How to fill the paint yourself in an aerosol can?

An interesting solution for coating - paints produced in cans. With their help, you can evenly paint the surface. The consumption of paint and varnish material due to aerosol spraying is not very large, and the marking on the product helps to facilitate the selection of the desired tone. Refilling paint cans can even be done independently. The presence of marking codes is very important when, for example, a car body is partially repaired or restored.

But such a factory form of production costs much more than conventional dyes, and it is not always possible to choose the right tone among the finished products. What to do in this case? You can fill in the spray can you purchased or tinted with your own hands the right paint yourself, or you can turn to the services of specialists, and then use all the advantages of fine spraying.

Benefits of Aerosol Dyeing

The use of paints and varnishes released in finished containers with a spray provides several advantages:

1. Material saving. All paint that is released from the spray will fall precisely onto the surface to be painted, and will not remain on the roller, brush or other paint tool.
2. Speed ​​of preparation for use. Such paint does not need to be diluted and poured into a container for convenient use. It is enough 5 seconds to shake the bottle with the dye so that the balls inside it provide mixing of the solution, and you can spray the coating on the surface.
3. The possibility of dosed use by the difference in the force of pressing the sprayer. When painting small scratches and cracks, a little pressure on the spray button is enough.
4. The ability to carry out partial restoration repairs by spraying the ink onto damaged areas. With the right color, after drying, the surface will appear evenly tinted.
5. Easily stained even the most inaccessible places.
6. No special painting skills are required, even an amateur will cope with the work.
7. Remains of paint in the spray can not be used quickly, in such containers they will retain their original qualities for a long time.
8. Convenience during storage and transportation: the balloon container is airtight, coloring substances from it will not spill out and will not stain the floor.

In such containers, coloring substances of various composition and qualities are produced; they can be used on wood, metal, glass, concrete; apply for outdoor or indoor use. Selecting the right color is not difficult.

When it is necessary to fill the dye into the bottle

This must be done if:

• the tinted paint remains, and it must be preserved for a long time;
• color matching among finished aerosol products is not possible (for example, a complex color or there is simply no such dye).

You can upload paint to the spray bottle by contacting a specialized company, where, using a vacuum unit, quickly fill the required container. But such a refueling is quite expensive, and if immediate use is expected, then you can do the injection of paint into the bottle with your own hands.

How to refill the cylinder yourself

Filling of paint and varnish solutions in a spray can very well be done with your own hands.

Of course, it will not provide such a full filling, as with a vacuum pump with a special installation, but it is simple and cheap.

The cylinder can be used repeatedly.

Tools required:

1. Empty spray can from deodorant or paint. If you use a container after dyes, then you need to fill in a solution of the same quality (for example, after acrylic - acrylic, after alkyd - alkyd). Wrong selection of paint components can lead to a “chemical conflict” that will affect the quality of the coating.
2. Paint for gas station. Any one will do - purchased at the store or independently tinted with the necessary selection of shades.
3. Large medical syringe without a needle: with the help of its paint will be pumped into a balloon. For more effective release of the safety valve, you can put on it a broken needle.
4. Bicycle nipple (can be cut out from a worn out camera).
5. Pump (machine or bicycle).
6. Pressure gauge.

Operating procedure:

1. Remove the cap and spray from the spray can.
2. Draw the dye solution into the syringe, insert it into the cylinder until it stops, depressing the safety valve.
3. Pour dye into a bottle container.
4. Repeat the filling procedure until the container is about 2/3 full.
5. If you used containers from under the deodorant, then you need to add 3-5 metal balls. For this purpose, balls from bicycle bearings that have fallen into disrepair are quite suitable.
6. The remainder of the container must be filled with air under pressure, otherwise the sprayer will not work. To do this, tightly insert the bicycle nipple, squeezing the safety balloon valve.
7. Connect the pump to the nipple and, pumping up, create pressure up to 3-5 atmospheres. If you make less, then a full spray will not work, if more - the balloon container may not withstand the load.
8. After inflating, remove the nipple, replace the cap with the spray gun.
9. Now the can should be shaken a little, mixing the dye solution, and check in operation. To this end, release a small portion of the dispersed mixture onto an unnecessary board or other surface.

Application

Thus filled with paint, you can:

• paint a decorative composition;
• evenly paint surfaces with a complex configuration;
• carry out cosmetic or complete repair of a car body;
• draw graffiti on the walls or airbrushing on a car;
• restore furniture and much more.

The self-charged dye, when creating the necessary pressure in the container, is evenly sprayed on the surface, providing material savings and quality finishes.

The balloon form of release is convenient during operation, provides material savings and long-term preservation of the quality of residues unused during repair and decorative works.
