Krylon Gloss Navy Fusion Spray Paint 12 oz K02326001

I have a set of steel rims on my truck that I painted with Krylon Fusion 2 years ago. I prepped the surfaces by sandblasting, degreasing, rinsing off with water and air drying. Applied a coat of paint every fifteen minutes until I had 4 coats dried, then finished them with a can of Krylon matte clearcoat. After two years of street and off-road driving the rims still look like they were professionally done with no chips or scratches in the paint. I also did a camoflauge finish on an AR-15 with the same results. My prep for the plastics and aluminum parts on the rifle consisted of degreaser and water to rinse off. Can't say enough good things about this paint.

I've been using Krylon Fusion now for a couple of years now and I mostly use it to paint automotive engine covers and smaller plastic underhood plastic pieces. Part prep is very simple, just wash with soap and water to remove most of the dirt, then spray with a static repellant like Static Guard, then a good wipe down with paint thinner. As soon as the paint thinner dries, I paint the parts. If the parts are small enough, I throw them in my dedicated paint drying oven at 175F for 4 hours (when the 4 hours is up, I turn the oven off and let the parts and the oven cool off). This greatly accelerates the full cure time and the parts can go right into service! Sticks extremely well to difficult to work with plastics like polypropylene and polycarbonate, particularly after using the heat cure. Larger pieces that can't be baked are left in the sun for a few hours but are left to sit for 7 days before going into service. Another current project I am using them on is the restoration of some fibreglass Herman Miller Eames chairs. After sitting outside 20 years, a new finish is going to breath new life into these classic works of art! I've had some of the typical "issues" that people report like the "dusting", which for any paint that isn't applied in a spray booth, to be a normal occurrence. Also, I occasionally have issues with the rough finishes but I attribute that to poor paint environment, like the temperature/humidity being too high, or painting in direct sunlight. For the Herman Miller chairs, I fully expected to do a final wet sanding after I was done especially after painting the insides of the chairs which proved to be more difficult than I thought. Also, the coverage may not be exactly what the can says, coverage amount on the can is like a speed limit, it's a suggestion under ideal conditions! I'd suggest using a clip on spray handle and if possible always keep the can and the piece you are working with vertical. You can paint items horizontally (flat) but this is more difficult and your results may vary...and you will use way more paint spraying horizontally.
