**AS THE PAINT DISTRIBUTOR, LET ME AD ONE MORE TIP** The Biggest Thing Spray Bomb (aerosol can) Users Don't Do Correctly or Enough Is, To Shake The Can Correctly! The Can Is Purposely Made In Such A Way So You Can SEE When The Paint Has Been Shaken Enough & Is Well Mixed.... The Cans Were Designed For You To Shake The Can Up & Down Vigorously & Hard, Thus Leaving Tiny Dents In The SOFT Bottom Of The Can! You Should See Many Dents In The Bottom Of The Can, If Not, You're Not Shaking It Hard Enough To Fully Mix The Paint! ALWAYS Shake The Can Vertically, Not Side To Side In A Twisting Manor....... **LAST** You Should Store Your Cans Upside Down If Going To Be Stored On A Shelf For Long Periods Of Time, This Keeps Humidity That Forms Inside The Can From Rusting Inside The Spray Relief Valve.

As always a great video. Heating the can doesn't just warm the lacquer itself, but also the propellants, so the can has more pressure. This, (along with warmer, thinner fluid) , helps to create the finer atomisation.

I refinished a broken neck and repainted a headstock and as a rank novice they were all things I had to deal with, to learn about and do. And they all help get a nice finish. I wouldn’t have known those things had I not read about them in a book.

Something I picked up from scale modeling videos. When you decant canned aerosol paint (spraying a small amount into a jar for detail work) DON"T put a lid on your jar until the propellant has had a chance to "gas off". If you seal that small jar too soon, it will explode.

Great Video - Thanks!! One thing to know though, and to be Very Aware of about "heating" an aerosol can.... part of the reason the paint comes out in a finer mist is Not only due to the paint "thinning" due to warmer temps as you pointed out..... but, also because the elevated temperature also Raises the internal pressure of the propellant, forcing the product out at a faster rate than normal. There is ("usually"), however... a downside to this, and that is... that it is "possible" to run out of propellant, BEFORE you run out of the product... in this case, paint, as has happened to me a couple of times. You can apply this same technique to Any aerosol product if needed.... but just be aware that in some cases (Not All), in heating and raising the internal pressure that.... 1) you "could" run out of aerosol before the product is fully discharged,.... and 2) Be VERY Careful in preheating the aerosol container, because different manufacturers use different propellants for pressurizing, depending on the product and "some" can "react" very violently (re: Explosive) when heated. Some propellants pressurize exponentially in relation to the heat applied and "can" explode at container temps of 100 degrees +/-...... READ the Caution label on ANY aerosol container..... most will tell you Not to allow the container to be exposed to sustained direct sunlight (primarily in the summer) or Any other heat source above 100 - 120 degrees or explosion may (Will) result. I have witnessed an aerosol paint can explode (it was about 1/3rd to 1/2 full) that was forgotten and left in the sun on a hot early August afternoon for only about 20+ minutes..... fortunately, the paint was white.... and so was my shop next to where it was sitting..... the container looked like a frag grenade went off inside of it... am very thankful that I (or anyone else) was not standing close by it, when it went off. Sorry for the "book".... just be careful when heating and (therefore) pressurizing aerosol cans... of Any kind. Thanks for tips.

You should also align the spray tip with the round black mark on the top ring of the can. You can see the mark in this video when turning the tip is discussed. This aligns the pickup tube with the paint in the can so you get it all out of the can instead of sucking air.

another reason not mentioned for heating the can/lacquer is that when you spray, you are expanding propellant liquid to a gas, which makes cold (how air conditioners work). This can cause condensation, which can cause blushing in marginal humidity conditions. It's not generally an issue on very dry days, but with humidity higher than 65-70%, it can happen. The extra heat can reduce this.

I wish I watched this tips before had to learn some of them the hard way on my kit build avatar. A proper mix is very important! Now I do a mix of 90% shaking the can up and down vigorously and 10% rolling the ball around the bottom and up around the walls of the can. All for a whole minute, turning the can upside down and viceversa. Then I let the can rest upside down for ten seconds, to allow the resulting bubbles inside to pop. Don‘t stop the spraying movement at the edges of the piece, it will build up too much there. Just spray slightly over it, doing a „breakdance- lock‘n‘popp“-like move when changing direction. Take a close look on the instructions referring the recommended temperature of the environment. If too hot (the same if you spray from too far), the tiny drops will be half dry before hitting the surface, and the paint will also dry too fast later on the surface and not uniform enough.
I started using a heating pad to warm my lacquer cans - just wrap the pad around the can and secure with a bungie cord. Putting the cans in water resulted in the labels melting off, this way keeps everything intact.

Warm lacquer definitely sprays better. the results look like a mirror. Before heating the can in hot water, make sure you have a Sharpie pen and clear packing tape because the water will melt the glue causing the paper label to fall off. Dry the can, mark what was in it with the Sharpie and then cover with a piece of clear packing tape so the sharpie ink won't rub off.
