We appreciate you reaching out and sharing your experinece! Prior to each use, it is essential that Rust-Oleum Stops Rust Clean Metal Primer Spray is thoroughly shaken for a full minute. You also want to ensure that the can is being shaken often during application, as this will prevent the pigment from settling in the can. The nozzles can also be soaked in mineral spirits to ensure they are clean and free of any lodged pigment.

Let's see what we can figure out, Bill. For best results using Rust-Oleum Stops Rust Clean Metal Primer, after vigorously shaking the can for at least one minute once the mixing ball begins to rattle, hold the can 10-16" from the surface and spray in a steady back-and-forth motion, slightly overlapping each stroke. Keep the can the same distance from the surface, keeping it in motion while spraying. Apply two or more light coats a few minutes apart until the desired coverage has been achieved. To avoid finger fatigue when spray-painting, Rust-Oleum Comfort Grip is an excellent option.

That is not what we like to hear, Jason! Prior to storing spray cans after use, we recommend wiping the tip of the nozzle clean; this will prevent clogging at the nozzle. While the can sits between uses, settling in the can will naturally occur. This can cause internal clogging to occur if the settled solids are not completely mixed prior to pressing the nozzle the next time the can is used. To prevent internal clogs, be sure to shake the can thoroughly prior to pressing the nozzle. Even pressing the nozzle once with the solids settled at the bottom can cause the internal dip tube to become partially or completely clogged inside the can, rendering it inoperable. If this occurs, you can always give us a call at 800-481-4785, and we will be happy to help with our satisfaction guarantee. - Rust-Oleum Product Support 2

This is not what we expect to hear! For the best results, we recommend applying several light coats of Rust-Oleum Stops Rust Clean Metal Primer Spray, verses trying to achieve full coverage with one coat.
