Default Spraying a prepared (de-rusted) steel chassis.

Hi.
Bit of an odd one this.
I decided, having stripped and de-rusted it, that I wanted to finish a larg(ish) steel chassis in a hammered brown.
Having primed it, I started spraying it with Rustoleum Hammered Brown aerosol spray paint. (Image of product attached.)
The first can worked fine but exhausted before I'd finished, so I sourced another.
Then the problems started.
Simply said, the trigger doesn't work properly.
You have to put your finger up almost to the nozzle for it to spray at all, then press very hard for it to spray.
The output is then variable and blotchy.
I've now sourced two cans from different suppliers with the same result.
It's most peculiar, anyone else had issues with this product?
