Power Unit, 4 Pack - Replacement Handheld Aerosol Spray Refill 0268

I used this to spray air dry Cerakote, so these comments are based on this paint system. 1) The trigger only really works when it's fully depressed. Anything less and you'll get poor atomization and possibly heavier droplets. You have to be mindful of distance to the surface and sweep speed because those are really the only parameters you can control when spraying. As with most atomized paints, spraying too close and too slow will give you runs. I think the unit atomizes Cerakote well enough. 2) The unit must be upright when spraying. You have to move the part to get into hard to reach areas. 3) The sprayer must be cleaned after use otherwise the product will dry within the sprayer and it won't work next time you want to use it. I fill up the jar with acetone and spray until the paint is visibly diluted. 4) A single canister seems to have enough life where the value seems justified. Canister life is obviously affected by #3, so it helps to have all parts ready to go at once.

Sprayed basic Rustoleum "stops rust" oil-based paint thinned with acetone. The paint was my own mixture of royal blue, hunter green, and aluminum to mimic an original Ford-Lincoln color from the 1960s for use in engine bay and trunk (would have paid ten times the amount for automotive paint, with no guarantee that the color was right). Excellent results. In my case, two parts acetone with one part paint in hot weather was perfect: no bumps, no running, very fine spray. It is a tool. You must have patience and find your own method.

I have used this product before and had great success, so when the time came to paint more air vents I sought out a more economical way to buy these aerosol cans. Way cheaper on Amazon and I bought a four pack. Four cans were way more than I needed to finish my job. All four cans failed. Out of four cans I was only able to spray one coat onto the louvres of one vent. They wouldn’t even suck up water. The aerosols would only empty themselves and even back spray on their own. I had some success with a hot wet towel wrapped around the aerosol, but again I did not get much paint through these cans. Waste of time and money. I will never buy again and I suggest you save yourselves the headache. I bought a mini paint sprayer for my pancake compressor at Harbor Freight for ~$16. Test run looks amazing so going to try that tomorrow.

I have been using this product for years- this particular shipment has not been used by me yet, but will be shortly.

Great for small jobs and painting Leather

Good purchase and was packaged well. Husband was very happy to find these so easily at such a good price

Easy to use and a great way to do small areas with minimal waste. Good for the DYI doer

Save your money - this product was a complete waste of time and money. It states that it "atomizes" any liquid into a sprayable paint and I had really high hopes for this because I do not have a spray gun. Unfortunately it was a complete disaster, the product is defectively designed, there is a gaping hole in the middle and it is constantly spurting and dribbling the liquid that you put in it that is supposed to be sprayed on. It made a complete mess and ruin the finish of the product that we were trying to work on. I could not be any more disappointed. Worst of all they do not take any refunds for this product so it was a total waste of money too. VERY DISAPPOINTED!!!
