When i spray paint I get this dripping paint effect! So my burst gets ruined... Any suggestions?

[GuerrillaDrumMaking]

@MagicXXMadness Sounds like your putting it on to thick and too wet. Back up from drum, and do light coats/passes around the drum.

what did you use to spin the drum? becasue im going to paint my kit soon and i want to have a base like that, that will allow it to spin.

@KeithMoon94:

a hi hat stand, one square board, two 2X2 risers

[KeithMoon94]

@GuerrillaDrumMaking sweet! thats pretty gehto!

[GuerrillaDrumMaking]

@KeithMoon94 ghetto might be one way to say it... I'd say resourceful is a better descriptor!

@roger201288 Don't it'll choke your cymbal and it can break easily and it won't sound the same

[roger201288]

Is it ok to spray paint cymbals? I want to paint mine black or fluorescent but im scared it's gonna fuck up the sound =/

@liltaz94 I have done this with my drum set. If you have the plastic wrap that gives the drum it's color, you can just spray paint over it. I used Krylon paint.

@MasonBangsDrums a store.

The paint would be easier to spray if you made the drum rotate horizontally. No worries of dripping paint that way.

what kind of paint is good to spray paint a drum?

[ruggy19]

@liltaz94 unlikey you'll get crap adhesion and the paint will crack and peel after time

[ruggy19]

as a wood finisher i can honestly say using a spray can will give the wankest finish known to man full of tracks. dont do it yourself get a pro to do it

[drummersabu]

@MagicXXMadness you are spraying either too close or not rotating as quick so it gets more paint than it should. spray it from a bit further.... more paint will go to waste but it'll give you better results. and rotate a bit quicker.

it's kind of hard to explain but try to find the right distance.... like playing drums.... once you find that balance then you can do it. I hope this helped.

[MasonBangsDrums]

What kind of paint is that, and where can i buy it?
