Default walmart paint shaker

Hey just wondering if i can use walmart's paint shaker to shake up a gallon of automotive primer then a gallon of paint. Not sure if it's a different setup than the auto paint suppliers. Thanks.

yes it will work just fine. the only thing to take in to consideration is if it is a rotating shaker, leave it on there for a little longer.

I work there and it will work! Dont use the rotating one, lids come loose and you spent too much on it to splatter it. The other one clamps it in place.
