I keep all the good old tips and change them out if they clog. Keefer hit it with lanolin spray after it will never hold the grass on it kind of like organic Teflon!
I've had terrible luck with Rustoleum's cans. Got two or three Rusty metal primers that are full but won't spray.
Any direction spray cans. Just threw two cans that still were about half full in the trash. I was always pretty good about inverting the can and clearing the nozzle before putting a can back on the shelf. Cant do that with these cans. So I end up throwing out good paint...
One older style can of ACE brown was still good and got a first coat under the mower deck with that. Then topped with a fresh coat of black Rustoleum.

They are usually fine when new. But after that its hit or miss if they will spray again. I even pull the tips off and blow through with air nozzle sometimes. I still think they may be the best for rust protection. But I much prefer Krylon for a nice finish. I have found them to consistently spray good.I've had terrible luck with Rustoleum's cans.

Yep. Not sure how they work to be able to spray upside down. But no way to clear the valve/pickupRustoleum switched to some new fangled tip a few years ago.
Problem may be in the pickup tube
Maybe the best would be to find someone with a electroplating setup.And what kind of gray galvanized paint did you find that looked best??

Actual galvanized has a 'mottled' look that I don't know how you will get with paint. I think I painted mine with Rustoleum aluminum and then a very light coat of Krylon stainless steel or maybe nickel.And what kind of gray galvanized paint did you find that looked best??
I do it here super easy and pretty cheap to get started under 100 for it all and most of the chemicals come from the supermarket except the zinc sulfate which any garden supply has, just need a zinc plate or ingot. E bay $5.00Here's some guys that tried a DIY plating.

Mine is what it is.... Craig is trying to get rid of chrome look. 'we' think they were galvanized. From what I remember of mine it was a big flaky pattern something like this:Can you find a example of what you want it to look like Keith?
Fluid film.lanolin?
That's definitely galvanized. Wonder if eastwood has something to do it?

LMAO, when they did that to me I put a big dollar sign on. The nurse was not amused!When they re-attached my patellar tendon in my knee I was laying there in the staging lane waiting for the Demeral and kinda looking forward to it . Instead the nurse hands me a Sharpie, "Here mark the knee they are supposed to work on". "Ya mean they don't have it written down? What kinda place is this?" CUT HERE ~~~~~~~> gets scribbled on the right thigh . And no Demeral . I was so disappointed.
