Sometimes you need to invert the cans, and leave them atht way for a day or so, then right them, then invert again, then shake the dickens out of them to get them working. Wrinkle paint seems to be bad for plugging up especially since it's thick, I have one can of that I only got about 1/3 of the way through and it did that to me, regular paint seems to be easier to get going again.
Believe it or not you can re-pressurize an aerosol can as well, but it works better with one of those with the straw sticking out under the nozzle rather then the other kind. You get a Schrader valve stem, place it over the top, and blow air inside with a compressor, I have not seen this done with paint cans however.

Arran
