22 Minutes



I was going to write a big instructional tutorial about how to achieve a professional paint job using spray cans, but then I remembered that I have friends who paint for a living, and why would I want to put them out of work?

If you ARE going to do your own painting, here's a couple of tidbits:

1) Prep your surface.  Do it again.  Do it again.

2) Spray the paint in a straight line, about 18 inches from your surface.

3) Spray a LOT of coats thinly, every 22 minutes.

4) Start spraying before you get to your part and finish after you've passed it.  Only hit the part with the middle 50% of a spray line.

5) Don't listen to me, I'm not a pro.
