For my custom projects, I typically stick with Krylon Fusion All-In-One Paint + Primer – it’s durable, versatile, and comes in a ton of colors.

I start by lightly sanding the surface for better adhesion, then apply multiple thin coats instead of one thick layer to avoid drips and get a smooth, even finish. Patience is key – I let each coat dry fully before adding the next.

Once I’m happy with the coverage, I seal it with a matte or satin clear coat for protection without the shine. Glossy finishes tend to show fingerprints, so I avoid them. This process ensures my paint jobs look great and last.
