Before you begin, you will need: Spray paint in the color s of your choice Primer Newspaper, drop cloth, or a plastic tarp to protect the ground and other items around the item you are painting. Prep your work area. Whenever you spray paint, you should always work outdoors in a well-ventilated area because the fumes from the paint can cause respiratory damage. Place your newspaper, drop cloth, or tarp down.
If you are working outside, you can use weights like rocks to keep your protective materials from blowing around in the wind. Be sure to spread your protective materials far enough out, otherwise your yard or driveway may have end up with a light misting of color from the paint.
Be sure the edges are sealed well to the surface to prevent paint from leaking underneath. Consider using sawhorses to suspend your item. If you are painting an object that will sit well on sawhorses, then you may want to use these to suspend the item in the air. Having the item up on sawhorses will also make it easier to reach areas that might be hard to reach if the item is on the ground.
Create a paint box for a small item. If you have a small item to spray paint, then you can also try putting it inside of a box that has been placed on its side. Then, you can spray the paint into the box to spray paint the item and this will reduce the chances that paint will end up on nearby surfaces.
You can also put items on a small piece of cardboard or a turntable inside of the box to make it easier to turn the item around as you paint. Clean the surface of your item.
Take a few minutes to wipe off any debris that might be clinging to the surface of the material you will be spray painting. Just make sure to dry the surface completely before you paint it. If there is any sticky residue on the surface of your item, such as the remnants of a price tag sticker, scrape off the residue and then use a household cleaner to remove the rest.
Part 2. Put on your protective gear. Before you begin painting, make sure to put on your respirator mask, safety glasses, and disposable gloves. The safety goggles will help to protect you in case any of the paint blows back towards your face, and because spray paint is toxic, disposable gloves and a ventilator mask are necessary.
