Rapco paint is no longer Gillespie?

Bummer... I guess mine are the old style too.

I also notice that the old can says Net Weight of 11 ounces on the old and 12 ounces on the new.
Wonder why the one ounce difference? Don't quite imagine it would be more paint in the new can.

I have saved all those extra nozzles and it is interesting that I noticed some were different.
I guess glcaines comment explains that!

the old style had 5.7 oz of propellent and solvent, the new cans have 6.8 oz. Same amount of paint, but commiefornia compliant other stuff.

I got one of those given to me and thought it was a waste of time. Figured I should at least try it though... Turns out you do have a little better control with the handle on the can - like a real paint gun. Mine didn't have a special nozzle though. Just a can holder. You supply the can and nozzle.

I recently painted a 3ft x 2ft box with it on the back right of my wrecker. It looks incredibly smooth and even and I used the can gripper.

That information and a nickel won't but you a cup of coffee though

The biggest benefit for me, when I used it, was that it eased trigger finger fatigue when painting a lot at one time.

The extra nozzles are the old version. The new cans don't have enough space under the cap to fit a second nozzle according to Mark.

If you need new spray nozzles: here's a link to the nozzles that Duracoat uses for their Aerosol Cans. Wonderful nozzles - fan type spray with super fine mist. I bought 200 of them so I never have to worry about nozzles again. .45 cents each

MONTANA FLAT JET MEDIUM BLACK / YELLOW CAPS

Montana Cans feature a cap system with a variety of interchangeable caps that allow artists to customize spray width on the same spray can to achieve different effects for different projects. Cap nozzle sizes range from ultra-thin, for detailed work, to extra-fat for covering large surface...

You can also get multi-packs of the nozzles in various sizes, at about twice the cost.

Has anyone tried the replacement nozzles in the previous two posts? Feedback?

I bought an assorted pack of the Montana nozzles on Amazon. They definitely work better. But they need to be viewed as single use. I found once the paint dried in them from a prior application they did not work as well

Single use wouldn’t bother me. But do they spit paint as bad as the included nozzles?

No they are much better than the standard nozzle. These Montana caps are the choice of graffiti artists everywhere. (Not kidding about that, I saw them featured in a film about train taggers)

If Montana made more shades of OD, it would be great. IMO, the best spray can paint ever.
