Inspire Paint + Primer Semi-gloss Sprays
bring color to life with long-lasting protection and durability.
The Paint + Primer formula ensures excellent coverage
and adhesion on a variety of interior/exterior surfaces;
including wood, metal, plastic, wicker and more. The
Inspire advanced coating system sprays at any angle,
even upside down for those hard-to-reach areas. The
ergonomically-shaped comfort spray tip has a wider finger
pad to reduce finger fatigue caused by continuous
spraying.
TIP: Some plastics made of polyethylene such as Little
Tikes
®*
children’s product are manufactured in such a way
that may hinder maximum paint adhesion. Test paint in a
hidden area first.
