I love the look of hand painting. As the painter, I feel that I have more control. However, when the item being painted has lots of curves or nooks and crannies, sometimes spray paint is the way to go. I spray painted the furniture below with Rustoleum primer and then spray paint.

Tips for Quality Spray Painting
- Use a good primer! I love Rustoleum. Don't overlook this step. Just do it, and it will save you time and a headache later
- Clean the nozzle by spraying upside down. I think this is common knowledge, but just thought I'd remind you.
- Spray evenly up and down or side to side--not both.
- Use at least 2 coats so no streakiness shows!
- To ensure a smooth surface, sand lightly with 220 grit sandpaper in between. Make sure the coat of paint has fully dried!
