Step-by-step

Step 1
It’s so quick and easy to paint smooth surfaces (e.g. metals) in bright colours. The object must be dry, clean and free from traces of grease or rust. For even better adhesion, an enhanced sheen and protection against rust, first paint the object with edding Universal Primer.

Step 2
For larger areas, apply the paint of your choice from the edding Permanent Spray range using both horizontal and vertical strokes, at a distance of approx.25 cm from the object. An edding spray can even cope with those hard-to-reach corners and edges with total ease.

Step 3
Because the paint is quick-drying, you can bring a glow to your windowsill with your favourite lanterns in next to no time. Alternatively, you may prefer to give your creations extra protection by adding a coat of edding Clear Lacquer.
