Fine Art Aerosol: Because aerosol paint is released as a fine art aerosol spray, objects are best taken outside for painting. Choose a still day to avoid too much paint drift. Protect the area around the object being painted with old sheets or newspapers. If you do have to work indoors, over a period of time, it is best to wear a protective mask.Paint in aerosol cans is ideal for small areas, touching-up or repair jobs, stencilling, and painting awkward objects such as the many different surfaces and twists and turns of wrought iron railings or gates. The choice of colors is not as extensive as you will find for traditional paints, since the more subtle tones are not available. Aerosol paints are not intended to be used for painting large areas. Shake the can well before use and hold it at the recommended distance from the surface. Apply the paint in parallel bands, never in an arc. Apply only a very thin coat, allow it to dry, and build up further coats.
Q Aerosol sprays are not ideal for use with stencils. Not only can the fumes be hazardous, but careful masking with newsprint is essential if you do not want to spray the surrounding area. Seepage of paint under the edges of the stencil can also be a problem. Sprays are wonderful, however, for working with large areas of flat color and particularly good if you are working on fabric. |
