              I know the feeling..its been that way here for the past few days.

              and the others want to sit out side at the restaurant for bike night tonight..it will still be 90 at 7pm

                you mean redneck fireworks?
                May the road rise up to meet you.
                May the wind always be at your back.
                May the sun shine warm upon your face,
                and rains fall soft upon your fields.
                And until we meet again,
                May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
                RIP Marc

                      yeah, i've used that a few times.... a fan tip also works nicely with this method. the heat also increaces the internal p.s.i. so the paint atomizes better

                        at a shop I worked at, we had an rattle can shaker that was electric-drill powered..... it shook the hell out of the can, and it really did seem to make a difference. Haven't tried the hot water trick, though. Maybe I'll try to combine the two...

                            heating the can works great but if you get it too hot you get the "red neck fireworks" all over the place. Word of caution though, with more pressure in the can you need to move it a little faster to avoid runs as more product will be getting out and watch the over spray (more pres. = finer mist floating in the air) floating onto any parts or tools nearby.

                            also make sure to completely seal the tank. The finer mist will get into the inside rendering the carbs plugged with paint residue very quickly if you get any overspray inside the tank.
