It can be frustrating to finish spray painting a project and not be able to put it together because it's still wet.To seal the paint and make it dry, you can coat it with a wax-based furniture polish.An old oven can be used to bake the paint and speed the drying process.You can change the environment where the paint is drying to get it to dry faster if you don't have access to furniture polish.
Step 1: Let the spray paint dry for 5 minutes.
You can use any spray paint you want.You can paint your object in any of the patterns or colors you want.Depending on the design you want, you can layer paint.You might need more than one coat to spray-paint wood.
Step 2: The object should be coated with furniture polish.
The furniture polish can streak your paint.Hold the can of furniture polish close to the object.The area that has been spray-painted should be sprayed.If there are multiple layers of paint, let the first coat of polish dry and then spray again.If it's spray form, you can use a wax-based furniture polish.
Step 3: After spraying the object, wipe the furniture polish off.
To clean the area you sprayed with furniture polish, use a soft, clean rag.Don't apply too much pressure.It won't take your spray paint off, but it might remove a lot of the polish and leave it exposed.
Step 4: Make sure the object is dry.
After you apply furniture polish to your object, it should be dry.Use the pad of your finger to pat the object.You're all set if your finger is clean and dry.Let your finger sit for 5 minutes if it doesn't come away dry.The furniture polish acts as a sealant and can be left on the object permanently.It's not a good idea to make a film on your object, but it might look good.
Step 5: Apply a thin coat of paint.
The more paint you use on the object, the quicker it will dry.When painting, use a thin layer of paint.If you don't get enough coverage from one thin layer, apply a second and let the first dry.
Step 6: There is a heater near the object.
The hotter the room is, the quicker the paint will dry.It is possible to turn up the heat in your house.It's a good idea to set up the space heater to point at the painted object.It will not reduce the dry time by a lot, but it will shave off a couple of hours.
Step 7: Decrease the amount of humidity.
Make sure the windows where your objects are drying are closed if you're painting inside and it's humid outside.If it's humid, you should not let spray-painted objects dry outside.They should be brought inside to a dry room.There is a room where your paint is drying.
Step 8: There is a warm, dry day.
If you are doing a lot of painting and need to be outside, plan your day carefully.Paint on a warm, dry day and start in the morning.You can take advantage of the weather to dry your paint more quickly.
Step 9: Turn on a fan.
The rate of evaporation for the water in the paint will increase if you move the air where your paint is drying.In the room where your paint is drying, turn on the ceiling or floor fans.Before you turn on the fan, make sure the room is clean.If there's a lot of dust, dirt, or other debris in the room, the fan can kick it up and it can end up sticking in your paint.
