Over the weekend, I went a little insane spray painting glass vases and other products I had actually hidden. I confess, I'm a little bit of a paint-a-holic. Whatever in my house is reasonable video game - accept perhaps the canine. My fur-baby might be safe, however if you read my last post, body parts are NOT!
This isn't the very first time I have actually spray painted glass and ceramics. You have actually most likely seen a few of my other sprayed knick-knacks on my staged furnishings transformations. Simply a couple of examples are the Owl on the Annie Sloan White Desk, the Cranes in my Salvaged Restroom, and the Scottish Terrier on my 5 Ways To Paint Furnishings Without Sanding Desk.
This post consists of affiliate links to items utilized. You can see my complete disclosure here. I like discovering fascinating products at yard sales or thrift shops and changing them. Shopping my own house and breathing life into products that are otherwise gathering dust is even much better! It's a easy and quick transformation. And the outcomes are excellent - all for a portion of the expense for comparable knick-knacks at Pier 1 or HomeSense.
I have actually attempted numerous brand names of spray paint and today I'm sharing my favorite. The one I like the absolute best for GLASS is Krylon ColorMaster. It sprays a gorgeous surface, and sticks to glass or any glossy surface area without any problems.
Tips for Spray Painting Glass 1:: Utilize a spray auto paint gun cleaner solvent developed for glass. Krylon shows (on the label) that it deals with glass.
2:: Wash the glass and let it dry. 3:: Clean down the glass with rubbing alcohol (then let dry) prior to spray painting.
4:: According to guidelines, shake the can for 1-2 minutes prior to spray painting. 5:: Shoot the very first couple of sprays on a paper or cardboard simply to get the spittle/splotches out prior to spraying your piece.
6:: Hold the can around 12-16 ″ far from your glass product and spray in sweeping movements. 7:: Spray light even coats somewhat overlapping each spray for the finest outcomes.
8:: Security - Spray in a well-ventilated location and a temperature level regulated space. Here's a few of the sprayed pieces. I took close-up photos so you can see the surface. It's actually beautiful - a mix of French White Enamel, Antique Ironstone and Milk Glass!
So, if you have any glass or ceramic that's simply laying around, I hope this influences you. An economical $7 can of spray cleaning paint gun can change a variety of products. If you enjoy thrifting, this is likewise a fantastic reason to go out and hunt for some fascinating pieces to upgrade! However be alerted, changing old-dated knick-knacks that you got for an extremely low-cost cost can be addictive!
Do not hesitate to pin this task and if you have any concerns, ask away. So, what do you consider my 'brand-new' knick-knacks? Do you have a preferred brand name of spray paint or any ideas you wish to include? Chime in with your ideas, concerns or simply to state 'hi' since I constantly like hearing from you! Delighted spray painting my good friends!
