7 Spray Paint Techniques for a Smooth Finish



Spray painting is so fun that everyone wants to try it at least once in their lives. Getting to spray paint brings out the child inside us. But there are a number of reasons, other than fun, why you should choose to spray paint for your projects.

Colors
Spray paints are available in every color including orange, blue, green, white, and black paint. You can find both dark and light shades of color easily. Glossy shades are also available that can be used for special paintings. Take extra care of the glossy side when working on a project.

Surfaces
There are also different kinds of paints that you can use for anything from creating street art to painting a canvas. You can use aerosol cans to paint any surface and textures. They work perfectly on wood, glass, plastic, fabric, paper, canvas, cardboard, ceramic, masonry, and concrete. There are different shades of spray paint that can be used on walls for covering old art.



How to Prepare for Creating Spray Paint Art?
Although it can be fun to paint with a can, you can’t get a good finish if you are not familiar with the basics. Creating art, whether it is on paper or on a wall, is not easy. But if you learn the basics, you can slowly reach the level of spray paint artists.

Dry and Clean
You can’t paint a wet and dirty surface and get a good finish. The spray won’t stick properly to such surfaces, which is why it is important to clean and dry them before starting with the process.

Cover every Corner
Dismantle the product, if possible, to cover every corner with paint. This helps prevents problems with dry paint and allows you to reach tight places as well.

Use Stencils
You can use stencils to create designs, like planets, if you want to recreate graffiti art. Stencils make it easier to paint inside lines, shapes, or corners.

Get Creative Ideas
You can also look up murals to get an idea of how to spray paint artworks. Murals and graffiti are easy to spot in large cities. But if you can’t find them in your city, you can look them up online.

7 Spray Paint Techniques for a Smooth Finish
If you don’t get a smooth finish, the spray paint won’t look good, whether it’s on paper or a table. By following these seven techniques, you can achieve the desired look within a short span of time.

1. Don’t Paint in the Sun
Every spray paint can come with a few instructions that people often ignore. Most of the time, one of these instructions is about not painting directly under the direct sun.

Tiny Bumps
When you start painting in direct sun, the paint dries before reaching the surface and turns into bumps. It’s why you should create your spray paint.

You can check the Spray Paint Art Secrets Review because it is one of the most popular courses designed for people who want to learn spray painting through a simple website. It’s a basic hands-on course that you can start learning from the comforts of your home and just need to put into practice!

2. Don’t Paint Vertically
One of the biggest problem people face with spray paints is the drip and painting vertically is the cause behind it. You can lay a table horizontally or pick horizontal surfaces to paint in order to avoid this problem.

3. Use the Right Materials
Just because a product looks expensive does not mean it will be good. The texture of the canvas and the paint both matter. However, products like Rust Oleum Painter’s Touch are a good option.

Get a Medium
You can ask in spray paint forums about the materials to find out which company sells the best aerosol cans. You might need a medium, paint thinner, white paint, and black paint.

Ask for Help
The art store employees can also help you find the right supplies in case it is your first time. They will guide you on the brushes, paints and mediums to begin with.

Extra Paint
Get more paint than you need. For instance, if you think you need one can of blue, get two, if you need two cans of green, get three. Even if you don’t overspray, you will need more cans. So, be prepared in advance.

4. Don’t Forget to Shake the Cans
If you want to get even color, don’t forget to shake the can. Each spray paint ad shows how important it is to shake the can. You can’t get creative with colors like orange, blue, and green if you don’t follow this basic rule.

5. Use Handle for Spray Paints
If you use a handle, not only will you be able to avoid fatigue, you will also have better control over the spray. The handle can also help you follow creative designs and get a smooth finish.

6. Apply Light Coats
If you use thick coats, you won’t get the smooth texture of your art that you want. Your project can get messy if you overdo the paint, which is why it is important to apply light coats.

7. Learn from Spray Paint Artists
Street artists made spray paint art popular. Whether you are new to spray paint art or an experienced artist, you can learn a lot from street artists.

Graffiti and street art should be your best friend if you want to learn to spray paint art. You can search for the art created by street artists on the internet to get inspired.



A Few Extra Tips
While creating spray paint art, don’t forget to protect yourself from lead and other harmful chemicals. You can wear covers, a mask, and gloves before you decide to have fun with drawing and painting.

Use a newspaper to cover the space you don’t want to paint. If you are painting on buildings, you can use plastic sheets instead of newspaper to keep a site safe from paint.

Don’t be scared to follow a unique spray paint art idea. You can create planets, flowers, and landscapes with the right tools. The possibilities are endless with spray paint art. Hopefully, these tips and techniques will help you get the smooth finish you want. Happy painting!
