You may, but I suggest you to go through this video. This video has nicely shown how to use the aerosol spray paint effectively.

You need a penetrating liquid like WD40 or Pidilite Zorrick88.

Spray on the screws generously so that the liquid goes through the threads. Allow it to soak for about 1 hour. Then try removing it with a screw driver.

Regards,
Shashi

One important Question-Is there any danger if we smell the gas emitted by a paint spray?I forgot to put on the mask while painting.

remove the number plate, cover the body below the grill and spray one more coat [glasses]

once a while its not at all dangerous.. don't worry
Is that You in the pictures?? [surprise]

shrijit303 · Dec 26, 2015

Yes,paint spray is poisonous and toxic to liver,skin, lungs and blood cells.They contain volatile organic compounds eg acetone and acetaldehyde.You must have protective gear(at least a proper mask,and mind you doctors mask won't do !) while venturing on such DIY.

Today's Update
Sprayed the second coat on the front bumper and the grill.The sad part is that I could not spray the back bumper as the paint in the aerosol spray got finishedand my father is refusing to buy another one.For now,let it be as it is.Also put back the indicators and the bumper lights back in its place.Could not click pictures as it was already very dark.I"ll post clear snaps tommorow.
Adil-Sir,thanks a lot. The photo is very nostalgic. [:D]

Mayankdixit-Sir,I took the proper precautions today while painting. [:)]

I'm very much exposed to these aerosol sprays, maybe since at least 10 years and maybe 50 cans and no protection. End result I have aerosol allergies and my skin is now very sensitive and gets sunburn pretty easily. I cant use deodorants. Room fresheners make me uncomfortable. Handle with care.
