Painting the Coat Rack Stem

1. The stem will be painted with tan enamel spray finish and a liquid plastic will be applied to the tips. Start by applying a coat of primer to the center area. Oil-based primer is usually a good choice when priming metal because the chemical compounds inside it help it adhere to the metal better. Let the primer dry for three hours.

   Safety Tip: It is always a good idea to wear a respirator when working with aerosols, especially an oil-based spray primer because they contain toxic chemicals.

2. Now it is time to spray on the enamel. Let it dry for 15 minutes and the put on another coat.
