I'm sure it isn't possible to make a consumable product even more irritating to use if a team of engineered actively tried to do so. Even a new can is 50/50 odds of it acting like shit.

Some cans let you clean them out by turning them upside down and spraying until it sprays clear.

But you gotta do it at first use not later.

After you finish your painting, turn the can upside down and press the nozzle until it blows clear. This will help prevent clogging in the pickup tube. I usually store my half used cans upside down in a plastic box in my basement.
