Hi TMF,

I've been given a few cans of this Hycote white primer. However, they have these tops on them. No caps I have fits it. Anyone know what I could use/get a cap for it?



Thanks,
Will

If you were given it and it has no cap I probably wouldn't bother with it, primer is the most important part.

 

Although I'm sure they're made by the same people as Halfords paint, maybe their tips will fit.

Maybe I'm being silly, but shouldn't it come with a nozzle/cap/sprayer thingy fitted?

That's not a silly question at all.  The paint would have come with a nozzle.  However, if you don't clear the nozzles when you are through with a job it is common for them to plug.  It is not uncommon to remove a working nozzle from a fresh can of spray paint and use them on a can with a plugged nozzle.  The problem then is that you are "short" nozzles for otherwise good cans of paint.  I admit to being guilty of this and I know I have at least 3 cans of spray paint without nozzles because they have been "loaned" to cans whose nozzle I let plug.
