RusskyMan Posted June 26, 2019 Author Share Posted June 26, 2019 Yes it’s a spray paint that puts a plastic coating on ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted June 26, 2019 Share Posted June 26, 2019 Ok ... most spray paints need shaking to move the little ball bearing around inside to mix up the paint... you also need to warm the pain if you can ... in the sun is prob the easiest & the part to pain too .. the trick is sweeping motion... keep the can 6” away from the part you want to paint and move the can from left to right .. start 6” before the part and sweep 6” past the part .. when you get near the part that’s when you press the Nozzel and spray the paint .. then you let go past the part but continue the sweep .. every time you sweep you spray ... Once you have covered the part ... let it dry then spray again up till your happy .. hope this helps john 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its drying really well now so I will see how it ends up and make a decision as to cover again or start again once I see that. Its a first for me - always happy to try things out but also aware of people’s valuable experience who’ve been and done it before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
