How do you paint a box with spray paint?

Shake the spray paint can well and apply a light, even coat of paint to the surface of the box. Hold the can approximately 6-8 inches away from the surface. Allow the paint to dry completely. Apply additional coats of paint if necessary, allowing each coat to dry before applying the next one.

How many cans does a spray paint storage rack hold?

This spray paint storage rack holds up to 25 cans, and is easy to customize to fit your needs. It mounts on the wall with a French cleat, and holds the cans at an angle so they don't roll out or fall over. As an added bonus, it adds a fun pop of color to my workshop wall!

Can you spray paint a cardboard box?

Yes, you can spray paint a cardboard box. However, it’s important to note that cardboard is not a very durable surface. So the paint may not adhere well and the box may become fragile after being painted. To ensure the best results, you should first prime the surface of the box with a spray primer specifically designed for cardboard.

How do you attach a spray paint rack to a wall?

Attach one half to the top of the spray paint rack with the point facing down and away from the back. Countersink the screws so the heads don't interfere with the cleat. I also recommend adding a strip of wood at the bottom to hold the rack straight on the wall. Otherwise, it will tilt under the weight.
