Even when empty, a spray can almost always contains some leftover paint! So here is an easy method to recover this paint from an empty spray can – a method that also can be applied to get paint out of a damaged or broken spray can. So save yourself some money and use those painting cans till their last droplets my friend…

► YOU WILL NEED
- A respirator
- Gloves
- A nail (to make an improvised awl if you do not have one)
- A bottle cap (that will be used as an anti-splatter protection)
- Some eventual containers to store the recovered paint
► DISCLAIMER
Always make sure you operate in a safe and secure manner.
For this project this means, wear a respirator as the paint fumes can be toxic. Also do not eat that stuff, even if the color looks fabulous
► INSTRUCTIONS
1) Mount the bottle cap on the nail (or on your awl) to create an anti-splatter protection
2) Lay the can horizontally and push with your nail/awl into the spray can nozzle to empty all of its gas
3) Repeat 2 again until you no longer hear a sissing sound indicating that the gas is still escaping
4) With the spray can still horizontal and with the awl slightly angled (matching the shape of the spray can bottom), puncture a hole at the bottom of the spray can
5) Remove the awl and move the spray can to a vertical position. Paint will start dripping
6) Empty the paint into your container
7) You’re welcome
