Spray Paint Project
A DIYer’s best friend: spray paint. New formulas come in almost any colour and finishes like chalk, metallic, glitter, matte, and more. Spray paint is suitable for dozens of surfaces including tile and glass. Paint your decor from ceiling to floor and transform your style in an afternoon!
Tips for Successful Spraying
1. Lay a drop cloth or cardboard to protect your flooring. When spraying outside, stay well away from any objects that could get splattered and cover items as necessary. Always spray in a well ventilated area.
2. Always follow manufacturer instructions on the can; not all formulas apply the same.
3. Clean your surface and repair or gently sand any blemishes.
4. Tape or cover sections you do not wish to spray.
5. Apply even coats of paint, spraying as directed from application instructions.
6. Add coats as needed and allow to dry completely before use.
Furniture
There’s no faster way to update furniture than with a coat of paint. Simply changing the colour of a headboard, chair, or coffee table can give furniture a new life. Cover scrapes and scuffs with a Touch-Up formula, and reduce furniture waste by refinishing what you have. Even a coat of varnish can save side tables and easily switch a gloss finish to matte.
Home Décor
Changing styles are no challenge for spray paint! Create more contrast, more colour, and better design cohesion with a quick coat of spray paint. From the smallest knick knack to picture frames and vases, you can jump on board any trend with a quick and easy transformation.
Outdoors
Protecting outdoor tools and furniture requires regular maintenance, make it as easy as possible with protective coats and sealants. Outdoor formulas are perfect for sheds, planters, play sets, and even barbecues. Rustic finishes like metallic or stone will blend in with natural elements and can be easily sealed with clear coats. Protect patio furniture against water and stains with quick dry sprays and minimal mess.
