First, choose a project. With these spray paint ideas, you’ll be able to completely transform something, AND it’s a lot easier than you think!

Some tips to keep in mind before starting any spray paint project:

  • You’ll want a smooth surface, so clean it thoroughly and you won’t see imperfections in the final product.
  • Apply the paint in multiple, light layers to keep drips at bay.
  • Allow your project to dry completely. Be patient to avoid fingerprints, scratches, or the need to do touchups later.
