Saturday morning, having awoken very late at 11am, I arranged my pieces in groups according to color being sprayed. Then I donned my disposable latex gloves, face mask, crocs and went to work! Spraying was super fun and I stopped to take a picture after my first round. It was then I noticed a lot of furniture had been left on the couch so I grabbed those and sprayed some more! The heat and humidity was insane and even with brief 15 minute periods outside, I was drenched with sweat running down all over.
I waited over between an hour to two until the items weren’t tacky anymore, before flipping, rearranging and spraying again. My mom visited me and was kind enough to bring me another can of kona brown and white as I burned through mine quickly. At this point, the humidity wasn’t helping the paint dry or me from getting nastier, so I set up our box fan atop the deep freeze. Not only did it create a breeze over the pieces, but it also helped blow the paint fumes away from the door into the house. A few pieces, including almost all the white, needed to be touched up so all day was in, out, stand up, squat down, spray, lift, etc.
I was miffed to discover the excess spray paint on the drop cloth was lifting up in flaps and sticking to the furniture. For my touch-up round, after bringing everything inside to cool and set for a few hours, I folded my drop cloth in half to give me a clean slate to work off. Still, the excess paint clumps didn’t make me happy and led to an expected process that took up my evening along with the round three of spraying.
