yeah that works....there is also a way to just add pressure to the can so that you can use the old paint...I forget who was doing it, but I know they are on here....by the way what colors you got?

 

I think that would be me. Yes, it is possible to add just pressure to a can with out screwing up the color.

its no secret...I think all you gotta do is find a can of just propellant, like the ones they use for the sprayers that have a bottle attached. You can find them at paint stores. You add that the same way you mix paint. But you must remeber that if a can leaked it will leak again. I also know people that have taken a good can of same color and added it to another cause you always notice a can runs out of paint before it runs out of pressure. Try and see what ones work best for you. Storing cans out of extreme cold heat will also increase the shelf life. Sometimes just warming a can up will allow it to have enough pressure to make them work.
