How to Personalise Your Cricket Set with White Knight Squirts

Lay out your cricket bat, stumps and bails.
Give everything a good clean to remove dirt, grass and backyard dust so the paint sticks perfectly.
Use tape and paper to cover any areas you don’t want painted. Create stripes, angled designs, colour blocks, anything to bring personality to your set.

1Prep Your Cricket Gear

Spray paint cans in various colors on a table with masking tape, rolled paper, and a taped black rod, suggesting a painting project setup.

Grab your first White Knight Squirts colour and spray an even coat across your design.
Go bright, bold or beachy, whatever matches your backyard summer vibe.
Let it dry before applying your next colour.

2Spray First Colour

Use a second (or third!) colour in fun patterns to make your design pop.
Let everything dry again.

3Layer Your Next Colour

A colourful, custom cricket set is guaranteed to spark excitement, even from the kids who claimed cricket was “boring".
