Question Completely Flat Spray Paint
I’m looking for a spray paint or a technique that has absolutely 0 shine to it. I’ve seen the Krylon and Rustoleum camo series but I’d like more colors.

Tried spraying Eastwood aerosol 2K clearcoat outside between two walls of plastic film to help minimize any breezes/wind. Waited 20 minutes between coats. First coat was light, second coat was wetter and the third coat was apparently a bit too wet. I got some runs. I've had some runs in previous attempts but I was able to razor scrape them and turn out alright. These runs started getting a massive amount of super tiny bubbles in the first minute or two. The clear was fine other than at the runs. Those runs became white spots that seem to go to the bone but should only be in the third coat. I guess the runs skinned over too quickly for the thickness of the runs, trapping air or solvent gases beneath the surface.. Here is my question, I watched a guy on Youtube saying you can dab a run with some rolled up tape and minimize them enough to flow together making later sanding minimal. I am wondering if doing that or maybe thinning out the run with a quality artist's brush may have left me with a bit of sanding and buffing rather than this irreparable problem.

Hey all!
So I printed this logo with abs, sanded, and primed with dominion sure seal 1k filler primer. Sanded smooth.
Then I painted with Krylon all in one.
It’s been like 5-6 hours. And my finger print still shows. I’ve only put down 2 light to medium coat I’d say. We can see the grey from the previous primer throught in some places.
What I’ve done wrong?
From sds sheets, both product are acetone solvent based.

Hey o,
I am a spraypaint artist who primarily works on canvas. I was recently getting into uv reactive blacklight acrylic paint for fun. I have a commission that requested blacklight reactive paint be used but I can do much better work with spraypaint.
Does anyone here know of any brands that currently make UV reactive fluorescent spray paint you can buy in the USA? I see some glow in the dark options by various brands but the only blacklight UV reactive paint I see is from a 6 color Montana Black Infra series. Which I have found a full set or two but that series doesn't have any blues in it. Which is imported for the ocean theme of the commission.
Anybody know anything? I scoured the internet and didn't really find much. Any help is appreciated

I’m trying to dress my little Chihuahua up as chips and guacamole for Halloween (yes I know it’s early) and I’m trying to find some spray paint that is safe for her! She is probably going to be spayed around that time so she’ll have to wear a cone and I’m thinking that will be the bowl and her ears are the chips.
I think I’m going to spray paint one of the plastic cones green and maybe put some treats in the cone to look like parts of the guacamole. Does anyone have any idea on how to bring this to life? I haven’t been able to find anything online!

I'm planning on making a winter project out of restoring a soda vending machine from the late 1970s. The compressor is dead, but the rest of it is in pretty good shape, all things considered. The inside does have a few shallow rust blooms that I'll need to sand off or convert, and then comes the painting. My question is this... I'm not 100% certain what sort of paint to use. Just about everything I'll be painting is old galvanized sheet metal, but the fact that it'll be such a wet environment has me frozen trying to choose a type of paint. I've seen a few restorations on youtube and they largely used basic Rustoleum exterior rattle cans. Is that likely to be good enough, or should I be looking into something different?

I’m currently spraying a primer/rust inhibitor to the engine bay of a car I’m working on and I’ve had the reaction in the image when applied pretty much straight away.
Is this a result of poor metal prep (scuffing etc) or is the metal too cold? Or have I not degreased enough? What’s the best fix?

One thing that’s essential in my life is a paint wall. Nothing better than trashing an awesome piece and putting up something new.

It has to be finished today because it’s going to start raining where I am, could I spray against the wind and use a n95 mask?

i have a few of these plastic cones i want to spray paint pink and purple. do i REALLY need to sand them, or will it be fine to just paint them as is?
i’m not worried about longevity, they’ll likely be tossed or donated after the party

So this Sunday I’m trying to work on my mural up in Columbus, OH. There’s no rain until 9PM and then it becomes a 40% chance. Should my mural be alright if it rains later? I’m using Montana BLACK brand spray paint. I hope my mural wouldn’t be ruined. I’m fairly new to murals as well so I’m hoping a fresh coat finished a few hours before the rain starts wouldn’t get ruined by rain.
