Can metallic be put into a can?
Do you need to add anything to it before adding paint?

You only need a special container - an aerosol semi-product, gas and solvent have already been added + a cap with torch spray instead of the usual one

My metallic paint was drained from the spray can, I think it will fit ready-made?

It will work, only gas is needed for normal spraying

It’s clear, but you can’t use air))
