Use with caution...
Be sure to read the 2nd paragraph.I’m used to using spray can paint for intricate work, because I spray guitars with nitrocellulose paint. It takes a lot of skill, so I thought using this stuff for a few household jobs would be a doddle. However, this paint is not much cop. It’s patchy and the spray volume varies a lot, making a regulated flow of paint impossible.Here’s the bit that isn’t in the product description that you should know about. There’s something in this product that sets of FIRE ALARMS. I don’t know what it is, but the first time I used it all of my fire alarms went off and they kept going for TWO and a HALF hours!My fire alarms are on the mains and battery backup-ed, so even pulling the mains fuse did not stop them.I decided to use the product again as I had some spare. As I’m used to using nitrocellulose paint I ventilate the room and so on, but this time I also sealed the door I was working in to prevent the fire alarms kicking off. However, despite my precautions, the fire alarms were set off THREE HOURS ago and they show no signs of quitting. As I type this, I’m in my third hour of deafening fire alarm madness with every window in the house open in the middle of winter.The bottom line is that I know how to use spray paint properly and these are the problems that I am experiencing.In conclusion – if you just want to spray paint a flowerpot in your garden and you’re frightened of paintbrushes, then this product is probably okay for you. However, if you’re a professional wanting a quality product, or if you need to work indoors in a property with fire alarms, then this product most certainly isn’t.When will the fire alarms stop?

Exactly the colour I wanted and it was my first time doing any kind of spraying project... I actually sanded primed then sprayed my vespa.... she looks cute as can be

saved me £94
£100 quote to match a kitchen door, this paint done it for £6. good stuff, 5 thin coats every 3 minutes. touch dry in very quickly to prevent bugs, dust etc settling while spaying in the garden...... durability, let’s see but for now a full 5 stars.

Fantastically easy
Brilliant, Brilliant, and brilliant. I picked up an old cast iron table and chairs that someone had left out for the scrap man, but it was too pretty to let go the tip. So I rescued it, quick rub down of the rusty bits, and sprayed with this, the old cream and rust table and chairs now look absolutely gorgeous, and the colour is divine, looks just right for a garden, not too green, not too dark, not too light, kind of subdued green, so just sits there in the garden looking as though it just fits in so well. The spray itself is great, it sprays out nice and wide to give a light covering, no runs, and its touch dry in 20 mins! I sprayed the whole of the first chair in 15 minutes ( including underneath) Be aware that it doesnt go very far, I could only get 2 chairs out of one can, so had to get another can for the table, but its not expensive, and so easy to use, I'm over the moon

Easy to transform things, but didn’t stay too well on plastic frames
I bought this to spray paint a plant pot from green to pink to go with the colours in my bedroom. I also sprayed some Ikea plastic frames and a little pot. The colour stayed really well on the plant pot and the little metal pot but has flaked slightly on the picture frames. The colour was as expected, perhaps a tiny bit brighter than I thought but overall I’m happy with it! Easy to use and transformed something to do just what I wanted

Good for the price
Bought this to upcycle a writing bureau we inherited. For the price, I was pretty impressed. It was much quicker to cover than painting with furniture paint and a brush - though I did get an achy hand after a while from holding the button down whilst spraying.Coverage was good. I didn’t bother to clean or sand the furniture beforehand, I just went straight to it (simply covered up the keyholes and removed drawers and handles). It really only needed one coat but I did give some areas a second coat. The sides of the drawers were untreated wood and it took ages to dry on this surface and was tacky more than 24 hours later, compared to the stained wood surfaces which dried in 20 minutes!I used two cans to complete this look.

Saved Me Money
Love this stuff. Transformed an entire TV Console from White to black and some LED Lights - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0727QV35K/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_17 and saved myself £350. At the time of purchase is was cheaper than most DIY stores.Warning: The mist from the spray reaches far and wide, even when you think a space won't need to be covered, cover it. Whether you are indoors or outdoors.
