What should I do if my spray paint stops working?
Paint is leaking from the can itself, sometimes foaming, and accumulating under the cap and/or at the spray base of the can.
Only a small amount of paint sprays from the cap, runs down the cap and accumulates underneath.
No paint comes out of the cap, it all accumulates underneath.
This may be a manufacturing error. If the paint is leaking from the spray can itself and accumulating under the cap, please send us an e-mail with photos via info@royaltalens.com and we will help you find a solution or replace the can entirely.
This can happen when the cap of your spray paint is slightly clogged by dried up paint. The paint is unable to completely leave the cap, which makes it run down the side and creates a mess. To unclog your spray paint cap, take it off the can and clean it with a wet cloth. If this doesn’t work, try using our cap cleaner. Just place the cap on top of the cap cleaner and spray until it runs clear. In some cases, the paint has dried out too much and does not budge. Completely dried out caps are unsalvageable and should be replaced.
In this case, your cap is completely clogged with dried paint. Try cleaning it like in case 2, with a wet cloth or our cap cleaner. If this doesn’t help, you should replace it.
Yes we do! Standard spray paint caps are sold separately in a set of 6, or for avid users, a set of 100! We also offer an assorted set with 2 of each special cap (Super Skinny, Soft and Fat). If you don’t feel like buying new caps all the time, read on to find out how to prevent your spray paint cap from clogging.
How can I prevent my spray paint cap from clogging?
When your cap is clogged, use the Amsterdam cap cleaner to easily unclog it.
Put them on the cap cleaner after every session to clean them out and prevent them from clogging in the first place!
How to use:
- Place the clogged cap on the cap cleaner
- Spray approximately 2-3 seconds until the spray runs clear
- Now your can is ready for your next painting session
Take off the caps of the spray cans and use just one at a time for all of your colors. If the cap gets clogged, replace it with another! This way, your caps will last longer.
