Got tired outdoor chairs, weathered pots, or a metal table that’s seen better days? A fresh coat of White Knight Squirts® spray paint can bring them back to life. It’s quick, colourful, and perfect for craft and upcycling projects.
Step 1: Prep Your Surface
Great results start with good prep.
-
Clean away dirt, dust, and cobwebs.
-
Remove any rust with a wire brush or sandpaper.
-
Sand smooth surfaces lightly so the paint grips.
-
Protect the ground with a drop sheet or old cardboard.
Step 2: Shake the Can
-
Shake well for at least 1 minute.
-
Keep shaking occasionally while you work.
Step 3: Test Spray
-
Spray onto cardboard for 2–3 seconds.
-
This clears the nozzle and ensures an even spray pattern.
Step 4: Spray Evenly
-
Hold the can upright, about 20cm from the surface.
-
Start spraying just before the object and finish just past it.
-
Use smooth, sweeping strokes.
-
Overlap each pass by about 25% to avoid patchy colour.
Step 5: Build Up Coats
-
Apply 2–3 light coats rather than one heavy coat.
-
Allow about 1 hour between coats.
Step 6: Finish Strong
-
For outdoor use, consider sealing with a clear top coat for extra durability.
-
Let items dry completely before putting them back outside.
✅ DIY Tip: Spray painting works best in mild, dry weather. Avoid windy or damp days.
