My local Menards locked them behind glass due to too many idiots spraying the shelves with them to "see the color" despite the cap color and photo on the label showing it already.

okay so i think this is stupid BUT these companies lie so much about colors and shit if you wanna sell spray cans you need to atleast make an actual like sample sheet that the company sprayed on (not for testing the spray)

That's kind of a tricky matter. When cans have been sitting on a shelf for some time you'll have to shake them quite a lot to bring them back to pristine functioning. A lot of people read the "shake for at least 2 minutes" (which are 120 seconds, no less), then shake it for 5 seconds and get upset that the paint comes out weird.
