The aerosol will heat up, raising the pressure in the can so when you spray you get better atomization. Ie a finer finish to the paint. Not a huge deal on the body (tho helps) but does help with the tint a lot. A cold can will leave bigger droplets of paint, and since you see thru the tint, the graininess is noticible. A hot can and good technique will leave a smooth, consistant finish.

Ironically I just learned the spray can in hot water technique on Friday when I got my newest X-treme RC magazine and just started to paint the body. I was amazed at the difference it made.
