How many times have you started to spray paint something and then notice that the paint is bubbling, and/or dripping? So frustrating, right? It used to happen to me all the time. After trying out just about every brand, sheen, and color of spray paint, I have come up with a method that never fails me.
Today as I was spray painting a little table to put in my boys' room, I thought that I should really share my tricks to getting a flawless coat of spray paint every time.
If you follow these few simple tricks, you will find spray painting to be super easy with perfect results every time.
#1. Make sure your item is clean and dry.
#2. To avoid drips spray lots of light coats, absolutely no heavy coats.
#3. It is important that once you start, finish within an hour or wait at least 2 days and start with a base coat again.
#4. My number one and most important trick...always, always start your spray painting projects with a few coats of flat spray paint. Ever since I started using a flat spray paint as my base coat, I haven't had anymore bubbling. It seriously works miracles!
Here is my table before...
