top paint methods

Re: top paint methods

heck thats up to you
but i will say that new rustoleum in the funny looking can lays out a real sweet pattern if i were to rattle can something that i kinda wanted nice i would def chum up the extra coin and use it i redid an old school desk and locker for my sons room and used it and it ended up looking like it was single stage out of a gun
and stays the same pattern if the can was sideways or upside down

Re: top paint methods

I used a paint roller, ruff texture, with marine paint for the uv protection. Came out very nice and brought the texture in the top back. Can't tell it was rolled.
