Steps
-
Buy the spray paint color(s) that you plan to use. If you have the money, try the more advanced hand held spray paints with nozzles.
-
Clean the LEGOs you plan to paint. Make sure they're dried off before you paint them.Advertisement
-
Because spray paints are highly volatile and contain VOC (volatile organic content), wear a protective mask when you're spray painting. Try to work in an open area with proper air ventilation and keep away from sources of ignition of a fire or flame. If you're a child, then ask for a parent's assistance.
-
Cover the surface where you'll be painting your piece(s) on with newspaper.
-
Aim the nozzle of the can towards the pieces, holding the spray at a distance of 1 to 14 inches away from the brick.
-
Paint on a side to side direction, sweeping the parts from left to right, then right to left until the surface of the LEGO piece has been painted.[1]
-
Wait 5 to 10 minutes for the bricks to dry. After drying, turn the pieces to the other side and do the same.
