You can’t beat a can a spray paint and a little creativity. I still use spray paint often but if I have a big project I use my dual speed paint sprayer as I did on our bathroom vanity makeover.
Most of the time a good cleaning with a degreaser is all you need before you start your spray paint project.
Spray Paint supplies for most projects
- Spray Paint color of your choice
- Rust-Oleum comfort grip spray handle
- Canvas Drop Cloth
When I buy spray paint I am usually choosing a brand based on the color I am looking for since you can’t custom mix it like you can a can of paint. Next I look for a spray paint that has paint and primer in one. Those seem to work really well for on most brands across the board. If you like a particular brand because it has worked well for you then great!
Dining Room Table and Chairs Spray Paint Project

Our spray painted dining table and chairs is one of the biggest pieces I’ve ever spray painted. Now, 10 years later I still have this dining set. The only thing different is stripping paint off the table top.
Lamp Shade
