Does anybody no why? Because they are rattle canners and don't know any better? (I'm not sure if this was a riddle. If it is, I hope I have the punch line right.  )

I don't think about it when I grab a rattle can.

I also use it for inner fenders and running boards, and radiators. Rust-Oleum Glossy black. Flows like butter and is easily touched up later.
