I've had experience with spray cans "doggin" out.  The reason for this was that the cans were old.  It seems that after a time, they lose their compression or something.  It appears that may be what happened with the Eastwood products since they said that it was a slow seller.  I've bought spray cans and taken them home and had this happen.  When I returned them to the store, they admitted that the cans had been on the shelf for a while and that was probably the problem.  I use the Rustoleum Hammered and have had no problems.  I buy it at Lowes or Menards because they rotate the product quickly.

I use the Rustoleum Hammered Finish spray bombs also.  Always work perfectly.  The Hammerite line has some great colors, though.

Well Hammerite is going to contiue to be manufactured I guess that Eastwood is dropping them
for whatever reason...
As far as colors..... yes I agree their light blue and greens are awesome.
You can call Masterchem Indudtries at 800-854-0133 X3 (Customer service)
And buy it direct as told to me or they will find a supplier close to you by zip code.

I bet Bob got a older batch that they (Eastwood) are trying to unload....
But I'm wanting to finish up a candy machine and I want to use their blue so I'm glad
their going to be around.

Also Rustoelum has their own line which has some great
colors also sold at Wal-Mart and Ace hardware stores.
