how to spray paint… well anything

 I was hired by a client to make over her lacquer vases/jar/things…  I was a little worried because they were so shiny and and well lacquered.  She wanted them white for her new spa and I said ok lets see what we can do.

So I gave them a little bit of sanding and then two coats of primer.   I got a good heavy spray paint (krylon white gloss) and sprayed and sprayed and sprayed.  I took me lots of coats because you have to turn it to do the back, tip it upside down to get underneath.  Lets just say I sprayed sprayed and sprayed till it looked covered.

They looked great but they weren’t as shinny as I would have liked so i wet sanded them.  I love wet sanding.  You do have to get a special sand paper from Home Depot or Lowe’s.  You get the paper wet and the vase a little wet to and lightly sand a way…
