I highly recommend spray paint—its is one of my favorite finishes if you want a more sophisticated finished sometimes spray paint layered with acrylic washes and even rub and buff make a nice transformation. I Purchased thrift store or consignment shop or garage sale frames pretty exclusively for all my artwork and they really can be transformed with a little TLC. Best wishes and your frame right painting projects

    PREPARE:

    Always work in a well-ventilated area. Cover the floor and nearby items with a drop cloth. Lightly scuff any glossy surfaces and wipe clean with a lint-free cloth. Use Painter’s tape to hide any surfaces you don’t want to paint.


    PAINT:

    Using slow, back-and-forth motions, spray paint each item with several light coats of spray paint, making sure to overlap each stroke slightly. Apply 2-3 coats of spray paint, waiting a few minutes in between each coat.


    FINISH:

    Let spray paint dry for approximately 1 hour before handling.
