-
In a well-ventilated area, cover a flat surface with a drop cloth or tarp to protect from overspray.
-
Before starting, read your Krylon labels for safety, application and dry-time instructions.
-
Place your robot costume, unassembled, on the drop cloth with enough spacing to avoid overspray.
-
Using sandpaper, sand down any rough, shiny or uneven surfaces to make everything as smooth and dull as possible.
-
Wipe down the surfaces with a damp, lint-free cloth to remove dust particles. Allow to dry before painting.
-
Tape off any areas you don't want to paint.
-
Shake your Krylon can for at least 1 minute before spraying.
-
To achieve the featured look, spray paint the main body and feet with Krylon Fusion All-In-One Metallic Satin Nickel, staying 8-10 inches away to avoid drips. Recoat until you achieve the desired finish, waiting 1 minute between coats.
-
Repeat this process with Krylon Shimmer Metallic Candy Blue Razz on the leg covers and antenna tips, Krylon Fusion All-In-One Gloss Sunbeam on the helmet, and Krylon Fusion All-In-One Gloss Red Pepper on the antenna base and front disc detailing.
-
Wait 1 hour for paint to dry before carefully removing any tape and assembling costume.
