It's important to use proper ventilation when spray painting. Working outdoors is the best option.
Spray paint won’t stick well if the humidity or temperature is not maintained. It's best to spray paint in warm weather with humidity below 65%.
Cover the area you will be painting and its surrounding with newspapers or cardboard.
Make sure to use protective gear such as goggles, gloves, and masks before you start painting to block the spray paint fumes.
Store spray paint according to the directions on the container. This means not leaving them in a cold basement as they may freeze or overheat.
Clean-remove any dust, dirt or grease. Primer-if needed, prime your piece. Paint-shake the spray paint can for about 3-4 minutes Drying-let the paint dry completely.
Apply thin coats Start and end the spraying outside Use an even motion moving side to side Hold the spray can about 8 – 10 inches from the object
Avoid buildup by not holding the spray in one place for too long Longer strokes are better than stopping every few inches. Wipe the nozzle if there is paint buildup.
