Frozen Spray Paint Cans?

I bought some Spray Paint cans for a project due in about a month but the my mom placed the cans in the garage and they froze! Is there anyway to thaw them out or unfreeze them?Frozen Spray Paint Cans?
Yes you can thaw them out just by placing them inside the house in a closet or cupboard. However, the paint is ruined, and therefore no good. Sorry.Frozen Spray Paint Cans?
You can try to thaw them out and shake them like crazy for several minutes after they thaw to try to mix the paint.





More than likely they will be no good. But since they are in an aerosol spray and therefore under pressure they might still be usable. I would make sure to test them before using them. If they clog up right away then they are no good.
mix it well after putting it in room temperature or


frozen paint is no good.





But the nozzle may be clogged


in this case


poke a needle though hole to clean it out





remove the spray button and do the same on the straw





CAUTION (wear eye protection and do this where you don't want paint to spray)


in a back yard or under a plastic bag or both
Personally I would not try to un thaw the paint it will be a waste of time because the paint now is bad. The paint job will not look good if you use it unless you really are not after the looks then it may be ok to use. Just simply bring them in your house and let them warm up to normal indoor conditions. Dont I repeat dont add any extra heat to the bottles doing so will result in them exploding.
