    Spray paint

    • Spray paint has a very fine powder that normally travels beyond the area to be painted, so the surroundings must be well coated so that they do not stain.
    • For the same reason, it is advisable to wear a mask to avoid breathing toxic paint and gloves to avoid staining your hands.
    • Preferably, paint outdoors so that the paint particles do not remain in the environment.
    • Avoid painting if there is wind, since the paint can be carried, which will require more quantity and probably the painted surface will not be even.
    • Very high temperatures can create bubbles in paint as it dries.
    • Bear in mind that if you paint in the sun, drying will be much faster.
    • When you paint, try to always keep the same distance so that the paint is even and spray the spray from one side to the other of the surface to be painted, without concentrating on a single point, so that the paint does not accumulate in one place other than in other.
    • If a part is less painted it is preferable to give a second and even a third coat to the entire area.
