Why Choosing the Right Spray Paint Matters
Not all paints are created equal. Using the wrong paint for the wrong surface often leads to issues like:
- Peeling or cracking
- Poor adhesion
- Uneven or blotchy finish
- Fading over time
Surface-specific spray paints, like those from Just Spray, are formulated to bond with particular materials, ensuring durability and a clean look.
Spray Paint for Plastic: What to Look For
Plastic is tricky—its smooth, non-porous surface resists regular paint. But the right formula makes all the difference.
Best Features to Look For:
- Adhesion Promoter or Primer: Helps paint stick to plastic without chipping.
- Flexible Formula: Allows the paint to move with the plastic.
- UV Resistance: Prevents fading, especially for outdoor items.
Popular Uses:
- Garden chairs
- Plastic buckets
- Toys
- Electrical casings
Recommended Product:
Try Just Spray Multipurpose Spray Paint for strong grip and smooth finish on plastic.
Spray Paint for Wood: Tips for a Smooth Finish
Wood is porous, so it absorbs paint easily. The challenge is getting a smooth, even coating without excessive soaking.
Key Features:
- Fast-drying enamel or acrylic base
- Primer-included paint (optional but convenient)
- Matte, gloss, or satin finish options
Surface Prep:
- Sand the surface to remove rough edges
- Clean with a damp cloth to remove dust
Best Use Cases:
- Furniture
- Wooden décor items
- Wall shelves
- Picture frames
Pro Tip:
Use a scratch remover pen on minor blemishes before painting for a perfect finish. These pens are available in the Just Spray Scratch Remover category.
Spray Paint for Glass: Do’s and Don’ts
Glass surfaces are smooth and reflective, making adhesion tricky but results stunning.
What You Need:
- Etching primer for glass
- Frosted or metallic finish spray paints
- Thin layers to avoid drips
Where to Use:
- Mason Jars
- Vases
- Mirrors
- Glass Tabletops
Safety Tip:
Always work in a well-ventilated area when painting glass to avoid fume build-up.
Just Spray Suggestion:
Use clear lacquer spray after color coating for added protection.
