What type of paint should I use to just splash it on? Im the painting expert here! Lolā€¦ First, make sure your spray paint says ā€œMetalā€ on it. Also mask of the bearing seat and keep the axle in so paint wonā€™t go through the axle holeā€¦ Splash? Any paint, just make sure itā€™s acrylic. I use Crafting paintā€¦ Get a small thin paintbrush and dip it in the paint, then splatter it on, get creative Splat, Splat, Splat!! Then add a clear coat if you please so the paint wonā€™t chip or come offā€¦ PM me if you want me to do it for you, (check my thread), or if you have any questionsā€¦ ---

Creating a speckle/splashy effect with spray paint is painfully easy. Just pull back on the nozzle as opposed to pushing it down. Grab a few sheets of paper or something you donā€™t mind getting paint all over and try it out. ---
