Spray Paint Your Stuff

Do you use spray paint?

I must confess that I have not always used spray paint.

I guess I thought that using it was taking some sort of shortcut, and I am a do it right or not at all kind of gal. I was wrong. It was a lack of experience that caused me to doubt the joys of spray paint.

Discovering HOW to spray paint has really made a difference. Using a good metal primer is crucial (in my opinion) for flawless adhesion. I have painted a number of brass lamps, and primer has been key in getting a perfect top coat.

If you have something you love, but have become bored with it, why not give it a coat of paint? I find that I have no fear when it comes to painting something that I only paid three dollars for.

My favorite brand of spray paint is hands down, Krylon Indoor/Outdoor Paint. It does exactly what is says it will do.

"Dries in 10 minutes" It does!

"exceptionally smooth and durable paint" It is!

Spray paint is transformation in a can!

I hope you're inspired to try some spray paint!
