I get food handling gloves at Sams Club.They are very cheap and usually one size fits all. I have big hands but they work okay for me.When we go to a local restaurant chain, Cracker Barrel, I often get their pancakes, which come with little syrup bottles. They come home with me and after getting run through the dishwasher, they are clean and fresh. I used to scrape off the label but it is more trouble than it is worth.Many of the spray paints I use don't have a bottle paint version.So using a very inexpensive funnel from Dollar General I decant the spray paint into the syrup bottles while wearing the food service gloves.I use a couple pieces of scrap lumber to hold the bottle and put the very tiny funnel in the jar mouth.Then using the hand with the glove on it, I spray the paint into the funnel.I spray along the side of the funnel and allow the paint to flow into the jar. I don't spray in the center because the propellant has to vent someplace and it splashes if I spray it directly into the center of the funnel.
Here you can see it flowing along the inside of the bottle.

Wow! Clever!!
I've often found it challenging to find paint matching my spray box colors for minor corrections etc. It seems like this is the way to do it next time. Thanks for sharing this tip Mike!
You are welcome Roger. I make sure to use a bottle that is disposable, even a pickle jar would do. Usually I only decant a small amount at a time so it does not dry out.
