Wasted paint due to clogging _ updated

I had used the Valspar Chalky spray paint and loved it - unfortunately it seems to have been discontinued so when I saw this product I was excited. I bought 12 cans in 3 colors to finish a few projects I had. I used the serenity blue on a cedar chest. The first can clogged halfway through the can and couldn't be unclogged. Additionally, the paint is very thin and even with light coats has a tendency to run. In order to cover fully it took 5 coats. On a positive note, the final color and product in very pretty. I have 2 colors and projects left and I am afraid that I will encounter the same issue with clogging (the other issues I can work around). Updated - contacted Rust-Oleum - They attributed the clogging to the need for more shaking before using and offered to replace or refund me for the wasted cans. Customer service rep. was very nice.
