try it

I got some Graffiti remover on Slyle's recommendation and it works a treat. Usually start with the bottom/back side and see if the can is missing its' clear coat, then figure it's safe to proceed with caution. Bring them up a treat, plus the caps!

Oh, by the way.... maybe try using rubbing alcohol on the sticker glue. I use paint thinner, but only on cans I need to return to the store for other cans (it's a long story, but a great way to get cans for a dollar and get rid of cans you don't want). Cans I trade or sell I will usually use the isopropyl alcohol from any drug store. Just a thought.

Those are his, though the nifty pink and american beauty were mine at one time...nifty pink is not bad paint, little on watery side, but real nice light pink. I love how the sparvar states "with concentrated color, use less to cover more" I guess Krylon was trying to build up their budget brand...

those cans are cool we didn't you color correct the photos before printing them?

 

Felt like a little darkness gave them character. I dunno, I don't really like to tweak shots too much in photoshop. Don't think they'd look right on a strong white background ya know, like they were in a studio...
