Offering a wide selection of colors and finishes at budget-friendly prices, Project Source has become a go-to brand for savvy DIYers.

In this comprehensive guide, we’ll give you the inside scoop on everything you need to know to shop smart and use Project Source spray paint like a pro.

Choosing the Right Project Source Spray Paint for Your Project

Project Source spray paint is available in a variety of sheens and formulas designed for different applications.

For indoor projects, standard enamel spray paint works great on wood, metal, wicker, and plastic. It dries to a smooth, durable finish and resists chipping, fading, and yellowing.

Outdoors, choose a weather-resistant enamel formula that stands up to sun, rain, and temperature extremes. Rust-preventative paint is ideal for metal furniture, railings, and fixtures.

Specialty finishes like chalk paint, textured paint, and metallic paint open up cool design possibilities for creating unique, vintage, or rustic looks.

Project Source spray paint adheres well to surfaces including wood, metal, plastic, wicker, concrete, plaster, ceramic, glass, and more. Proper prep is key to helping paint grip and last. We’ll cover surface prep shortly.

Pro Tips for Applying Project Source Spray Paint

While the spray nozzle does most of the work for you, good technique is still important for avoiding drips, uneven coverage, or spray texture. Here are some tips:

• Shake the can vigorously for 1-2 minutes before spraying to fully mix the paint. Periodically shake it while spraying to maintain consistency.
• Hold the can 6 to 8 inches from the surface and spray in smooth, even strokes, slightly overlapping each pass.
• Spray light coats a few minutes apart to build up coverage evenly. 2-3 coats are recommended. Applying too much wet paint at once can cause drips or pooling.
• Mist problem areas like crevices and corners by spraying while moving the can across rather than directly at them.
• Move the can at a constant speed for uniform coverage.
• For best results, paint in temperatures between 50°F and 90°F and avoid high humidity or wind.

Curing and Dry Times

Project Source spray paint cures to a hard, durable finish within 24 hours. At 77°F and 50% humidity, paint becomes dry to the touch in 10-30 minutes. You can recoast within 1 hour.

Full cure times vary by formula. Enamel finishes fully cure in 5-7 days. Specialty paints like chalk or textured paint may take up to 30 days to fully cure, so take extra care during this period.

Safety Tips

• Always read label directions carefully and paint in a well-ventilated area.
• Wear a respirator mask or painters mask to avoid inhaling spray mist.
• Spray paint contains volatile organic compounds (VOCs), so keep pets and kids away from the area until paint is fully cured and fumes dissipate.

With the right prep work and painting technique, Project Source spray paint is an easy and affordable way to revitalize tired furnishings or drab decor. Just shake, spray, and enjoy your budget-friendly paint upgrade!
