Tip of the Day



Small Spray-painting Job?

Got a painting job that needs a spray-gun finish but is too small to warrant renting all that stuff? Most painting around the home is done with either a brush or roller. For most jobs these tools work fine, but for other jobs a smoother finish is desired. The absolute best finishes are accomplished by spraying. But when the job is small (like a few kitchen cabinet doors) renting or borrowing and setting up all that stuff doesn't make sense (not to mention the cost and/or cleaning it and taking it back). The answer is a one-time aerosol spray available at your local hardware store. It has a small glass bottle and a throwaway propellant canister. You supply the paint, and it supplies the spray. Together you do the job that's needed and skip all the other needless work and expense. You also avoid the worst choice -- living with unsightly brush strokes. Relax, beautiful small paint jobs are only a one-time aerosol spray away. And that's the On The House tip for today.
