The nozzle could be clogged

If the can feels like it still has paint in it you can switch the nozzle from another can and try again or soak the clogged nozzle in paint thinner for a day or so to try to break down the clog. CAUTION: if you switch nozzles from a different color spray it away from your project until the paint sprays the correct color, if the switched nozzle has been previously used there can be paint still in it from the wrong color.

As others have said . It could be the nozzel. Make sure you shake it up real good and you may have better results if you let the can sit in warm ( not hot ) water for a 5 minutes or so. Good luck.

Testors doesn't buy the highest quality rattle cans and nozzles, frankly. Chances are the nozzle on your can has a defect--as others have suggested, try another nozzle from another can, see if that solves the problem.

I submerge the can in hot water not boiling for a few seconds at a time, but I repeat til the can is pretty warm.... I've never really had an issue with Testors paints...

These were done using Testors paint bombs lol
