Aerosol Paint Job - Rescue Advice Needed..!

[magicniner]

Aerosol paints are a pain in that they tend to be very low in viscosity, that makes the difference between a "wet coat" which will achieve a flat surface and "running off onto the floor" a very fine line to tread ;-)

Argh Painting.!!! That why I bought plastic coater.?. . . . Now every thing gets plastic coated. .

Quick update on this - I stuck with the regular non-ferrous primer (as I have a couple of cans of the stuff) and made sure that I rubbed it down properly with an old sock to knock the dusty texture off the primer coat. Then it was 2 light coats of black gloss followed by one slightly heavier coat - now I'm totally getting what Magicniner was saying in his post on the previous page... You've really got to watch for that fine line between the paint building up into a layer just thick enough to give you a glossy coat - too much more after that and I can see that it would have run. Luckily I was paying attention and the finish came out pretty sweet...

But don't you think Clive the Screw slots being arranged Vertical to follow the lines of the handle sides would be nicer touch. . . . Great job Wal and nice shine.

Yes I do then it would also match the grain on the door. I will have a word with him the next time we meet up.

Matching screw alignment shows you care, don't listen to them, the angle of the dangle doesn't matter provided they match :D
