...Hi, It's my first time to your blog! Love it!<br />Something that I always do before spray painting anything metal is to clean it super good with vinegar, then rub it down with steel wool & then do another final rinse with hot water. Make sure it is completely dry before painting.<br />Sometimes there is airborn grease, hand oils, lotion & etc on the metal that you can't actually see but it makes a difference on how the paint adheres.<br />Thanks for sharing! Have Fun!Lyndahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08962754046209132211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1284925404991319330.post-57862214736474914132011-03-29T15:04:10.009-05:002011-03-29T15:04:10.009-05:00Love the peekaboo blue piece.

Love the spray. <br />I really like that little white/green table, so fresh for spring.<br />I agree with Suzanne, I had that happen once and I think it may have something to do with the temp. <br />I know. Why don’t you email the company and ask them, and then you can let us all know!

I can't help you on your paint problem, I just painted two brass lamps ORB and I love how they came out--they don't look very "coastal" though ;).

Love all the colors you've chosen, spray paint can do wonders on sad looking pieces.<br /><br />Well, I've been spray painting like crazy also, but my problem hasn't been the wind. I'm working on my driftshell frames and I have to get a bunch painted before the humidity hits here in Florida.<br /><br />I bought Krylon's Periwinkle Blue with a Satin finish and Totally Tangerine in a Glossy finish. They both did the same thing as yours — left a slightly textured finish. I'm going to do a light sanding and apply another coat today and see what happens. Both cans say "exceptionally smooth" so we'l see what happens.Shellbellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14836629045327379085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1284925404991319330.post-91272863612390143942011-03-26T05:56:00.024-05:002011-03-26T05:56:00.024-05:00Spray paint is the only way I usually paint.
