Just FYI- I do still have a half a can or so left of the color. I have nearly a whole can of the Primer product. I would absolutely use this vinyl spray paint again and recommend it. If you have the ability to actually remove the pieces you’re working on to lay them flat, DO IT. It’ll save you some trouble.
Then you spray the primer. (Step 1) It isn’t necessary to be heavy-handed, just a light coat is all you need. then it says to rub it in to the cracks and crevices with a lint free cloth. I used an old tea towel. I truly think it would have been SO much easier with an old paintbrush. Then wait at least 30 minutes to get the primer dry. This step allows the “paint” to have something to stick to. You cannot skip it. here
Cons: more expensive than regular spray paint, much thinner than what you might except so be prepared, it may require more coats than you were expecting, and therefore a bit more time.
Did you know there is such a thing as vinyl spray paint? Here’s the story of how I “found” it and what I used it on. I’ve told you about my husband’s family place up in the Adirondacks… it’s right on a lake. It’s rustic and amazing and we love it there.
Once it’s “tacky”, then you pull out Step 2- the actual color. You spray it on the primed surface and then the directions say take a lint free cloth and rub it into the cracks and crevices.. Once again, use an old paintbrush, you’ll be happier. It almost seemed like I rubbed most of it off. Honestly, I was getting nervous about the coverage. The can warns you will most likely need more than one coat. They aren’t kidding. I was covering a white surface with a white paint, so remember that if you use this to guesstimate how many cans you might need. In theory that would require even less paint than normal- this is after the first coat: here
The process is a little bit complex and you want to pay attention to what you’re doing- I’m warning you ahead of time. here

This procedure is considerably straightforward and is substantially derived from a video shared by the YouTube channel Better Boating. I was sold by the video series showing the result through before and after snippets spanning six months.
