These are about $5.50 each at Home Depot. I would like a new can. That is the cost of a Big Mac.Sounds like you either return it or try it on scrap and then return it. . .maybe their ball didn't drop at the factory.

(Or maybe not, after inflation.)
Doh! Thanks for the idea!!Try leaving the can upsidedown for a while .
soaked this puppy in hot water three times now
Also good idea! Thanks!On sunny days, I put the can in the sun for a while to warm it up. Free energy, less trouble and it doesn't take too long.
Rust-oleum product support informed me that a couple of their products do NOT have shaker balls (marbles). There one I called about is 224284 a clear acrylic rust inhibitor for spraying told for example. They mentioned there are others.Ok, this is frustrating. I have a brand new can of white, primer spray paint. I have warmed it up in hot tap water for 15 minutes.
I cannot get the ball to rattle to save my life.
Any suggestions?

Any spray paint can with pigment has to have a ball, right?

I bought it a long time ago. Yes! Lesson learned!Did it rattle when you bought it? If you're not sure, sometimes the machine misses dropping a marble in the can.
I bet you'll check all the cans at the store from now on.
I instinctually do this every time I have a rattle can in my hands!
+1 for a reciprocating saw shaker. Works really well - even on very old paint cans - really gets the old balls rattling!
