Order some of these and try them - https://artprimo.com/catalog/spray-paint-caps-c-27.html

They are superior to Rustoleum valves, by far. I use Rustoleum because the price is right and it's easy to get, plus the paint is fine. These valves make all the difference.

They have a lot of caps. What caps have you found to be good for rockets?

Thanks!

I have horrible luck with Rustoleum, I can rarely get more than half the contents out of a can before it fails. It is easy to clean the nozzles, I just put them in a small jar with some acetone. The actual valve in the can is also a problem, most of my cans won't spray even if you put new nozzles on them. I'm trying to find a way to put a little container on top of the can so I can fill it with acetone and clean out the valve itself.
I've started buying Ace Hardware store brand paint and it works a lot better. I don't think the paint itself is as good but the cans/valves/nozzles are much more reliable.
