Before Painting Prepare The Surface... Clean the area of dirt, oil, and grease. Follow directions on cleaning solutions. Sand or degloss shiny surfaces to enhance paint adhesion. Follow directions on deglossers for best results. Scrape chalky and flaking paint with sandpaper, wire brushes, or scrappers.

Repair cracks and fill nail holes with patching compound. Let dry, then sand smooth. Use some old rags for protection over rugs, shrubbery, furniture, etc. For walls and ceilings remove all switch, outlet plates and light fixture collars, pictures, mirrors,drapes, and all other hardware. If mildew is present, use a special mildewcide treatment.

For unpainted surfaces apply a first coat of primer/sealer according to can label directions. We advise you when possible to take the object outside of your home when possible and cover the ground around it with newspapers or plastic foil. Small particles of paint always fall on the ground when painting.
 

If you do not use spray cans on a regular basis we advise you to test the paint itself on some carton boxes or other object of less value. This will help you to get the feeling on how to control the spray can. Try painting closer and further (25-40 cm) from the object you will see how this will effect the result. Try dividing the paint equally by making controlled smooth moves with your hand. Paint up and down the object first and then from left to right.
 

1. Shake the spray can well before use, this will make the paint come out more equally.

2. Keep the object you wish to paint at 25 cm distance from the spray can and paint the object. Keep the spray can in a vertical position and make draws from up to down and from left to right.

3. After use some paint always remains in the nozzle. Turn the spray can upside down so only gas will come out of the can. This will clean the nozzle.
