I recently wanted to paint a small bracket, using some original* Rustoleum. It was a small job, less than 20 sq in, and a rattle can would have been perfect. Google turned up new re-fillable rattle cans & even videos of re-using empty rattle cans.
But I'm thinking that it might not be so easy. It might be especially hard to get the viscosity right. I can see trying a too-thick paint and having it clogged to a PITA state.
Anybody ever done this & how hard was it to get the right viscosity? Trial & error, or is there a known viscosity to use? I suppose that I could take a little-value rattle can, empty it, & measure the viscosity - how well might that work?
Thanks, Bob
