I am using it now for quite awhile.  My most problem with it, that I can't
open the can.  If I pry on the lid, it would just pull the inside of the can
out, but it won't open.  So, I punched two opposing holes in it, turned in
bigger screws to plug them after I poured out some into a spray can top.
I use those small brushes that they sell by 30 in a pack for $2.00 in a
dollar store.
I throw the brush away when its dried hard, but I keep the can top for the
next job until it can serve me.
There was time when I could open the can's lid and eventually I found that
there is an ever more thicker hardening layer that I could not break up with
a screw driver, but a hammer and a chisel.
Ever since I use the hole-and-screw method, I am getting paint out of the
can.  If it would want to slow down, I blow a little compressed air on the
top hole and it would pour fast.
The only thing worries me; what will I do if I need the paint to be steared
to get the bottom thick paint to mix with the thin top.  It appear, that the
black is not needing that much stearing (or is it steerign?).  But the
silver has a lot of thick bottom to stear up.  I really like the engine's
look when it is painted with that.  The silver can I have to turn upside
down sometimes to get it mixed.
I find the POR 15 black and silver to be real good paint.
Use gloves and throw away mini brushes.  I can wash off some spill or paint
on the hand, with gas when its still fresh.
Vanagons by now need a lot of cleaning and POR 15 under, behind the kitchen
unit, behind the rear washer tank, etc.

The List is great.  My bread and butter.
