I have a trigger/spray bottle on hand with turps in it for all kinds of tasks and what I do is turn the nozzle to "jet" and hold the spray can nozzle inlet hard up against the spray bottle and pump until a clear jet of turps comes out. Usually just one or two squirts are needed.

If i get a blocked can, more than just the nozzle, sometimes remove the nozzle and inverting the can into solvent (ive used thinners) will clear it. Press the tube into the bottom of the container.
(ps, don't use the can lid - they are vented...)

Another way to clean up just used nozzles is to just blow them clear with compressed air.

Where do you by your paint from? What brand and how much is it? Iron lac. Is a brand that at least did do it. There was two nozzles in the lid one on the can. Iron Lak is also Cheaper more pigment and lots of better colours to.
Last couple of weeks I've used dye mark spray paint at work. The nozzles kept blocking up the paint seems thin and not heavily pigmented. Yellow is terrible. Brands like flame , day colours. Loop.are heaps better half the price. For a little more Belton is the best.

I just blow them out with air then chuck them in one of those sealed lid coffee jars with some turps works a treat
