I had to use 400 and 600 grit wet sandpaper to remove the red paint from the inside of the lights. I used a light coating of dish soap to coat the insides so the paint would not stick there. ![]() They look very professional, no one can tell that they didn't come that way. In my case the lights were black and I used a spay primer (white) before painting them very red. ![]() I actually read the directions which must be printed in about 4 pica. But you must wait about a week for the paint to really cure so it can't be scratched off. I spray painted some wall sconces this year and I learned that when the can says to spray light coats they mean not to spay a light coat and come back later, but to spray light coats until you have coverage - then come back SOON - in less than an hour, to put your second coat on. ![]() I just wanted to add what I learned this summer - if you are spraying on the ground you have to get spray paint cans that allow you to paint at any angle, otherwise the object must be about shoulder height so you so you can paint horizontally.
