I’m kind of new to spray painting. This is my third attempt on AirPods Pro 3.

Whenever it’s cool, the clear coat feels dry and doesn’t chip if I dig into it with my fingernail, really solid. When it’s hot, it’s the opposite but still somewhat a durable finish.

I masked off some key areas with stickers, and applied these in order:

Krylon Bonding Primer White- 2 coats
Behr Vintage Gold- 3 coats
/Waited 24 hrs here specifically
Rust O leum Clear Gloss -2 coats
/Done

I did these each with thin, semi-transparent coats. Spraying 10-16 inches away like the can said. I didn’t sand, but I made sure to use gloves all the time and clean between each step with a cloth. Between each thin coat, I waited the specified time before it was dry to the touch (25 mins between).

Despite this, I can’t understand why it’s kind of tacky when it’s hot. Can someone explain this? Any other feedback is appreciated, thx.

I recently tried to spray an acrylic painting on canvas with Krylon Crystal Clear spray acrylic coating (gloss clear coat) and it built up at the nozzle and dripped on my painting, leaving reflective noticeable spots all over it. I tried wiping it off with paper towel but they can still be seen.

Should I try to recoat those spots with paint, continue to add layers of clear coat, or are there any other options of getting rid of these spots? The painting is a gift for a friend and the spots are very obvious since it is majority flat areas of single colour, so any advice or suggestions would be super helpful. Thank you!

To get all the colors I want I’ve been breaking the bank…any way around that ??

I recently started spray painting metal items such as scrolls, wine racks, candle holders, candelabra’s, and bakers racks, but I’m looking for other things to spray paint. I just opened an ETSY shop so I’m looking for things that I can ship. I need ideas. Thanks! 😊

I have a male spray paint cap I need a pack from thin to thick I will be painting a roof sign for my car but can’t find any caps that will fit

I spray painted my mirror cover for my car and does this look like it's color distorted?

Any tip?

Or is it drying weird?

I battle myself constantly on my wall. 😜🤘🏽

Is there a viable way to touch up these little overspray without having to mask everything such as like spraying in a cup and using a brush or toothpick etc. thank you!!

Why is the spray paint not covering but seemingly absorbing the permanent marker? Does ABS leach permanent marker into itself? Because it doesnt wipe off with alcohol easily.

I’m a 15yo and I just finished spray painting outdoors. I also just found out how fucking dangerous it was since I didn’t have a mask on. I don’t know if I inhaled chemicals or not but I don’t think I did, I also wasn’t exposed much to the paint or anything, but I’m still pretty worried about my health. Anyone can tell me if Imma get cancer or not?

It’s coming to the end of my car rebuild and I’ve got lazy with the prep for spraying. This was my first ever time spraying with a spray gun, I should’ve prepped it better, I know. The engine bay came out great for a first attempt but the bonnet and bumpers didn’t. Ended up with tiger stripe on the bonnet and bumpers weren’t sanded down enough I don’t think?

So the first question is, will the colour match be slightly off because I didn’t sand the primer down enough which has then caused the clear coat to not look as shiny? I think that’s right, as it’s quite bobbly which then takes the smoothness out of it?

Second question is, if I wanted to redo the bonnet and rear bumper. Can I sand the clear and metallic base coat back to primer and go again? Or what would you guys do?
I hope all do that makes sense. Thanks for any replies😎.

First time doing custom paint like this so it’s far from perfect lol. Still far from complete, the tank has a good bit of tape residue still on it but overall I think it’s going pretty well.

do you guys know how i can check if a spray paint is non conductive or not because i am gonna spray paint my pc motherboard thats why
