Instructions

Spray Paint Project Steps

Set up a spray area by covering work area with a drop cloth. Make sure it is a well-ventilated area.
Using an all-purpose cleaner/degreaser, wipe down the entire workbench to remove all dirt and grime. Rinse thoroughly with water and allow to dry.
Prep surface by sanding any rough areas. If there are areas with flaking rust, use a wire brush to remove it. Wipe clean.
Applying in a well-ventilated area, begin painting the top work surface of the workbench, holding the can of Krylon^® Rust Protector^™ Gloss Enamel - White 6-8 inches from the surface and paint using a sweeping side-to-side motion with slight overlap.
Allow paint to dry for 30-60 seconds.
Continue to apply light, multiple coats, waiting 30-60 seconds between each, until you are satisfied with the appearance.
Allow paint to dry, less than one hour, and cover top work surface area with paper and painter's tape to mask.
