The paint naturally binds with the material without the need for priming. With this paint, you can cover as much as ten square feet, and it’s a perfect choice for outdoor furniture and plastic fences. If you’re looking to add some bling to a plastic item, such as decor, furniture, crafts, or accessories, the shiny, true-metal-appearance of Krylon Premium Metallic Spray Paint is for you. This high-performance paint comes in several colors, including chrome, pewter, gold, copper, rose gold, and silver, all with a smooth, glossy sheen that closely resembles the actual metal. It's a great way to add some shine to holiday ornaments, thrift-store finds, or tired-but-still-usable furnishings. Painting a plastic surface can go horribly wrong if the right paint is not used. This is because most plastics contain chemicals that prevent regular paint from adhering to it. To avoid disappointment when attempting a DIY project involving painting plastic, as well as painter’s mask, painter’s tape, overalls, and a protective plastic sheet, you’ll need paint that is suitable for plastic surfaces. A spray can is arguably easier to use when painting plastic, especially if you’re a beginner. All you really have to do is:

With each coat or application, leave the substrate to dry before adding another coat until your design is complete. Most spray paints formulated for plastic leave a gloss or a semi-gloss finish, but specialty finishes are available too. Metallic, hammered, textured, and camouflage finishes give new interest to old plastic items. Consider a specialty finish if you want to upcycle old plastic pieces to look like metal, stone, or other materials.

Wiping helps remove surface dirt or any sealants that may compromise the adhesion of your paint. After wiping, wash the object with clean water and allow it to dry. Step 2: Lightly Sand to Boost Adhesion Low-quality paints contain more solvents and fewer pigments and resins. The dried finish from low-quality paints is not as tough, and coverage is not as smooth and long-lasting. Resistance to Moisture and Water Refer to the instructions on the can for proper paint application process. Always hold the can about eight inches from the plastic model and apply thin coats in even strokes. If you’re planning to paint furniture items subject to heavy use, 3-4 light coats will be enough.

Starting your spray painting task on a clean surface is always great. For plastic items, you can wash with soapy water and a sponge, or if it’s not too dirty, use mineral spirits or rubbing alcohol and a clean rag to wipe the plastic model you want to paint. Get a trigger handle: Finger strain is common with spray paint. But you can enjoy a comfortable spray painting experience with an effective trigger handle costing no more than five dollars. One shopper advised to “follow directions, and as always have your prep work done and it does exactly what it’s supposed to.” They also added that “for the price, I’d say it’s extremely high quality.”
