A pair of old tennis rackets
A metal ball rack
A drop cloth or newspaper
100 grit sandpaper
Painters Tape

Set up a spray paint area by covering your work space with a drop cloth. Make sure that the space is well-ventilated. Before beginning your project, read the Krylon® label for safety and application instructions, and follow them accordingly.

Sand the rackets down, to remove any chipping paint or imperfections. This also scores their surfaces, which helps the paint adhere better. If there are any parts of the rackets that you don’t want to spray, cover them with the painters tape. If you’re spraying a ball rack, sand that as well.

Shake the can of Krylon® Premium Foil Metallic - Foil Purple thoroughly, for at least two minutes. Apply light, even coats of Krylon® Premium Foil Metallic - Foil Purple to one end of the racket in a sweeping motion with slight overlap, starting and ending each spray stroke off the racket. Once you’re finished, follow similar instructions to spray the entire surface of the ball rack using Krylon® COLORmaxx™ in True Blue.

Start building your gradient on the rackets using the can of Krylon® Color Morph in Purple - Blue. Before you begin, shake the can for at least two minutes. Then, spray the racket. As you move along each one, tilt the can upward and spray at an angle, using the overspray to create a fade. Gradients can be tricky, so it’s a good idea to practice before starting on the actual racket.
