    Yes, you can use spray paint, but make sure it says for outdoor and has a primer in it :)

    Hello. I always recommend the outdoor paint and primer spray paints. They tend to hold up a little better although they may flake off in a few years. The bonding primer in these formulations just lasts a little bit longer.

    Hi Kathy, it depends on where you TV table is. If it get's alot of sunlight, it may peel, fade and/or chip. Ordinary spray will work as long as you prepare clean the glass really well to remove any dust and oily finger prints. If the glass can't be soaked in water,wipe it down thoroughly with a damp microfiber cloth or sponge and let dry.

    Hi! It kind of depends on what it's made of. Some faux wood made from pressed wood, particle board, etc. Is going to absorb moisture no matter how diligent you are painting it, and will separate. Keeping it up off the ground, protecting from getting wet, will help make it last longer. Use paint that is intended for outdoors is important. I have a personal preference for Rustoleum products, because I have had such good results. Good luck and stay safe!

    Hi there Kathy: I would use Rustoleum primer, or automobile spray primer, then lightly sand. I would then use Rustoleum spray paint. You will not need any top coat, but Spar varnish is made for boats and would probably work really well on this project. Spar does come in a spray can, you can find it at Home Depot, Lowes and Amazon.

    Very tough, clear wood finish. Resists cracking, checking, peeling, and yellowing. Protects wood from water, salt air, sun damage, and atomspheric polution. Ideal for patio furniture, exterior doors, bar tops, and wooden boat surfaces. Aerosol spray.

  • Spray paint, or any paint really, won’t stick well to glass. It will stick to the plastic or wood of a tv.

    Hello Kathy,

    Paint will last longer if you spray the underside instead of the top!

    Spray paint is great! BUt I would seal it off with a clear coat of weather resistant top coat.
