FAQs
What is the line width produced by the Montana Skinny Cap?
The Montana Skinny Aerosol Art Cap typically produces a line width of approximately 0.5cm to 1.5cm, depending on the distance from the surface and the pressure applied.
How often should I clean the cap?
It's recommended to clean the cap after each use by spraying clear air. For storage or if clogging occurs, a more thorough solvent cleaning is advised.
Can I use this cap on any spray paint can?
This cap is primarily designed for Montana spray paint cans (BLACK, GOLD). It may fit other brands with standard female valves, but compatibility is not guaranteed.
What is the difference between the Skinny Cap and other Montana caps?
The Skinny Cap offers the thinnest spray output for fine details. Other caps, like the Fat Cap, produce a much wider spray for coverage and quick filling.
Will this cap work with water-based spray paints?
While it is designed for solvent-based paints, it may work with certain water-based paints. However, cleaning protocols might need adjustment, and compatibility should be tested.
How do I store the cap after cleaning?
Ensure the cap is completely dry after cleaning before storing it. Store it in a dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
Troubleshooting
Cap won't spray
Ensure the cap is firmly attached to the valve. Check if the valve itself is clear; if not, try using a different cap briefly to clear it.
Uneven or splattered spray
The cap may be partially clogged. Clean it according to the care instructions. Ensure the spray can is adequately shaken.
Line width is too wide
This cap is designed for fine lines; if the line is still too wide, ensure you are holding the can at an appropriate distance and angle. Check for clogs.
Cap is difficult to attach
Ensure the valve stem is clean and free of debris. Do not force the cap; check for any obstructions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: To attach the Montana Skinny Aerosol Art Cap, firmly press it onto the spray can's valve stem. Ensure it is seated securely. Test the spray on a scrap surface before starting your project.
Compatibility: This cap is designed for use with Montana BLACK, Montana GOLD, and other spray paint cans featuring a standard valve system. Always check compatibility with your specific paint brand if not using Montana.
Care: After each use, it is crucial to clean the cap. Turn the can upside down and spray for a few seconds until only clear air comes out to clear any residual paint from the nozzle. For deeper cleaning, you can remove the cap and soak it in a compatible solvent (like alcohol or specialized cap cleaner), then rinse and dry thoroughly before reattaching.
