1. Embrace Simplicity
With edding Permanent Spray, you need nothing else but the spray. No thinner, brush, or stirrer. You can start right away. Really just spray - nothing else.

2. The Right Preparation

Spray cans prefer a comfortable room temperature of 15-25°C. Make sure the can has reached its comfort temperature before use to achieve the best results.

5. Fresh Air Ensures Clarity

Ensure that you work in a well-ventilated environment. Fresh air is important so you can breathe freely. Outside or in well-ventilated basements, workshops, or garages are the places where you can let your creativity run wild.

6. Protect Your Environment

Cover everything that should not get paint stains. Think about the spray mist and protect everything that is dear to you. Focus fully on the object to be painted and carefully tape off areas that should not be painted.

7. Good Visibility is Crucial

Make sure there is enough light so you can verify that the surface is evenly coated with spray paint.

8. Proper Object Preparation

Ensure that everything you want to spray is clean and dry. Remove rust and grease thoroughly. Uneven surfaces should be smoothed by sanding and filling. For fine work, you can use edding primers. Avoid spraying on surfaces treated with alkyd resin paint, as the paint could flake off.

9. Choosing the Right Spray Head

Remove the safety ring from the spray head. The spray head set from edding offers you different strengths:
Narrow head: For fine work (e.g., cell phone and computer cases)
Medium head: Medium-width spray pattern, ideal for corners and edges
Wide head: Paint large areas quickly
Variable head: The nozzle can be adjusted, especially suitable for large areas.

7. Shake for an Even Result

Shake the spray can for about three minutes. The typical sound of the mixing ball indicates that the paint is well mixed. Repeat this process between the steps to achieve optimal results.

10. Practice Makes Perfect

Before you start your actual project, test the paint on a piece of newspaper or cover. This way you can familiarize yourself with the spraying process.

11. The Right Spraying Technique

Proceed as follows in general:
1. Start spraying outside the object
2. Press the spray head down firmly
3. Maintain the correct distance depending on the spray head strength
4. Move the can slowly up and down
5. Change direction outside the object while spraying

11. Spraying Paths for Optimal Results

Execute the "Cross Path" technique by spraying first from left to right, then from top to bottom and repeating it vertically. This is a good choice for most objects.

For small objects, the spiral "Path of the Clever Snail" is suitable: spray from the inside to the outside.

12. Smooth Surfaces Through Patience

On the first pass, the surface may not be smooth immediately. Consider it a base and go over it again after one to two minutes. Several thin layers produce a better result than one thick coat. If it doesn't work the first time, wait a day and spray again to avoid the paint curling.

13. Post-processing Protects Your Success

If you want to avoid scratches, wear marks, or weather influences, apply clear coat. This transparent layer gives your object an elegant shine.
