Great colors, however tips gum-up after a single use. You get what you pay for…
- Shake for at least 1 minute after marble is heard and periodically during use.
- Between markings and when finished, invert can and spray for 2 seconds to clear valve.

When this stuff works, it’s awesome and the colors are super bright.
However, the last time I bought it I had the sprayers get clogged up and unusable within the first 15 minutes. I’ve since been repeatedly fussed at by a 2-year-old for “painting on the walls,” because when we tried to unclog/switch nozzles we ended up with unending spray paint over everything — and wow, does it stick around! There are still several full (minus some spray over the walls/clothes/hands/gates/goats) cans in the barn that I haven’t gotten rid of just because I think, “some day, I’ll have time to fix this right and not waste the paint.”
After all that frustration, it’ll be Sprayline for us from now on, because it pretty much always works perfectly.

The caps were near impossible to get on and when we finally did the nozzle broke making it totally useless. Poor design!

I really like this marking paint for matching lambs to ewes out of the lambing jug. Numbers have not faded like other brands, and are still very visible two weeks out.
