[Amps] spray painting metal

[Hardy Landskov]

Notice also that the bottom of a spray can is concave. Pigment collects in 
the bottom of the can around the edge. Twirl the spray can in a circular 
motion so the mixing ball does a few laps around the bottom edge of the can. 
Do this as well as shaking.
