Default FWIW- Rustoleum spray paint

Yes, I know, I shouldn't be using it but... Anyway, they used to use the little red spray nozzles and when I was finished using a color, I'd turn the can upside down, hold the nozzle for a couple of seconds until paint stopped coming out. Then, I'd wipe off the face of the nozzle and put the can away for the next use. THEN, they started using the "fat" white nozzles. When I was finished with a color, I'd invert the can, hold the nozzle and the paint kept coming out as long as I held it!! I figured that they had found a way for a can to spray in any position. Turns out that I was only getting three, maybe four uses out of a can before it was hopelessly clogged. Rats! So, today, I disected a can. Turns out that what they did was put in a monstrous tube from the bottom of the can up to the nozzle. It probably holds enough paint for a half minute of more of spraying with the can upside down. I take that to be a clever marketing ploy to sell more paint. So, now, I'm looking for other brands that will be easier to keep the nozzle cleaned out.
