The invention relates to a method for testing a mutual combability of coating material and propellant and preparing a water based aerosol paint composition having a high concentration of coating material said method comprising: selecting at least one pair of polymeric resin and propellant, further selecting said selected propellant-polymeric resin-pair so that the propellant and the polymeric resin will pass the mutual combability test in a pressurized vessel in the presence of water-based solvent, providing into an aerosol can A) 50-85% w/w of coating material, and B) selected propellant 15-50% w/w; and sealing the can after or before adding ingredients in method stages A and B.
