First I am going to start by making a very simple spray paint style can with multiple nozzles and an outside pressure system. I want to see if an air-paint mixture throughout the entire system will work. Originally I was thinking I would make something similar to an airbrush however I think it is overkill since I really don't need that precision and control. So I am going to essentially try to recreate an aerosol can with a compressor, sturdy paint container, and multiple exit nozzles.

1. Pressurize paint mixture and spray through multiple nozzles. (current)

2. Iterate/modify to try and get consistent spray out of each nozzles. Options to vary:

-Main orifice diameter, nozzle diameter, paint viscosity, pressure->paint sequence, and more.
