Paint with spray or spray paints

If you have decided to paint an object with spray paint, you must know how to apply it to obtain a better finish, and what are the safety measures for its use.

Spray paints or sprays are specially designed to perform the work with more practicality, and in certain cases to achieve a better finish, better than the use of a brush or brush for example. Currently, we can find enamels, varnishes, lacquers and almost any paint of different finishes in this form of application.

How to apply spray paint

This is something that in packaging always appears, but that most do not read. The painting should be done at a distance of about 30 centimeters from the piece, and with a slight inclination. The movement of the hand should describe a sway, to spread the paint evenly and thus avoid blasting.

For the color to look alive and true, whether, on metal or wood, the piece should be covered with a layer of paint or white background. This procedure is usually done in the application of any color paint.

In the case of pretending to achieve a perfect glossy finish without splashes or unpainted sectors, it will be appropriate to apply 2 or 3 coats of material. Although the paint dries quickly to the touch, I recommend waiting a couple of hours to apply the next hand.

Tips for greater security

The security must always be present. These custom spray paint cans are highly flammable, and exposure to fire or high temperatures should be avoided. The container cannot be punctured or tried to be refilled.

The paint is toxic, so the work should be done with safety elements: glasses, mask and gloves. And as much as possible in a ventilated environment, much better if done outside.

Many dismiss the use of aerosols for their possible damage to the environment, besides that in certain pieces a great amount of paint can be lost unnecessarily.
