Summer vacation so I took a week off of posting... and worked on all my cars. And then I thought an icon of a spray can would be just right, so here it is. AS always it is simple to build and looks great when you are done. Enjoy!
Picture

Picture
Start with a rectangle. 8 pt stroke around the rectangle.
Picture
Select the rectangle and open the Stroke panel and set the Corner to a rounded corner.
Picture
Create a line above ad below the rectangle, round the ends.
Picture
To round the ends of the line, select the line then using the stroke Panel, add a rounded cap on the ends ( I call this hot-dogging).
Picture
Next, draw an oval.
Picture
Draw a rectangle over the oval so the top of the rectangle is in the middle of the oval.
Picture
Select both shapes, the use the Pathfinder panel and select the Minus Front Shape Mode to remove the lower half of the oval. 
Picture
This becomes the cap of the spray can.

Picture
Draw a small rectangle on top of the oval. 
Picture
Use the Direct Selection Tool to select the top corners, then round the corners using the corner widgets and pull them in slightly. 
Picture
Set the 2 lines, the oval and the spray head to a light gray. Fill and stroke the main part of the spray can any color you choose.
Picture
Move the shapes together so they touch. Change the spray head to a darker or lighter color to create contrast.

Picture
Add highlights to the can by drawing a line, stroke of white. Use the Arc tool to draw an arc for the dome of the can.
Picture
Cap the ends of the highlights by using the Stroke Panel and cap the elected ends.
Picture
Select the spray cap and choose Object>Expand the click OK to expand the fill and stroke. Use the Pathfinder panel to Unite all the new shapes into one shape.
Picture
Draw a circle and move it to one side of the spray head.

Picture
Select both the spray head and the circle, then use the Pathfinder Panel to Minus front.
Picture
Draw a circle outside the spray head and match the color to the body color of the can.
Picture
Using the selection tool, OPTION + CLICK and drag the circle to duplicate it. 
Picture
Use COMMAND + D to duplicate it several times. Select all the dots then choose Object>Group.

Picture
Select the group, then select the Rotate tool. OPTION + CLICK on the center of the left most dot. This will open up the rotate dialog box and set the point of rotation. Choose 10° then click COPY.
Repeat the process and rotate the first set -10° and click copy. 
Picture
This will give you 3 spray lines equally spaced. 
Picture
And here is the final spray can. Enjoy and pass it along.
