But I used my vinyl stencil skills on my Camp Time Roll-a-Stool to spray paint my own design. And before anyone says it, I've been dyeing Bob-Ombs on discs WAY before DD used it and slapped they're logo on it.
Tips:
•Use a paint that bonds to plastic.
•The canvas WILL absorb the paint like a liquid. So use moderate coats (still see blue for the first few coats) to get sharp lines. I used heavy coats, and they bled under the edge of the stencil a tiny bit.
•After your initial spray and waiting time, it will soak in and you'll see more blue than right aftr you sprayed.
•Wait about 20 minutes between coats, while paint is just dry to touch.
•Use heat & rolling pressure (aka: rolling pin, not squeegee) on the stencil to get good first time adherence.
•Peel stencil before paint fully cures. If you wait too long, you run the risk of the stencil bonding to the layer of paint, and pulling up bits when you peel it off.
I'm going to let it cure for a few days before reattatching the seat to the legs...just as a precaution.
