Re: [Chrysler300] Eastwood paint for my 300

[cotejohnr@xxxxxxx]

Perhaps if Eastwood does have a high solids content the solids settle 
out and plug up the works.  I read somewhere that all spray cans should 
be stored on their side to increase shelf life.  I , and I'll bet all 
of us,  don't follow this storage method.  When I have a problem , I 
throw the spray nozzle into lacquer thinner ( I save all the tops so I 
can just pick another one out of the lacquer) and plug it in, turn 
upside down and hope it sprays again. Sometimes works just fine and 
sometimes it doesn't but I rarely end up throwing away cans that are 
still half full.

I"ve purchased some various paints from Eastwood and have had the same 
storage
results.  Not to defend them in any way, but I recall that the couple 
types of
paint from them seem to have fairly high solids content - would this 
tend to
cause the failures we've seen?  I've had them clog, and others, the 
propellant
gave out before the paint did.

I also have spray cans of brand X that are a dozen years old or that I 
still use
for touch-up & small projects, just not any Eastwood cans.

I had a similar problem with Eastwood. New cans of spray paint would 
fizzle
and quit. I took them to Carlisle to exchange them and they said "tough
luck"! I know a lot of folks have had good luck with Eastwood and I 
don't
want to start a dialog!!!!! I had the most problem with their "Detail 
Gray".
Their advice to me was to buy only what i needed and not to 
"overstock"! -

Not to start a dialog, but this sounds like a pretty weak excuse.  I've 
got
several cans of all brands and kinds of paint that I bought 25 years 
ago, and I
still use them for touchup, wheel wells, etc.
