Spray paint nozzles become clogged by dried paint very easily. Trying to prevent clogging can be like fighting a losing battle. A better strategy is to unclog nozzles before you intend to spray paint.

One way to do this is by removing the nozzle from the spray can and placing it in a jar filled with nail polish remover, leave the nozzle to soak overnight and then rinse it out and reattach.
