Can you use regular spray paint with decorative stencils?

I want to use decorative stencils on my walls and don't own an air sprayer. Will I get a clean stencil design using regular spray paint cans?Can you use regular spray paint with decorative stencils?
You will probably get a clean stencil as long as you hold the can far enough that you can do ';misting'; coats. However, your stencil will build up with paint and bleeding will start at the edges as they become less sharp.





I don't think you'll be able to clean the stencil off as easily or if at all with the spray paint. See if you can rent a sprayer.Can you use regular spray paint with decorative stencils?
The tighter and flatter the stecil is held against the wall the less bleedng you will have.
Hi:





Yes, you can. But you must clean them very good after so many spray paintings or when your done with them or they stary have a build up of paint on the edge of the stencils.
