A coat of paint can put the right finishing touch on projects. To get the best results, you need the right type of paint for the job. Craft or hobby spray paint can be a good solution for a variety of applications, and Ace Hardware can help you find what you need online and in stores.

What Is Hobby Spray Paint?

Hobby or craft spray paint is a sprayable paint that can be applied to a variety of materials, such as metal, resin, wood and plastic. Compared to general-purpose spray paint, hobby paint tends to last longer. In addition, it often contains self-leveling agents that allow for more even coverage. As a result, it is a better choice for applying spray paint to items with a high level of detail, such as figurines or miniatures.

Although its formula differs from general-purpose spray paint, hobby spray paint works in the same way. The paint is a mix of pigments, carriers and propellant gas placed in an aerosol can. When you press on the trigger nozzle, the propellant in the can converts the liquid paint to a fine mist that goes directly onto whatever you need to paint. Craft spray paint is a convenient alternative to conventional paints because it applies and dries more quickly.

What to Consider When Buying Craft Spray Paint

Color and finish can be a good starting point when shopping for hobby spray paint. From blues, browns and pinks to purples, reds, yellows and more, Ace has a hobby spray paint products in a rainbow of colors.

Hobby Spray Paint Finish

The finish tells you how shiny a craft spray paint will appear when it dries.

  • Matte: For bold color with no shine, opt for a matte product. Chalk spray paint takes matte effects to the next level, giving objects an aged, chalky appearance.
  • Satin and semi-gloss: These finishes fall in-between matte and glossy, with satin having more shine than matte but less than semi-gloss finishes.
  • Glossy: To give something a high-shine look, try glossy hobby spray paint.

What’s more, metallic spray paints have a shimmering quality that looks similar to metal to give you another versatile finish option.

What Material Surfaces Are You Painting?

As you compare options, consider what you’re painting, how it will be used and where it will be placed. Metal items that will be exposed to the elements may benefit from craft spray paint with rust-prevention ingredients that lower the likelihood of rusting over time. You can also find UV-resistant craft spray paint that can better hold up to the fading effects of sun exposure.

What is Glow in the Dark Spray Paint?

The glow-in-the-dark quality of some spray paints is found in fluorescent spray paint products, which have bold, bright color. In some cases, fluorescent products are glow-in-the-dark spray paints that use phosphor to create a glowing effect in the dark.
