Had that happen once to me back in 1993.

The Mopar engine paint is particularly bad about that.

Good paint, but lousy delivery system.

I had that happen to me back in 63 ,but another story

Another 'part rant'!! Happens more&s'more these days.

Were you bagging??

 

[snakeyes]

I sure wouldn't use black! Maybe clear

I just needed to paint a small bracket, grabbed the can and went out into the in closed breezeway. Didn't have a screwdriver with me so I just took my thumbs and pressed against the top and when she let go it damaged the nozzle. Paints going everywhere, I'm heading for the outside, like getting rid of a live hand grenade in a room full of people! I didn't think I could still run that fast but I did. Over an hour cleaning things up, especially the indoor outdoor carpet. WTF

Would have loved to have been in the yard watching while it happened! Thought you were bleeding black on the concrete there for awhile.

I was bleeding red today. Caught the back of my hand on the lower corner of the battery tray. About a half an hour later I did it again, same place and really ripped it open! Blood, Sweat, and Tears.

Time to 'pop a top' me thinks & just sit in a chair & stare at it. Let IT know who's the boss!

That’s what I like to do. Just kick back and enjoy the view.....

I usually just pop those tops off by hitting them on my outside (rear carport) steel table with the can at a slight angle. Works pretty good.

I've done that many times also. I remember doing that and the cap comes off and the center part broke out and was still on the can! Lol

I'll be useing the screwdriver from now on, that's what that little window in the cap is for. That was a new can and they're not getting any cheaper!

Yup but gotta walk to the tool box for the screwdriver lol. And the cap's center has done the same to me too plus one time the pickup straw inside the can came off because it wouldn't spray in the upright position....but it sprayed fine upside down so all was not lost. Just a bit harder to put the paint exactly where I wanted it.

Top of the food chain and we're talking about spray paint cans! Lol

Heck yeah!! Btw, have you ever been up against a bear without a BIG firearm? You'll change your mind on being top of the food chain. Hey, even a pissed off deer will mess you up if not worse.
