28.95 -> it's best to be prepared and
have a few key items available.
32.01 -> In addition to a spray paint color of your
choice, you'll also want to have a drop cloth,

45.03 -> But if the item you're painting is metal,
47.19 -> you'll want to begin by removing any rust or
loose paint with a wire brush or sandpaper.
51.48 -> Then clean the surfaces with soap and water
54.24 -> rinse with fresh water and allow
the surface to thoroughly dry.
57.96 -> Wipe down the surface with a lint-free
cloth to remove any remaining dust or dirt.
62.91 -> It's always a good idea to protect your
surroundings with a drop cloth and,
67.38 -> using painter's tape, mask off areas
that will not need spray paint.
71.28 -> Always spray paint in a well-ventilated
area such as your backyard or garage.
76.62 -> Keep in mind that weather conditions such as
humidity and temperature can affect drying times
81.87 -> so always read the application
instructions thoroughly.
84.63 -> For a smoother, longer-lasting finish,
87.96 -> consider treating your surface with a
Rust-Oleum primer prior to top coating.
91.92 -> Be sure the primer is fully
dry before top coating.
95.22 -> Before you start spraying, it's
important to shake the can until
99.48 -> you hear the mixing ball rattle,
then shake the can for one minute.
103.17 -> Here's a tip: It's recommended that you
shake the can often during your project.
107.7 -> Shaking the can often will prevent clogging.
110.31 -> To avoid runs and drips,
hold the can approximately
114.18 -> 10 to 12 inches from the surface you're painting.
116.4 -> Use a steady, even, back-and-forth motion
and slightly overlap the previous pass.
122.34 -> Keep the can in motion while spraying
125.1 -> so paint doesn't build up in
one area, causing it to run.
128.16 -> A good rule of thumb is to begin and end spraying
131.61 -> beyond the edge of the surface you're painting.
133.65 -> By doing this, you'll help
eliminate any start and stop marks.
137.34 -> It's always better to apply several
lighter coats than one heavy coat.
141.39 -> Between coats, be sure to allow the paint to dry
144.57 -> according to the instructions found on the label.
146.82 -> Recoating too soon will
result in a wrinkling effect.
149.88 -> Typically, dry times vary
between 20 minutes and two hours.
154.32 -> Always check the product label for
detailed dry time instructions.
158.28 -> Tip: If wrinkling does occur
161.28 -> once the paint has fully dried
you can sand the surface smooth.
164.43 -> After you have sanded, allow the
full recoat time before recoating
168.39 -> as indicated by the recoat
times on the product label.
170.85 -> If you notice a run or drip
173.22 -> wipe off the excess paint with
an absorbent cloth right away.
176.4 -> To help avoid possible clogs,
178.56 -> wipe off any excess paint from the spray
nozzle before spraying the surface again.
