Speaking of nozzles: not all spray paint can nozzles are created equal.

This plastic is also used by automotive manufacturers on a regular basis, meaning that you’re more than likely to interact with it if you want to give your care a paint job. A medium-grit sandpaper can help provide further adhesion by creating a more even, matte surface. If you’re priming non-glossy plastic, look for an acrylic-based or epoxy-based primer instead. For best results, you should apply two or three coats of primer, allowing the primer to dry between coats.

The paint naturally binds with the material without the need for priming. With this paint, you can cover as much as ten square feet, and it’s a perfect choice for outdoor furniture and plastic fences.

How long does it take for spray paint to dry on plastic?

As for the form of paint, most paints for use on plastic are spray paints, which do a good job of laying down an even coat of color over materials with smooth surfaces such as plastic. Still, you can opt for brush-on paints for plastic if you prefer. That said, some spray paints can take up to weeks to dry, or they may require special tools or exposure to unique materials to ever completely dry. If you want to avoid purchasing additional spray painting tools, then you can explore your spray paint options for a can that will both react well to use with the plastic of your choice and dry within a reasonable amount of time.

Make sure to sand the plastic lightly before painting, and be sure to allow each coat to dry completely before adding a new layer.

The majority of paints that adhere to plastic are spray paints. Spray paint applies evenly over plastic's smooth surface, and you don't need to worry about brush marks, which would show up very clearly on a plastic surface. Still, if you prefer or need a brush-on paint, other choices work well on plastic surfaces. Brush-on paints like Majic Paints Diamond Hard RePurpose are especially helpful if you are painting something very small and detailed, such as a craft or miniature, or conversely, if you need to cover a large surface such as a cabinet or piece of furniture. As you’re exploring your spray paint options, you’ll also want to consider whether or not you’re in the market for any accessories or additives. If you want to take on a simple project, for example, you may want to keep an eye out for a spray paint that advertises its durability and self-sealing properties. Alternatively, if you’re open to purchasing additional materials, you can pair a less-comprehensive spray paint with the following.

There are two types of finish that you have to consider when spray painting a piece of plastic. The first “finish” refers to a separate painting product. You can choose to apply a finish, or a sealant, to your paint job if you want to invest in an additional layer of gloss, waterproofing, or other protective measures. Wiping helps remove surface dirt or any sealants that may compromise the adhesion of your paint. After wiping, wash the object with clean water and allow it to dry. Step 2: Lightly Sand to Boost Adhesion Rust-Oleum spray paint cans typically feature unique nozzles and tips to prevent finger fatigue and create consistent, even strokes. In addition, the Rust-Oleum Painter’s Touch Ultra Cover 2x provides complete coverage with a single coat, allowing you to complete your project faster with less paint.

That said, this spray paint is likely best used as a paint for interior plastics and creative projects. While perfectly serviceable when applied to vehicular plastics, the decrease in that plastic’s flexibility may lead to performance problems for the vehicle in question in the future. For example, if it is a high-temperature environment or a very humid day, the paint may take longer to dry than in a cooler environment. Also, solvent-based paints tend to dry much faster than other types of paints, such as latex-based paints. Plastic isn’t your typical substrate. It’s known to repel paint since it’s not as porous as wood, fabrics, or cardboard. As such, it’s important to use only Rust-Oleum specialty paint when painting plastic which guarantees superior adhesion and smooth surfaces.
