Hey I’m new to spray painting so I’m not sure how to spray paint a print, do I just hold the button down or I’ve seen some people do like short bursts on the prints so idk

read the directions on the can
Shake the can for an uncomfortable amount of time
Sometimes helps to put it in some warm water beforehand
Shake it again
Spray from like a foot or so away
Don’t linger on any spots too long or it’ll start running
read the instructions on the can
Make sure it cures before you start messing with it
A few light coats or somewhat medium coats is better than a heavy coat
Don’t let it cook in the sun
Don’t breathe it in if you can help it
Try to keep paints within the same type and brand but you can test on plastic spoon for paint reactions otherwise
Primer is your friend
Clear coat is your friend

Couldn’t have said it any better. And don’t be afraid to make mistakes! Look at my first helmet compared to my latest.

You mean the inside of your helmet? if so no.
