Just a few questions about paint...
Whats better for painting, the cheap, or expensive stuff?
What kinds of caps should i use?
Where could i get different caps if needed?
Should i use different caps for different things?
I know you should use glossy paint, but exactly what kind?
Like, gloss paint (as in just colored gloss) or what?

I think paint is like art. Everyone likes something a little different. I can personally tell you that I like Rustoleum gloss. ...and I like the spray nozles. Remember, that is only my opinion. Yours may be different. I have noticed a huge difference in the "cheapie" paint -- it truly looks poor and requires more of it to cover things. I like Brandon's tip about buying two cans of the same color and painting the tops of each other can so you can work without the caps. Make sure whatever you do, you always follow any and all safety precautions. Good luck.

Ya, I have also noticed that about the cheaper paint that they don't spray as much as the more expensive. Im thinking of changing from color place to the rust-oleum stuff my walmart doesn't have yellow color place... (i only use b/w blue yellow green red) And about the spraying the cap thing, i already did that before i found this website, taking the caps on and off was so annoying...

Krylon makes some pretty vibrant colors, but be sure to remove the nub on the nozzle or it will only spray in lines.

Please expand on the krylon paint comment because I have a few cans of krylon and they do only spray in lines. I have basically been without blue and yellow because of the stupid things...

ok if you look at the tips there are to straight little ridges above and below the hole where the paint sprays out... take a razor (or exacto knife) and carefully shave those ridges so the tip is flat and it will spray out in a small circle like a normal tip !! give it a try.... works well however the krylon is wetter (runnier) so spray light... hope this helps noob
