Yep. I'll follow up with some airbrush.advCo said:

I’m using the SprayMax 2k clear. I didn’t get it from Roth, but it may be the same stuff. I will say, the one thing I don’t like about the Rattle Bombs is the nozzles. They need better nozzles.Rider52 said:

Yeah, and not a good, clean or solid spray pattern. It’s hard as fuck to get a good, even coating with the flake and candy layers. They’re probably what the graffiti dudes call blaster caps or super fats, especially the flake cans. I’ll buy some chisel caps next time- the calligraphy caps.SONIC. said:

Really pretty paint work bud.
The handle jobbies aren't a nozzle deal, though. There are lots of different nozzles you can get for spray cans. Most spray cans in the US, including these Roth cans, come with a nozzle like this:Maritime said:
I prefer the German style, which also come in a larger band of sizes and patterns:
Something I think a lot of people make the mistake with is assuming the deal ends what comes in the can, but the fact is you can get exactly the same quality work out of a spray can if you don't just assume they package it with the perfect tip for your application. Admittedly, I assumed the Roth cans would be set up with the appropriate tips, since they market the products for hot rods and such.
Ass/u/me : Thanks for the lesson, Dad.
Yeah, those are a special male valve system and don't fit any other can. I like the 360 tips too.
If anyone hasn't figured this out by now, I'm an art school nerd, and old skate punk and a hip hop head. I may have played with spray cans in my life. You know. Art stuff.

Yep. That's exactly it. The round cones. This is quality paint, though. So it's undoubtedly worth it. For $20 a can, I was able to paint this bike for $60 plus another $25 for the Spraymax. I plan to spray the XS and the Dreadnotred CB750 chopper with this stuff, but I'm buying better caps when I do.
You can get them from Amazon, though $4.40 for a single cap is a bit much.

A lot of art supply stores sell them at better prices.

You just need to find out if your cans are male or female.

Split personality, I fake being smart
Irk, I learned something new again. I never knew you could get replacement spray can tops. I guess there must be a demand or they wouldn't be made available as a separate item. Only in America would someone profit from interchangeable plastic tips ;D
