Basic Kitchen Repairs with Spray Paint

Within our homes, the kitchen is one of those spaces where some of the repairs or renovations of items can be carried out easily, pleasantly and cheaply using sprays. In some cases, we will need products specially designed for specific solutions like spray paint for metal or paint for stainless steel, but others of a more general use, like spray paint for wood or plastic, will also be useful.

How to make appliances look as good as new?

Few domestic experiences are more satisfying than enjoying a perfectly organized kitchen with new appliances. Unfortunately, this is a short-lived thrill, as damage will soon appear. However, it may not be necessary to buy new appliances in order to enjoy their perfect condition: in some cases, painting a microwave or a refrigerator makes a difference. 

For this purpose, Montana Colors offers a spray paint with optimized characteristics for the function of painting household appliances. Available in white and stainless steel, this paint is formulated to provide strong adhesion on metals and plastics, high resistance, and anticorrosive power. With this, the spray paint for appliances is the perfect tool for everything from painting your refrigerator to touching up your dishwasher or washing machine. This way, you can restore your appliances to their pristine appearance as if they were brand new.

Correcting holes, bumps or flaws with filler

Putty is a product used to even out a surface. Walls, furniture, or other items can be damaged by blows that cause indentations or cracks on its surface, and even if we repaint them, we cannot disguise them unless we fill them in. 

Repairing with filler is a common step in all types of repairs and DIY work. Montana Colors has two filler repair products that offer the right solution depending on the requirements: the polyester fiberglass putty, valid for filling large gaps, while the universal polyester putty is designed for cracks and minor imperfections. 

How to make paint hold on all surfaces

There is always the temptation to apply the paint directly in order to speed up the process, but on many occasions, the chipping of the paint will mean that we will have to repaint the touched-up item periodically until its appearance becomes affected by the different overlapping layers. 

Paint primers help give paint a stronger grip, which prolongs its durability. In cases such as anti-rust primers, they can also offer protective characteristics that could be necessary depending on the material.

In this regard, the most versatile product available is the universal primer. A perfect tool to help the paint strongly grip on top of different materials: plastics, metals, wood...

Water-based paint: best for interior use

Color is critical when renovating or repairing household items, and these tasks can also be carried out on kitchen furniture. Since it is an inside space, it is possible to avoid the impact of spray paint odor by using water-based spray paint. With performance equivalent to solvent-based paint, water-based acrylic paints are also the most sustainable choice when it comes to spray paint.

Essential for an aesthetic and long-lasting finish: varnish

In many cases, the final coat of varnish is essential to ensure the durability of the color and provide the object with a particular finish, as well as protection. 

For this purpose, we recommend the water-based varnish that MTN PRO offers in two options: the indoor, designed for varnishing elements that will be in closed spaces, and the outdoor, designed for varnishing outdoor surfaces and wood. Both water-based varnish options have three types of finish: matte, satin, and glossy.
