Lowes new Valspar spray cans are TERRIBLE

[midnightmadman]

Has anyone else tried these things yet!? I ripped the top locking ring off and it still sprays horrible and then starts dripping, 3 cans have done it so far.
Theres no way to put an old tip on either.. im disappointed.

I bought the Valspar metalic copper to respray our fireplace cover and I shook the hell out of it and never heard the ball inside and figured...oh this must be some new type of spray can.
In any case i finish spraying the frame but I don't see any metalic look to it and then I had to spray one area a little extra and suddenly I can hear the ball rolling around and then the metalic flakes came out and the screen looked like chit.

had to go buy another can and respray, only this time I tested every can on the shelf until I could hear the ball inside. probably old product.
